I hate when there's like 50 candidates with good ideas, but none of them encapsulate all the goals and mindsets

Like one guy prioritizes housing the homeless and transportation, but the plans are vague. Whereas another guy has very specific transportation goals, and that's it. And maybe another guy wants to create more affordable housing and healthcare, but also wants to give a bajillion more dollars to cops.

Perfection is the killer of all joy and all that, but this is shit is annoying.

Denver residents are voting on whether to turn a golf course into a park or use the land for development for housing and retail

> If the easement is extinguished and the plan goes through, Westside could create more than 3,000 homes in Northeast Park Hill, 75% of which will be market rate, and the rest will be income-restricted. The area would boast the fourth largest park in the metro area, and the developer would fund that. Buildings could be between four and 12 stories high, depending on their location on the site.

> If this measure does not pass, it’s possible that Westside would sit on the land, and it would remain vacant as it has since 2018. The company could also run a golf course on the site, essentially making the land inaccessible to all but fee-paying golfers.

Keyword is here "could" create more than 3000 homes. But the article states

> This second part of the measure doesn’t actually do much. It’s basically a way for the architects of this measure to communicate to the public what Westside plans to do. There is nothing for voters to allow, beyond the city extinguishing the easement.

Looks like another case of capitalists trying to use progressive language to trick the public. There's no clause in the vote that mandates the developer build anything.

Also, the city and developers are saying the land must be primarily used for golf if the contract is preserved, but the opponents say it's a lie and it can be used for anything as long as it sticks to the "open space" principles of the contract

(CW: cringe, str*amer class nonsense) Twitch Streamer Destiny and an Economist [Richard Wolff] Debate Capitalism, Achieve Nothing
www.vice.com Twitch Streamer Destiny and an Economist Debate Capitalism, Achieve Nothing

Steven 'Destiny' Bonnell II and Richard Wolff debated economic theories for 90 minutes on Twitch.

Twitch Streamer Destiny and an Economist Debate Capitalism, Achieve Nothing

I can't believe this is real lol

> Throughout the debate, Destiny groaned loudly and twisted around in his chair. He put his hands on his face and rolled his eyes. The Twitch chat rolled along, arbitrarily scoring the debate and getting excited when either participant seemed to get mad.

> “You’ve told me a bunch of things that capitalism isn’t. You’ve given me a bunch of random collected facts of history,” Destiny said after Wolff had given what he felt was an unsatisfactory definition of capitalism.

> “Why would you talk about the history of it? That’s not relevant,” Destiny said, after asking Wolff why he refused to call the modern American democratic party a socialist party.

I've seen people IRL talk about him and Hasan. Truly the darkest of ages

We're slowly heading to sentient AI just by lowering the bar on sentience
  • I’ve always found people who freak out about AI sentience extremely pathetic. Just absolute baboons who get impressed by mundane shit. I first came across it with the whole “roko’s basilisk” shit and immediately dismissed them as morons, and many years later I’m still validated

  • Retro shooter Ultrakill now has official sex toy support
  • open source sex toy interface

    I recently watched a Richard Stallman interview where he talks about being horrified with bluetooth dildos because it's closed source and sending data to corporations. He must be thrilled with this new development

  • Why do assholes steal cars from random poor people

    Walked outside to see a fucker trying to jiggle my door and ran off when I confronted him. Shits worth $300 and has different color doors. Who’s chopping this shit up? They gotta be selling it to developing countries where they’re worth more. I suppose that’s why beat up cars are more valuable than high end ones because it’s more affordable overseas

    Surprise! The NAFO founder and Prolific Poster Kamil Dyszewski is a Holocaust Denier and general Fascist
  • full time job at NAFO’s parent company

    :no-mouth-must-scream:

    I’m a Jew who’s family fled Denmark. I laughed. If he hates Jews he atoned for it, we forgive. The Russians call me a nazi. I’m more worried about Russia replicating the genocide that almost wiped out my entire family than an edgelord CSgo comment.

    :no-mouth-must-scream:

  • The replies to this illustrate that most American Leftists are straight up Hitlerites
  • This is where many people seem to go wrong. Like oh damn I joined the military and I know/knew it was bad but please feel bad for me now cause I feel sad about it. No you go do something to make up for your sins if you feel bad about it.

    Sometimes redemption is a lonely road. It will likely not always stay that way if you continue to be authentic, but it will start that way. If you rather be a fascist because it’s easier than doing good things for the sake of being a good person, then you’re just a fascist :eric-andre:

    Like bro, you were willing to endure 6 months of a sweaty meathead yelling at you and killing random families at your commander’s order but you can’t handle when someone doesn’t look you in the eye and forgive you? Lol. A bit narcissistic

  • The replies to this illustrate that most American Leftists are straight up Hitlerites
  • The only good American vets are the ones who acknowledge their sins and seek redemption through actions and not defend their time in the military and don’t get pissy when POC/foreigners are understandably wary of them as if they’re entitled to automatic forgiveness.

  • Why are techbros so obsessed with “imposter syndrome?”

    Maybe it’s because I literally do not give a shit about the company or it’s products or customers. I just want money. In fact, I want the opposite kind of imposter syndrome, where I trick the people hiring me into thinking I’m much more qualified than I actually am get paid a shit ton more money. Yes I know C++, Pascal, Assembly, COBOL. Please pay me $500k.
