Not sure if it’s an appropriate time to say this but Governor Newsom has ended up breaking state constitutionality by repealing the death penalty via executive order while Californians have already denied it through referendum. While I’m all for repealing it, this is a blatant breach of the California constitution and it should not be ignored.
Also the shooting in Christchurch is terrible. I hope those far-right supremacists get what’s coming for them, whether it’s rotting the rest of their lives in prison or being beaten to death in the interrogation room. My heart goes out to the Muslims affected by this horrible tragedy.

Karmic justice. Before the attack, he could not get a girlfriend. After the attack, he will likely BE someone’s girlfriend.
Also surpried that a court hasn’t called Newsom on it yet. Should happen soon if the judiciary has any consistency or honor. As for repealing the death penalty, I’m on the fence. The arguments against it are good, but I just feel like there are some completely irredeemable people out there that need to be culled.

So Amazon cancelled their HQ2 plans for New York City due to fierce protesting. NYC gave Amazon a $3B tax break in return for building one of their HQ2s in Long Island City in the Queens borough, which would bring 25,000 jobs.

Wish there were more bronies who are as much as an urban planning nut as me.

Yep, light pollution. Suburban sprawl is always on an amateur astronomer's mind.
There's quite a few ways for cities to reduce skyglow: Shielding light fixtures and/or reduce color temperature. Suburbs tho, I doubt much progress will happen there as most folks like to light up there houses like prisons.
Obesity is an interesting one. I didn't think it would be related to how a city is developed.

It’s generally because suburban communities are usually too far away from most services in general to be walkable. If the only option is to drive to literally so anything, people are going to walk less. When there are more services and options for public transit within walking distance, people will use it. While correlation doesn’t always equal causation, it’s a bit noteworthy to point out that obesity is more common where cities sprawl more, and East Coast cities, which commonly have less sprawl, have less obese people in general.

I should be a cynical hardass for the rest of my life so I can show people how defeatist and negative I am and get views off of it.

The president should maybe save his criticism and complaints on Twitter until the Camp Fire is over.

You know, KSI vs Logan Paul is the dumbest, most ridiculous thing I have heard this year by far.

You know, just as much as it's insulting to generalize liberals into one category, I find it just as insulting to generalize conservatives. All is does is breed an "us vs. them" mentality.

Feel like people just doesn't want to hear positive stuff all the time, because it easier to complain and blame someone than to actually act on it.

As much as this site has plenty of conservatives there are plenty of people who hate them, even more than those who hate liberals. What’s with that?
-
Personally, I have nothing against conservatives in general and I acknowledge that I'm generally more liberal minded. However, I feel like the hate for conservatives stems from the fact that some of the louder, more attention seeking conservatives tend to try and draw attention to themselves by saying and doing stupid and hurtful things. Granted there are those who are liberal who are also assholes who do idiotic things as well. Extremes are bad.

Much of it stems from Trump. Everyone must acknowledge how polarizing he was. Even this far into his presidency, there are still people who are convinced that he is a Fascist, and that those who voted for him are at least crypto-fascists. Certain figures in the media, Hollywood, and even in government (looking at you Auntie Maxine) have been actively fueling this, leading to hostility. Hostility from the left naturally results in reaction from the right. Thus the rapidly accelerating temperature in the country.
It's gonna get worse before it gets better.
