It’s like water sanitation. Mixing 100 liters of tainted water with 1 liter of clean water doesn’t give you 101 liters of clean water. It doesn’t even give you 100 liters of dirty water and 1 liter of clean water, it gives you 101 liters of dirty water. That’s why ACAB.

Parking requirements have already been removed for projects located within half a mile of major transit stops under the 2022 state law AB 2097. The new city council proposal could expand that policy to the entire city.

Sounds like this has already been in place for years in select areas without the apocalypse happening.

We need to kill so much car related bullshit here so, so badly. Every time an area gets more pedestrian friendly the NIMBYs shriek about the 12.5 seconds added to their commute in exchange for not living in the middle of a freeway.

I thought this had to be an onion headline at first, but didn’t he also do this during his first presidency? I seem to remember something about him tearing up a garden.

May every raid these fucks try to do be in the afternoon heat in full gear, with a raging hangover.

If they’re high quality editors who consistently put out a lot of edits then yeah, it is meaningful and insightful. Wikipedia exists because of them and only them. If most feel like they do and stop doing all this maintenance for free, then Wikipedia becomes a graffiti wall/ad space and not an encyclopedia.

Thinking the immediate disgust of the people doing all the work for you for free is meaningless is the best way to nose dive.

Also, you literally had to scroll past a very long and insightful comment to get to that.

Even with transition lenses it’s so, so bright 😩

I’m not a psychologist so I can’t tell you anything definitive, but getting very upset over something unexpected happening could be anxiety related. Everyone naturally gets frustrated when things don’t work out, but a lot of mental illnesses are just ‘normal’ things dialed up to 10.

It could also be a lot of stuff other than anxiety! Mental health is super complicated, regardless of what it is (if anything).

Are you in therapy with someone you trust in addition to meds? Because meds helped me a lot, but the therapy was super necessary for me as well.

It also demonstrates how much AI companies mislead the public on what their products can do. If a guy is selling lawnmowers that actually just generate grass clippings without mowing the lawn, you’re not an idiot for thinking it was going to mow grass.

Meds helped me with this a lot. Not the first or even the second medication I tried, maybe the third or fourth? Really good therapy, too. That took maybe another four tries with different therapists for me.

The worst part is being incredibly overwhelmed with anxiety makes it really, really hard to deal with shitty experiences with any of the above. It’s demoralizing when it doesn’t work out and it’s not perfect when it does work out. Still miles better than I was before.
