Selective rage

Reply in thread

I don't know how people got that take from Tropic Thunder when they explicitly make reference inside the movie to how messed up and wrong it was. Like, that was the joke. RDJ was playing a character so full of himself that took method acting to it's extreme. Am I missing something? Id love to be educated

Amanda Knox faces a new slander trial in Italy that could remove the last legal stain against her

Reply in thread

Regardless of the online mob, she was done dirty by the Italian police system. A small town cop singled her out without a shred of evidence while the Rudy Guede who was later convicted for the murder and who's DNA was all over the place was on the run in Germany. Just tragic situation all around because she spent 2 years in jail awaiting trial. I live in Italy, and I can tell you the Italian justice system is a farce.

EDIT: Correction was made to this post. Rudy did not confess to the actual murder as far as I can find. He did confess to being in the apartment however. Thanks to @[email protected] for the correction.

Trump MAGA supporters crash Harris’ rally ... and she smokes them with a great one-liner

When there is nothing at stake for you you have the luxury of voting third party. That is essentially a vote for Trump. We know you know this because it's been explained to you in every post. Must be nice having all that privilege.

The rest of us, in the meantime have to live with the consequences of your decision. As parents, as students saddled with debt, as members of every minority community under attack, as children whose school lunches are being taken away, as children of DACA: a very hearty fuck you from the bottom of our hearts.

It's funny, because mixed use zoning is some of the most desirable places to live in terms of market value. People don't want to drive for. Every. Single. Thing.

[meme] Lawns and car storage — name a more wasteful use of land

Reply in thread

Grass has an extremely low runoff coefficient. The water absorption is almost on par with impervious surfaces. This is because the root system of most turf/gras systems is only a few inches deep. On the other hand native grasses, fescues, and trees are excellent for water infiltration! Rain gardens are also good choices as they promote pollinators. I'm a landscape architect --happy to answer any questions.

Errata: meant to say high runoff coefficient --not low.

Why Americans aren’t buying more EVs

Would be nice if they made 'dumb' EVs. Like the kind where even the windows are manual old school roll up. I don't need to walk into a spaceship to drive to get groceries. But all they're selling are luxury spaceships. For all the good Tesla did to rebrand the market, I feel it also did a lot of harm by creating an incentive for luxury vehicles.

Biden's message to Iran about retaliatory strike on Israel: 'Don't'

Reply in thread

It really sucks that Joe is hitching his legacy to this shitty government (Israel). I'm guessing this is meant as a general strategy to moderate the conflict leaking out of Gaza. But I can't imagine support for the conflict is still high among US Israelis but I'd have to fact check that. Does Joe need the Jewish vote more than the youth in this election? I just don't get it.
