Germany’s Left Party wants to halve billionaires…

Ow mein arsh

It’s another clickbait article about roads with no intent but to rile people up

You are correct about uncontrolled intersections, this suggests we could remove the separate pedestrian signals at traffic lights

As shown in the image: “Pedestrians walking the same diection as main road traffic share the same green light”

As you say (and included in the article) there’s a stunningly obvious reason we don’t do this already: pedestrians are vulnerable, and we can make good estimates about how long the pedestrian red should be to allow safe crossing

Just put ‘making intersections less safe’ over there on the garbage pile with ‘speed has no impact on the likelihood or severity of accidents’

“Did you hear about that crash in Washington?” “Yeah, the Republicans took $3.8m in bribes from Delta to let them cram in an unsafe number of flights, and now 70 people are dead”

That’s it, that’s the response. No Republican will read this if you send them a link. Just give them true sound bites.

If they say DEI, just ask them about the bribes. If they say terrorism ask them about the bribes. If they blame Biden ask them about the bribes. Don’t engage with any sentence that doesn’t include the word bribe.

I didn’t say “Websters Dictionary defines” - I showed that the word is in common usage as a non-perjorative by Jewish sources

A simple search of DDG found multiple Jewish sources using and explaining the use of the word ‘zionist’ as an adjective for individual persons e.g.

The Times of Israel: “To be a Zionist means to recognise the land of Israel as the ancestral homeland of the Jewish people and to believe in the existence of a Jewish state in the land of Zion, or Israel.”

They mention in the article that they chose to use dollar stores to demonstrate the challenge of eating well in food deserts

And this sentence in the conclusion is pretty spot-on:

“Targeted policy to expand food access … will be necessary for the Lancet climate food plan to become effective.”

“Microsoft’s Gabe Newell”

Lol

Life, uh, finds a way

Every Best Picture Winner Ranked by How Good a Muppets Version Would Be

“Imagine this. Kermit the Frog in his little Columbo jacket and tiny fedora, backed up by Fozzy, Gonzo, Miss Piggy, and Rizzo. What are they doing? Uncovering the sexual abuse crimes of the catholic church. Billion dollar box-office.”

I only do this when an article is insightful but long, and I feel a bit dissappointed that most people won’t read it

I don’t know about long-term, but I find it very interesting to interrogate yourself - What was the point of the article? How was it laid out, and was that effective?

With this one I was surprised on reflection how honest the author is in acknowledging an ignorance (How do we fix the problem that has been described? I don’t know!)

And considering that the book has nothing to do with space…
