This dude fucking PLED GUILTY to underage sexual abuse and no one is stopping him from being around children in an impoverished country. My god I hate this world.
Like one guy prioritizes housing the homeless and transportation, but the plans are vague. Whereas another guy has very specific transportation goals, and that's it. And maybe another guy wants to create more affordable housing and healthcare, but also wants to give a bajillion more dollars to cops. Perfection is the killer of all joy and all that, but this is shit is annoying.

> If the easement is extinguished and the plan goes through, Westside could create more than 3,000 homes in Northeast Park Hill, 75% of which will be market rate, and the rest will be income-restricted. The area would boast the fourth largest park in the metro area, and the developer would fund that. Buildings could be between four and 12 stories high, depending on their location on the site. > If this measure does not pass, it’s possible that Westside would sit on the land, and it would remain vacant as it has since 2018. The company could also run a golf course on the site, essentially making the land inaccessible to all but fee-paying golfers. Keyword is here "could" create more than 3000 homes. But the article states > This second part of the measure doesn’t actually do much. It’s basically a way for the architects of this measure to communicate to the public what Westside plans to do. There is nothing for voters to allow, beyond the city extinguishing the easement. Looks like another case of capitalists trying to use progressive language to trick the public. There's no clause in the vote that mandates the developer build anything. Also, the city and developers are saying the land must be primarily used for golf if the contract is preserved, but the opponents say it's a lie and it can be used for anything as long as it sticks to the "open space" principles of the contract

I’ve always found people who freak out about AI sentience extremely pathetic. Just absolute baboons who get impressed by mundane shit. I first came across it with the whole “roko’s basilisk” shit and immediately dismissed them as morons, and many years later I’m still validated

Most of the hype came from youtubers who kept speculating on it for like a decade
Most bizarre shit ever. I don’t think I’ve ever listened to a homily from this guy where I didn’t come out like :jesse-wtf: at the end He said that Jesus being hungry could be seen as the devil trying to tempt him with the sins of gluttony, sloth, and lust because Jesus is thinking about his needs and want to eat He then said “sometimes we’re compelled to eat otherwise we become hungry or get sick, and we think we know everything about ourselves which is pride.” He then equated being starving and eating to going on social media and wanting to be popular
The biggest drawback is that you have to rely that the manufacturer is ethical and isn't loading your shit with bloatware/spyware, which, lol. I suppose one benefit is that, theoretically, they can spend more time and resources on designing a laptop instead of licenses for windows, but I remember reading somewhere that Microsoft eats up market share by providing their OS for free for PC manufacturers. Is that still true? I'm not currently looking for one, but I am curious about them. For my use case, it would be mostly light programming, web browsing, movies and videos, photo editing, and light gaming. Doesn't make sense for me to shell out $1000 for some spyware linux junk when I could just buy some used 2015 windows laptop and install a distro on it
It’s never celebrated/observed on the same day unlike your birthday or Jesus’ birthday (I know it’s not really the 25th of December, but it’s always celebrated in the 25th). People are just mourning Jesus’ death on a random day just because it’s Friday lol

“I started to realize, this was never a game I could win,” the participant, who took a leave of absence from work to film the show, said. “I’m not a contestant, I’m an extra.”
They applied for the show themselves after receiving a targeted ad on Instagram, while other cast members included a TikTok star, a set of twins, a father-child pair, and others who had been directly contacted by production.
These are literally scenes from Squid Game

Mao contended that Deng Xiaoping was a capitalist roader and that the Soviet Union fell to capitalist roaders from within the Communist Party of the Soviet Union after the death of Joseph Stalin in 1953.
Well, he wasn’t entirely wrong. But if Khrushchev was a roader, then what does that make Mao? Out of the two, Mao’s china was supporting fascist, genocidal forces across the globe while the USSR was still backing communist forces.

Now im wondering how many spare parts I’ve bought were actually stolen and chopped :cowboy-cri:
Walked outside to see a fucker trying to jiggle my door and ran off when I confronted him. Shits worth $300 and has different color doors. Who’s chopping this shit up? They gotta be selling it to developing countries where they’re worth more. I suppose that’s why beat up cars are more valuable than high end ones because it’s more affordable overseas

Breaking Bad came out in the late 2000s and this was a time when being "politically incorrect" was epic - and by politically incorrect I mean just punching down and being hateful. Slurs for disabled people were used without any meaningful pushback, and at least in my experience, kids were happily reciting lines from South Park and Family Guy at school and mocking kids from SpEd classes. These things still obviously happen today, but now there seems to be more criticism of when it happens and even the "anti pc" crowd will hesitantly shut up if called out. Anyway, Walt Jr. has cerebral palsy, but unlike much of the media of the time, he isn't the butt of the joke (aside from that one scene in the store but the bully got his ass kicked) or made cynically by someone who doesn't care or know anything about the disability to get a cheap emotional response from audience. Obviously he doesn't have an identical life to someone who is fully able bodied, but overall he's just a kid with his own angst and goals who just happens to be different. Sometimes he needs assistance, sometimes he doesn't. Sometimes his parents struggle to relate and help him (both for his disability and puberty in general) and that's just life, especially for a lower income family that doesn't have access to all the resources or free time to discuss problems. I'm not surprised that they made :dean-malice: racist because he's a DEA agent, but rewatching it I'm surprised they didn't make Walt Jr. a caricature because most people wouldn't have bat an eye.
Maybe it’s because I literally do not give a shit about the company or it’s products or customers. I just want money. In fact, I want the opposite kind of imposter syndrome, where I trick the people hiring me into thinking I’m much more qualified than I actually am get paid a shit ton more money. Yes I know C++, Pascal, Assembly, COBOL. Please pay me $500k.

Currently taking psychology for gen ed requirements and it’s like 90% girls (judging from the portal pronouns), and next semester and forward my only classes (for now) will be engineering. The upside of STEM classes is that everyone is awkward and usually keep to themselves, but I imagine women in these classes know this and don’t want a bunch of weirdos approaching them. But anyway, I’d like to accomplish... something. Anything really. I’ve only had few relationships back in high school and they only lasted a few months (usually because people transfer each year). And pretty much all of those times the girls were the one approaching me. But, this is real life and I’m expected to make the first move. I’m fine with that in theory, but I just don’t want to come off as weird or desperate and I don’t really have any precedents to judge my behavior on. And truthfully, I am terrified of women around my age. I can converse with women like 5+ years older than me, but any girls 3 years older or younger than me I usually hit a brick wall. I’ve had female friends before and never had problems with talking to them since I didn’t have any feelings for them, but everyone in college is just so good looking and experienced I feel like I’m out of their leagues.
