I like having Siri in my car when she works. Like when my phone properly wirelessly connects. But when it doesn’t, I hate it, and would be better without it.

Also why the hell can’t CarPlay use the radio, when the car has a radio. Why can’t those two things talk to each other. Fucking dumb.

I have a rule regarding what packages I allow myself to use. I must be able to re-write whatever functionality I’m using in the package. That way when it doesn’t work as expected, I either write my own, or debug their code.

Zoning reforms sound great.

One of my biggest issues with increasing housing is that many Americans store their wealth in their house. Home ownership is the retirement plan for many, or the generational wealth plan. So how can we build housing without devaluing existing housing?

The answer is to build more multi-family housing, which doesn’t really compete with single family housing for price. The former is mostly for rent, while the later is for owning.

I desperately want to know which of my opinions are outright wrong. Not just lacking nuance, but wrong

It will absolutely help with high property values. It will help them go higher. Same with student debt forgiveness.

For the record, I’m in favor of both

Unironically hope Kamala watergated him and gets away with it

But why

This is dumb as rocks

The most charitable interpretation is “well crocodiles didn’t change in the last 100 million years but birds did so that means maybe crocs are closer since birds evolved to get farther away”

That’s dumb because both birds and crocodiles have been changing the whole time. Just because crocs look more similar to their fossils, doesn’t mean they haven’t been evolving/drifting/etc.

Same thing any time someone talks about “sharks haven’t changed”. It’s dumb.

This is some dunning Kruger shit.

So it has to be Shapiro.

Way harder to do when you aren’t the sitting president

Taco Bell still has $1.25 bean and rice burritos where I live. It’s like 400 calories so it’s a pretty good deal.

In my country there was like 10 wonderful years when almost nobody smoked.

In the last 5-10 years all that got reversed by vaping, it’s everywhere now. Not as bad as smoking though.

I want to buy an old police cruiser (crown Vic) and chop it up into a rally car, and do the gambler 500.

Why do they think it’s necessary to fill every area with music

It should be ok for places to be quiet. If employees want music they should wear headphones. That way they could listen to what they want too.

Any policy can disproportionately affect the birth rate of one group vs another. Is improving abortion access eugenics? Is incentivizing having children via the tax code eugenics because those incentives are stronger for some groups compared to others? Is for-profit healthcare eugenics because it makes it more difficult for poor folks to safely have children? Are fossil fuels eugenics because they lead to higher infant mortality in poorer industrial areas?

No, none of those things are eugenics

I agree.

By that argument, the lower rate of reproduction is western countries is eugenics, since it’s a consequence of policy (education).

Actually one of the best things that poor folks can do to escape generational poverty, is to have fewer kids. That way, kids inherit a larger share of their grandparents assets, and more can be passed down. Generational land ownership, for example, is extremely powerful. Fewer children per family also lowers the financial burden of education, enabling better education for comparatively fewer people. That’s not eugenics, it’s smart family planning.

RIP tuvix. Wrong call on that one. He deserved to live.

I think you should get more votes if you DONT have children. And the government should give out free sterilizations, and if you can prove you’re sterilized you get to take paternity leave twice.
