I love cities, land use policy, transport issues, bikes, model trains, crows, and nerd stuff. Huge wife guy.

Its nice having all their elite's sons and daughters living in the west because they're essentially hostages and absolutely should be seen as evidence Russia nuclear bluster is empty.

This is my city, except also add in the excuse "no, we don't want to tax rich homeowners in order to fund anything other than the police"

It's always the larpers most removed from both battlefields and an understanding of ancient nordic culture to wax poetic about that shit.

Star Trek Strange New Worlds Is a Centrist Space Fantasy
YouTube video by Jessie Gender Star Trek Strange New Worlds Is a Centrist Space Fantasy

Jessie Gender made a whole damn 3 hour video on Discovery becoming increasingly "radical centrist" on political and social topics. youtu.be/EroImhdiND4?...

A lot of people think that if you hate modern trek, you probably just think it's too woke or something. Wrong, I think the problem with modern trek is that it isn't woke enough. We saw an actual evolved humanity and society, but modern trek devolves humanity to modern day attitudes and problems.

I wish trek dug more into the worldbuilding of the setting, and in a rational way. Instead we get pretty damn inconsistent depictions of most areas...

Same. I don't even think I'm a star wars fan anymore, I'm an andor fan and enjoy the sequels they made about a farm kid who finished what the gang in andor started, but not much outside of that.

I never quite placed the exact time frame of Solo, so it's between S1 and 2 of andor. Interesting. Probably more interesting than the movie itself lol
Really wish anything star wars thats come out in the last 30 years had even remotely the quality level of andor though. Maybe Mando S1?

I wonder if Christmas is even still a thing in the federation. Humans seem pretty secular if not slightly anti-religion by TNG's timeline. And given how multicultural a united earth is and then how multi-species starfleet is, it's probably almost forgotten or really reduced to a minor niche thing.

It's absolutely wild how so long as enough people feel entitled to commit a crime, you can just make it illegal to enforce. Not actually change the law or raise the speed limits, just pass legislation to stop enforcement. Not on the grounds of social justice, but pure car brain entitlement.

I just don't have faith in the self driving stuff yet, specially with companies outright putting in dangerous/agressive driving modes in order to speed things up.

I'll fully admit the plots and writing aren't great, but holy shit those movies look amazing. Walking over to the imax and seeing that shit on a screen bigger than an apartment building in 3d is an amazing experience. All other 3d movies look off and give me a headache, but avatar tech just works.

That's always the rub. Free transit sounds good, but it ignores the opportunity costs of that same money simply being used to improve service. And improved service actually drives more users and reduces more car trips thus saving more lives and making the world a better place.

Sadly some of the "big name" left comedy posters here have let slip some absolutely ghoulish opinions on Ukraine.

When Biden gave the worst debate performance in history, my job as a neutral reporter was to write about it incessantly until he dropped out. When Trump gave the second worst debate performance in history, against Harris, my job was to lend credence to his claim that immigrants were eating pets.

The only people who endlessly complain about color revolutions are dipshit leftie campists and Q-pilled right-wingers and the thing they have in common is they're both huffing Russian propaganda

Yeah, and it's so hard to find good modern vehicles in that scale. The other bigger railway scale is 1:87 which actually does line up with some non-train related lines of models. But poor N scale doesn't really have anything close. Not model cars, not model ships, nothing.

It was a grassroots movement brewing for a very long time. I know people personally who helped organize. People were sick of economic hopelessness and mass corruption,they saw the EU as hope for reform. When the gov reversed all their promises and doubled down on corruption it triggered protests.
