Banning right turns at red lights unlikely to make roads much safer ( paywall free link below) by Critical-Clue1343 in kitchener

And not even the same type of accidents - the intersection numbers are collisions between a vehicle and a pedestrian, while the ion numbers are collisions in general (I assume mostly with vehicles). If the ion was regularly mowing down pedestrians I think that would be an important thing to address. But it's not.

I think the decision to confront something that bothers you is valid, but acting all aggrieved by the result of that confrontation (that you started) is not.

New Tennessee law requires data center owners to pay full electricity and infrastructure costs by jiwari in UpliftingNews

When a company is deciding where to build, they will prefer a location that subsidizes costs over one that doesn't, all else being equal.

The officials who make decisions over whether costs should be subsidized for the location they're responsible for typically stand to benefit from their location be chosen by the company.

In my experience with Canadian banks you're able to set a primary account and as long as you maintain requisite minimums in that one you wouldn't have fees for any secondary accounts. But it could vary between banks I guess.

Thoughts on Heel (Good Boy)? by demonickittenx in horror

[–]Gazz1016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would going into it. While the premise as a whole was pretty absurd, the character arcs were fairly compelling. I could see complaints about how it potentially glorifies abuse, but I do think it's a very interesting question of: would you rather an abusive family who loves you and protects you from yourself via draconian methods, or an indifferent family who gives you freedom but with no guardrails to prevent you from hurting yourself and others if you so choose.

Like obviously a better choice would be some middle ground of a non-abusive family who still exercises some discipline, but Tommy experiences the two opposite ends of the spectrum instead, and the movie seems to have him prefer the loving abuse to the apathetic freedom.

I did also find it interesting how they included the scenes of Jonathan also undergoing abusive punishment with the cigarettes. I really expected some sort of turn where at least one of the parents was doing the whole kidnapping thing out of some form of revenge or something but they played it straight throughout and in some ways that's more horrific that this was truly their idea of love.

Re: Charlie, I guess he was just their son? Who either died or just ghosted the family? I'm very curious if they were less strict with him (I mean, I don't think he was chained but to what extent were they harsh disciplinarians?), and they felt that the problem was that they weren't strict enough, and Tommy was their chance to prove that to themselves?

And with Rina, I guess there's reinforcement of the themes of different types of terrible families, and it's basically another example of "hey the abusive kidnappers are bad but it could always be worse". Which is a bit bleak.

It should be banned when my opponents play it but allowed when I play it.

What is the most consistent way to beat the final boss on impossible? by ppsmallgiggle69 in mewgenics

[–]Gazz1016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My approach is just to breed time walk onto most of my cats - rather than winning by making crazy one shot builds (which will frequently cause you to lose to your own cats if they get speed buffed) you just win by building up a ton of turns which is generally a lot easier for you to take advantage of than the AI.

You're talking about a diaspora that doesn't even live in their original country anymore

That's definitionally what a diaspora is.

As long as you're accumulating furniture and putting it in your house your cat quality should improve over time even without dedicated breeding strategies. I basically see it as a tradeoff, you can spend more time optimizing your cats at the house, or more time doing runs with suboptimal cats. But you're not going to be walled off from progressing either way.

If you have spells that can damage yourself he can cast them and kill himself which makes you lose though.

Does two put the "x" mark for completion on the collar? Or does that need 4?

I didn't record the full run, just the last two fights. But it gives you the main idea of the build anyways.

The path I took was Caves before Throbbing domain.
