My first thought was this would be declared unconstitutional or otherwise illegal in America. Awesome for them!

What you didn’t know is that the universe is mostly ducks. Dark matter? More like duck matter!

I’ve noticed the same in conversations. When I talk about socialist theory, people agree 100%, but as soon as you say a buzz word it’s, “Now I don’t want full socialism!”

Oh wow. I hate them with a passion haha

probably not (I’m not a super serious rider). Brakes are cheap. But could you also get a pannier or bike bag and put a jacket in it for later?

Oh yeah, and giving each person their own ringtone

Now there’s some 'member berries

Maybe cross post to !workreform@lemmy.world

It’s funny because they’re a cat now.

fuck

I really hate it. It’s a really obscure rule more about interstate commerce being used to say that people in Houston MUST be allowed to buy up property they aren’t living at in a city they dont live in and use for STR.

It’s just another profits over people and government being used to keep cities fromanaging themselves the way they want. While it makes sense to protect business, housing seems like an overreach to me.

Places all over the world can restrict Stars, but not here. I wonder if we can tax the shit out of it to make it unprofitable unless you apply for an exemption you can do if you live there for 6 months, but that’s probably discrimination too.

share this with workreform. they’ll love it. I would link but forgot how

Oh the urbanity! Also did a piece on this https://youtu.be/o5PieqjOuzA

The red X is over the horse, but how do I know the horse isn’t a Muslim woman? Horses could have their own practice and it isn’t reasonable to assume they would do as humans do.

One thing I either missed or wasn’t stated is the daily cost of ownership. If you purchased on a loan, you have a monthly fee, which can be a daily fee. Then you have insurance and maintenance, but no one knows how much maintenance is, so we typically underestimate it. And even if your vehicle is paid off, you still have that flat cost, which you could compute to a daily rate for the current lifetime of ownership.

For example, I had a car in the US that I paid $25k for after taxes and bogus upsells that I didn’t need. Then I had insurance, which was expensive where I lived. My monthly cost just to own it was ~$600/month for the note and insurance, not even including gas.

So, your trip calculation then becomes the daily rate / # of trips, then you add on the other fees, so for a two leg trip, each leg would cost me $20 for that day plus maintenance, gas, parking.

And that doesn’t account for how much parking raises costs elsewhere, as noted in the book, The High Cost of Free Parking by Donald Shoup: https://www.amazon.com/High-Cost-Free-Parking-Updated/dp/193236496X

I’m a fan of Gus’s fried chicken. Their prices are still very reasonable for Austin. I think you can still get a plate for $11

I like Mega Braunfels. Makes me think of a Mega Bratwurst

this is also not really a normal thing to do, but I tried trimming my armpit hair and had a huge reduction in sweat marks and BO immediately

I’ve mainly just seen in on the lemmygrad instance when I go to all. I find the content over there to be a bit silly (even as a socialist). I think you can block instances? I’ve blocked some of the more trolling/low effort communities.

But I also see it in the other direction. I’ve seen people ask open ended questions about the USSR and CCP for something they may have done well and people will downvote and “what-about-ism” for other stuff that isn’t/wasn’t so good, but is also off topic for what was asked.

There’s not a lot of effective discourse around the topic, I think. The conversation seems to be either entirely positive or negative for everything about them, even when the post is about one thing in particular. We can’t really say, “This thing was done well” without the what-about-isms, nor can we say “This other thing was not done well” without it applying to everything.

But to come back to your question, as you worded it “support for…”, that seems to be in line with the conversations here. It’s either “support” or “against” and not a whole lot of analysis. As in, if you say something positive then you support everything. Obviously, that shouldn’t be the case, but that does seem to be the narrative here.
