Yeah I have no idea why they don't do this already??

A lot of what we refer to as "woo" is barely disguised European folk remedies and/or Aristotelian medicine. Hardly universal or objective, but hardly challenging Euro supremacy either.

They only need like a 10 ft track extension and are working on it. But yeah mostly a scheduling, not an infra issue:

Let's not forget that in white collar work everyone important had a secretary you could outsource your executive function to.

UC loves to punch down.

In this day and age it's probably more of a liability than a benefit, unless you are applying for an MFA or something like that which really emphasizes authenticity.

I think a personal history statement is a rebranded diversity statement.

Sure, but rent + transportation costs can pencil out to be higher living in a suburb than car-free in a city.

Emergency car repairs can also end up costing more than rent if you're low income (and have cheap-ish rents + old car). Rare but non-trivial occurrence.

CA's peak transit tract is also the highest density tract in this list. Part of Westlake, the densest neighborhood in LA after K-Town, it is largely Latino with an abundance of street vendors. Only a 5-min train ride from DTLA, its interminable poverty shows the paltry appeal of LA's historic core

I've seen vegetarian cookbooks from the 70's and 80's. That stuff is ass.

I think we've already made huge progress on this compared to the 90's (when being vegetarian meant eating only potatoes in a lot of places). Question is if this trajectory can continue with right-wing outrage politics.

Afik a lot of the issue with meat is the land use, with land used for meat preventing afforestation or shifting land to carbon negative uses - not sure how that fits into the calculations. Even if we, say, completely decarbonize fertilizers that's still an issue.

Do you have a quantitative sense of how much meat reduction would be needed? Like is everyone eats meat only one meal a day sufficient? 20% of the US goes vegan? Or is it more dramatic than that? Bc these options would not require radical cultural/political change imo

its the same violence visited upon women with buzzed hair, men who want to paint their nails, women who want an abortion, men who have never cared for sports, women who value education and career over family. same violence, different form

Growth Ponzi scheme in action!
