Yeah, I'm struggling to think of any increased negative environmental impact that could result from turning a residential street into a safe street.

That's true, but it has nothing to do with AI other than AI being one of the stupid things the very wealthy are wasting our resources on instead of investing in people.

The concept of caring enough about your country to show up for free is completely incomprehensible to these people.

Wikipedia's list is very well-sourced and they're careful about keeping out AI crap. They have 2024 numbers and they're close to the ones you have. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

The Ford Pinto had 27 fire fatalities in 9 years and everyone lost their minds. The Cybertruck has had 5 fire fatalities since it came out less than two years ago, and people are still buying them. They're death traps.

Seattle comrades: If you're interested in doing a bit more to stand up to the erosion of our civil rights, we are expecting a huge crowd for the next No Kings protest, and can really use more volunteers, especially on the safety team! Here's the form to sign up.

I had this happen as a brand-new manager, and in that case I was told by my manager to no longer give any negative/critical feedback to that employee. Which was certainly easier for me at the time, but your answer is much better.

I'm pretty sure that at the exact time this happened today, I was on the D line going north waiting at the Ballard Bridge, and a toddler asked why we couldn't jump the bridge since it was open/a ramp. So maybe the driver was 3.

Thanks Mike! I'm glad it resonated with some people, hopefully it did with the council.

Owning a home has let me have stable housing for over 20 years. Everyone should have access to stable housing.

Hey so just fyi, if you're abandoning trans rights you're abandoning all civil rights

At that point what the fuck is the point of the democracy you're willing to sacrifice trans people for

This actually isn't hard at all, quit making it pretend hard because you finally feel scared too

BK: and of course we've defunded renter protections and affordable housing while stepping up sweeps
BKwhich will tighten the vise on the unruly working class to keep them compliant
AM: Um, I meant what are you doing to *protect* the city *from*  the incoming trump admin?

Almost everyone gets winded climbing stairs; it's hard exercise. Elite athletes, unless they're specifically training to climb stairs, will get winded doing it. "Fitness" means fit for something specific, and for most of us "climbing stairs without breathing hard" isn't the thing we're fit for.
