Why is arrest even a legal remedy for trespassing? They literally took him from public space back onto the property he was supposedly trespassing on as part of the arrest. It makes no sense.

The remedy for trespassing should be escorting someone off the property and no more.

Analysts think we’re about 4.5 million homes short of what we would need to a well-functioning housing market. I’m not sure exactly how they’re defining that.

The DNC has more control over the nomination process than the RNC does.

Many anarchists are also communists. So I’m not sure I follow.

So far I’m seeing that what they wrote was far more accurate than what you did.

lol this is bad meditation advice.

Ah, fair. They are certainly good at perpetuating themselves.

There is a danger the National Security Law will be weaponised, he says, with people saying: “If you don’t agree with me, I accuse you of infringement of the national security law.”

“I don’t agree with this type of stuff,” says Mr Tang.

After years of searching, we finally found him. The least self-aware man on the planet.

Human behavior is context dependent, and the right context can encourage mutual aid and discourage the behaviors you mentioned. This is more or less the goal of every society. It’s not like people, especially anarchists, somehow didn’t notice that people can sometimes be awful to each other.

Depends on your metric of success. By my metrics they are abysmal failures.

Yeah we have those people too unfortunately.

There are tons and tons and tons of species that can do this. It’s not clear to me what the prevailing species concept is nowadays, if we’re even still following one.

It’s basically illegal to build apartments in most of the bay area other than a few tiny downtown areas. It’s changing in the last few years but still very difficult.

Unregulated? Clearly you don’t know the Bay Area.

Are you sure they weren’t spilled by accident?

I love memes like this because no matter who you are, you can always imagine it’s about your political enemies.

Honestly I’m not saying I support them exactly but if Trump shuts down global trade with the tariffs maybe there will be a silver lining of fewer invasive species introduced. The world has been absolutely ravaged by them for the past 150 years.

True, but unfortunately, this species is way over-planted in many cities. I would not recommend them unless they happen to be uncommon in your local area. Urban forests need to be as diverse as possible to resist the constant barrage of pests and diseases being introduced by global trade.

In California we have a relatively new pest called shot-hole borers which are killing off many of the London planes, so we’re scrambling to plant other species that can resist them.

Also, resistance to air pollution isn’t as crucial as it once was due to better emissions technologies.

Your potted tree isn’t a tree in the sense that I’m talking about. The environmental services trees provide are all based on size and so are predominantly provided by larger trees. Cities usually avoid planting these under electrical wires and in smaller tree basins to avoid damage to infrastructure. So practically, there are many urban locations where big trees won’t fit.

Trees don’t attract VC funding the way some dumb new invention does.

I guess this could be useful in places trees don’t fit but I think there are other simpler solutions.
