I like the idea of a weekly megathread type thing.
I agree that the daily threads don't seem well suited to the number of people on here. One of the good things about here is that conversations can carry on across multiple days, unlike reddit was where stuff got buried very quickly.
But having a daily thing sorta sends the message that that thread is done after that day. Sometimes I'll read something from an old daily and think of replying, but then think "nah its moved on" because of this.
Lucky for him, this has been overtaken by the story about not reigning in Seymour for attacking the media and academics for being big meanies about him.
Honestly it's just utter non stop chaos right now.
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.
8,000 more smoking deaths, 13,000 more children in poverty, massive cuts to public services looming.
Remember this, every terrible thing this government is doing is all to smash and grab enormous amounts of public money, that could be spent on services for everyone, and give it to landlords.
Nothing but sheer economic vandalism and greed from this government.
Aren't the figures on the package meant to be net weight though?
It was a huge project, and they arent linear. The spend isn't exactly proportional to the length of track.
That said, some of those costs definitely seem to be to route alterations and the decision to underground big parts of it to placate car drivers. They should've just got on with the original surface level plans and a new govt would've been faced with it partially built and would've made it far harder to just cancel.
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
And the settings ever since windows 10, like the main interface is the slick new style but it doesn't provide all settings info, so it ends up back into the old layout/control panel that traces back to windows 95 (but is still better). It's all just a mess as far as ui goes.
I switched to Linux again for my home laptop last year and pretty much use it full time. The only major sticking point for me is ms office - libreoffice feels like office 2003 and you can never be confident a libreoffice docx is going to look the same when someone opens what you've sent them in ms office.
Plus when I troubleshoot in Linux I can use the terminal and feel like a real hackerman™ (even if I am mostly just copying stuff off Google).
