Why should any of that matter for making transport better in cities where none of this applies

Yes but that’s a different argument again. The post said cities and the response was about rural areas

This post is talking exclusively about cities, I’m not sure why this argument about rural areas comes up so often when it’s not relevant.

Aren’t the figures on the package meant to be net weight though?

That’s why they’re so hung up on race / gender / sexuality: those things are caste markers to them, and determine the right and proper role for people in their eyes. If someone steps out of their pre-ordained caste, that’s violating the hierarchy and eroding the rules that keep society ordered-therefore-safe, and therefore inherently immoral to them.

You’ve nailed it. Also, if people start to realise these labels aren’t as fixed they may naturally extend those conclusions to other arbitrary markers - like class and wealth.

Pretty crazy to think they got broken up in the late 90s/early 2000s for simply including IE in a fresh Windows install (im probably over simplifying but still). Yet these days they’re pulling this kind of shit

Sorry, just go farming and build your own house? Do you think those things don’t have significant upfront costs that would be a barrier to people in precarious conditions?

This is not a serious argument, it’s completely detached from the actual barriers people face in reality

The people in this picture worked too, then the system collapsed due to rampant financial speculation and they were made destitute. Along with hundreds and thousands of others. People literally starved to death during this time.

If your response to the idea that perhaps things could be better for the people who work and contribute labour for your stuff is “well if you don’t like it, go live in the wilderness”, you suck.

Wow you suck

The reddit api blocking 3rd party apps pushed a whole bunch of people onto lemmy, and lemmy is very big on FOSS and Linux so it’s been a gateway of sorts

It’s not clear from the way the article quotes him exactly what he said should be “ripped out completely”. You seem to be interpreting it as “all city roads should be ripped out completely”.

I suspect he’s saying we could rip out many city roads, completely turning them into green spaces and with forms of more active transport. I don’t think this is saying remove all roads to the extent goods vehicles can’t enter.

I feel this will just breed resentmint

Is this guy not public domain yet, I thought that was coming up. Maybe next year? John Oliver did a whole bit on it

Oh yeah that’d do it

Anyone know why the article says on a scale unseen since the First World War? I would have assumed since the second world war given the scale of that conflict. Did WW1 have more amputees than ww2?

This could’ve been a Frank Gallagher rant. I love it

So why do they want people’s iris scans? Like they say it’s an easy way to verify someone signing up is a real person but is there some other nefarious reason I’m missing here?
