Like one guy prioritizes housing the homeless and transportation, but the plans are vague. Whereas another guy has very specific transportation goals, and that's it. And maybe another guy wants to create more affordable housing and healthcare, but also wants to give a bajillion more dollars to cops.

Perfection is the killer of all joy and all that, but this is shit is annoying.

If the easement is extinguished and the plan goes through, Westside could create more than 3,000 homes in Northeast Park Hill, 75% of which will be market rate, and the rest will be income-restricted. The area would boast the fourth largest park in the metro area, and the developer would fund that. Buildings could be between four and 12 stories high, depending on their location on the site.

If this measure does not pass, it’s possible that Westside would sit on the land, and it would remain vacant as it has since 2018. The company could also run a golf course on the site, essentially making the land inaccessible to all but fee-paying golfers.

Keyword is here "could" create more than 3000 homes. But the article states

This second part of the measure doesn’t actually do much. It’s basically a way for the architects of this measure to communicate to the public what Westside plans to do. There is nothing for voters to allow, beyond the city extinguishing the easement.

Looks like another case of capitalists trying to use progressive language to trick the public. There's no clause in the vote that mandates the developer build anything.

Also, the city and developers are saying the land must be primarily used for golf if the contract is preserved, but the opponents say it's a lie and it can be used for anything as long as it sticks to the "open space" principles of the contract

I can't believe this is real lol

Throughout the debate, Destiny groaned loudly and twisted around in his chair. He put his hands on his face and rolled his eyes. The Twitch chat rolled along, arbitrarily scoring the debate and getting excited when either participant seemed to get mad.

“You’ve told me a bunch of things that capitalism isn’t. You’ve given me a bunch of random collected facts of history,” Destiny said after Wolff had given what he felt was an unsatisfactory definition of capitalism.

“Why would you talk about the history of it? That’s not relevant,” Destiny said, after asking Wolff why he refused to call the modern American democratic party a socialist party.

I've seen people IRL talk about him and Hasan. Truly the darkest of ages

I’ve always found people who freak out about AI sentience extremely pathetic. Just absolute baboons who get impressed by mundane shit. I first came across it with the whole “roko’s basilisk” shit and immediately dismissed them as morons, and many years later I’m still validated

I recently watched a Richard Stallman interview where he talks about being horrified with bluetooth dildos because it's closed source and sending data to corporations. He must be thrilled with this new development

Walked outside to see a fucker trying to jiggle my door and ran off when I confronted him. Shits worth $300 and has different color doors. Who’s chopping this shit up? They gotta be selling it to developing countries where they’re worth more. I suppose that’s why beat up cars are more valuable than high end ones because it’s more affordable overseas

Without a critical anti-imperialist lens it’s just ebib American soldiers blasting away Charlie and his elderly guerrilla mom. But otherwise it’s decent

The only good American vets are the ones who acknowledge their sins and seek redemption through actions and not defend their time in the military and don’t get pissy when POC/foreigners are understandably wary of them as if they’re entitled to automatic forgiveness.

the only decent Succdem is Corbyn.

Not true. There are decent south Americans ones. They’re usually anti imperialist

Maybe it’s because I literally do not give a shit about the company or it’s products or customers. I just want money. In fact, I want the opposite kind of imposter syndrome, where I trick the people hiring me into thinking I’m much more qualified than I actually am get paid a shit ton more money. Yes I know C++, Pascal, Assembly, COBOL. Please pay me $500k.

Reed was arrested in March and was charged with:

  • Second degree kidnapping, class four felony
  • Child abuse - knowingly/recklessly any injury other than SBI, class one misdemeanor
  • Menacing - threat/physical action/fear of SBI, class three misdemeanor
  • Harassment - strike, shove, kick class three misdemeanor

According to court documents, all other charges, except for the child abuse charge, were dismissed.

A family member has alleged that Reed was the boyfriend of a woman accused of repeatedly sexually abusing a teen boy and continuing to contact him despite a judge ordering her to have no contact with him.

During court, the judge acknowledged that Reed was romantically involved with 31-year-old Kristen Wessel.
