Theres a lot of people that pretend the opposite, as well. We are all biased towards the thing we like. Its obvious cities are popular, because they are expensive. Its also obvious suburbs are popular, because they alsoare axpensive.

What people mostly wish is that more city could be built, becausethe demand forcity living is still highar than that for suburbs.

Automation and process improvenent are key skills. The less time spent staying alive, the more time living

As a software engineer, skills I think I could contribute are systems design, debuging, writing software, and also trash pickup on the back af the truck. I’d be happy to help build software tools that help people actually enjoy life, and also I eon’t mind pitching in to my community.

They are comparing roman concrete to portland cement, the most common formula. The kind of strength being emphasized is durability, because roman concrete has unique chemistry that allows small cracks to fill themselves. Modern special-purpose concrete blends can outperform roman concrete in other measures of strength, however.

Hexbear is known for trolling, regardless of their political stance, unless there is a material analysis that pig poop balls advances the cause somehow.

Blocking chapo and news was really good for me.

Programing is a lot less important than people and team dynamics

Whoa, hey, I just came back to this post and saw your edit. I’m really impressed by the way you listened to feedback and icorporated it in your stance.

And hey, these behaviours and the industries supporting them are really damaging. And fightinig those industries will require individuals to change behaviour. If we take action to live car free now, then dismantling the fossil fuel industry won’t affect us as much later.

Lets assume one dairy farm serves 2000 people. In order to limit the emissions from the farm, you must either regulate the farm, or convince 2000 people to give up dairy.

In your time as an advocate, how many people have you convinced to give up dairy? How long would it take to convice all dairy consumers?

Making a policy out of this introduces a choice in enforcement tho:

is it more feasible to make sure every individual brings their own flatware, or is it more feasible to make sure taco bell doesn’t stock flatware?

A lot of the time, these things boil down to supply side vs demand side, and regulating the supply side ends up being the better choice.

The things i’ve been reading/listenig too is that we should be replacing simple carbs with paani protiens and fiber. In every case, the people mention that American diets should reduce intake over all and macros is secondary

So, the professor gives you the knowledge to fully leverage it and take it in any direction.

Your friend gives you a single option that might help.

The Indian guy presents a straightforward path to a solution you might not want?

It’s not really good to compare the different situations of information sharing, because they have different goals. The professor isn’t needlessly complicating it, they are giving you fundamentals to build on.

My baseball team plays God Bless America during the seventh stretch, and people stand up for that, and then make comments when I don’t. I’m a vet, and I only stand for the star spangled because people make even more comments. I did my duty, I’m done with jingoistic bullshit

In January 1968, a progressive faction was able to gain control of the government in communist Czechoslovakia. They proceeded to liberalize the country. Czech media was allowed to be critical of Soviet-style communism for the first time, and many restrictions on individuals were eased. This was called the “Prague Spring”

Fearing a weakened position in the cold war and a spreading desire for liberal reforms in other countries, the Soviet Union, with the aid of other Warsaw Pact countries, invaded Czechoslovakia in order to install a more friendly regime and bring the country back in line with Soviet policy.

For many western communists and socialists, this was the final nail in the coffin for support of Soviet-style communism. A small minority, however, supported the action. They were labeled as “tankies” because of the imagery of tanks rolling in to Czech cities.

Today, “tanky” is used to label a spectrum of people. At one end are those who have large support for marxist-lenninist/marxist-lenninist-stalinist/marxist-lenninist-maoist Communism (different philosophies of how to accomplish a communist revolution) at one extreme. At another end are people who support the current Russian or Chinese governments because they oppose American imperialism. Most of those people do not really identify as “tankies”. The current usage also doesn’t really relate to the original, as most people don’t have a stance on the Soviet response to the Prague Spring today.

Lemmy.ml is understood to be friendly to marxist-lenninist thought, since the founders subscribe to that philosophy. Thus, users of the instance are often labeled as “tankies”.

Shipping can certainly be made much less impactful, if that’s what you are thinking. A lot of shipping is overland trucking, and a lot of overland trucking can be replaced with trains, and a lot of trains can be replaced with electrified trains. That would make quite a bit of difference

Dark humor is humor generated from your own pain.

Edgy humor is humor generated from the pain of others.

The first one is funny, the second is boring and shitty
