>In the nation’s 20 least affordable markets, our analysis of 3,083 low-income housing projects from 1996 to 2006 found no significant effect on home values located near a low-income housing project, with a few exceptions.

Talk about cherry picked years. Why don't they analyse from 1998 to 2008 and say the same thing? Did it really take until 2020 to post this?

>Of the 20 markets examined, Denver was the only metro area where homes located near low-income housing projects registered a positive effect in terms of price per square foot after a project was completed.

And the absence of serious, critical thought. Has trulia never heard of correlation vs causation?

Do you have a study where it shows what happens over a longer period of time? The period of 1996-2006 is very suspect too.

The judge let him go because he told me he needed a licence for driving the amphibious vehicle and he wouldn't be able to do it if he got a DUI so it was dismissed, but hes told me about screaming camel spiders I googled and called him out on. I don't think he lied about that one though but I'm just rehashing what he told me.

I think that is what the national guard does but I am not sure. Many people join for a few years and leave. The coolness was just my perception. Depending on what job such as arabic translator it could be seen very much as responsibility.

Is Joshua “Strotnium” David a children's idol? I bet most kids never heard of him. Unless they're getting pewdiepie to tell people to join the navy this seems like reaching too far.

>I know I sure as hell wasn't mature enough at 18 or even a decade later to be in a position where I could be deciding to kill someone in combat

You could easily be a non combatant, and most are not combatants jobs. Its one of the greatest misconceptions of the military. Wars and battles only occur during a failure of diplomacy and negotiation.

So high school athletes are what most gamers are?

Depends where you live, I know someone who joined to remove a DUI, my cousin was not poor and just wanted discipline before joining a biotech phd program with the military paying for it. Poor kids are not online for hours on twitch, they are caring for their other siblings while their parents are at work, and probably playing or helping with homework, not watching hours of their favorite US military streamer play CoD.

Many (gamers) are fit enough to do two minutes of push-ups, two minutes of sit-ups, and a two-mile timed run?

People think military is cool, even those who are against the military are donned in milspic gear and want to train with their tactics. Twitch makes it cooler. I don't understand why its so upsetting, I thought the military was cool before they were on twitch, before I watched movies on them just because as a kid I thought they were strong ant powerful people that excelled at war, kill or be killed. Military gets great treatment and I don't see what the problem is. Do we consider action figures of GI Joe a recruitment problem?

>I had just reminded viewers of the United States’ history of atrocities around the globe, and helpfully provided a link to the Wikipedia page for US war crimes.

Can you name any military that hasn't done anything wrong? Not unique to any military

>The practices employed on Twitch by military e-sports teams are part of a system by which recruiters target children in unstable and/or disadvantaged situations. Recruiters take advantage of the poor seeking steady income, the vulnerable longing for stability, and the undocumented living in fear because of their citizenship status. Now, at a time when all those factors are magnified by a pandemic that has left half the country out of work and over 30 percent unable to afford their housing payments, conditions are ripe for recruiters to prey on anxious youth.

Prey on anxious youth? Seriously, it's like they assume nobody wants to join the military for any reason, if it wasn't for the pandemic. Giving young disadvantaged kids discipline when their parents don't isn't bad. The article brings up military sexual trauma and suicide as if that is not going to happen anywhere but the military, or if its a normal thing. I have family in the military, in fact that is how my family immigrated to the US due to a great uncle serving in the military.

>“Twitch is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced in my career, and it’s because you’re live for hours on end, talking to these people in the chat. You develop a community and know your individual chatters. There is an ecosystem in every Twitch channel,” Piker said. “Recruiting in this predatory way is a violation of [the users’] safety.”

Seriously? You can find that kind of community on chaturbate or any of the sex streaming sites.

Hi, sorry I am not sure what you consider nationalistic, or a flamewar. I am not solely criticizing the east, in another post I consider the US stuck in the 50s. I have family in China+HK and do not like the cultural values now. What would have been a better way to post that? I think the comment is relevant in a thread about Huawei and 5g and why people are pushing back against China.

My point is that the Japanese population ebbs and flows, but that was old news and I am wrong now about the years.

This doesn't have that much substance in the article. I hope that you haven't heard of the entropic theory of the brain, its one of the most fascinating theories and its very exciting! https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnhum.2014.0002... https://mind-foundation.org/entropy-as-more-than-chaos/

You seem interested in this subject, I found this to be very interesting. tl;dr they may wake people out of comas with psychedelics. https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnhum.2014.0002...

There are exercise pants for women that have a transparent tight netting/mesh on the legs that run the entire length, and are tight against the skin. I think they are much better for objects that are not rigid.

How are they irrelevant? The reason there are countries that developed and became first world countries is precisely because they used fossil fuels. Preventing other countries from doing the same for the sake of protecting the environment (which by the way is never in stasis) is simply condemning people to poverty, disease, basically to cripple poor nations. It seems very nationalistic under the guise of protecting the environment.

