  • It’s the same shit everywhere. You get to choose where you deal with it. If you’re in the right spot it’s much easier.

    • What part of internet culture is so meta you will be completely baffled by it in 30 years if not sooner?

  • I’m ok with memes. What bothers me is the low effort reuse of meme formats over and over and over again.

  • Many seem to be AI garbage. I do like when I find an old one though.

  • Web 1.0 was open and democratic. Accessible to all.

    Web 2.0 was designed up be exploited by large corporations to control the flow of information that humans can access.

  • It’s almost as if the real problem is opportunity. Hmm.

    • Former GM Executive: BYD cars are good in terms of design, features, price, quality. If we let BYD into the U.S. market, it could end up destroying american manufacturers

  • The US subsidizes farms and petroleum.

  • Radio shack for sure. Has anything electronic or computer related you need.

  • Has been that way since it was a series of colonies.

    • DAE struggle with summer?

  • I am with you 100%. Early-to-mid spring also does it to me as well when the days and nights are just right.

  • Yes and everyone is like OH MY GOD I HAVE THE BEST HIKE/BIKE RIDE/CAMPING/BEACH IDEA YOU HAVE EVER HEARD OF AND YOU NEED TO STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND COME WITH ME NOOOOOOW and act like you are broken if you aren't in the right mood for it. I may very well like these things but need to build up to it.

  • LOL I have always loved how they have decided that Communism, a very liberal economic system, is not liberal.

    • How have your ideas, beliefs, and opinions changed over time? What idea, belief, or opinion have you recently changed?

    Jump

  • That’s kind of you to say. There was definitely no way I could have foreseen what the Web 2.0 era would be like.

  • When the internet became more of a common thing, I really believed that it would bring people together. That all everyone needed was to be exposed to information. That seems so very naive now.

  • I grew up in a very conservative household and genuinely believed everything I was taught due to not being exposed to other ideas. Over time, even when in high school, I started to notice that people hated things without understanding them. Ask someone to explain to you why communism is bad, for instance, and they probably can't because they know nothing about it.

    Over time, I became exposed to more diverse people, educated people, people from different places. I went to school and got my masters degree. I have found that I am frankly fairly liberal by US standards.

    • Even conservatives use to boast the virtue of achieving higher education. In MAGA times what is the pathway to success?

    Jump

  • The MAGA types used to talk about an education when it was a way to insult people who make the minimum wage and make it their fault that they were underpaid. They didn't actually want peoples' lives to be better, but rather to find a way to look down on entire classes of humans.

    • There's No Waffle House in California

    Jump

  • It's not just CA. The closest one to the west coast is in Arizona. Most are in the south with some extending into the Midwest or up the east coast.

    The sad thing is that I really like the Waffle House but, for the most part, they just don't exist in states that are worth living in.

    • My rehabilitated abusive ex-boyfriend wants to meet with me and our son

    Jump

  • You should do what you are comfortable with. If he is genuinely better, then that is fantastic for him. You likely still carry some trauma around from that experience, and your ability to move past it may not match his. That is fine, you don't have to do anything. If you want to meet him, do. If you don't, then don't.

    My only suggestion is this: if you do meet him, do it without your son along. Meet him in some place public, and perhaps even take a friend or family member with you. Only involve your son later if you are sure about it.

    • UCLA research found LA housing projects spend 652 days stuck in approval processes. Cutting approval times by 25% would increase housing production by 13.5%

    Jump

  • I fully agree with what you are saying here. The problem is not the requirements, it is whether the city is willing to fund the staffing to properly manage the approval process/departments.
