Ive been called a nazi for liking firearms.
Meanwhile, I openly support antifa.
So im not sure this is completely accurate.

They bought a ton of real estate over the years.
Then places like Seattle were literally falling a part without the added cash cow of commuters stuck in bumper to bumper traffic for 16 hours of a workday.
Has anyone done the math on if Musk would give all his money away to all U.S. citizens how much would that be to each one?
Or even Musk, Gates and Bezos combined?
Update: A bot did the math: $723 and $1535 But after the cut from lawyers it should be about $8
Yall realize that it doesnt matter how many users on the platform say fuck spez.
But the fact that those users are still using the platform is what investors/shareholders care about.
If people really want to fuck spez, then they wouldnt be on reddit. But who am I kidding, these are the same people who said fuck myspace, fuck facebook, fuck twitter... and still have accounts on them.
A few decades ago I gave a manager 2 options to solve a problem for the company.
1st was to take a simple engineered approach with a dash of automation to keep our lives simple but I would have to push out previously set deadlines
2nd was to just ignore it until it gets so bad that his managers finally give in to hire someone else to do it and hope that it gets done right after I leave the project
He chose the 2nd. It never got solved. They ended up hiring a vendor who screwed it up and it took a volunteer using unpaid hours on threat of being fired to resolve it.
It was only a few years later he became CIO for a major tech company and I lost all hope in humanity.
I was permanently banned for reporting too many bots.
I appealed and it was reinstated but just proves the point of how bad the bot situation is there that a user reporting bots would get banned by an automated system.
Fucking clowns have no idea how to fix their shit and only adds more work.
Thats pretty much what is happening in Seattle.
Of places ive biked, it has to be the most pro car, bleeding edge of dying, designed by a moron area I have ever seen.
If you have trails its full of pedestrians, people with pets, homeless campers on the path and no clear markings for bicycles. So you end up weaving in and out making sharp turns and constantly having to slow down. Then theres the incomplete trails where you have to cross a parking lot, dirt lot, crossroad, some private property. Oh did I mention they have old railroad tracks that will really fuck with your tires and usually get stuck since some of them run parallel with the trail.
Then theres the city... where we occasionally have marked lanes but you better be comfortable getting close to drivers and hope that they have 360 cameras. The steep hills, heavy signage, usually distracting weather, heavy outsiders (usually first time visiting the city) and foreign drivers (have never driven in their life) are all a perfect storm to make any bicycle commuters life a living hell.
Finally we have the wonderful designated, cordoned off bike lanes... that really dont have barriers, usually just a flappy thing that has been ran over so many times no one really notices it. Delivery vehicles usually park in them because conveniently the city decided to leave the openings large enough for a vehicle to enter. You might get police, the occasional tourist parked in the lane too.
But hey! We are ranked one of the top bicycle cities in the U.S. and pride ourselves on force feeding that to everyone because we are a shining beacon of car/bicycle/pedestrian nirvana.
On one hand Im happy to see that dumpster fire ignite even more. Then on the other hand Im happy to see all those mods end up not being listened to and frustrated by those who have the power.
You reap what you sow, suckers.
Doesnt matter what we do as individuals when some nations Cough China Cough have entire fleets of state sanctioned and sponsored illegal fishing/trawling poachers.
You can literally watch hundreds of them gathered on the MarineTraffic app and thats only the ones being tracked.
They just go planet to planet like locusts consuming all the resources and then moving on. Whoops, got a little carried away there. But you get the idea.
Every day that we live with AI the more I realize they should be replacing our politicians and executives of major corporations.
I dont care if I have to bow to R2D2 one day, that sounds better than the dystopian hell hole we have now.
thanks for using Leebra!
