> I’m happily married

But is your wife?

> What I truly want is a party that is sexist/anti LGBTQ but not racist.

Trying to have your disgusting cake and eat it too?

I don't love this pattern either, but where is the "magic" in the article?

Yes, I know. But few people are aware of this history; it doesn't change what I said.

Oh that definitely exists. I've bought a bag of THC chips before.

The word "jaywalking" is often used colloquially to refer to crossing the street anywhere that isn't a controlled crossing; it's not always strictly referring to the law.

> a failure on the part of the professionals whose responsibility the planning and implementation of this is.

Don't forget the short-sighted NIMBYism.

Even after being specifically told that running was ok?

Yeah let's bring back Dreamweaver.

It's exactly what I expected, which is not a compliment.

> my own generated comics

For certain values of "my own".

This is what potlucks are for.

> "Fertility rate" is a bit confusing

It's just a term of art with a longstanding specific meaning, just like any other term of art. No one even passingly familiar with the topic would be confused by it here.

It's not just a scene; it's the whole premise of the setting. It's why the Galactica survived and the newer ships did not. It's why the new Vipers got wiped out and they had to pull the old ones out of mothballs.

In the pilot, the Galactica was literally being turned into a museum, and that's why they lived.

Or, as the old joke goes:

> Psychology is really biology; biology is really chemistry; chemistry is really physics; physics is really math; and math is really hard.

> but this setup is certainly better than eliminating public restrooms entirely.

Of course. Isn't that what they're for?

That is exactly the point you are responding to. There is no such thing as "safe shock levels".

This is just Taser(tm) all over again.

I agree wholeheartedly with your first sentence here. But I find it difficult to think of a worse example you could have picked than taxis. For all Uber's many faults, the taxi companies were worse. Hell they're still worse.

Are you old enough to remember the bad old days?

a) This was probably just a typo for "being".

b) Hey but at least you can learn something today: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habitual_be

This hasn't been the case for years.

Apple Messages.

> Why do these systems hold onto user's data post verification?

Depending on the company, you could rate the reasons on a scale from "incompetence/naivete" to "revenue stream".

For now.

If you don't want to use ~~social media~~ any website that could contain content deemed as "adult".

And what's "adult"? Hardcore pornography? Sex ed material? Otherwise-G-rated content that happens to have a gay person in it?

Far be it from me to defend Uber of all things, but pre-rideshares, the taxi companies were - and still are - much, much worse.

I've begun to realize we now live in a time where there are a lot of adults who are too young to remember the bad old days. Are you one of those people? Because the taxi companies absolutely made their bed. Be careful of rose-colored glasses.

Surely this is a dark joke.

People need to eat, dude.

The same thing you do now when you can't sell a piece of land: you lower the price.

In addition to what others said, in this case the land is obviously not worth very much, and thus the taxes are also minuscule.

The point of LVT is right there in the name: it is the land that has value. "Location, location, location" is an old cliche for a reason.

If you let your property go empty and crumble, the Land Value Tax is there to provide the incentive for you to either fix up the property and actually use it, or sell it to someone who will.

And the part you didn't understand is that all the marketing in the world won't matter if the audience barely - or doesn't - exist.
