Really reminds me of that Ted talk about creating walkable communities as an alternate to "places not worth caring about (see above)"

If you haven't seen it, it actually owns:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1ZeXnmDZMQ

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.

With Shell in the arctic, all it takes is a day or two to make a huge difference:

Yeah, Shell has been a shitshow up here, they think that their North Sea experience will translate to the Chukchi Sea and it won't. To be fair though no one else really has the experience either, except maybe Gazprom.

Still not seeing the tragic human cost that can be attributed to environmental activism. Sure some of them are crazy, but even the most extreme cases--sabotage of pipelines, for example--seem to stem from major players doing real and tangible harm to the well being of the activists and/or those they sympathise with.




Everyone knows the CLIT isn't a real group, it's just an unorganized offshoot of the Liberating Apes Before Imprisoning Apes movement. :colbert:

Yes and no. Yes in that as King of Vatican City he is automatically a citizen and can of course issue himself a passport, but no he isn't required to.

I never even thought about the implications of cold war in their little fantasy scenario. Stalin, apparently, was a templar puppet used to discredit communism, I think?

No Stalin actually wasn't affiliated with either side, he was just crazy Uncle Joe.

That's why it'll always be a dumb gimmick to people who know anything about guns.



Until we can repeal the second amendment, making guns hard to impossible to be used is a worthy goal.

I think that has more to do with some gun-unfriendly places trying to make untried/unuseful/unworkable tech mandatory for all firearms.

There are people advocating smart gun tech be mandatory right now even though it's crap.

Also a lot of people are also fed up with the gun restriction stuff too. We were told that there would be rivers of blood in the streets when the assault weapons ban went out of effect. Instead, infuriatingly I know, the opposite has been happening.



Only half the number of innocent people dying compared to twenty years ago is not an argument for continuing to make guns so freely available. Look I know you have a tiny dick, but can't you channel that rage into something productive?

The fact that current American government still exists is probably the most damning indictment of liberalism. Almost one year ago more than half a million people from all 50 states and the territories marched on Washington and instead of simply marching into Congress/SCOTUS/the White House and kicking the current government out, they just "protested" for a return to the status quo and all that energy was essentially wasted.

That 12th district just connecting what appears to be 3-5 denser black areas (which are probably a few blocks of specific cities). By doing this instead of having these populations voting in different neighboring districts like 5,6,8 and 9, they prevent tipping the scales there. Basically by collectively pooling all the black people into one district they are only giving them that one district instead of many more. Gerrymandering!



MMPR is the only way to go. I keep pushing to make it part of the county platform, but I think people just can't quite wrap their heads around it.

I can't believe this is a real concept. I mean that there are actual printed cards and even an honest-to-god badge! That's despicable and by the way so are you.
Speed limits are the law. They're a science. They save lives. "Traps" are inspections to ensure that the law is not being broken.



These were not speed traps, these were civil asset forfeiture traps back when they were just starting back in the mid to late 90's. In fact it got so bad that one town I used to get pulled over all the time in was involuntarily disincorporated by the Florida state legislature.
