And he himself was an NYPD chief.

Took me about 8 hours, I was slow and careful. You can fuck it up, but only if you’re totally reckless and ignore the instructions.

Same, an ex and I were early Cupcake CNC adopters, but then I didn’t touch a 3D printer for a decade. When I got back into it the Prusa MK3S+ was the obvious choice for DIY/FOSS lineage, that thing is not fancy but it sure is a tank.

Yeah but what if

But what if it were

Maybe this is just a weird Dutch way to offer to pay for gas?

There’s a lot of things I’d like to ask someone doing 70 MPH on a highway merge shoulder, if only I ever got the opportunity.

Anarchism is not no government, anarchism is full and universal participation in governance.

Oh yeah? Well I’m gonna anarchist harder.

Yeah I lost a friend to one in college in a rather horrific crash and I’m not nearly as athletic or coordinated as he was, decided I’d always stay away from them after that happened.

I think that different “flavors” of anarchism really would prefigure distinct societal outcomes. I do think there are many potential ways to arrange a classless, stateless society and and they’re all anarchism but some would indeed be more or less preferable for different people. So exploring these various theories and organizational concepts really does matter, not that one is necessarily better than another but because they make us ask questions previously unconsidered about what we really want, why we want it, and how we’d most prefer it operate should we achieve it.

For my part I really like communalism, and it’s agenda libertarian municipalism. I like how Bookchin went into serious philosophical consideration concerning how to operate truly durable and honest social institutions, honest about how to practically operate communal deliberation and honest about the fact that social institution itself is inescapable, important, and perfectly compatible. I like how the whole thing is founded on the philosophy of social ecology, which hold us accountable to our responsibility for our surroundings. And I like how municipalism is a practical, step-by-step process to building dual power beginning at the hyper-local level in a way that prefigures communalist outcomes through education and face-to-face practice.

I don’t think it’s human nature to want to drive like an asshole, but cars remove most of the interpersonal nuance from social encounters that makes other humans relatable while putting them in control of large, easily lethal machinery.

I’ve found it notably more hairy when walking and cycling around cars, even moreso than usual.

Beware the dirt cheap French and Italian frames. Especially the French frames. For historic reasons those countries have their own local hardware sizing and threading standards, making it trickier than usual to find appropriate parts and often requiring country-specific tools. In particular the bottom brackets and headsets. See our lord and savior Sheldon Brown’s French Bicycles page for a pretty exhaustive cheat sheet if you do decide to commit to one of those colorful Peugeots. And talk to the folks at your local bike coop if you have one, they can advise on the practicality of servicing a particular bike and are generally the most affordable place to do so.

That’s literally what he went on to note immediately after the suicide joke, though I don’t blame you for not sticking around.

And one more thing: If you do drive, if you must drive, please be kind. Take it easy, stay defensive, forgive, defer, and thank others for doing the same. I know that $5 is make or break for many of us but the risk of altering from safe behavior is not worth it, and taking it slow is well worth the mental health benefits. Thank you.

No, Denmark is not socialist. Socialized services under capitalism and literally collectivizing ownership of industry under socialism are very different regimes, even though they stem from a common conceptual foundation and share a linguistic root. Neither are bad ideas! But the former is still literally capitalism.

I’m on endeavouros (arch) with an rtx 3060 and haven’t had any issues whatsoever in a few years, are people having more nvidia problems lately or something?

Hey buddy, are you in the west? Because the last I checked, not a single western nation has actually economically and politically pariahed the United States. You work on your government, many here are doing about all we can short of throwing our lives away and we could use more support.

Four months lines up almost to the day with mid-term elections in the US. Funny how that works out.
