Oh, yeah, I was agreeing and expanding on what you were saying 👍

Cotton can continue to burn, but wool is generally self extinguishing, too. It’s one of the ways you can identify the fiber composition of unknown cloth (burn test).

You can’t teach kids mnemonics about straight sex anymore, because of woke.

That’s the main problem, you either spend a lot up front or a lot in random, unpredictable intervals.

I’m really fortunate to be able to rely on public transit despite living in LA, because I can’t imagine paying for everything associated with a car on top of rent.

If you mean this about any Christmas, seasonal, 4th of July, Halloween, Easter, etc events… sure. But taking out just the Pride event is targeted.

I think a lot of body language analysis is vibes based BS, but sometimes the vibes sure are vibin’.

Oh, and what about when they hunt down anyone in a car by helicopter and blow them up? What then?

Do you think there’s a major transit stop every half mile in LA? Those are the only residences affected by this. Like, that would be nice if we did have that many, but that’s not the situation here. We’re already a fucking parking lot, we don’t need more parking spaces. We need housing and public transit.

Parking requirements have already been removed for projects located within half a mile of major transit stops under the 2022 state law AB 2097. The new city council proposal could expand that policy to the entire city.

Sounds like this has already been in place for years in select areas without the apocalypse happening.

We need to kill so much car related bullshit here so, so badly. Every time an area gets more pedestrian friendly the NIMBYs shriek about the 12.5 seconds added to their commute in exchange for not living in the middle of a freeway.

If they’re high quality editors who consistently put out a lot of edits then yeah, it is meaningful and insightful. Wikipedia exists because of them and only them. If most feel like they do and stop doing all this maintenance for free, then Wikipedia becomes a graffiti wall/ad space and not an encyclopedia.

Thinking the immediate disgust of the people doing all the work for you for free is meaningless is the best way to nose dive.

Also, you literally had to scroll past a very long and insightful comment to get to that.

Even with transition lenses it’s so, so bright 😩

Something about seeing some of the beautiful blooming jacaranda trees that are everywhere in LA in this picture really got me :(

Go have this fight with someone that wants to have it and didn’t make it clear that kind of behavior isn’t alright. Maybe somewhere other than on a thread about cops threatening to come assault protesters in their homes.

Interesting that a Californian making a callous comment about living in hurricane country is somehow equivalent to the conservative media industry absolutely cheering bloodshed any time natural disasters strike us. 🙄 If California celebrated like this any time, much less every time, a natural disaster hit somewhere else it would have its own dedicated conservative channel playing it on loop.

I’ve lived through multiple hurricanes because I haven’t always lived in California. People from everywhere say that stupid shit about hurricane prone areas. Take the chip off your shoulder.

Conservatives are unironically like this. They cheer when we have earthquakes and fires.

Unironically, cows are great indicators of what’s normal in fields and pastures. They’re up over there investigating ICE because they’ve never seen them or their vehicles before.

During WWII there are stories of both sides having issues in rural France because milk cows would come up to their hiding spots, crying to be milked (going unmilked is painful for dairy cows).
