They do not contradict each other. I’m certain there will be more stops as the city grows, because they keep improving it. I used to live in a city, in another state, with one of the best public transportation systems in the country, and they also kept improving that system to include the surrounding cities in other counties. Just because something isn’t perfect already does not mean we can’t take it seriously and strive for perfection

It’s a mile, and across an interstate exit, to my nearest bus stop. And I live in the only city in the enormous state that takes public transportation seriously.

I think I feel bad when I read articles like the ones you posted, before this I’d cross the distances and not think much of it because my last two cities didn’t have public transportation. Now I can’t cross fast enough to beat the crossing light, and it’s so incredibly unsafe if I fall. I feel like the problem, I guess

Man, I never used fast food, or drive throughs as much as I have since I developed a mobility disorder. Last week I put a pickup order in at my local coffee shop out of habit, and couldn’t carry both my coffee and the breakfast sandwich to my car at the same time. Which sounds so stupid, but it took so much extra energy for both trips into the store that I was ready to go home and call it a day after that lol

I know the answer is “don’t get fast food and just eat at home”, but I’ve also been so tired after work/school that I’m not eating, and I dunno what the answer to that is either. My state isn’t a place where people think about how to care for their communities, and most of it has hours of highway between “cities”

Wyoming is next to a couple other states with significant Native American populations. The thing about vaccines is there’s a lot of resistance in those populations, especially if it’s white people administering them. Some of that crowd immunity we expect to have really needs to protect them too, and without it, they will be devastated by white people’s policies again.

That’s a very simplified statement without much cultural context, but I think it’s so painful to blame the ~500k people in one large, mostly rural, largely uneducated state for this when much denser voting populations did too

Yeah, we went from the first flight to people on the moon in only 66 years. So there’s no real reason to cut into record profits now, they’ll have reversing it figured out by the time the collapse happens!

Wait, he was willing to take Greenland by force for their resources, and now he’s giving up America’s?? Was he just planning on turning Greenland over to Putin in the first place?

You’re not wrong! He’s deeply religious, but also autistic, so some of his stances are interesting if you don’t understand how his mind works.

Fwiw he disowned me for leaving the catholic church lol

I was a kid and remember wondering why the news was acting like it was her fault. My dad actually thought about moving the family out of the country, because “if Clinton couldn’t stay faithful to his wife, how could he stay faithful to the nation?”

It’s like they’ve forgotten we already knew Clinton is a predator

She is unfortunately having other medical problems. The steroid either isn’t working anymore or she forgets that she isn’t in pain/expects certain touches to be painful, I’m not sure which.

This cat has my whole heart. Like if soul mates could be pets, she’s mine.

Thank you for sharing, and understanding the struggle with giving our little loved ones the life and death they deserve. I’m sorry that you had to make that choice, but I’m glad that you had the strength to do so for her.

I think about my grandfather often since my little Ami has shown the same symptoms he had. I’ve always been so grateful that by the time the end came for him, it was quick, and I know that’s what he would have wanted. Perhaps that’s the view I need to keep for her

I had a cat with dementia when I was a kid, she didn’t make it past 7 years old. Now I have a 16yo cat who is starting to show the same signs. Today she nearly ran out of the house when I got home, and didn’t seem to recognize me. It’s rough.

She’s curled up next to me rn, but I’m still thinking those hard thoughts like when do I make the choice to put her to sleep? I’m not ready for that, maybe never will be, but she’s always been a very frightened cat and she doesn’t deserve to feel more frightened because of dementia.

Inb4 South Park makes a sequel to the Night of the Living Homeless with a presidential twist

As someone who moved from a deep blue state to a similar deep red state: it starts as a way to stand out as “one of the good ones”. People pick up quickly that you aren’t from around, and once they learn that you’re from a “commie state” you’re cooked. But also, some people move with an idealized view of conservative areas, and if they’re still having problems it’s only because conservatives haven’t conserved enough.

I’m lucky I moved for school and could settle in with similar minded folks, otherwise I would have needed to move much sooner lol

Oh, definitely. It would probably be irresponsible to not monitor his media unofficially. It’s the way he is acting like this is an official method of open communication to mediate between governments that’s ridiculous to me. Maybe I’ve forgotten how things were before Twitter shut his account down, but I’m still amazed he doesn’t have people who can get him to understand how bad this is

What other world leaders will even see his posts directly? I mean, I can’t imagine any other country taking his Truth Social seriously enough to join it in an official capacity

Pakistan hasn’t withdrawn the nomination yet. It was just the Ukrainian who seemed a bit misinformed who withdrew it

An example of this is George Santos, who is the only Republican to have been expelled

This is anecdotal, but 22 years ago I attended an event where the US Air Force proudly played a video of a Predator drone strike. I was a teenager who avidly gamed, and felt horror at what I was forced to witness because I knew these were real people who were dying agonizing deaths

To this day I still feel the same emotions when I think of it, and I can’t listen to Drowning Pool’s “Bodies” because that’s the song they played to accompany the footage

I tried to save Iran humiliation and death. I tried to save them very hard because I would have loved to have seen a deal worked out

That’s… that’s not why anyone tries to save human lives, Donald.

That’s why he’s trying to criminalize any ideology besides whatever his is. RFK Jr also talked about “work camps” for people with mental health issues.
