I'm not sure I agree this is the worse option. If the vehicle lane is away from the curb, they will have to cross into the cycle lane to park, which will be dangerous. As a frequent cyclist, I'd rather have control of entering the vehicle lane when it's safe rather than having inattentive vehicle drivers entering my lane all the time. Additionally, drivers are far more used to watching out when turning left than right, so having cyclists to the left may be safer at intersections.

Long-term it will be best to have raised cycle paths at sidewalk level but this may not be within the budget for the time being.

Regarding Mamdani I kind of doubt he'll implement this but the more publicity and pressure in favor of it, the more likely that will be. A lot of leftists seem very naive in believing politicians can do anything they want, but in reality they are at best merely negotiating concessions from the existing powers. This means they will have to choose some reforms to give up on. But public campaigns both push them to and empower them to make bigger changes, so this is the best lever of influence we have--even stronger than voting, imo.

The NYPD is very politically powerful so my assumption is he decided that was not a fight he could win and other priorities were more important. But who knows, we'll have to see how he governs to draw firmer conclusions about this.

Most people desire more liberation than merely not being a slave. This is a very unserious reply.

Real democracy is neither of these things.

What about cycling beer?

I would not be surprised if this is close to the truth. Straight lines are easier to draw so maybe that's why Musk came up with this garbage design.

What do you disagree with? Seems like it's just acknowledging the reality of where we are heading.

Me every time I call tech support. I feel so stupid.

I wish I could be this cozy when wet.

In some places it could be. Depends how anal the rangers want to be. They're basically cops so I'd say chance of a power trip is high.

Hilarious saga. I kinda enjoyed their downfall because they were a crow guy but people asked them about all kinds of nature questions and a lot of what they said outside of their expertise was wrong...

But me with the right answer was sitting with 2 upvotes while Unidan got 1000.

I don't think this is true. There is certainly a large degree of individual variation in animal behavior too, it's just not that well studied.

I had a professor who studied owls, which are usually highly monogamous. But there was one male who always tried to have two nests with two different females. It was hard for him because he had to hunt twice as much food, but for whatever reason that was what he felt like doing.

If that's true then call them genocide supporters of you like. But I agree that this word terrorist needs to be retired. It's way too nebulous and used almost exclusively to whitewash violence by states.

They both need to be fixed, or eliminated. Even if democrats were perfect, you can't have a functioning society that oscillates between sanity and insanity.

I don't mean elected officials. I mean us. You can't beat fascism by hoping someone else will fix things. Ordinary members of the populace need to start flexing their political muscles all the time, not just during elections. We always have power but representative democracy tries to convince us otherwise.

I'm slightly confused by this. Did you know everyone would get sick somehow? What made them super-spreader events beforehand?

Perfect choice of gif though lol

To me this has obvious queer vibes. Is this interpreted the same way in Russia and if so do you get any pushback for wearing this? I've read Russia is a very queer phobic country.

Yeah the Supreme Court believes in almost completely unlimited presidential power but I guess permanent martial law was just a bit too far even for them.

But don't worry, the federalist society will soon be hard at work finding new stooges who won't have such moral qualms.

I hope they turn it into a conservation area and these people lose their investment. This area shouldn't be rebuilt.

Nah, just a KGB inside job.

I'd rather people get to work on fixing things now than wait until November.
