@steady_drumbeat His starting assumptions are just unknowable projections of what he cares about onto a hypothetical civilization with technology and means beyond our understanding. How can that be considered an argument?

@DPearsonPHL @jongeeting As if the dogshit politics of omar arent enough you are simping for someone that skipped out on doing the job so they could scam people like you

[John @this_seagull]

@DPearsonPHL @jongeeting Complaining they use dsa as a slur and then specifically naming cori bush is like yeah no shit any serious political organization isnt going to agree with you.

@aGuyOnMyPhone @TheLastNeocon it's like 10 unknowable, unreasonable assumptions on top of each other lol. oh and if you dont work in ai the gods, er i mean 'real' civilization doesnt care about you

@MonsieurBobo @quantian1 realistically this is why the simulation stuff is dumb, you have to assume that 'posthumans' eventually develop unlimited computing power *and* that you know what they would want to do with it. How could we possibly know either one of those things? it's religion for morons

[John @this_seagull]

@estherzelda0514 I think it gets ignored because once you get into the why it's a *lot* harder to make people sympathetic to palestinians, so 'activists' have huge incentives to not acknowledge at all

One thing urbanists/YIMBYs/transit/safe streets advocates should be doing urgently:

Blowing the lid off the MASSIVE grift machine that sucks funding for housing, transit,!safe streets into $250,000 salaries for consultants to do "surveys" w questions like:

"Do you like sunburn"

@PhillyGov they used to believe most republicans would hear the Sanders stump speech and become hardcorse DSA members, but it feels like theyve given up on anything but winning primaries and deep blue urban races

@BenjySarlin Socialism means there are a small number of companies/people that are viciously hoarding all the wealth, but will never move or really do anything to preserve it. No, its not supposed to actually make sense

[John @this_seagull]

@JohnnyWalsh__ Probably the most boring part of the DSA, no one cares that the numbers dont add up, just keep chanting the slogans about taxing the rich

[John @this_seagull]

@bigseb31213 Its not really that many but Im shocked it seems to take 5 to 6 hundred people a day with a once a day schedule

@constans swathes of tokyo not having physical sidewalks or even the painted ones was really interesting to me, doubly so since Japanese politeness seems to end when they get behind the wheel

[John @this_seagull]

@mcbyrne @DPearsonPHL what sort of privacy are you expecting when youre out in public? (surveillance is good anyway)

[John @this_seagull]

@Contra_Flash I think hes a bit too smart to try conquering the heights but support for giving up the golan is probably right around 0% in syria

[John @this_seagull]

@TheStalwart very funny to make up a definition of yimby that no one else uses and then cry when people point out your post doesnt make sense

[John @this_seagull]

@CentristMadness so they will immediately go crazy anywhere near people, but we're supposed to be concerned about big pharma bringing them back? "fascinating" indeed

[John @this_seagull]

@jmhorp Averaging entire states is going to seriously understate price changes where people actually are trying to buy houses

[John @this_seagull]

@gayafhoe ‘liberals’ not giving republicans an extra senate vote is them getting dunked on?

[John @this_seagull]

@sp6runderrated considering how much zohran talks about arresting putin and that war, i think the lesson they will take away is "dont be jewish"

[John @this_seagull]

@constans Main issue with this is dsa does not actually want to be like the nordic countries people hail as successful socialism
