Dude, the guys term is up early next year… Can’t just wait 8 months?

Yeah adding a $30 fee specifically to electrics seems asinine, to the point that I’m hoping that is a misunderstanding on the part of the reporter. I don’t mind new fees, but new fees added to electrics that don’t get added to combustions seems regressive.

As for the per-mile charge, I like that and think it should apply to all vehicles. Flat fees don’t sufficiently or accurately compensate for road use, but a mileage charge does. People who are on the road all day should be paying more than people who only drive to get groceries, even if it’s for their job, because they put equivalently more wear on the system.

IMO Kotek has been mostly a lame duck, but these proposals aren’t bad. I would invert the 50-30-20 revenue split between state, county, and city because it’s almost always cities or counties that are creating and maintaining bike and transit infrastructure, while today the state’s largest initiatives are still highway expansions. Highways are so very money-hungry.

I think the idea that leftists infight too much is just apologia for tankie wrecker behavior, and the entire left shouldn’t have to shoulder the blame and reputation for them. In my own experience (As an anarchist) online spaces are the only place I ever get harassment from other leftists, and they’re always the hard ML types who don’t actually seem to share many common leftist values.

Oh OK, yeah. Good grief Chappelle is fucking intolerable these days. And I don’t think it’s all chalked up to him changing, I feel like cowriters kept him from punching down too hard back in the day.

Yeah I was just being cheeky. I have an account at a US credit union, they probably use my money in investments that touch BlackRock. I work for a US company and the health insurance I receive through them probably comingles with BlackRock assets at some point. I rent in a nice neighborhood, BlackRock’s involvement in rental price fixing has likely affected me monetarily in an indirect fashion.

If you’re an American and have any sort of pension or retirement fund, Blackstone likely has a piece of it.

Oh thank god, I’m safe.

Ozzy wrote songs about how powerful people send poor people to die in nonsensical wars.

He didn’t say that, and I don’t think he’d agree with any statements implying that he has been. The racist podcast jokes that surfaced during his SNL stint weren’t terribly defensible, but he’s never seemed like the type to cry cancel culture. I recall he shrugged off his SNL firing pretty quickly. Maybe he’s said otherwise more recently, I dunno.

FWIW his whole career arc seems like what would happen if SNL tried to hire Nick Mullen.

Lonely Mountains: Downhill is a low poly third person camera downhill mountain biking game in the spirit of Ski Free where you progress and unlock stuff by improving on your past runs in specific ways. Great vibes and a lot of fun to come back to repeatedly. Really captures that “sketchy” feeling of descending on single track.

Also shout out to front end js libraries that hijack and discard familiar default page rendering behavior in favor of asserting their own arbitrary, untrustworthy, and inferior render behaviors that break completely outside of chrome browser or with any extensions running, gotta be my least favorite gender.

Like how so many sites just fuckin come to a dead stop and reload completely if you click literally anything because the developer didn’t follow React design philosophy perfectly. Thanks a million, Facebook, so cool so cool.

Lol cheeky. Seriously though, that’s awesome and actually doesn’t sound too unhealthy in the long run. Gratz on the healthier bod!

I’m cheerin for ya.

Psssh IMO the concept of time itself is far less natural than the ADHD it molests.

Drink more water, get sufficient salt. This happens to me sometimes if I forget those and I’m a 6’/200lb dude. It’s pretty embarrassing having to sit down quickly on a diirty work floor to avoid slamming face first unconscious into said floor.

My unsolicited advice: Splurge on a bottle of multivitamins, take one with your rice meals. If you’re missing those vitamins and nutrients you’ll feel a positive difference within a few weeks.

Holy crap, what weight did you start at?

That’s fair. It’s their body, you have no say in what they do with it ;)

Have you considered that if you really want homeless people to have food, you can just buy them food?

Imagine being a fan of any CEO.
