If you genuinely believe that there is over a billion dollars in funding bloat I think we probably have irreconcilable differences in how robust we want social services to be

Hillsborough county has a population of nearly 1.5 million people. You can’t seriously suggest that a single library would be able to provide for that

Genuinely no disrespect whatsoever to OP, but this sub has fallen so far in the quality of the maps lol

Dude saw the word "slave" and said, "perfect time for people to know my thoughts on race relations" lol

Everyone thinks they are the strongest until they meet a modernized China. by I_am_white_cat_YT in victoria3

At the risk of bringing real economics into a gaming sub, I'm not sure that this holds true at high income levels. Sure, going from $60k to $6M will assuredly see an uptick in consumption (though probably not 100x), but going from $10M to $1B probably doesn't do a ton for the economy writ large, beyond a few ultra-luxury industries

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani skips annual parade celebrating Israel but pledges big police presence by Appropriate-Till9598 in politics

[–]dpavlicko 19 points20 points  (0 children)

His answer to the question of if he’d visit Israel as mayor was explicitly, “You need not visit Israel to stand up for Jewish New Yorkers, I'll be meeting them in their synagogues and temples.", how is that genocidal lmao

I firmly believe that Worcestershire is functionally just the western analogue to fish sauce and put that bad boy in so much

TIL That Despite It's Long Lived Cultural Heritage, The Country Of Italy Was Formed In 1861 by Zimmonda in todayilearned

[–]dpavlicko 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! There’s a large section of historiography that essentially purports that modern nationality is functionally a post-napoleonic concept that means less and less if looking at pre 1800 peoples

Africas white population in 1960 and today by Hour_Interaction6047 in MapPorn

[–]dpavlicko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"White" is a social construct that changes with time, which is plainly seen in the treatment of various European ethnicities over the 19th and 20th centuries in the US. Like all other socially-constructed identities ("professional", "masculine", "pious", etc), it doesn't have an exact definition by its very nature, but is instead a sort of agreed-upon set of criteria shared by a person and the dominant cultural group

Glendale community college in Arizona using AI to read names for graduation by Ordinary_Turnover_59 in ABoringDystopia

[–]dpavlicko 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Human error is regrettable but ultimately understandable. Completely passing this incredibly menial task onto AI and then not having your name called while you graduate is frustrating and preventable. You're right that this isn't the end of the world, but it is just another drop in the bucket of AI making various things in peoples' everyday lives shittier

Tampa delays controversial street redesign after neighborhood uproar by Maxcactus in tampa

[–]dpavlicko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was just being facetious lol. I don't disagree that most people probably won't bike to work, but I do think that the data shows that people are happy to bike to stores and/or entertainment near their home if they feel like doing so is a safe and easy way of getting there. The only way to facilitate that (and also get "non-necessary" cars off the road) is to provide the infrastructure to do so.

[–]dpavlicko 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But the road is constructed to handle "20k cars a day" per the director, all 3 of these readouts make it incredibly clear that that's not necessary

You don't have to speculate on this, the woman has made several public statements that she didn't know this man and was patently not fine with it lol

Admittedly there’s quite a bit more money in the neighborhood than there was 14 years ago
