I would build homes, trains, bus lines, and green power.

And also make sure the water fountains in the park actually work year round.

I like the game but I never finished it. I got pretty far when setting it to checkpoint mode, but lost interest near the end.

I don’t really understand the game in detail so I don’t know all the good builds. Extra legs and guns seemed strong.

Yeah, that would help. There’s also the smaller risk of “I was going to click on something else, and this new window popped in under the mouse”

I think some applications also don’t accept input for the first couple seconds to prevent this. I vaguely remember something that had the dialogue boxes count down from 5 before you could click or keyboard-interact them.

Feels like the kind of problem with a lot of edge cases, but even catching 70% of the problems would be a big improvement

That sounds psychosomatic but I’m not a professional. You take care of yourself.

I hate focus stealing so I might set mine to strict, now that I know that’s an option.

It’s an absolute nightmare to be typing, some dialogue box pops up, and I accidentally accept it by hitting spacebar without even seeing what it was.

I always see cops parked inside prospect Park in ways that endanger pedestrians and bicyclists. Trash pigs.

I also saw a dunken donuts truck the other day that had a “blue lives matter” flag on the van, too, and I don’t know if that was a joke.

The “American” one is full of [bullet] holes

Yeah I noticed that, too. Not sure why. Using apt on the command line is probably an alternative, at least.

Anyone forcing return to office should be removed from power.

I’ve had a couple recruiters talk to me about full onsite jobs. I tell them no, because I value my time and health.

Labor should organize and remind the owners that they only live a peaceful life because we haven’t flexed our power

Also switched to Linux (popos) this month. It’s been fine. Games work. Browser works. No complaints, really.

I think there are protests but coverage and communication is limited. Probably because a lot of news and platforms are owned by shitty, rich, people.

Not counting nice walks in prospect Park, I can get on the metro north train and go on a variety of hikes. It’s not 20 steps, but I also get all the other benefits of a city.

Also Manhattan isn’t known for smog, and there is a lot more to New York than Manhattan. Go look at like park slope or Astoria

They said the problem was “widespread”. I’m saying it’s not like everywhere you look, but it feels worse than it is if you only go to the high traffic areas where homeless people go to beg for help.

Cost of living is rising higher than salaries everywhere. This isn’t unique to New York.

The fact that homeless people exist is a poor reason to avoid New York, in my view. People act like you’re going to be wrestling with the homeless every day.

We should do more than ignore the homeless, but that’s a separate conversation.

I think most computer users now don’t know that file systems exist

Right? Slavery was common for a very long time. People used to just dump shit in the water in early cities and cause cholera outbreaks. Lots of old practices are no longer done for good reason

If you live here you don’t really go through Penn station. That’s a major commuter hub.

I’ve lived here for years and only go there if I need to go to NJ transit for some reason (which isn’t often).

That’s like thinking all of NJ is Secaucus train station, or all of someplace else is just the airport. It’s not representative.

This is an extremely monkey’s paw post if I’ve ever seen one.

(I tend to agree that meat is too cheap and has many externalized costs that we all bear, though.)

I’m confident whatever you are imagining is not the daily lived experience of new york city. People picture like times square in 1973 on new years eve and also classic film the warriors. Go look at like park slope on google street view (or another similar service of your choosing).

Ok so there’s like 0 chance the person who wrote that knows this, but with a browser plugin like adblock or scriptmonkey, or probably even a custom css sheet thing, you could change the color.

Or they were being a troll and don’t care.

Fear and hatred of out-group is a pretty core part of conservatism. They are bad people
