  • I hope this isn’t one of those instances where I 90% agree with you, but you’re gonna be angry with me over the 10% difference.

    Aren’t parking spaces smaller in Europe than the US? There is value is having smaller cars.

    To go farther into the 10%, there’s a lot of rural America that needs cars. It’s not practical to lay track literally everywhere. And Park n’ Rides are much, much more tolerable if the demand and use for them is much smaller. I don’t expect places like nowhere Ohio to give up their cars. I just want all towns to be more walkable, and I want the biggest transformation to be in the cities.

    While I understand that, I’m in America. My first priority has to be getting people off of Twitter.

    Would I prefer open source, non-profit software? 100%. It’s the smarter and better choice for so many reasons.

    But if Bluesky is going to gain critical mass, I’m not going to fight it. I’m having a hard enough time getting people off Twitter. I’ve written the media address of environments I’m familiar with asking them to organize a move, and I mentioned both Bluesky and Mastodon.

    I get his point, even if he didn’t state it eloquently. There are photography elements here that look kind of cool. Yeah, most people will focus on memories of history and, you know, how Nazis are fucking bad. But the danger is if something like this recruits anyone. Some people fall for anything with a cool font, even if it tarnishes the font for a lot of others. If I see a swastika, I want to see it carved into a Nazi’s forehead. I don’t want to see a stylized swastika with cool lighting effects that might appeal to a small number of idiots.

    It helps that Elon’s face looks particularly stupid.

    I don’t know that I agree with his argument, but I can see a grain of truth in it.
