Once you see how bad parking lots alone are it’s pretty hard to unsee it. I hear all the time from people “but we have a lot of space”, which is just crazy to hear. We constantly pave over anything that gets in our way to make another parking lot. Then the lots get so big that going to literally the next store over means it’s easier to drive than walk, which then leads to even larger parking lots.

Then it’s just everywhere in all conversations. If we’re building a new neighborhood how much parking will there be? New bike lane? What about parking. New walkable community? Parking?

And then you see the asinine things we’ve built. Malls are just mimicing a true walkable community because we have killed them, and then surrounded them in islands of massive parking lots. Malls literally just solve a problem that the parking itself created.

It’s… just so fucking stupid, and now I get mad whenever I see a stupid parking lot.

I was going to post that not just bikes video! That’s the one that seriously got me.

OP I also highly recommend the Climate Town episode where they talk about parking lots and how utterly stupid they are.

If they went straight to legal it means they legit don’t know how to stop it. That’s pretty damning for them.

First step would be to analyze the hack and the patch it so that the bypasses no longer work. I’m guessing the hack exposes a serious flaw.

So vibe coded non maintained BS AND on top of that it’s the exact sort of thing that will piss off YouTube and hurt creators when they inevitably put limits on uploads? No thank you.

For real he had all the leverage right there. People need him to earn millions in the upcoming shows. He could have simply said that his decision was also final, and pulled out. He could have offered to do more shows at better stadiums, and let them figure out how to deal with the political fallout. Even hardcore fans while distraught would have been angry at the stadiums, not ed. He fucked up that entire situation against himself.

Right? As soon as they threatened it he had all the leverage in the world. He would have all the positive press of saying he was being forced to cancel because of them, and showed solidarity with his fellow musicians. Could have even offered additional concerts in friendlier areas, promoting other cities and getting more dollars there.

Instead he fucked himself. The only way to semi crawl back is to admit his mistake and stand in solidarity, that’s the only move I see, and even then as you said he won’t look strong but like a coward.

After doing contracting for years I don’t know why anyone would trust “signing bonuses” that aren’t paid out immediately. If you don’t have it paid immediately, there is no bonus. It’s the same as “contract-to-hire” after 6 months. You aren’t getting converted at 6 months. It’s a 6 month contract then you’re out. They’re just dangling a carrot barely out of reach

Remember when conservatives were spreading propaganda against EVs that there was no way our grid could support them? I remember.

Yeah I think the wife is what changes it from a decent meme to boomer humor

Just going to say I just got a Bulls and love it. Very comfortable at long ranges, I like the configurable motor, the Bosch motor and ebike system is pretty great.

Right? What’s stupid idea. Just as stupid as the reddit temporary blackout with third party apps. Should Have just closed out all of their accounts and subs.

Good rules. My spouse and I have a pretty firm no phone rule when we are out to dinner. It seems rude to be there with someone and then just ignore them.

Seems like a great way for their precious oil infrastructure to stay safe

Uh no, I’m married now for well over a decade and these memes are still just lazy boomer “wife bad” memes. Is it perfect 24/7? Of course not, but I also wouldn’t say my day was ever ruined by her either.

I’ve been personally boycotting them since they bent over and spread in January 2025, so this was news to me. They really have a flock deal?

Anyone who has gone through an IPO knows how fucking rigorous all of the audits and reporting are for investors. Guaranteed 1000% that they failed the audit, or worse they didn’t even get to the audit stage, or as you said their finances they know are shit. It is zero surprise to me that they’re waiting.

America, where we can easily remove ebikes from the road but can do nothing about guns.

My casper is amazing, by far the most comfortable bed I have owned. Worth every penny. OP never cheap out on a mattress

Feel like there should be another layer below the feed showing that it’s also boomers who consume the Facebook feed.

But for really my uncle and dad are both lost to it. If you point out one item is AI they will accept it, but they will then go back to assuming everything is real immediately after.
