I’m not the person you’re replying to, but I’m a fuckcars enthusiast.

Personally, I don’t think cars should be banned nationally, but they should be banned in urban areas. Require people to park on the outskirts or a satellite city and take the train or bus. This includes the main street in my small town. Cars are mostly fine on rural distribution roads where they don’t interact too much with people, but in any area with sufficient density, cars quickly become dangerous, and roads disruptive.

Banning them now would be disastrous for the poor.

Cars are disastrous for the poor in the US as well. Many poor people don’t have reliable access to cars, and when you don’t have a car in a car-dependent city, everything becomes more complicated. Often public transportation is completely overlooked because it’s assumed that everyone drives. Because of this assumption, we enforce parking minimums that all but require driving.

Not letting corrupt auto industry barons kill alternative transport would have been the play, but that horse has sailed.

Alternative transport can be (re)built. We would have rebuilt it several times over without the corruption anyway, it’s not like we’d still be using the steam locomotives that built America today.

You can be bi and not out, or you can come out to your partner. In fact, I think the latter would be a good idea. He sounds like a loving person, and someone close to you saying “I accept you, and I love you.” can mean so much. Coming out as bi to a couple of friends was a huge relief for me. Even though I wouldn’t enter a gay relationship until years afterwards, just getting that off my chest did wonders.

Then it becomes a competition not in who can provide the best service to customers, but in who is able to look the best to the boss. If that means being fast and efficient, and not minding if you step on customers’ toes, then the customer experience will falter.

How’s anarchy supposed to work? Both Ukraine and Spain have functioning “oppressive” governments now. I always figured that it’d end up with whoever has the most guns ending up doing whatever they want.

Against the Storm. It’s a roguelite colony sim. Which didn’t make any sense when my boyfriend described it like that, but they pull it off so well.

there was cliques and entourageous. That’s not anarchy.

Isn’t that basically one of the key features of anarchy? There may not be an official structure, but people are allowed to form groups and associate based on their values and goals. The fact that this ends up feeling like high school is a pretty big black mark against anarchy in my book.

Though a corporation being anarchist is kinda absurd.

Re-emission can result in extremely large refractive indices, but the weirder explanation for the refractive index is the one responsible for all the ones we experience on a regular basis. It relies on the wave property of light. If an electromagnetic wave is traveling through a medium, it will weakly jiggle the surrounding atoms, ever so slightly polarizing them. This polarization is moving charge, which creates its own electromagnetic wave. The medium’s wave will be shifted slightly in phase, causing destructive interference with the wave traveling through it and slowing the wavefront.

This explanation explains why you can have even a low-energy photon, which can’t knock an electron to its next highest energy level still be slowed.

• Ori and Ori: Will of the Wisps. These games are beautiful and atmospheric. The story is basic, but it’s a world to get lost in.

• All of the supergiant games (except for maybe Hades). So Bastion, Transistor and Pyre. Dripping with style, Bastion and Transistor have a pretty straightforward story, but it’s well told. Pyre’s story is a bit more complex, with a heavy focus on characters and your choices with them.

Everyone has their own definition of love. For me it’s about what you say: A close friend that you trust. And that’s exactly who my boyfriend is. He’s my best friend, I help him out, he helps me out and we both trust each other. Occasionally we have sex, but that’s not a huge fixture of our relationship, it’s fun for 15 minutes every week, but that’s around 0.5% of our total time together. Hanging out and playing games and doing chores is the other 99.5% of our lives together.
