Suppose you're a gay Palestinian. Who do you think is more likely to kill you: Hamas or the IDF?

I thought (gas) motor racing was banned in Switzerland? Doesn't apply to karts I guess?

Well, the article's thesis is more that transportation/traffic engineers don't care. DoTs are set up to get grants and spend money, with a focus on throughput. Very little thought is put into safety, and most "safety" best practices are confusing, outdated, or poorly thought out.

We demand to pass out one cheese sandwich for every ten year-old we napalm. And if you don't do that, we will back down immediately!

I'd rather have a president who's anti-genocide, so I'll be voting for one of the anti-genocide candidates.

You're okay with voting for genocide. I'm not.

[-] regul@lemm.ee 3 points 3 weeks ago

I won't vote for anyone who's pro-genocide. You're clearly okay with voting for genocide, but I'm not.

[-] regul@lemm.ee 4 points 3 weeks ago

I'll vote for someone who is vocally and demonstrably anti-genocide. If that's neither of the main parties' candidates that's their problem.

I will not vote for genocide.

Has voting for the "lesser" evil ever worked either?

[-] regul@lemm.ee 17 points 3 weeks ago

I won't be voting for either of the two parties' candidates as long as they remain pro-genocide.

If they want my vote they're more than welcome to come out with a strong stance against genocide.

Pretty low bar. If neither candidate is willing to meet it I can only assume they do not want my vote.

If they don't want my vote they either don't think they need it or they're more committed to genocide than winning the election.

It's their call.

If he only started thinking Musk was a dipshit asshole during Covid, then he wasn't paying attention.

I honestly thought it was going to be Adams, but I definitely knew it wasn't going to happen.

Some great displays of carbrain in this article.

DeSeta also likened one of the groups advocating for the open street, Transportation Alternatives, to the National Rifle Association.

“TA is a multi-million-dollar not-for-profit lobbying organization. And you know what non-profit lobbyists could be? NRA is a not-for-profit, so, ya know, not-for-profit is a loosey-goosey term,” she said.

...

Like DeSeta, Herb Alter, who lives at 103rd Street and West End Avenue, objected, as many opponents typically do, to the "process" by which decisions were made when he was otherwise engaged. During the pandemic, he said, he and his ill wife decamped to their East Hampton second home — and the first he had heard about the open street was at the local dog run upon his return to the city last year.

Basically, a bunch of 70 year-old rich white people who live in a neighborhood where 73% of people do not own cars are trying to get rid of some intense traffic calming the city did during Covid because they lost 13 parking spaces.

It boggles the mind that there are people who live in Manhattan and choose to own cars without a dedicated place to keep them.
