Hasters posted:In retrospect, that talk is hilarious because everybody in the room is probably involved in the tech sector in someway, and was supposed to be one of the "new urbanists" who were going to bring about the glorious revolution. However once they started to interact with poor people and people of color, they decided maybe the suburbs had it right the whole time. So they built their headquarters out in the middle of nowhere where they could have a private walkable compound, and when they do build in cities they need to make sure they have sky bridges so their people won't actually have to interact with the people who live in the city. New urbanism will not happen in America until we have nothing but affluent white-only cities. Bitching about the sky bridges is pretty silly and I don't mean just you personally, I remember the huge deal this was when it came up a while ago. Our office is in an industrial park with few poor people around because there's nothing to do here unless you have a job (it's also in socialist utopia) but we have this sky bridge connecting two buildings:  It owns because, depending on where you are, it's much easier to go straight through it in the direction you need rather than go in the opposite direction, go down the stairs or elevator, go out and to the building you need, scan your badge, and then potentially have to walk back because the reception is beyond the destination. Especially when the weather sucks. Not because we might run into poor people.

There's even a marketing scheme behind them, trying to make them a tourist attraction since they've been an important part of our cityscape for like 35 years. Here's a map of the connections of the buildings.  Legend has it these walkways were built to keep foreign oil dignitaries happy while visiting our city because we get some pretty extreme weather. Lord knows going outside in -40 for 20 seconds would destroy business.

It's nice having it on the second floor instead of underground because you get more sunlight in the winter.

Vertical Lime posted:I guess this means less than it seems Leave it to liberal elites (Yes the Post qualifies) to completely misunderstand Trump's appeal. Trump is like Hitler, a demagogue, appealing to a broad disenchantment with reality. He says a few things which people believe are true, getting him some attention. But what really attracts him to the Republican base is his vitriol. He is an embodiment of their pent up rage. Hannah Arendt wrote the primary appeal of the totalitarian culture, perhaps any culture, is that it can create “a lying world of consistency which is more adequate to the needs of the human mind than reality itself." We cannot stand that the world does not make sense to us. So much about life seems arbitrary, directionless and futile. If our cultural myths are inadequate to the task of creating meaning and purpose, we work to create new meaning. Violence is one such method and Trump is willing to supply some of it. This is part of a subconscious hostility, our “rage to live” as Belgian writer Raoul Vaneghime described it. This hostility is profound in the US, especially among Republicans. They want someone to smite their enemies with unrelenting force. It is through this violence they hope to have new meaning and direction in life. Long story short: McCain is seen as a weak loser. I'm sure they're completely happy to throw him overboard. In other news, I'm getting better at GIMP. I call it "Shine, Perishing Republic" after the Jeffers poem.

 It's greener again now, or was, though less snowpack. Odd. A fairly substantive expanse of snow in this comparison in 2014, that doesn't show up in the previous one. I guess there could have been a lot of snowfall between Jan 13 and Feb 1.

Only the 'good' veterans count to Republicans.  The night Republicans booed a soldier quote:Hill, wearing a gray “ARMY” T-shirt, then appeared on-screen and told the candidates that he is gay and that he had been forced to lie about his identity when he was deployed to Iraq in 2010 because he didn’t want to lose his job. He then asked if the candidates would “do anything to circumvent the progress that’s been made for gay and lesbian soldiers” now that the “don’t ask, don’t tell, policy has been officially repealed.
