  • This is a bit of a reach but bike lanes are most effective when they connect directly. That means they are built on major roads, not cul-de-sacs that go nowhere.

    Who buys roads in front of major roads: the poor. Because the expensive homes are in cul-de-sacs far from the heavy road noise.

    So the law is equally just to rich and poor in the same way it is equally just to rich and poor by making sleeping under a bridge illegal.

    Everyone benefits from the bike lanes, but only the poorer homeowners are inconvenienced.





  • I thought they were completely insane but losing their parking because of poor planning is a good reason to be mad.

    The city planners created a town that wasn’t walkable and then took away parking from a few people knowing that a minority of complainers can’t fight back.

    If the council wants to take away a few citizens’ parking, how about they bulldoze the council members yards for parking lots. Even better is eminent domain the council members homes to turn it mixed use urban design to make the town walkable. Then they can have more bike lanes and everyone is happy.

    OnionOS changed my entire mindset about what a retro handheld should be. I have an Anbernic 351m, Retroid 3+, and now a mini.

    The mini, despite being technically inferior is by far my favorite because of OnionOS. Being able to turn it on, have it start right where I left off, and then ignore it and it completely turns itself off- not sleep makes it so easy that I play it all the time.

    Retroid means Android which means it sleeps instead of powering off. And fill power on is slow. And configuring a Game Front End is always extremely time consuming.

    Onion just works. If they added a single Thumbstick to the Miyoo, it could handle N64 and I wouldn’t need anything else.







  • Yet another “population decline is the end of the world” bull shit article. Population decline is not a problem. Historical population declines worse than the current ones like the Black Plague and WW2 have always resulted in a better world for everyone.

    When the population goes back to sustainable levels it will go back up again. It’s no different than any other ecology where animals outgrow their environment’s carrying capacity and decline. After declining, they grow again until the limit is reached again.

    When population goes back to 1950’s levels, labor will be valued like it was in the 1950’s, and the average person will once again have the wealth and leisure time to have a family.

    Population decline is only a problem for the ruling class who live by skimming a little profit from all workers. If there are less workers, they will have to be paid more which means less excess capital for mega yachts.
