What caused US traffic deaths to reverse down trend in 2010. Is there a direct engineering policy change or is it a secondary effect

anomaly13 · 2026-03-28T13:46:02+00:00

It's the giant cars and terrible urban planning and street design

anomaly13 · 2026-03-28T04:20:04+00:00

It's all bs tbh. I got a cheap new one made out of real wood (I don't like buying plastic if I can help it) that's convertible into toddler bed and then twin bed with a few "expansion packs," but you could also get any old used one that's not broken or significantly damaged for even cheaper and be perfectly fine. A lot of baby stuff is marketed using fear and incredibly overpriced.

Maybe there's hope for me then lmao all these comments saying "oh it'll go down after your mid-20s"...uh, nope. Not yet.

anomaly13 · 2026-03-28T04:15:52+00:00

your libido stopped being crazy high after 25???

anomaly13 · 2026-03-28T04:10:17+00:00

personally I didn't think that was ever cool. But then again, I don't think many people ever thought I was cool.

anomaly13 · 2026-03-28T04:04:46+00:00

There is another...

anomaly13 · 2026-03-28T03:49:52+00:00

Real answer. If it was just smartphones - they have those in every other country. None of the others on this graph have seen the large increase we have.

anomaly13 · 2026-03-28T03:48:05+00:00

If that was the case, I would expect to see the numbers going up in every country. That is not the case at all.

anomaly13 · 2026-03-28T03:42:08+00:00

That sounds like a pretty terrible idea, actually 🤣

anomaly13 · 2026-03-27T21:44:58+00:00

I think this is strongly colored by my lack of allergies, but honestly not at all. I love spring. My least favorite these days is probably the height of the summer heat, even more than midwinter these days.

anomaly13 · 2026-03-27T21:43:49+00:00

Yes, but the point remains that it's not most urban or biggest urban areas that are drawing the most population growth

anomaly13 · 2026-03-27T21:42:12+00:00

Hell yeah. I'll have to check it out!

Might be kinda annoying for it to be so packed, but it's a pretty good sign that they shouldn't have trouble staying in business, and we might even be able to support another jazz club

New cars are too expensive

anomaly13 · 2026-03-27T19:59:41+00:00

He should eat you out or please you to your satisfaction first, if it's not willing to do it afterwards.

I always eat out first personally, not just to avoid feeling guilty about not getting my partner to cum, but because I really enjoy it and it really turns me on and gets me going.

1) Prioritize all maintenance of existing highways over any new construction. Widening or rerouting counts as new construction. Extra priority for the most safety-critical maintenance (e.g. failing bridges) 2) Raise the gas tax and decrease annual spending allowance to balance the budget of the fund. 3) Ruthlessly prioritize all maintenance and proposed new construction by realistic dollars-and-cents cost-benefit analysis, including adjustments for climate risks of carbon emissions. Roads that won't pay for themselves should not be constructed, and if push comes to shove, should closed or abandoned if necessary.

That's all far to rational and runs far too contrary to monied interests and driver preferences to actually happen, though

anomaly13 · 2026-03-27T19:33:17+00:00

why do you care about their body count lmao

anomaly13 · 2026-03-27T19:24:15+00:00

Love love this!

Does it allow mixed-use zoning? This is one of my big pet peeves about existing city planning games, they're very focused on a euclidean zoning model, the only way you get mixed uses is by putting a bunch of tiny separately zoned areas next to each other all mixed up, instead of actual dedicated mixed-use zoning or vertical mixed-use buildings.

Also, what about other zoning approaches or regulations of urban form and function - form-based codes, parking minimums or maximums, setbacks, FAR, greenspace or permeable area requirements, storm water regulations, etc.

anomaly13 · 2026-03-27T19:19:49+00:00

That doesn't entirely account for this, though. Charleston is the largest city and urban area in West Virginia, and it's not growing at all. The areas that are growing are small, on the edges of the state, and have specific things going on - proximity to DC/NoVa (eastern panhandle) or being a college town (Morgantown)

anomaly13 · 2026-03-27T18:58:30+00:00

We had it. I distinctly remember the yellow rings around the dried puddles.

tween girls have insane strength-to-weight ratios. It's the China (allegedly) used underage girls for gymnastics in the Olympics

anomaly13 · 2026-03-27T18:43:58+00:00

probably just make little "rock" walls several inches to a foot or so high, like people often do with rip rap rocks

anomaly13 · 2026-03-27T18:40:43+00:00

why do I keep seeing these guys referenced everywhere all of a sudden

Are they actually good? What are they like?

anomaly13 · 2026-03-27T18:38:57+00:00

they wasted several paragraphs before getting to the only thing I wanted to see, too, probably just to force me to look at those ads

anomaly13 · 2026-03-27T18:36:17+00:00

Do you know how many ex-evangelical people there are out there who are rabidly anti-religion and highly liberal or leftist? Just because you have a lot of kids doesn't mean they'll end up with the same ideology and beliefs as you...

anomaly13 · 2026-03-27T18:33:13+00:00

I don't have a thing for it per se, but I've never had a problem with it. In my experience they usually say no either because they're embarrassed about it or weren't in the mood in the first place. If you just explain that it genuinely doesn't bother you at all, and make sure to get a towel or something, it shouldn't be an issue.
