At least the windows are regular rectangles, and there's really only one bend in most of the exterior walls.

Tar_alcaran , 2 months ago to Memes in Just one more lane

There are other reasons.

Adding, say, a sixth lane doesn't increase capacity as much as adding a 2nd lane, because traffic jams are generally because of interactions. It's very rarely the straight road that has a capacity problem. Adding a sixth lane adds capacity, but also creates more interactions.

Also, car lanes have a shit capacity, which goes down massively when it's busy. Like you said, mass transit is vastly superior, but even a dedicated bus lane would help. In contested traffic, a car lane transports less than a single bus per hour.

They still are.

This is totally missing the point. What happened is the equivalent of the bus company calling the supermarket and saying "hey, I've noticed a lot of people going to your store. If you want to keep that, you've got to pay extra so I don't drop half the busses from your route"

Basically, it means you stay in character at all times. If you're being enemies with someone at the time, you can't be seen being nice to them, ever, even if you're all just colleagues and the fight is for ratings.

Yeah, except I'm pretty sure she disagrees. Weird, it's almost as if any rational definition actually is actually automatically inclusive, except when you jump through a million hoops to make it less so.

Tar_alcaran , 2 months ago to Mildly Infuriating in Has anyone here noticed how reddit has gotten more racist against Indians in the last few months

Being critical isn't automatically racist.

For example, the country where I've been groped the most is Egypt, followed shortly by India. That's not racist.

If I were to say that every indian male is therefore a sex offender, THAT would be racist.

Tar_alcaran , 2 months ago to 196 in That feeling when even Elon Musk thinks you're insufferable

I did. She doesn't define "sex class" anywhere.

And of course she doesn't, because she can't. She has a middle-school grasp of the subject, and she's trying to define "woman" as "woman" by using the weasel word "class".

I believe a woman is a human being who belongs to the sex class that produces large gametes. It’s irrelevant whether or not her gametes have ever been fertilised, whether or not she’s carried a baby to term, irrelevant if she was born with a rare difference of sexual development that makes neither of the above possible, or if she’s aged beyond being able to produce viable eggs. She is a woman and just as much a woman as the others.

I can only deduce that "sex class" is some kind of group where you produce large gametes, but it doesn't matter if they're viable.

I don't have ovaries, but I had them at some point in my life. I can only surmise I'm not in the "sex class" woman according to Rowling, since I don't produce large gametes, viable or not.

Tar_alcaran , 2 months ago to 196 in That feeling when even Elon Musk thinks you're insufferable

She forgot to define "sex class", which could be all sorts of things. She did that because either she doesn't know shit about classes, or because she wants to just say "women are women goddamnit" without actually saying it.

Right. I fully agree that nobody is going to fix this probably during our lifetimes, but there's a big difference between that and actively making things worse.
