I like turn based RPGs sometimes. The biggest gripe I usually have is they often devolve into a state where I just want to play it in fast forward.
Like in ff7, somewhere in the second half I got Ultima+mp_absorb. From then on pretty much every trash fight is trivial. But you still need a lot of XP to level up stuff. Or ff5 I think, you can get double-cast if you spend an hour or two fighting trash mobs, but that's really boring.
This isn't inherent to turn based games, but it does come up a lot.
In their suit, bike lane opponents, who include popular Astoria businesses like Parisi Bakery, Sotto la Luna and King Souvlaki, argued that the project would "jeopardize" the safety of cyclists and "increase the likelihood of injuries" to pedestrians — despite city data and mounds of research showing protected bike lanes do the exact opposite.
Said opponents need to be barred from further speaking on the topic. Lying should lose you credibility. Being full-ass wrong should as well.
Fuck cars. I just wanna ride a bike and not worry about dying.
That's how I read it as well. People who say there's no ethical consumption, and then act like all wrongs are equally wrong so they might as well do the worst thing.
I remember a bunch of coworkers leaving during COVID and I was like "ok but what're you going to do after? It's fucking boring where you're moving to."
On the one hand, omnipresent surveillance is bad and ripe for abuse.
On the other, I feel like the haphazard and selective enforcement of traffic laws by police officers is also really bad. Cops can selectively enforce laws so poor people or black people or whatever out-group suffers more. A machine should be impartial.
On the last hand, no traffic enforcement is probably going to get people killed. So that's not desirable.
Also, fines are problematic. Fines should probably scale with wealth, but also it shouldn't be a revenue source because that's a perverse incentive.
