Im imagining some of my house mates over the years and the inconsiderate nature in which they closed doors in the middle of the night. It'd be nice if that didn't have to be a concern. No idea what could be done, but so many nights it effected my sleep. Its my biggest pet peeve.

I don't really like doors. Not their function but their design. Everyone's just satisfied with the status quo, like basically the same door for millennium, and no one thinks we should innovate?

Well Judaism isn't evangelical. It didn't sweep though Europe and have the same kind of power.

Most partial differential equations have no analytic solution, but we can still solve them numerically. We design the algorithms, we prove they provide the correct solutions in the right conditions, but given the amount of computation and steps required to arrive at a solution, for the hardest problems (ie navier-stokes), it is practically impossible for a human to do by hand.

It doesn't mean the computer is better. It's just a tool used to solve a problem. In this case that problem is go, and that computer is really good at solving it.

Well the transatlantic slave trade specifically and its extent. The argument, by otherering Africans, in their depictions of them, they then fell under the purview of Christianity's dominion over everything. And the patriarchy, influenced by Christianity, helped solidify it in western culture.

Christianity marked a shift in how humanity thought of itself. The earth, nature, and all the animals were made for men, by the one true God, to use and take as they pleased. This line of thinking led to colonialism, slavery, and even capitalism and the patriarchy.

I lived there from 2017-2022. I saw some of those upgrades, and I have been back a few times. As was mentioned with that map, is that some of those bike paths still aren't exactly safe with how close you are to traffic. Many of those are just cross streets with a bicycle painted on the ground.

Here's a map of proper bike lanes, and areas of high and low stress in the city. You can see there's still work to be done. Don't get me wrong, you can get around most places, but those high stress areas are hard to avoid sometimes.

Here's what some of those "paths" look like from that original map posted above.

And here is the street in question, for the proposed upgrade.

Have you been? You keep spelling it wrong lol. Public transportation there is far from perfect. And as someone that rode a bike there as my primary mode of transportation for 4.5 years (aside from walking and the occasional bus ride when the route was convenient), I can confidently say it's in definite need of some updated biking infrastructure. There were some very sketchy places to ride.

I've met some Leftists in real life that are like this too, and got to know them. They may have some legitimate trauma and are veery tired of dealing with the same crap from people all the time. They defend themselves, their existence, and their views so often, they're just frustrated they have to keep doing it.

Ignore it if it bothers you, or try to understand. But either way, we should, at a minumum, agree to get of capitalism, so get on board with that at least.

I just wish this was talked about more. I know AOC has mentioned co-ops before, but we're in need of proper legislation, and a legal framework, to support and recognize them. For the purpose of gaining access to capital (via bank loans) if nothing else. There are almost no drawbacks, and so many upsides. Aside from needing to learn how to actually work with other people, they're legitimately better in basically every way to traditional businesses.

If you could have heard all the stuff [they] just told me in the shower, you'd realize [they're] out of [their] entire damn mind. But do we really want to make it a crime to be crazy at [Lemmy Shitpost]?

Yeah, and besides that, they're smarter and more innovative and creative than the rest of us. So, either way, they deserve it.

Without them we could end up with socialism where people might even have democratic control over their workplaces. And of course that would be much worse. For instance, cooperatives are only better in theory, wait, and in practice...
