I’ve seen LGBT lobby and Rainbow Mafia thrown around too. Anything to dehumanize and attempt to paint us as some faceless and unreasonable oppressors.

Upvotes ideally don’t equate to agreement though.

Color me surprised you found yourself on the lemmyverse but don’t feel confident to install a mod. Not a dig! Just unexpected.

HC is coming out eventually though, not sure why it “obviously” isn’t?

It’s telling how many people equate preheating oven to cooking frozen pizza.

I don’t understand the timing of this. The man is only 52 years old and, regardless of how you feel about him, has many open-ended chapters of his career. Why now?

You’re making it sound like the wealthy are rich in technicality only. Maybe the majority of their assets aren’t liquid but they’re still damn wealthy more than “on paper.”

And singling out wages as the only source of income to prove Elon isn’t “actually” wealthy is disingenuous at best.

Hotels aren’t the only ones who stand to benefit from codes such as these. NYC’s may have been overly harsh, but more cities should be looking to clamp down on housing being sucked out of the local market by big money interests.

I work in research, not medicine, but I see the brain drain in my circle. We were the first to leave but many of my colleagues indicate they’ll follow soon. The relative sanity of Austin wasn’t enough to keep us in Texas.

I know at least one: the state GOP took umbrage with a police oversight act that Austin passed in May.

Edit: actually, the “Death Star” bill didn’t concern this. There was separate legislature proposed to block city-specific police oversight but it was unsuccessful thankfully.

Why do you say traffic doesn’t matter? Isn’t that the most likely reason they brought r/place back?

And don’t forget outright libel against the Apollo dev before he came back with recordings.

I resonate with what @gaywallet said about how we shut ourselves off in environments we can’t trust. I think I forgot how “easy” it can be to engage when you expect others to assume positive intent. I’ve wasted so much time writing and rewriting Reddit comments because I was worried it would be taken the wrong way. And then half the time I’d decide to just scrap it because it wasn’t worth the sweat.

This place has been a breath of fresh air in contrast.
