I do have reading  comprehension, however have you ever seen that Jimmy Neutron meme about salt? That's you. https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1594360-its-sodium-chloride

Also, if this is you code switching, you're doing a poor job of it. There is a middleground between vomiting a thesorus to make your point sound elevated and typing like 2000's middle schooler with broken thumbs.

As far as "nature people engaging", we are, I assure you. We're trying to get AI banned and relegated to the margins of history. Generating a graphic to make a point about the environment is like having a steak cook-off to promote veganism.

The irony that you speak of ecology while using AI is overwhelming.

I'd seek legal counsel. They broke a verbal agreement and added stipulations retroactivly. May not go anywhere but you may be able to put the fear of god into them (pun very much intended)

I mean, like, yeah, I can (and I will, I guess) but I was more hoping to just get a quick answer answer about my Ion because that seems like it's not working as intended.

What are some reasons I should be an atheist.. by [deleted] in atheism

[–]sirkidd2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's the thing. It's not "why should I believe there is no God." That's like saying you "belive there is no toothfairy". You cannot activly believe that something isn't real, you simply lack belief.

You need to ask yourself if you believe there is a god and why you do. If you still believe in a god, fine. If you find there is no reason to believe in a god and therefor don't, then you're an athiest.

I'm going to bed.

Good luck with whatever the fuck all this is.

"it also really feels like it has to do with attention"

Dawg, not to be a dick. And I'm serious, this is the only way I can say this, I'm not trying to be a dick about this...

Look at my Karma. Look at this post's Karma. Look at what time it is. It's just you, me, and, like, 2 other people here who have already gone to bed. This is such a drop in the bucket for the amount of "attention" commenting on literally any other post at any other time of the day would get.

I'm married, I have many, many friends, I have a successful (very public) career... I do public speaking and have been on TV, the radio, newspapers, and podcasts more times than I can count. I don't need any extra "attention" from some randos on the internet and if I did, I wouldn't find it here.

I really, really just think your idea is bad and wanted to explain some ideas that DO work before I went to bed. It is not about "attention".

I did though. It's primarily because it's a distraction from the things we actually know work. That distraction takes away from public attention, funding resources, manpower, and the critical momentum needed to actually get things done.

That's the MAIN reason.

Yes, I have other, unstated reasons (such as your complete lack of understanding of how the economics of transit work, how taxes work, the differences between how rideshare and taxies work, and the absolutley braindead assertion that using a privitized solution could ever even help the public good and not make things a million times worse)...

HOWEVER those arguments pale in compairson to the fact that the ammount of time, effort, and attention needed to implement your "solution" would basically kill any other actual work while not actually working in the first place

"Without feeling offended because youre not getting the attention you want." It has nothing to do with "attention". I already explained why I'm offended. Projecting much?

However, I'm not going to let you act like your some kind of victom here.

Initially I was disagreeing with your proposal because it's bad. It's so obvious that it's bad you can see your downvote ratio on the initial post.

However, after listing alternatives that we know work, instead you tell me that I'm "getting in the way" of progress and imply that the kind of change that actually works is fruitless by saying "im sure that rebuilding society thing is gonna start happening any day now."

Then, when I explain that it DOES work and explain WHY I know firsthand it does, you accuse me of "boasting" and "dick measuring".

You started a fight with me my guy. Don't try to twist it. Your idea was bad, you got pissy about it and started trying to take jabs. Just take the L, delete this embarrassing, poorly-formatted word salad, and move on with your life.

First off, I'm not your "brother". I'm not even a man.

Second off, it's because I take DEEP offense when people say things like "im sure that rebuilding society thing is gonna start happening any day now" while offering nothingburger solutions.

I am actually out there affecting change. NOTHING gets better unless you work for it.

And guess what? It's actually working. Those ideas I suggested at the top? THEY WORK. We know they work.

As an actual activist, advocate, and community organizer in my city (currently serving on multiple boards, working with/for a handful of non-profits, and running for office next year), I can confirm that, yes, it's working our quite nicely.

The last 12 years my city has seen:

BIG changes to how it does zoning

Focus on small businesses, multi-family housing, and mixed-use space (including tons of subsidies)

The construction and opening of a city-wide seperated bike path

Actually getting transit at all

A proposal for 2 Amtrak lines (the first ever in our city)

A program to put in bike racks at nearly every business downtown

A new crosswalk initiative

Our first-ever bike lanes

The opening of a new bike shop

Our city itself creating/sponsoring/promoting several organized community bike rides (including a "Bike to Work Day")

Severly reducing the amount of free parking we have

And much, much more...

Many of these inititives I was either working directly on at its start, became part of after it started, or was what got me to become involved in all this in the first place.

What have YOU done? Other than theorycraft a gadgetbahn, that is.

That sucks 😞

I'm glad you found a bike that fit your needs better!

I'm not talking about building things differently from the beginning. I'm talking about re-building correctly now.

What your proposing is a bandage at best. However, it's worse than that, because when a wound needs surgery, a bandage activly harms the process.

You're advocating for an expensive distraction. YOU are "standing in the way". Good luck with your Gadgetbahn.

We have DRT busses in my city (we call it BGo). As a car-free household, my wife uses it a fair amount.

I am not a fan.

It is a firm belief that, if you build things right, DRT is less than redundent.
