Well surely you can agree that letting men into women’s change rooms
If the idea is that that’s a no-no because men are sexually attracted to women, then I must remind you that gay people exist.
If the idea is that men cannot be trusted, then there are many other spaces where men have power that should be examined first.
Skyrim. It was at best “fine” for me. I really dislike level scaling. The combat felt unsatisfying. I don’t remember the story. It’s not weird like Morrowind. The magic and enchanting was over-simplified.
But for many people it’s their grand joy. So I guess that’s good for them.
Did not expect caves of qud to be on anyone’s list, as I thought it was pretty niche.
I also really wanted to like the game, but it felt oddly empty. I wanted less lost in the wilderness, less static quests, more dynamic stuff to do and explore.
I have much respect for “it’s not fun for me” and less patience for “it’s bad”. Totally understand why you might not find the games fun.
I remember playing it at a friend’s house and thinking “quake is better”, but the four player local play on one game and TV was an overwhelming factor.
Obviously tastes differ. I thoroughly enjoyed it and felt it deserved the praise.
Democrats aren’t especially left, so I’m not sure you can really look at states controlled by the democratic party as a fair comparison. The US doesn’t have much of a left. Many democrats are conservative, especially when its things close to home (eg: nimbyism, “i like black people i just don’t want to live next to one”, etc).
We have outliers like Mayor Mamdani who want to build more housing, but he’s notably a DSA member. He does have policies for housing which are more effective than “fewer regulations and the market will solve it”.
As such, if the argument is “Conservative controlled areas have fewer regulations, and thus more housing gets built”, that’s a very tenuous argument. The right wing ideology at play isn’t “We should build more housing” but rather the usual “No one tells me what to do” attitude endemic to right wing thinking.
Furthermore, conservative areas tend to be sparser, which makes for more room to build, with fewer restrictions New York City is already dense. Adding more stuff is going to be more difficult and complicated than adding another building to Tumbleweeds, AR.
Lastly, if you did somehow prove that “conservative solutions to the housing crisis are good, actually, and aren’t just deregulation and capitalist market solutions”, I guess I would have to update my statement to “Almost all right wing ideas are bad”. But as I’m not convinced this is the exception, I stand by my original claim.
Building housing isn’t a right wing idea.
“Public space in Paris is chaos,” right-winger Rachida Dati said recently
No right winger is worth listening to. I know nothing about Dati, but I am confident they are full of bad ideas.
Dati’s proposals for the city include making it cheaper to park and getting rid of the low-emission zone in the city centre.
As foretold.
Every right wing idea is bad, and people proposing them should at best be laughed out of the room.
The problem is capitalism. Specifically, the consolidation of power in a small number of decision makers.
Break up the big companies. Stop letting them do mergers and acquisitions. You don’t even have to do something radical like dismantling capitalism entirely.
Fare changes usually are slower to change than gas prices for customers at the gas station. Bus fare in NYC is $3, and they can’t just change that day by day. (Unless our new mayor makes the buses free to ride!)
It might be more expensive as energy costs go up, but services aren’t supposed to be run at a profit. The value in a mass transit system is very high.
But there is probably an impact. Now I’m curious about how they decide the fares
NYC. $0. Walk and take transit. Sorry, I’m insufferable about this but it’s really nice.
Bad idea. Fertile ground for abuse, intentional or otherwise. As others have said, it’s hubris to think one or two untrained adults can do professional grade teaching.
I like the idea. I don’t want to use facebook or similar, but that’s where stuff like “BuyNothing” is most active.
Unfortunately, I don’t know much about self hosting (beyond what I’ve picked up working in software development) so I don’t see myself running one of these myself. I’d probably use it if it came to my neck of the woods (NYC)
Kind of an anti-intellectual meme, honestly. After like 9th grade reading level, one can learn that it’s not about finding the meaning in the text. It’s about finding a meaning and supporting it.
It doesn’t really matter that much what the author meant. What matters what’s actually in the text.
Most developers I’ve looked at would happily just paste the curl|bash thing into the terminal.
I often would skim the script in the browser, but a. This post shows that’s not fool proof and b. a sufficiently sophisticated malicious script would fool a casual read
I’m pretty sure conservatives axiomatically have a problem with women. That’s part of conservatism.
Maybe they could focus on delivering quality products that customers want, instead of investing all their time and effort into expensive AI widgets people don’t.
