well given the amount of microplastics in balls and forever chemicals in blood, I'm not sure most people can call themselves truly "healthy"

I'll live here and help who I can. I plan to get into gardening a bit and support local farmers, the main problem isn't really trump but more how much fake bullshit the media is churning out and whether it actually manages to whip enough stupid scandals to cover for the complete corruption and incompetence of conservatives.

If it does turn into an insane fascist government, well if everyone took out exactly one fascist we'd run out of fascists very quick.

as somebody who does some of this work: roads are expensive and environmentally damaging. The fact road costs are so effectively hidden from drivers is one of the great frustrations about communication on the subject.

Without oodles and oodles of public grants and funds there would be almost no roads. The reality here is that consumers don't make the decision to have roads and cars, the government does. End of discussion.

the word here is sprawl. The vehicles actually don't matter as much as the parking. The more space dedicated to parking the harder it is for people realistically walk to any destination.

We need more than anything to end parking minimums' which create large, poorly utilized space with high stormwater runoff and think about putting in parking maximums

replace public parking with green spaces, add more barriers to slow cars down in high pedestrian traffic areas, and more goddamn trains.

I think more dems are seeing that reforms need to be made. If democracy is expanded -especially in some way that abolishes gerrymandering or the two party system - the funds tying all these republicans into a single party will collapse for a time.

You see people like AOC willing to create consequences for the supreme court and people pushing constitutiomal amendments again. I expect if Biden wins again the next dem primary will be interesting. If he loses well, there's a good chance we'll become a one party system like russia at the federal level.

Ice machine + box fan

Put ice in a container with a large surface area, aim the fan at it. Empty the container when fully melted. Put ice in all your drinks

I think its also that "free speech" has become "you can lie to anyone for any reason and recieve almost no consequences" and in the age where media can be pushed and spun faster than it can be read there's just no way our existing system can handle it.

This is why there's a clear parallel to the 1940s where broadcast mediums pretty much did the same thing.

Now everyone has a megaphone and you get extra money if it snags eyeballs.

I'm thinking of things like heliocentrism where there was some modern discovery or revelation by science that invalidated a common assumption prior.

My understanding is that flat earth is more a recent phenomena but I'd love to hear some ancient ideas people now miss. Did people think trees weren't alive? Did people think evaporation was where things simply disappeared?

I'd would love to hear these ideas.
