I'm tired of hating these people so much. I don't want to be bombarded with justifiable reasons to hate anyone all day every day. I just want them to go away
[bong rip] what if any two people's interior subjective experiences and interpretation of reality are radically different but other parts of our brains condition us to act consistently with each other in a society
These chuds wanted Portlanders to take the bait (black bloc morons getting tv highlights burning things) but instead Portlanders got these chuds to take the bait (look ridiculous acting scared of weirdos in bizarre costumes and in various stages of undress)
I do not want to minimize the fears of my trans friends and acquaintances in this dangerous moment, but fundamentally I remain optimistic that Americans are pretty friendly and tolerant to your aspirations to live happy and prosperous lives. I hope this moment will pass.
Kinda surprising in the new Wason Center poll: Spanberger leads Earle-Sears on who "would do a better job handling....transgender policy” - by 13 points! But only 3% say “transgender policy” is "top of mind" for them, so simply not a big issue. bluevirginia.us/2025/10/new-...
I'm pretty YIMBY but honestly I'd be little annoyed if a dog daycare with an outdoor play area opened up directly next to my home. This is not a quiet line of business! There are externalities there!

More businesses could certainly opt for containerization. And containerization could take other forms (something like the "moving containers" that are dropped off and picked up right now)
Someone's dealing with Uber's vehicle costs, though! If their plan is a revolving door of drivers who are getting a terrible exploitative deal due to their depreciating cars, that really can't last forever
Got it. We'll see how that goes but it facing the same economic pressures, just a decade or two behind. Hydrogen-based processes look competitive now and will be more competitive in the future
I think you're both kind of right, it will be both a challenge and opportunity. Something that's economically viable at 80% capacity factor is going to work extremely well with a future grid. Might see factories that furlough workers for a month every winter or whatever. We'll see
