“you may not like it, but this is what peak reason looks like”.
this is blowing my mind
100%. it seems to me that the broad scaling of community played a critical factor, being born out of the privilege of personal vehicle transportation. now we live in one place, work in another, play in another, eat in another, etc. in some cases sure, maybe that could theoretically give you 3+ different circles of orbit and thus 3 different communities of fellowship and support. from experience though it looks more like an incongruent/lacking distribution of the kind of important ties between others that would otherwise develop organically within in a given community. ultimately it seems to reinforce our isolation and undermines a sense of belonging.
thanks for the insight, which makes sense. stupid cars.
i wonder what the association is between the size of a parking lot and the frequency of its stores buggies not being returned by shoppers. from the pictures of beautiful european cities and towns i’ve seen, walkability seems to be an important development concern. i’m sure not everywhere, but by contrast, many shopping areas in the us are concrete wastelands with stores wrapping around massive, massive parking lots. perhaps parking 1/4 mile away from the store you just left makes it easier for people to excuse themselves from doing the right thing. i guess we don’t have a great track record with doing the right thing in any context though.
regrettably, i think it’s wise for the international community to assume that the US will not get its act together any time soon.
i want you to know, i specifically looked for your update post. so glad you have found resolution.
oh man, someone should let IDF know. i’m sure it’s just a big misunderstanding.

so many headlines about nethanyahu’s outrage over the lack of uprising of the international community in response to allegations of rape by hamas. thing is, there were eyewitness reports of and allegations of rape beginning on the day of the attack. of course if true, beyond unacceptable, but the world was already full well aware. just fits in line with israel’s track record of recycling talking points to boost outrage.
i have nothing against followers of judaism, but israel is clearly a ticking time bomb and should be handled as such.
“is it true you guys implemented a cart-return system utilizing a quarter as collateral? i just want to say, big fan. brilliant.
