  • We must think it backwards: building rails will bring population density.

    If we wait for density to be high enough, the development will not have been planned for rails and it will be socially impossible to make people accept the demolition needed to build it.

  • To get people trested equally, you need to apply positive bias towards women whom would otherwise be treated unfairly by the current systemic biases.

  • r/pic is an anagram for c/rip

    (Just don't think about the s)

  • The only way to convince conservatives to fight climate change is if we do it with guns and bombs

  • It's a nice fan fiction with high production quality.

    Story wise, it's as if trying to write the Silmarillion but only using characters from LOTR... It feels a bit flat.

  • In my parents neighborhood, there was a plan on building 8 story buildings right next to single houses.

    Off course we need higher density housing to reduce housing shortage... In this case, people fought back to keep the previous rule (4 story high max) and the old 2-story buildings were replaced by 4s ones. To recoup the loss, these appartments were made super high-end and are now empty because they can't sell.

    All in all, I'm torn that i fought to keep a "gradual" increase in height, but also the promoter kind of didn't do this for the right reasons and would probably have created 8-story high end appartments...

  • Being allergic to many many vegetal protein source makes it hard to get good vegan meals.

    Sesame seeds and tahini is used as seasoning in all the good Eastern meals i know, and nuts/peanuts consist of most of the "long lasting" snacks i know of.

    Focusing on the limited remaining vegan proteins makes for a very homogeneous diet that turns out is bad for the gut biome.

    I'll support anyone who wants to eat vegan, but I won't do it myself... I do reduce meat as much as my health allows.

  • By "night", you mean the perpetual night in winter?

  • You can also check mouser electronics (mouser.ca)

    Not sure if you need a business account for some of the products, but I definitively know people ordering from there. Some may have a "fake" business account though.

  • From what i know, anaesthesiologists are some of the highest paid MDs. I often ear people in the medical field saying that the anaesthesiologist is not available because they're paid so well that they can work part time and get the same salary as many other physicians...

  • What shitty reporting!

    To reach one quarter (actually 24%), they had to count everyone who didn't answer "absolutely not". This means it includes a bunch of "not in favor" as those that are open to the idea!

    Elsewhere, it said that only 1 in 10 were in favor.

    If the poll had four options, it means:

    • Absolutely not: 76%
    • Would rather not: 14%
    • In favor: 4%
    • Absolutely Yes: 6%

    Edit: numbers. They're not clear on the exact digits, trying to fudge them their way...

  • Fremen?

  • Anyone who's not at least a bit disgusted by their own country needs to learn more about their country's history.

    Fuck the Catholic Church and old Canadian governments creating boarding school for indigenous people! It's impossible to be blindly proud of Canada, but it's still an awesome country.

  • I always understood it to mean "i slap my balls with it", meaning that whatever were talking about is used to self inflict testicular pain, which is not something enjoyable

  • nothing is real do what you want

    That is a fallacious conclusion from this observation. Don't use this philosophy as an excuse to act like an asshole.

    While everyone perceives reality slightly differently, apples do have a specific light absorption and reflection spectrum.

    Our limited perception of it doesn't make it "not real". Same is true for other senses as well.

  • Usually it's a gateway argument towards the right...
