Democracy === mob rule. Wow Chris you really got your definitions mixed up there.

We need to stop saying that most of white folk in this country were radicalized... this country has always been primarily misogynistic and white suprematist. It is a core value that needs to be addressed as such. This is a revolution moment, not a "the GOP manipulated Aunt Mildred" moment.

The embedded racism, misogyny, and white supremacy in US culture is the reason why these votes went where they did. That, and Citizens United. All powered by the oligarchs.

They are honestly a great option for taking up the commercial office space that we've vacated in downtown areas with remote work becoming a big thing. But again, these are small centers and are not in any way comparable to the insanity that the ten-megawatt to gigawatt facilities are.

You know he got it from AI...

First USAID, and now this. I hope more than anything the history books remember Trump and the oligarchs for their actions that killed millions of people.

Don't kill wasps because they're inconveniencing you... First consider your behavior and how it is influencing the interaction, and correct your behavior. /

In the US. They generally very unaggressive, are important components of native ecosystems, both for pest control and as forage for birds and reptiles/amphibians, and many also provide (sometimes exclusive) pollination services for native plants.

Don't kill wasps because they exist. /3

But controlling yellow jackets is pretty easy by managing trash, particularly sweet trash. Use smaller trash receptacles outside and empty them regularly.

EU paper wasps and yellow jackets are responsible for an estimated 90% of humans being stung.

There are thousands of other species of wasps /2

Know your wasps:

Kill European Paper Wasps with impunity. They are invasive and are actively devastating caterpillar populations of our moths and butterflies.

Western Yellow Jackets are native scavengers who are very territorial and don't mix well with humans. Kill when nesting near humans 1/

Or coerced a partner to not terminate a pregnancy they were concerned about "

#birthers

I wonder what the same bodies of folks would answer to the question "have I ever intentionally coerced my partner into having unprotected sex with me, or took actions to undermine existing birth control methods in our partnership."

A home being considered the primary/only method for the poors (speaking to the lower 50%) to have an investment does that class an enormous disservice.. and provides the rich innumerable methods for paying financial games to their benefit. Real estate should not be an investment class.

THAT'S OK, in this country you still get to keep 95% of your wealth and privilege. Probably most of your power too, it just needs to be less public.

It's incredible how people with privilege in power are always "thrust into" expectations of ethical behavior. These f_cks need to start considering how their past effects their future. A misstep can mean that you're done with a public/powerful life. /1

"You should not be able to occupy bike/ped space while operating a vehicle at up to 28mph with e assist."

In general it's super inappropriate to operate in bike/ped zones while traveling 10 mph different speeds without adequate clearance. Even pedal powered bikes often passing too fast.

Ope you're right. I thought class 3 could have a throttle without pedaling due to the max speed so non pedal bikes could have a throttle so long as it capped at the appropriate speed. Nvm.

Regardless, class 3 bikes imo still also fit in the category i mentioned as

The rise of Class 3 electric bikes is problematic; it's dangerous for them to exist in either bike/pedestrian space, and bad in vehicle space... folks need to treat them like the ATVs/dirt bikes they are; cart them to a location and then perform their off-road capabilities in approved spaces.

Honestly, i could give a fuck about humanity; we're responsible for very little of the value and beauty found on this planet.

For GA...i usually add any given token to both GA and 1Password on 2fa setup. Then i get ease of use on phone and computer (since I only allow 1Password to be opened on my phone with my long and annoying 1Password password)

I can actually do this now in Mac land! Password manager handles totp tokens (yes it's less perfect 2fa but seriously :shrug:) and with some recent OSX update i get autocomplete suggestions on the browser form field when an sms text rolls in to Messages.

Just add it to the many reasons to keep your old AF toaster oven with no smart features because even if it is slightly inferior to current models, it's not able to be used as an attack vector to compromise your home security.

The pool of character amongst the rich is .... significantly lacking.

Can't impeach because Congress isn't in session, sheeeeesh what a useless thing Congress has become

We spent billions of dollars, gave lengthy opportunity for Iran, China, and Russia to test on our Air Force capabilities, to then give them the right to make the Straight a toll booth. You can't make this shit up.

All those and no calls for the 25th or the full release of the Epstein Files?

#end47

Which is why, when we oust them, we HAVE to get them, try them, and throw them in a very mediocre unfancy jail that they can't leave for the rest of their lives.

Nothing more American than invading a land and the exclaiming how the invader's pets are in danger from, checking notes, our own agricultural and land use practices.

Also, I keep a few colonies of honey bees and devote most of the yard to native plantings and habitat, so I recognize the nuance here

Polis was sunk a while ago... his increasingly not-so-quiet libertarian views have been leaking out in the most unpleasant way. Looking forward to new leadership coming up.
