You are correct, this list is suggesting the casual is the problem. Eg, "oh my gosh, I'm soooo OCD about my Starbucks order".
It's definitely not, the braves have faced criticism over their name and iconography for a long time
And your experience is reflective of all folks who have OCD? I can absolutely imagine someone being pretty upset by seeing how casually "oh I'm just OCD" gets tossed around. I'm queer, I would never presume to say that…
It's often used in a wild west sorta way, "we were surrounded by braves". It's super outdated, for sure, as are most words that mean "my enemy's warriors".
I don't read it as conflating, they just say these are all harmful, not that they are equally harmful. A hangnail is harmful and a car crash is harmful, I try to avoid both. I'm less put out by a hangnail and I go to…
It's not an addition. It's a totally separate building with four rental units.
Did your parents build 2 additional units in a building detached from their house and charge rent, including to people who weren't you from day 1? If so, then yes. (Assuming it didn't fall under accessory dwelling unit…
She wants to build 4 rental units on a lot in downtown. That's an apartment building. Why should an apartment building with 4 units be exempt from offering affordable housing? She will not be occupying those four units.…
This policy is good, and this isn't even an edge case. This is a landlord who is about to spend a million dollars on more rental units and doesn't want to provide affordable units.
Yeah, why should we do any planning or zoning at all! Every individual is equipped with all the knowledge and expertise to make good planning decisions that impact their neighborhoods! /s
Or make the units that she's renting to her kids at affordable prices stay affordable units for 75 years. That seems eminently reasonable. "Landlord plans $1m expansion of non affordable housing to help their family…
A landlord in Seattle wants to spend $1m to build apartments, discount them for her children but not be on the hook to extend that discount to meet local building regs around affordable housing. If you are building big…
There is tons and tons of evidence that Musk is moderating capriciously at this point.
Because if they don't they have 60 days before they get deported.
The policy says comments like, "follow me @ on Instagram" are explicitly forbidden. One could very easily argue linking to ones own Facebook post could fall afoul.
There's no defense of this policy. (It's his platform, he's free to do what he wants within the bounds of the law, of course, it's just a stupid policy and antithetical to free speech.)
It, unfortunately, regularly hits the front page.
It's Quillette, a right wing propaganda outlet. They write articles to serve their narrative first, then true to bend facts to that narrative. I'm always surprised when it shows up on HN, because usually the crowd here…
I've met those types of anarchists. They get nothing done in the name of ideological purity. They'll still be getting nothing done two centuries from now. I think incrementalism is a dead end too - at some point we need…
In the United States it is absolutely true. Read up on CAFOs, where cows stand on hills of manure with no plants in sight. Pigs are truly awful: https://theintercept.com/2017/10/05/factory-farms-fbi-missin... I have…
Heck yeah. I might disagree with my communists friends, but we're closer together than we are far apart.
Go re read my posts. I think we should not have the federal or state governments. But we do have them. So using them as a tool, until we can replace them with something better, is fine. And indeed, most anarchists are…
This is not, by any stretch, what modern anarchists would use as a definition. Try instead, "a society free from unjust hierarchies". Most anarchists are comfortable with the idea of democracy, elections, and delegation…
Market socialism and market communism exist. I think they are bad ideologies, but they exist. Don't confuse ideals with immediate needs. My ideals, and what I'm willing to do today in the name of harm reduction aren't…
Sounds like you don't know many anarchists? Most of the anarchists I know are focused on: Building mutual aid networks locally, first and foremost. We help us, we protect us. Think food, clothing, and shelter for anyone…
