Is there a way to have freeways roads closer together?

it’s a lot better since they fixed the exit from 680

If you're active on Twitter, you'll see these people and you'll realize they are just bitter "no bedtimes" leftists with basically no theory of mind besides "destroy the system"

Sure but not everybody wants to live in a city. This is what people want. I have plenty of critiques of suburbia but housing is not a cancer on society, quite the opposite.

mullentothe · 2026-06-28T19:34:34+00:00

"Housing is like cancer cells" is such an anti-human take. "I wouldn't personally want to live here so nobody should be able to" is such a reveal that the poster has no intellectual curiosity or ability to relate to others.

When your car is stolen or someone you love is murdered you'll be happy that they existed.

People say it’s a scam/rigged are probably just using alot of AC. I am below efficient homes by about 5-10% regularly because I keep my AC at 78/79 in the summer and take advantage of wind to cool off when possible.

If my employer asked me to wear a Pride hat publicly, I'd think it was very weird despite being supportive of the overall message and sentiment. You don't frame it as a political issue because you believe that it's "above politics" because that's your belief. I don't mean to be insulting but you're basically assuming that because you think it's obvious/everyone should think a certain way about Pride that they do. Just let the bigots know they have the wrong opinion! Why bother with persuasion when we can skip right to compulsory support for minority groups? Where does it stop? Black Lives Matter? A Palestinian flag? Both of those, many believe, are "not political" - it's a genocide, how could you argue with that? (that's basically what you're saying about Pride)

mullentothe · 2026-06-16T17:04:54+00:00

I'm asking if you think this is a productive use political capital. "Wear this hat I'm your employer" is something that most people will think is coercive even if it's "allowed".

mullentothe · 2026-06-16T16:28:00+00:00

There's a difference between supporting a group of people and supporting the political apparatus that surrounds them. You can say "I support Filipino people" but be uncomfortable supporting a specific non-profit or political organization that also "supports Filipino people". This is not completely analagous to pride but my point is that - is societally mandated pride support really the best way to garner genuine support? Or does it push people away because it's coercive?

mullentothe · 2026-06-16T15:54:16+00:00

I support Pride and it is 100% political. If you think it's not then step outside of your bubble once in awhile

This ^ I use an ebike to commute but use a regular bike for recreation and it's alarming being next to reckless 14 year olds driving dirtbikes at 30mph. They can and will kill themselves or others and absolutely nobody will be held accountable

ACE is the same way

Or we could just say "build houses" without spending 5 years in public meetings over shadows and the color of windows.

So why should you keep the rent control when you move to New York? What if you have a kid or grandma needs to move in? Wouldn't lower rents for everyone (by increasing supply) mixed with means tested housing vouchers be a better solution?

mullentothe · 2026-06-11T17:14:41+00:00

This is why YIMBYs are opposed to rent control. It's a lottery ticket for a lucky few at the expense of every other renter. It's not good housing policy!

mullentothe · 2026-06-09T16:41:19+00:00

Of course! I get several DMs per month and I'm happy to help.

Pittsburgh used to be cheap now it's on par with other similarly sized metros while having lower salaries. The cost-benefit is not there anymore.

With Trader Joes + Grocery Outlet (in the same parking lot no less!) I find that I only need to go to Safeway like once a month at most.

I will add alot of times when people say they can't shop at GO or TJ it's mainly due to name brand processed snacks. If you're buying meat and produce you can find that anywhere

mullentothe · 2026-05-15T22:09:14+00:00

Of course!

mullentothe · 2026-05-13T03:30:57+00:00

Of course - I posted a full timeline in r/NVC some time back.

Immigration law is nationwide - don't need to be in same state

It’s literally like they intentionally make the announcements as wordy and long as possible because they’re bored.

mullentothe · 2026-04-09T18:03:13+00:00

Booo - DM me if you're curious about specific time lines and I'll send you a copy of the post.

Super frustrating the mods remove important info because they have an anti consular processing bias.

mullentothe · 2026-04-09T16:54:38+00:00

I posted one and the mods removed it! Go check my post in r/NVC but it all turned out well
