@veryworrisome @soundsbycoop If you're not going to engage with my points I'm done with this convo. The point I'm making is they're necessary by design in the US and among others because of oil lobby. But if we shift from car centric to human centric what is a necessary luxury becomes just a luxury.

@BreadsPosts @soundsbycoop Your bullet points: -They are a necessity -They are a luxury -They are a necessity -They are a luxury

We could just do this everywhere

@veryworrisome @soundsbycoop I have to drive to work. I know they are a necessity. But that is entirely because we built a shit world full of highways and roads and pollution where everything is miles apart with no alternatives. That's a massive fucking problem we need to get passed. Cars are still luxuries.

@BreadsPosts @soundsbycoop For you cars may be a luxury, for many they are a tool of necessity. Also, nowhere do you mention the requirement of money to store these purported "large luxury item" in public space. What else would a dedicated public parking lot by a beach be used for if not to store cars?

AI and LLMs are part of that mass surveillance and speech control campaign tho. The main thing people are taking issue with is your inability to present these 'wildly popular tech products' as a part of the surveillance apparatus u claim to oppose.

"Adapt or die! It's inevitable! Don't get left behind! Surrender your critical thinking!"

Tucson made a simple change to 20,000 streetlights. Light pollution dropped 7%, energy bills dropped $2.16 million a year, and many songbirds were saved. Most LEDs have made light pollution worse. The cool-white lights most cities chose scatter into the sky at higher rates than the old sodium lamps. That scatter pulls migrating songbirds off course and drops them into lit buildings by the hundreds of millions each year. Tucson decided to do it differently. They used warm-white 3,000K LEDs instead of the standard 4,000K. They added full shielding so light points down, not sideways or up, and adaptive dimming. Lights run at 90% from sunset to midnight, then drop to 60% until dawn. Drivers and pedestrians reported no loss of visibility. Migrating birds passing over the city had a darker corridor to navigate than they'd had in decades. Most cities still haven't figured this out. Philadelphia, LA, and Phoenix have all run into problems with retrofits that increased sky glow despite using LEDs. The tech is solved. The implementation is a choice. Ask your city council what color temperature your streetlights are. Ask if they dim after midnight. Ask if they're shielded. Most people have never thought about it. Most elected officials haven't either. Never forget that the night sky is also habitat.

There were like 2 or 3 in the US at the beginning of the war too. The part that I can't wrap my head around is who this would potentially serve. My gut says it's Israel, but I don't know why they'd put their energy towards worldwide shortages.

"Amazon’s price fixing allegedly drove up prices everywhere," per the Verge

@veryworrisome @soundsbycoop Cars don't have a right to exist on public land or elsewhere. They're inherently a luxury and storage of large luxury items in public space isn't a right it is a privilege.

@BreadsPosts @soundsbycoop If you want to penalize people to satisfy some latent sadism, go right ahead. Nothing is preventing enforcement citations for overuse of scarcity. But the overall use of public land does not justify a shoehorned profiteering mindset by administration.

@guerns85299 @IranArmystan_ U can tell urself that to make urself feel better. But its clear that Israel committed a genocide in Gaza, ethnic cleansing in West Bank and Southern Lebanon & has been gunning for the US to start a war with Iran since the 90s. u just believe what the party tells u & not ur eyes

@BreadsPosts @IranArmystan_ Anyone with a Palestinian flag who is based in the US and calls their own country is a jerk. Leave America move to Iran and find out. You know fuck all

@TheLastFarm @AnimasRebellio Drama!

@AnimasRebellio Doesn’t matter! It looks like shit!

Ok imagine watching a 90s computer game on the big screen. That’s what all this garbage looks like

@veryworrisome @soundsbycoop How do you enforce that? Money perhaps?

@BreadsPosts @soundsbycoop You say "not entitled to free parking" but why should it cost money? If the actual problem is a lack of space, i.e. more demand than supply, then the city could time-limit parking without charging greedy fees.

@TaylorLorenz @Philgebunts @MGBFBWL @jwordfish @andevers Cool, so everything is shit then? Is that it? Or is AI the greatest thing ever? Pick one. Your argument is basically Google sucks now because AI so AI use for research is actually good. But no. They both suck, one actively lies the other requires more knowledge of the web to use.

@Philgebunts @MGBFBWL @jwordfish @andevers Both have been significantly degraded to the point that search engines offer a poor experience for many users

LLMs collate search (Google, Reddit, StackOverflow etc) in a way that users find agreeable but gives them lower-quality info, obscures/misquotes sources constantly, and kills web traffic. ChatGPT’s product is a formerly functional feedback loop snapped to die like a glow necklace

@guerns85299 @IranArmystan_ You're so right. America is a terrorist. They should not be negotiation with US

@IranArmystan_ Ha ha don’t negotiate with terrorists. Your mentality is warped - pure evil.

@HealthRanger A birthday party for me ?🥺🎉🥳

Somebody is blowing up power plants, oil refineries and energy infrastructure across the globe. Guess what they have planned?

@PaperIdentity @soundsbycoop Eh, that's fair, private sector ran city lots are usually a little more expensive. But it's an option for cities who can't get their constituents on board with more taxes for job creation. Our cities gotta get better about messaging for government jobs creation.

@BreadsPosts @soundsbycoop It’s about 3 bucks an hour on a meter as opposed to 20 bucks… private bad

@PaperIdentity @soundsbycoop K well government charge for parking your car. Good or bad?

@BreadsPosts @soundsbycoop No..government good.. privatization bad

@PaperIdentity @soundsbycoop Glad your only thought and opinion about the world is government bad. Really complex and nuanced, that'll definitely lead to a better world with no corruption

@BreadsPosts @soundsbycoop Blah blah blah destroy the parking machines and cams blah blah got it

@dunkedher @soundsbycoop When you really think about it. Tweeting on Twitter is a privilege. We should give all our tweets to Elon

@BreadsPosts @soundsbycoop yeah! when you think about it, having money is a privilege we should pay all our money to the gov!

@nkulw Don't show this post to Taylor Lorenz

there isn't anything palantir makes that we can't live without. this goes for a lot of very "valuable" stuff in our world. much to consider
