Very well said, and it’s also interesting because so much of the previous decisions are based on the general attitude of the time or the policies. Like looking back the decisions are technically incorrect in a lot of areas (school integration etc.). Obviously the outcome is “good”. But that’s where the constitutionalists come in and knock it down.
Still in shock that this was the decision from the Supreme Court. We (the masses) are always trying to put the justices in these black and white boxes, but now Roberts and previously Barrett have issued decisions that don’t seem to be line with that thinking.
Are you on mobile or are you using desktop? The mobile app is definitely still in development so it’s missing a lot of those QOL things that you are missing.
For me it’s been helpful to use that fediverse search tool, and copy and paste it into the search. Seems to work better on desktop. I’ve got a decent feed going today, but it’s definitely a work in progress.
rigo@lemmy.oneto Literature@beehaw.org•What helps you decide on picking up a book from an unknown author?1·2 years agoIf it’s fantasy I’ll almost always just read it as long it’s not clearly a YA book (not that there’s anything wrong with it).
For other genres it’s mainly centered on Goodreads reviews (with a grain of salt of course).
rigo@lemmy.oneto Technology@beehaw.org•Paul McCartney: AI has enabled a “final” Beatles song4·2 years agoI can’t imagine thinking so much of yourself that you need to use AI to release a new song in this manner. It’s wild.
rigo@lemmy.oneto World News@beehaw.org•If we all cycled like the Dutch, CO2 emissions would drop by 690 million tonnes1·2 years agoYeah I wonder about this a lot and what we would have to sacrifice to increase the amount of local food production. I know it would mean we’d have access to less “in season” items. But outside of that what would the impact be? Around me there are people starting farms for grass fed/free range meat, but how big can you scale that model. The way we transport/utilize food is terrible in the U.S.
Seems like the solution is to eat less meat (which I agree with in spirit). But also seems extremely unrealistic. It also doesn’t cover all crops.
rigo@lemmy.oneto World News@beehaw.org•If we all cycled like the Dutch, CO2 emissions would drop by 690 million tonnes3·2 years ago100% and I absolutely get that aspect. My original post was more about trying to find out what those rural solutions are since everyone commenting did keep saying things along the line of “all we need to do is __________”.
Not debating the effectiveness of what they’re suggesting, but also I’m allowed to ask what the other ideas are for those of us who are outside of the urban areas lol.
rigo@lemmy.oneto World News@beehaw.org•If we all cycled like the Dutch, CO2 emissions would drop by 690 million tonnes1·2 years agoYep yep, again. Agreed on all counts but that isn’t what the original comments or the article was about. Which is why I brought it up in the first place. I think it’s generally agreed that the more urbanized places would need revamping first. I’m just specifically asking about ideas in rural areas because that’s where I’m from.
rigo@lemmy.oneto World News@beehaw.org•If we all cycled like the Dutch, CO2 emissions would drop by 690 million tonnesEnglish1·2 years agoYeah the track system is largely in place (not sure if freight or passenger). I’m not trying to argue lol. I’m just asking questions. So in your world there would be a mass spiderweb of intersecting trains that sprawls out to everywhere (obviously a kind of park and ride situation) and that would feed into the cities or other communities.
Makes me think about the whole idea of the Green New Deal that Sanders was talking about when he ran the first time. Get a giant workforce of people out there building railways and stations. Would be interesting to see for sure.
rigo@lemmy.oneto World News@beehaw.org•If we all cycled like the Dutch, CO2 emissions would drop by 690 million tonnes3·2 years agoYep, I’m not debating that point. I’m 100% in favor of doing that. I’m asking about solutions for everyone else. This debate is usually framed as “all we need to do is” when that isn’t the case for everywhere or everyone. Just diving into it a little bit more.
rigo@lemmy.oneto New Communities@lemmy.world•I (24M) am happy to introduce: relationship_advice to Lemmy!10·2 years agoLol maybe in a smaller, more moderated space we can see a difference?
rigo@lemmy.oneto World News@beehaw.org•If we all cycled like the Dutch, CO2 emissions would drop by 690 million tonnesEnglish1·2 years agoSo to provide regularly scheduled public transportation we would need to build out rail infrastructure to country areas? I suppose a park and ride system would be effective but what would still require a mass buildout.
I’m thinking of areas like this one I attached. The nearest cities are 1hr drive from most towns, the cities are all small-midsized so don’t have that many jobs (proportionally) in the first place. The solution is to put train stations in every town? Every other town? Then the cities themselves would need to build out rail infrastructure because Albany and Syracuse have very little in the way of public transportation.
Genuinely asking, not trying to come across as snarky. This is actually a middle-ground example. I could show you a map of WV or Western PA if you really want to see rural.
rigo@lemmy.oneto World News@beehaw.org•If we all cycled like the Dutch, CO2 emissions would drop by 690 million tonnesEnglish0·2 years agoThis, and also just the mass commercialization of everything. The majority of towns don’t have small businesses any more, it’s all chains…or they drive to the nearest Walmart. There was a good article in the NYtimes recently about this and how dollar generals are basically taking over in rural communities. There aren’t enough people in these towns to support a diverse set of businesses, so the businesses shut down and a Dollar General moves in because it covers most basic needs.
rigo@lemmy.oneto World News@beehaw.org•If we all cycled like the Dutch, CO2 emissions would drop by 690 million tonnesEnglish2·2 years agoYeah for sure. I love looking around the world at different examples including you guys. I grew up in a very rural hilly area so it’s just what I think of first. Completely agree that we should make the changes we can make and figure the rest out later.
rigo@lemmy.oneto World News@beehaw.org•If we all cycled like the Dutch, CO2 emissions would drop by 690 million tonnesEnglish2·2 years agoWhat are the different solutions? Genuinely asking. Seems like a large aspect to skip since it represents the majority of the US LOL
rigo@lemmy.oneto World News@beehaw.org•If we all cycled like the Dutch, CO2 emissions would drop by 690 million tonnesEnglish2·2 years agoAgain this is semantics. But this isn’t true. Look at the entire state of WV or any state that is mountainous. Unless magically millions of people get in much better shape there isn’t an obvious solution. I’m all for better infrastructure and public transport.
rigo@lemmy.oneto World News@beehaw.org•If we all cycled like the Dutch, CO2 emissions would drop by 690 million tonnesEnglish6·2 years agoIt is questionable though in most states in the US atleast. Not sure how someone who lives a 20 minute drive from the nearest town in the middle of nowhere is supposed to ride a bike around. The whole world isn’t urbanized
No I do not 😂. I’m sure there’s something out there but I’m thinking about it from the perspective that if anyone had been way off recently there would have been a big hubbub about it. After Trump got elected most of these analysts changed their models and they’ve been more accurate since.
Clare writes for a couple different sites now, The New Yorker and NY Magazine… Basically free lancing. I believe she’s also working on a book.
rigo@lemmy.oneto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is an underrated feature to look for when buying a house?English11·2 years agoAlso friday/Saturday night if you have the time. I swung by on July 4th so see what the neighborhood was like. A couple of small get togethers happening but nothing too crazy. Figured if it wasn’t too bad on a national holiday it wouldn’t get too crazy normally.
Maybe they’re worried about legacy, wouldn’t doubt it. But it does, a lot of the time come down to the strict constitutionalists vs. those who are more willing to be open to interpretation and intent.