>undoing emissions from 1850-2020 would require more than the total biomass of the entire planet.

So we created more carbon than existed? Are you familiar with the fact that matter and energy is neither created nor destroyed? Carbon existed before as animals and other biomass, and you are saying now that the total biomass of the planet is not enough and we generated CO2 from thin air?

>It is also important to note that, even if it was physically possible to solve this problem in this way, you can tell it isn’t economical to do so, because if it was we’d already have fully (not partially) replaced fossil fuels with biofuels.

The dearman engine is zero emissions refrigeration truck, and runs on nitrogen. It is not being adopted into more developed countries despite being better, because of legacy vehicles. There are many reasons why biofuel hasn't taken off in the US but in many other countries it has.

So making more expensive technology for carbon capture is more economical? The problem they solved then was not fuel recycling, it was carbon capture. You can look it up (I'm on mobile) and state the issues with it. Even at the cost of $50 a tree, its 50 billion to stop worrying about carbon emissions.

Have you listened to Freeman Dyson talk about this matter? I call it a problem mainly because it's dealt with as an issue. Why is a billion trees short? What is it short of? The kind of person who likes carbon taxes would prefer their use even if carbon dioxide had no effect on the environment. It again is a control for small developing countries to be overburdened, while the developed counties can happily use their advanced energy creation while the poor remain poor and in stasis. Freeman mentions that global warming is not the same evil as poverty, hunger and disease which are greater problems. Another posted mentioned using fancy expensive contraptions to capture carbon. We have trees that do everything naturally without the need of silicon valley or other tech companies to make advanced expensive methods to capture carbon when the natural means does everything we need. Because of the issues with the energy grid, they've been giving away LEDs and other energy saving devices to help us use less energy. I'd say that electronics use has gone up but electricity for them hasn't since we use smartphones a lot more. Air conditioners are still the worst offender for overuse of energy.

Trees do air capture and storage, they slowly and naturally capture CO2, and you can even turn them into "biochar". Blue carbon would just acidify oceans, a much worst case.

The kind of person that is pro carbon credit would prefer it even if carbon had no effects on the weather.

So have the Irish, Chinese, and Italians. What does the crimes of others of the same race have to do with it?

The other person is correct, they are placeholders.

Is the only usage of land for crop growth?

It isn't about just fertility, it can have other uses, and its also possible to make it more fertile (although it is a poor choice as farmland). Las Vegas for example is very inhospitable, as was the ancient Persepolis.

The answer to that problem was already solved then: plant a billion trees or something to that degree and there will be no excess carbon.

>As one example, enough CO2 will noticeably harm your intellect, and there is enough unburned carbon in the world to make us all dull-minded.

Has IQ been going down due to that? Is that theoretical? Seems like improper breathing is a larger issue, and people in cities with worst local air have higher IQs than those in rural areas. Seems at best a non factor.

What is bad about it for people? Do we not live in diverse climates already?

I also don't like how they detail every sex crime a sexual assault. It's very confusing to know xx needs 50k for bail and yy needs 2k both for sexual assault which ranges greatly from groping to rape.

I don't think he's wrong. Society has expectations and throwing money to buy things works. I don't have Uber and Lyft and that puts me at margins with society. Does that mean they're essential apps? Making life difficult and annoying is just how many people without money live.

Sent my friend to a wrong location as recently as a year ago. Won't chance that again. This is in Chicago not corn field in middle of nowhere.

Won't use it after it sent my friend to a wrong location and won't use it after it gave me bad coordinates. New iOS will let you change defaults don't remember if it has maps to swap.

Why? More usable land in Canada and Russia. Is that all there is?

Is CO2 emissions a large issue in global warming? When I was a little kid, I was wondering why having a greenhouse effect was bad for plants since we put them in greenhouses. I've been convinced by years that people smarter than me thought it was bad and I wasn't smart enough to understand. Freeman Dyson changed my mind when I saw his interviews, detailing how CO2 has gone up a lot but it hasn't greatly increased the temperature, how it's good for vegetation growth and diversity, and how the climate models are just fluid dynamics and they don't show the full picture. I've heard of a lot of FUD on it but what he says makes sense to me. I don't see a reason to worry about it when there are bigger issues, ocean acidification is a much larger world worry. None of the lower carbon emission agreements are binding either, which shows how seriously they take it. Elites simply want to use it as a control for slowing developing countries under the guise of "saving the world".

We've changed the environment with buildings, cities, America used to have skies blackened by passenger pigeons so you could shoot a shotgun randomly at the sky and kill a bunch, turtles used to roam freely until the great depression caused everyone to eat them. Mao told everyone to kill the birds until their crops were devastated by insects and they had to import them back. This is not doomsday. The fossils we use for fuel used to live in a much more diverse and warm climate.
