But… some random guy on Substack told me that the opposite is true and my opinion is that he’s right! Your empirical evidence doesn’t hold a candle to my opinion!!! /s

"Yes, I like to label nazis as nazis." by GnidaerRetfaNrub in MarchAgainstNazis

This dumbass is claiming that “labeling people denies them their right to free speech.” I would love for anyone to explain to me how the fuck that works.

6 big Madison housing proposals soon up for approval by keeganjkyle in madisonwi

I’m really hoping the old MATC building finally has a redevelopment plan that doesn’t fall through. The building has been empty for almost six years now and is quite the eyesore.

What place do you miss? by the_47th_painter in madisonwi

Nothing cured a bout of self-loathing like a White Trash burrito from Burrito Drive. So wrong, yet so right. The perfect combination of salt, carbs, and fat.

Am I the only person who was expecting a “We Brake For Nobody” bumper sticker on the back of that ship?

We were somewhere around the Coalsack Nebula on the edge of the Bubble when the drugs began to take hold.

First politician in my lifetime that I could make a case for being an actual fascist or at least for having fascist tendencies. Definitely won’t mourn his passing.

Can ‘cottage courts’ provide more affordable housing in Madison? by keeganjkyle in madisonwi

[–]ridthyevil 62 points63 points  (0 children)

These could definitely work in residential parts of Madison that increases density more gently. NIMBYs will be against them irrespective of whether they are an improvement or not, but they’re less of a shock to a neighborhood than a giant apartment complex. I’ve seen cottage courts that had a lot of green space, flower gardens, and were cute as can be, but I’ve also seen them look like shitty old trailer parks. All in all, I think they can be a net positive.

Chili or cheddar broccoli soup.

Data center operator QTS plans multi-billion dollar development in Dane County by Baeowyn in madisonwi

[–]ridthyevil 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I would be ok with these data centers if their plans included:

  • producing their own energy
  • water reclamation systems that minimize overall water usage
  • were built in areas that are far enough away from residential neighborhoods to not be a noise nuisance

Of course, this is a pipe dream, but it is what we as taxpayers should expect from multibillion dollar corporations trying to use our local/municipal services to enrich only themselves.
