Yes, we currently have something similar although it’s less comprehensive. That’s what the article is about.

Your logic seems sound.

Keep an eye on the Seattle election. If the progressive wins the race there will be a lot of gearing up for a huge influx of people. The people are expected either way but the progressive want to do something to house them and the conservatives want it all to be a surprise.

My family is interested in going international however.

And the Dark Side.

It’s the same mindset and response as is directed at regressive states. Now I’m not saying I don’t agree with the sentiment, but even places like Florida and Texas have literally millions of people that continue to try to do their part too.

Still no updoot for the bad take but like I get it.

Okay so hear me out, public, neighborhood car parks but also a network of car free streets.

Like my neighborhood is surrounded by arterials, what if you had a car park that was free like within 5 blocks. Is it a waste of space that could be used for housing? Yes. But it also moves cars to the periphery and opens up like 25 blocks to be car free neighborhood streets where people can walk, children can play and we have less noise pollution and can easily build community.

We can designate areas of on street parking for disabled people and allow services into the neighborhood but we could limit the entrances and have more clutter and places to sit and vibe instead of having to maintain vigilance.

I heard about Notebook LM recently. I couldn’t tell you what it’s trained on but I’m order to use the LLM you need to provide it source material.

So say you’re writing something for school. You can gather 50+ papers on the subject you’re trying to write about, upload them, then ask the LLM about what you uploaded. Sounds like turning research from a search for info to an interview with an “expert.”

Again I can’t speak to how it was trained in the background but this seems genuinely useful.

I’d like to wait and see what happens at the trial before declaring him innocent or guilty. Just like any conspiracy theory in the past there are plenty of reasons to believe he is innocent. It does seem that he is probably the person but what I’ve seen and read hasn’t convinced me beyond a shadow.

The liars in charge of our government keep saying this is the guy, and we should kill him. I find that super suss.

It’s not weird that I’m waiting for more info before forming an opinion.

It is much more weird that you’re taking the word of police at face value. If you want to kill him so badly, prove it.

Fortunately this is not how criminal courts work. Or at least not how they’re supposed to. You don’t have to prove your innocence, they have to prove that you are guilty.

If you think he put holes in that CEO, prove it.

Things have felt stable but I just looked at USD vs EUR last night and were back down to pandemic dollar strength. The fall is precipitous.

It feels so pedantic at this point but these shit gibbons look like they bought vests and plate carriers on Amazon and now get to RP as cops. And for some reason this is allowed? This makes the federal government look like a bunch of kids just attacking people indiscriminately.

Wait it’s not supposed to be two people with 1 apple each and me with 4?

Looks like it is not a lie. I went and checked for other sources because of your Wikipedia link.

I will check it out! Any other advice? My family needs out.

Fun fact, Alex said in an interview that this is a picture of him having a panic attack. Just shaking and desperately trying to keep calm as adrenaline pours through his system.

Let’s celebrate Canada’s mountain West too! I guess I’m not saying this is unique to the US just that it is something that is genuinely worth celebrating. That’s actually the question you were asking, what is genuinely good.

There’s a lot of bad to focus on. The Rocky Mountains are both gorgeous and worth protecting and the ancestral home of native people that our ancestors murdered in order to claim.

And yet, I think it’s cool to actively look for good things, not as a distraction but to try to understand what we want to have more of and what makes something special. Especially with the US feeling unsafe and unstable.

Legitimately, the Mountain West. I am super biased because I grew up in Colorado but I think the Mountain West is something in America that should be truly celebrated. The small mountain towns are incredible. You get roughly 6,000-10,000 people together living in a valley and they decide they want bike paths and rec centers and decent bus service. The towns are small and walkable and there is a lot less sprawl. Property lines might be defined but people are more lax about things and walking past someone’s house to get to a trail isn’t a terrifying adventure in will they shoot me or not? And then the outdoor space. Everywhere I lived outside of Denver I could walk down the street and be in a National Forest in less than 10 minutes. Some places I could walk off the property and be in a national forest.

It’s crazy to live in a big city now and I feel less safe riding my bike to the store despite it being 10x closer. Getting outside and walking is so much easier because there is space that isn’t “owned” by anyone. It’s freeing for the mind and soul.

There are problems but when I moved away a few years ago even the people on the trump train we’re still community members looking to support everyone including gay people, trans people, and women. All the opinions I heard were summed up by, “Well, it’s their choice, it don’t affect me.”
