Get yourself some Approval Voting and Proportional Representation at the state and local level! Volunteer with Election Science to make it happen!

Yeah I think pretty much everyone either forgets or doesn’t know that the suburbs are subsidized by the city for exactly the reasons you mentioned.

The NIMBYS would argue “the character of the neighborhood” would suffer. They’re fucking selfish assholes for it, but it’s an argument.

I want to live in multi-family housing.

How much slower is s CPU without this functionality built in?

Yes and no. It’s a crime committed across international borders. The US can’t go into the other country to go get the perpetrator, but if they step foot inside the US the feds can arrest and charge them. If their home country is decent the perpetrator will get charged at home or extradited to the US, but some countries don’t do either, for a variety of reasons.

Hah, no worries! I didn’t wanna be mean about it, but it seemed like that’s why you were getting flack.

“Perpetrated,” not prepared.

You can become a gang leader and decide the fuz are getting too close to your trail, then move to Honduras and keep advising your gang members back home. You could also just scam people out of their money over the internet and the country in which the victims live is going to be interested prosecuting you, regardless of where you are.

Agreed. I only said "don’t let them leave. "

Your first paragraph is a bit confusing. It’s technically a fragment (replacing “while” with “meanwhile” would fix this), there’s too many implied words, and the ordering of ideas is a bit jarring. As a result, it took me a few tries to figure out you were referencing your own behavior with the second sentence. I’m saying all this because I think it’s the reason people down voted your comment.

Try this:

While Meanwhile, I just occasionally remind them that I exist from time to time [ ] until I’m too lazy, by sending links to some articles or something via DMs once in a every few weeks or so until I’m too lazy. This is a bit similar to stalking, so don’t do that.

I hope this wasn’t too annoying, but difficult writing can turn allies into frustrated enemies. I can go into detail about each change, if you want.

There’s plenty of crimes that affect people inside your country and can be perpetrated by people outside your country. If the criminal happens to be inside your country, don’t let them leave.

Cop City is trying to change that.

Can’t you just have a “no leaving the county” list instead? If you can enforce one, you can enforce the other.

If only there was a way these people could teach themselves these skills, even without access to a doctorate program!

Everyone thinks the the switch would somehow be overnight and everyone would be required to throw away their old stuff. In reality, you just replace the things when they wear out and all the new equipment is metric. Tada!

Oh no! Let’s vote on which voting system to use to vote on which voting system to use. That way our vote about voting won’t have vote splitting!

I’m still on team Approval Voting and Proportional Approval Voting.

It would very much be worth it. Imperial invites mistakes by using weird conversions and factional sizes. I often have to stop and think which factions of an inch are bigger or smaller than each other. When Australia switched from imperial to metric, it’s estimated they save about 10% annually from having a lower error rate. Fewer things need to get fixed or replaced from measurement mistakes.

A kitchen-scale example: I once mixed up tablespoons and teaspoons when adding baking soda to my pancake mix. They turned out disgusting and we had to re-make breakfast because version 1 was inedible. Such mistakes are less likely to happen under metric.

If at all possible.

I used to main a bicycle in the suburbs, which was probably orders of magnitude more pleasant than doing so in any American city, since both lack any serious bike infrastructure.

If at all possible, consider replacing your car with an E-bike. Way cheaper, both in upfront and maintenance costs. No insurance, no gas, no registration fees, etc, etc. With the right set-up you can haul a week’s worth of groceries in the rain and not even think twice about it.
