Logical city planning is planning a city in such a way that provides the greatest overall loving experience to it’s inhabitants and passers-through.

This depends on the location of the city. Traffic prevention and green spaces are 2 things that need to be balanced. If a road that thousands travel on daily is being demolished to make way for a park that a few hundred people will maybe use, then it could be doing more harm than good.

This is ultimately a decision for communities to make, not us armchair planners, and it looks like they valued the park more.

Sprog, is that really you?

Also, there are lots of 3rd party apps by now that make it easier to search for sublemmys. Jerboa on Android, Memmy on Iphone.

What do you have against Manjaro? Ubuntu and Zorin I can maybe understand, but even they are great ‘gateway’ operating systems to ease the Linux transition (and much more secure than Windows/MacOS).

It’s a bit vain to want it at the expense of logical city planning. If the destruction of that road caused major traffic issues or inhibited road access to areas, that would explain why OP added quotes.

It’s a character named Skeletor from a very popular show called He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. He gets used as a meme template because he’s arguably the most stereotypical villain to exist.

‘Red flags’ is an figure of speech meaning clues that something is wrong or unsafe. For example, if you went to get in a taxi but there was blood all over the seat, that would be a red flag.

So many better, easier options than a simple toggle in your settings. Drop it down a sewer grate, pry out the battery, drop it in a faraday cage.

The problem with communism is that it can never be properly applied, and more importantly, maintained. The most basic principle of communism is that all are given equal access to resources, which are gained through equal effort.

The issue arises of leadership. With any population over 20 or so, a direct democracy is not suitable for all minor decisions. Imagine the inconvenience of gathering a huge population just to decide if the logs should be brought up the east or west side of the mountain. Centralized decision-making is quick and efficient.

A leader must be assigned to distribute tasks and resources more effectively - but as scholar Lord Acton simply puts it, “Power corrupts.” No leader is completely free of selfishness, prejudice, and bias. There will be inequalities in workload and reward - and just like that, you’re back to having a proletariat.

Sadly, no. Youth are generally much, much better at learning new things than old folks. Familiarity is what she needs - my best advice is to find a way to install Windows 10 while you’re over there for something else like a holiday.

There’s a video somewhere of a Spanish politician waving around a fish that he snuck in.

That’s a good opinion. I think I misunderstood what you meant by “throw away the bunch” - you meant the current standards of policing, not the concept of police.

So what you’re suggesting is a reevaluation of police duties, not their total dissolution. I would vote for that. Food for thought.

It’s a good start, but educated individuals can still be criminals. Poverty is absolutely a contributing factor to crime, but not the only factor. I can see how this could lead to reduction of necessary police though.

Quick responses to violence. It will never be possible to achieve a 100% reduction of crime, and as long as violent crime is possible there must be a safeguard. In the event that an individual with access to a gun or even a knife suddenly chooses violence without precedent to have them hospitalized for mental health, there must be someone there to stop them from harming others.

You got a better solution than police? Genuinely curious.

No fight, but it’s not the best song. Birdhouse in your Soul is just better than Istanbul (not Constantinople). Agreed?
