Delivering a couch from a warehouse in NJ to an apartment in Queens via bike sounds challenging.

I'm glad most food delivery here is by bike and not car, though.

This is probably better than my proposal of a big plow on the front of the bus that just destroys the blocking car.

The other day I saw a whole intersection (in NYC) blocked up because some asshole was double parked, which blocked the bus, which blocked me on a bike and all the car traffic from proceeding through the intersection.

But people in this community seem to believe that cars simply shouldn’t exist.

I don't think most people genuinely believe cars should exist for no one. I think some posts here are hyperbolic, like when you say "I'm going to kill my brother for stealing my Pokemon cards", you don't really mean it. It's an emotional outlet.

Most people I've seen recognize that lowering car usage makes it easier for when you do need to drive (for accessibility or moving or whatever, not so much for fun)

I don't go for making fun of people's imagined dicks or sexual performance. Seems immature and bundled with problematic paradigms.

People can have fun with cars, true. People can have fun with anything. The problem is cars are everywhere and not limited to fun places. like if people had a "cover yourself in honey" fetish and just went everywhere covered in honey, demanded honey dispensers everywhere, got everything sticky, and started wars over honeybees. I don't care how much fun they're having , they're making everything worse for everyone else.

Bugmenot sometimes has LinkedIn credentials https://bugmenot.com/view/linkedin.com

Don't click any of the scam ones though

I'm told one time in my sleep I sat up, looked down the hall, and said "You can't see it from here but it can see you.". Then laid down again and went quiet. My partner at the time was not amused

I play guild wars 2 pvp sometimes. Gosh, people are so whiney sometimes. Like the first couple minutes go bad and they're like "GG" and just idle in the spawn room.

I still think targeted ads should be illegal. I would accept static ads that are based on the content of the site rather than me as a compromise.

So like if I'm looking at example.com/cool-bikes you can show me bike ads. You don't need to know who I am or track me.

It's good enough for the past few decades (centuries?) it's good enough for now. The Superbowl doesn't serve a different ad to every viewer.

I mean... If I was playing like The Sims and one of the Sims was like "yo can I get a new bike?" I might be like sure bro. From their perspective I'm a god that exists outside time and space.

That's not really how Christianity talks about its God though, usually. But also like the story of Job does seem like a kid and his friend fucking with their game.

I'm pretty sure that simply putting a picture of eyes in the scene reduces theft. People are emotional creatures , and if they feel like they're being watched by someone who doesn't approve of stealing, they're more likely to refrain.

As a result of this article, I learned the Faircloth Amendment exists, and seems like anti-social madness.

I thought about editing that article to reference Musk and this thing, but it would probably be reverted.

 

I tried it a bit with my reaper in pve and it seemed okay, but I wasn't doing anything challenging that really put it to the test. I haven't tried the others classes yet.

 

I'm looking for players for a weekly game of Fate. I'm thinking something like a mix of Shadowrun and World of Darkness, where the players are vigilantes looking to make the world better. It would start (and maybe stay) at the street level, rather than global or cosmic.

I've been playing and running games for 20+ years.

LGBT friendly. New players okay. Unreliable players less so.

Message me if you're interested. Include a blurb about yourself, your experience with games, with fate specifically, and a joke of your choosing.

 

Like I saw one that was titled "I wonder why rule" and had a picture about overpaid CEOs or something.

Why "rule"? What's the origin of this format?
