nal@lib.lgbtto Socialism@beehaw.org•The Strong Towns Movement is Simply Right-Libertarianism Dressed in Progressive GarbEnglish13·2 年前Great read! I always found Strong Towns’ critiques of North American suburban planning useful because they put things in terms that liberals can understand easily - essentially, that widening roads and encouraging low-density development ends up costing towns more money, and that we can provide better services to more people by building more densely with more mixed uses. I hadn’t looked into the actual recommendations of Strong Towns’ founder, though, and this article points out some real doozies that are good to keep in mind when using his critiques.

Cars. Not only are they getting bigger, with both higher weight and worse blind spots making them more dangerous, but the new technologies they are coming with make me uneasy. The touch screens to control everything from climate control to radio are bad enough, but now they even have social media apps installed! Plus all of the driving aids like lane departure assist up to “autonomous” driving means drivers are paying less and less attention to the road.
I used to feel this way until I was bitten by a horsefly. I’d rather have 10 mosquito bites than this
I thought DS9 had some great time travel episodes tbh. Past Tense and The Visitor I think are top tier episodes, plus some fun antics between Far Beyond Stars (if that counts as time travel) and Trials and Tribble-ations.
first game I got into was Pokemon Blue, but Guild Wars is what turned me into a gamer
