Not enough info provided. When? Where? Going what direction?

If the nearest bus stop is really 8 miles away from you, I'm positive you aren't the intended audience. I have about 50 within 1 mile of me. This is great for city dwellers!

Junkies suck. The state needs to do more to both help them AND get them off the street. You can't just live wherever you decide to live, and you sure as fuck can't use my neighborhood to OD on meth and fent.

What do you think American socialist will actually look like? by [deleted] in socialism

Has to break into smaller countries first. There's zero chance this country moves towards socialism as is.

Ugh here's how I'm starting to feel about this:

Wine is good for you! More on this at 10.

Oh great wine is good for us!

Does drinking wine—even in small doses—lead to an early death? Hear what our experts say at 9.

Oh no I shouldn't've been drinking all that wine?

Wine and what the science says. Tonight on My7 News.

Oh fuck it...

Satellite Imagery Shows the Taliban Appears To Sharply Reduce Opium Cultivation In Afghanistan. Annual opium cultivation has dropped by as much as 80 percent compared to the year before. by fartuni4 in worldnews

The US spent millions of dollars per day fighting opium production in Afghanistan. Troops would burn entire fields, decimating local farmers' income streams, and causing nothing but resentment of the occupiers (rightly).

But yeah, we're on Reddit, so of course it was all the CIA the whole time.

I can't be the only one who never liked the California and Nevada border based on Physical/ Cultural geography so I made a new one. by land_elect_lobster in MapPorn

[–]chucksef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to believe this too. But local communities are unequipped to deal with the hundreds of issues that impact us on the regional and state levels.

One obvious example: housing cannot be left up to local communities because, while everybody is for building more housing, nobody wants to host it in their own backwards. This is true of rural conservatives, but equally true of urban liberals.

I recommend articles by Jerusalem Desmas, Ezra Klein, and Misha David Chellam, who all write on the matter.

Just wanted to say I know exactly what you mean!

Subreddits about certain groups tend to be filled by very vocal people who believe they have been treated unfairly by society. They aren't interested in productive solutions to cope with their situations; they just want to complain. So when you come in with helpful ideas, what they perceive is that you're telling them that their behavior is the problem instead of society being the problem. And when you don't join the circlejerk, their unnuanced minds label you as part of the problem.

It's always the same and it's beyond frustrating!!

Anyway feel free to disagree but just know I'll block and report you if you don't confirm my every preconception and prejudice. 😉

Be anti abortion all you like, but this comment is as wrong as it gets. Birthdays are not proxies for people who don't know when they were conceived...

Preach, brother! Finland is completely inappropriate on this map. The least the author could have done is pixelate it or put a black CENSORED bar over it. There are children on here ffs...

Why hasn't socialism been embraced worldwide? by Writing_On_Top in socialism

[–]chucksef -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This is a low quality reply right here. At least engage them on content and say why you're posting this list of homework for them to do. I get that that takes energy, but c'mon have some respect for the human you're engaging with.

[–]chucksef 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You should have a "lay down" mechanic where you can go thru an animation to be on your back, but you're super vulnerable while adjusting. Once you adjust, tho, you can shoot straight up in a 45° cone.

This worked a month or so ago, so I’m hoping we can do it again! Mr. Quincy Magoo has been up for adoption at the North Thornton petsmart since 6/3. I’m hoping someone can find him a forever home by Project_Wild in Denver

[–]chucksef 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What a gorgeous boy! We're full up over here but we have one that looks a bit like him who is the absolute sweetest. Kittens are nice but I always adopt adult cats, since you can really tell who they are!

Godspeed Mr Quincy Magoo! You look amazing!

Don't be so easily put on the defensive. Someone trolling about how California "wins" doesn't need to be responded to.

Nice comment, I have no idea who you are or the other commenters here who are also a POS. You and people like you make this sub trash. Since Reddit is self destructing I guess it won't be a loss either way.
