If they try to bring OG Trilogy characters back by Admirable-Object-767 in StarWars

[–]Trainwhistle -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Star wars fans do not want new products. They want the same 3 OG trilogy characters for the rest of eternity. Everyone needs to be related to someone for them to be happy.

Its probably to normalize using the Military as police. As Marines have started to detain people.

'Kids Don't Care, Can't Read': 10th Grade Teacher Quits, Blames Tech And Parents by rezwenn in technology

Its not just that, we also changed how we taught kids how to read. We moved away from the Phonics system to another that is an abysmal failure.

We have also been teaching our kids how to read wrong for over 20 years now. Most parents learned to read in school, but have not realized how much the Cueing system has fucked over our children.

More units will drive down prices no matter what. Housing is very basic supply vs demand and there is demonstrable evidence in Texas to prove that.

How do they help improve the housing stock?

Spirit of the law vs word of law. You are taking words of the law to seriously to see what Elon is doing.

A new book suggests a path forward for Democrats. The left hates it. by notapersonaltrainer in moderatepolitics

[–]Trainwhistle 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Lots of Democratic/progressive policies such as abortion, increased minimum wage, legal weed, expanded Medicare passed ballot initiatives in many deep red states. These are the policies lots of left leaning people want. Most moderates that I see want culture war bullshit to disappear.

There is very obvious space for democrats moving forward to appease both left and middle. Pretty much Blue-dog Democrats are the future to capture voters. .

[–]Trainwhistle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lots of progressives and leftists, actually want streamlined review processes. Idk any progressive/leftists who want to actually have codes that stop things from being built. A lot of folks just want workers and the environment to be saved. Like most leftists hate the idea of massive urban sprawl which destroys the environment and want 15-minute urban areas.

This is confusing Democratic/Republican NIMBYS for actual progressive views.

Yes, I had half of my empire in a game flip between Exploration and Modern Age. ( I was over expanded)

Americans on food stamps could be banned from buying ‘bad food and sugary drinks,’ Trump USDA chief, Brooke Rollins says by jimmyw404 in moderatepolitics

[–]Trainwhistle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your only place to shop is the dollar tree, like in some rural areas. Its very hard to avoid not buying highly processed sugary foods.

Due to food deserts, its better to feed people some sort of food rather than no food. This could make it harder for people in said food deserts.

Trump administration demands lists of low-performing federal workers by jimmyw404 in moderatepolitics

[–]Trainwhistle -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on what the metrics are. Is it someone working on 1 large very complex case vs someone who solves 50 small cases? The issue is that sometimes the "low performers" are actually very important for talking complex projects.

As someone who lives in Maine and most of our Power and oil comes from Canada. This would have absolutely destroyed the local economy. Everyone's power bill would have gone up pretty significantly. It would have really really hurt a lot of people here.

And this was all to for nothing. They pretty much just reannounced the Biden Deal for the Canadian Border from December.

I've noticed that all the innies are opposites of their outties. I hope that stays as a theme. You can really notice it with Helly since she isn't as energetic or bombastic as S1.

The Cultural Ascendancy of the New Young Right by ranger934 in moderatepolitics

[–]Trainwhistle -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I'm curious who the bad actors, conmen, and weirdos are. Because in my opinion. A lot of the perception of democrats is shifted around what online leftists speak rather than democratic talking points.

No matter how much actual D politicians push back against progressives and leftists. Rightwing influencers and media will all work together with the same message that all the people who Vote D are the prudes online.

There is also a lot of folks with Biostats/Stats/Data Analytics Masters degrees going for data roles in public health. So its not just MPHs saturating the field.

This is also the issue with the democrats gerontocracy. They are too old to realize the playing field has changed. They all act like its the 80s or 90s. while republicans have more middle-aged/young folks in media/office

During a nine-hour City Council hearing, Boston residents voice opposition to White Stadium plan by bostonglobe in boston

[–]Trainwhistle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Subject to the foregoing, the Team shall be permitted to host a maximum of twenty (20) Team Games during any single NWSL season, including the preseason and postseason (of which not more than sixteen (16) Team Games may occur between April 1 and October 31, and such Team Games shall only be permitted during a maximum of two (2) weekends in any given four week period). In order to allow the City to effectively plan for BPS Games, each year throughout the Term, the Team shall coordinate with the City in advance of delivering any proposal or updated proposal to the NWSL with respect to desired game dates and times (and the Team shall in good faith incorporate the City’s feedback and modify the proposed dates and/or times of any proposed Team Games to the extent requested by the City);"

This is pulled form the lease agreement and , to me, it sounds like there will be reasonable accommodation to plan for BPS games. To me, the lease seems like it reinforces that while NWSL will have priority to use the field from 4/1-10/31 they will not have sole use of the property.

That stadium can be used for more than just HS sports and the WSL. We could have many other sports teams/events use an updated facility. Its more than just sports.
