I think it could work here! My US city does concrete bike lane berms. Cars have to park in designated areas because they can't cross the concrete blocks or planters. My city has been putting in some speedhumps, too. The only complaint is that the infrastructure needs to be going in even faster to make it safe and approachable to whole families!

415k troops vs 1,000,000 troops. Holy shit.

Literally gotten this error before. So annoying. It was like 18 characters.
Neither was great, as written about by David K. Johnson in The Lavender Scare: The Cold War Persecution of Gays and Lesbians in the Federal Government. That said, having read much about this time period and the history of the early gay rights movement in the US, I would pick the US any day of the week over the nonexistent gay rights movement in Russia and many other communist countries, who still give people like me the cold shoulder.
Still, forming a gay civil rights group in 1948 was a progressive step in the right direction (the Mattachine Society), and the leaders paved the way for the more well known gay rights movement in the 1970s. They walked so our ancestors could run.
I hope changes like this make them taxable. I want a fat cut of all that cash they are hoarding.
Who on earth does heroin at a Christmas party? :p
Yeah, it really fucking sucks when there's only one form of transportation and virtually no alternatives. I've lived in places like that, and it's always infuriating when your car won't start and you are already running late for work. And the nearest bus is really slow and on a half-hour basis. My old city didn't even have bus stops for awhile, you just had to flag the bus down and hope they saw you.
Yeah, hopefully that is shifting a bit more. When a bike system works, it is really nice. But many cities are just now realizing that they can be more than toys. It took our city to a breaking point before they realized that there was no physical room to keep adding lanes to the highways and roads around the city now that things have been built up. We still have traffic so bad that it can take upwards of an hour to move two blocks, though. That's starting to change now, finally.
Bro, there are people in a local groupchat that think the great leap forward was a good thing and are self-proclaimed history buffs obsessed with the years 1939-1945, specifically in Russia and China.
They harken back to it as a better time, not realizing the irony of it while being a queer American. It's exquisitely painful to watch 💀
Heh, the first step in a long series of steps towards orbital shipyards and coriolis-class space stations.
The future is looking bright.
Everyone around Trump seems to either end up in prison, a convicted felon, or in rare cases, dead. Funny how assholes and weirdos seem to gravitate to him.
