probably zoning laws. that’s a HUGE part of why we don’t just build more apartments in many places. it’s why people get so passionate about the “white flight” as it’s known and nimbyism. everyone wants to fix homelessness, but in any of the places that one could effectively build community housing it is illegal to make anything that provides housing to more than 1 or 2 families. the people that live there want homelessness to go away, but when it’s proposed to build low income housing nearby they freak out and say “poor people and drug addicts? they do crime. low income housing is cool, but not in my backyard”.

being poor in america has such a stigma that homeowners consistently vote to ban them from living nearby by banning apartments. to be perfectly honest, I’m just waiting for zoning laws to try and make these tiny homes illegal now that people are building them for the poor.

it’s safer, and already successful people hate taking risks that threaten their status.

but we have had a school shooting recently, Trump said “these things happen” about it.

that’s it. that’s what the fascists say about us dying. they ONLY care about the rich.

hell yeah, thanks buddy.

is there a version in English with the author’s info attached? i want to share it with my English speaking friends, but not be a fuck about it.

that’s not how pov works

somehow you missed the dripping sarcasm. he’s pointing out the things that conservatives would be mad about and label as socialism.

is corpses and the diseased. something that looks almost human but not quite is likely going to get you sick.

there’s a reason why waxy skin that doesn’t quite sit on the body correctly sets it off so hard.

could you perhaps be a little more descriptive? what is a jelly?

what exactly am i looking at here?

hmm, i find burritos keep fine if you freeze them fresh then brown them in a skillet when reheating.

maybe in urban areas, but rural hotels can easily still be $90 for a cheap one.

source: i drive cross country a lot.

yeah, many departments still get trained on “stockholm syndrome” despite it being thoroughly debunked and only ever part of pop-psych. in fact, the only “experts” that ever pushed it WERE police training “experts”. the whole situation in stockholm was competely misrepresented. the women didn’t love the bank robber, they just feared that the actions the police were taking would cost them their lives and thus begged them to do things differently. the police are the ones that locked them in a bank vault with the attacker. this, among a few other misreports by said police, resulted in a media circus about these women falling in love and not wanting to be saved. the idea that the police could be dangerous to these women was inconceivable to the public at the time.

it was a classic case of the police bungling a rescue and nearly costing multiple innocent lives to try to protect capitol, then ending up causing more damage than the thief was going to steal anyway. the women involved were barely studied after, but it was quickly concluded that the police were wrong about the women and that this syndrome they named was bunk. it was never in the dsm. it was never accepted science. too bad copeganda doesn’t care about facts. as i said, this shit is so sold to American police officers to this day.

there’s a great radiolab podcast from around December that talks to the survivors about it. you can go and listen to their side of the story if you want. they were terrified of the attacker the entire time and the police just kept making things worse for them.

the risks have been so incredibly thoroughly tested and found to not exist in a meaningful way. whether you trust science to be able to tell us that is irrelevant. i just wish we had a government that listened to science and data again.

Maybe, but apparently we’re tariffing multiple uninhabited islands. It would seem that active trade is not a perquisite for tariffs these days. can’t be having people move out there and not getting tariffed in the future.

I hope he puts tariffs on Mars next. Maybe after he falls out with musk.

this is basically the plot of the movie Brazil

that’s fair, but all the equipment and scales in their gym will be labeled in pounds.

i could see it in a dosage situation. like grams of steroids per pound of user. sure, it’s goofy to mix metric and imperial, but that’s just what those two things are commonly measured with in America. time spent doing unit conversations is time spent not lifting.

agreed, though i don’t necessarily think animals has a large gender bias.

maybe fuzzy cute animals do, but just appreciated and liking animals and nature docs is pretty gender neutral in my experience.

though i haven’t exactly looked up data on that…

haha, that’s why I’ve put almost 10 hours into it.

i suspect most mini games start to show their problems and biases when you spend 10 hours playing then lol. like, gwent was sick, but it really was just about stacking the most strong cards intoa single deck as you could.

caravan though… that was a great damn mini game. the interactive and believable element of needing to go around and collect old world playing cards to build out your deck did a lot to extend the game into the broader world. more than that though, it’s a genuinely playable and relatively balanced game. i happened to have a lot of incomplete card decks lying around when i grew up. eventually i repurposed those into one big deck that would get split in half to play with people irl and a randomized deck. only fantasy card game I’ve ever been able to recreate and play at home without buying anything. and it even played pretty well.
