BYD and the CCP:

he should have changed his political stance, realizing who the real enemy was.

But that’s why we’re mocking him. He was terrified about the goon squad when he was on the receiving end, and now he was to employ them.

Now the hot Karens are going to want to see what the MTG-look’s Karens are packing.

Are you a republican woman with broad shoulders, a big nose, or a square jaw. Congrats, the Karens are now going to ask the cops to look at your junk.

I mean, some NATO nations have been known to join the US in a dumb fight. But Trump has also directly tariffed and threatened many of the nations that would normally help the US. Friends are gonna be short supply.

LEAVE HIM ALONE DHARAMVEER

Agreed. I’m just saying that I’ve seen behavior burby places change, even when the demographics, parks, and schools reminded similar.

Are you saying that suburban families with kids no longer live next to schools, parks, friends?

Weird thing is that many American kids no longer do this in the suburbs, and it used to be very very common 30+ years ago.

I imagine that is a combo of helicopter parenting + American roads becoming less safe.

You’re looking at one incident, on one block, in the one city in America that is radically different than all of the others.

And that said, NYCs response times are around 10min, which is target that Germany also tries to hit. https://www.nyc.gov/assets/operations/downloads/pdf/mmr2025/2025_mmr.pdf

Gaddafi and Chavez? Both of those governments had a shitload of military people staffing leadership roles that should’ve been civilian gigs. No thanks.

Disobeying authoritarian orders is one thing. Using that as a tool to centralize power and staff civi roles with military brass for decades? Hard pass.

As a product designer, I’ve clocked in countless hours with many many design tools over the year. For raster, vector, page layout, solid modeling, ux, animation, you name it.

I desperately want GIMP to be my, and my design team’s, raster tool of choice. That said, the UX is still abysmal, it uses some bizarre UI patterns, and the UX hasn’t really evolved over the past two decades. There has been some projects to redo the UX, but they all seem to eventually die on the vine.

I would LOVE an OOS raster tool with GIMP’s feature set, and a decent interface.

My tool of choice is Photopea at the moment. The ads are horrible, but it has a broad feature set, is free, and appears to be coded by a single workhorse dev who has basically cloned photoshop as a web app.

It’s almost like there was some sort of reason why no one else was stupid enough to do this.

Stephon and the Colin / Che joke swaps are similar. The cast has no idea what was written for them. The writers try to break the performer. The performer tries to hold the sketch together.

This is who you hope to get paired up with on Farmers Only

I’m more disappointed by the US hockey team deciding have a celebrity locker room party with Kash Patel.

Ditto. That was my first question as well. Who was recruited?

Then I realized, that question is irrelevant, because little qualitative studies like this are not supposed to answer broad questions like this.

I imagine there is no malicious intent here. The author likely doesn’t have a background in research and doesn’t understand what information you can reliably pull from a focus group.

This is not how you read a focus group.

This is a small 13 person group. These groups are waaaay too small to see how the general public feels about policies.

You’re supposed to use focus groups to get insight into WHY people might feel a certain way about a policy. Then you survey a broad audience to see if the sentiment exists at scale.

I’m all for more progressive policies, but I also do a lot of research professionally, and this article annoyed me. These are the wrong conclusions to draw from a little focus group.

People dragging out Bernie in 2028

The main issue is that these items have a much bigger list of requirements and stakeholders than the items designed in the past. They’re trying to be everything for everyone.

Something like a simple park bench needs meet requirements for accessibility, weather resistance, vandalism, cleaning, vagrancy - plus all of the opinions of city council and people that show up to nag city council.
