95% of people overlook the involvement of alcohol. I know you urinpeans love your booze, but you need to recognize that its a problem. I went out to a 4/20 event one year in the far off land of San Francisco, and everything was great until about 5pm when the liquor came out. Once morons started doing shots off park benches, the fights started, and the property destruction started. An otherwise peaceful and heavily medicated gathering turned into a riot with just a handful of handles.

The point is that cultivation is not conducive to a natural habitat.

The Amazon rainforest arguably benefited from cultivation, but not until the vast majority of the human population emigrated away or died off.

Modern humans have never figured out a good balance to work with nature. Native Americans came closest with the Three Sisters and forage style harvests. The vast majority of people are too focused on production to ever truly care about the impact of their garden on the wider environment.

Its a dumb ask. I bought the Playstation to play it when I have the time. I think way more people would be on board if it was a ps store blackout. No MTC, no purchases, nothing. Easy. Doable. Asking people to ignore the $600 widget they already bought and use? Pretty unreasonable.

This has always been a thing forever. A Miranda warning is exactly that, a courtesy warning. Anything you say at literally any time and in any scenario barring very little can be used against you in a court of law. At the same time, you always have the right to invoke your 5th amendment protections barring very specific exceptions. AFAIK the exception is when a judge orders you to testify. Literally no other time can you be compelled to answer unless you've already agreed to do so.

Point: Always assume anything you say is being recorded and might come up again later. Do not rely on other people to warn you before you fuck yourself. Shut your speak hole unless your representative says otherwise.

Contrary to popular belief, it is not. I was a skinny boy who liked to climb and play sports. I can remember quite a few times me knees knocked together as I was growing up.

As someone who used to be like that but now has a real fucked up sleep schedule due to unemployment, I can tell you the deciding factor is a consistent sleep period. The vast majority of my career has been waking up at 4am and going to sleep at 8 or 9pm. Thats easy to fall into and even when you're off your body just knows when its time to sleep and when its time to get up. Ive gotten up on time a few times despite the alarms failing to go off for whatever reason. You want good sleep? Set wake up and bedtime. Your body will adjust.

Unfortunately this trope makes up about 85% of Chinese media, so its never going anywhere. Pretty much every single story with cultural value boils down to someone had daddy issues and made it everyone else's problem.

Indianapolis has a population density of 2500 people per square mile. SF has about 19,000 in the same space. Seattle is about 10,000. Denver and Nashville are around 5k and 1.5k respectively, so you're getting closer. LA is way back up about about 9k. You see why these things aren't the same?

Chicago has the density, but its glory days are long past. Its just not able to compete with better placed city centers. Not with the state of rail.

I don't hate Chicago. I just dont pretend anything remotely interesting has happened there since the Manhattan project. Its a boring backwaterthat blew out every dollar it ever made on anything but maintenance. Im honestly shocked every year it manages not to sink into the swamp it was built over. You people are lucky the place isnt named shittycaca

Don't forget French Canadians. Its rare a colonizer is justified in looking down their nose at another colonizer. After all, the only thing worse than a colonizer is a double colonizer.

And that's why people build cities next to water pretty much any chance they get. No matter how efficient your transportation system is on land, it cant beat floating stuff on water. Look at history. The best cities always have water (and boats) nearby.

I cant help that you have terrible taste in pizza and goofy accents. Chicago is modern day irrelevant. It died right along side Detroit. You can only abuse them system for so long before all you have left is blood sucking lawyers and corrupt cops. LA is getting there, but our port is way better. Same for NY
