Oh yeah! It looks different from the side, my brain went right to AT-AT lol

Reverse uno, go make an "AskPolitics" then, and pair with the mods here to promote it on the sidebar. Could literally say "Rule 6: No Politics. For political questions go to /c/AskPolitics"
That would be fine. God knows online forums have enough places to discuss current events - I'm fine with asking open ended historical or contextual questions, but "Who should win the election" or other posts like that I think should have a different home.
That's what we've been doing here in Seattle. We don't have nearly the rail you do, but we just had a major expansion open and while 3 of the new stations do have large car parks, most of the land is reserved for housing. Instead of 6 large car parks we have one garage.
The ironic thing is conservatives are laughing at the rail we built as a "failed plan" because - the car park fills up too fast! Obviously it needed more parking! Our train has failed already because it is too popular. And it's unfair that all these people who choose to live by it get to use it so easily! What about my suburban home?! /s
That's definitely heavy handed, but sometimes definitely necessary. There's some big troll instances out there, and once they're blocked Lemmy gets a lot nicer.
I do suggest with starting individually, keeping a mental note of the instance. Then you are more sure when you're like "Damn 10x the ones are from foo.bar, guess it's time"
Because it was politics, and AskLemmy was a bad place for it. An open ended politics community sounds like a better place.
However @mods, I do propose that an explicit "No Politics" become a rule here to prevent confusion in the future.
Is that an AT-AT in the background?
He's not the one making the movies though, he's an actor. I don't like what my company does but it's not like they're asking me what I think
That's really the problem. When I friends from small towns come and visit I can see they're on edge the entire time while I'm just doing what I do every day. Yes there's a person sleeping there. Yes someone is screaming a block down. There's traffic noise, and the subway isn't the cleanest - but it's normal, that's what I'm used to. It takes a bit of thicker skin, but once you realize nothing is really unsafe about it it gets easier. Problem is voters from tiny 20,000 population places vote with that fear already, and think that cities are unsafe. We can't bring everyone to the city and hold their hand.
Same boat there friend, was a blast seeing it! Glad I saw my version but then of course FOMO because I never saw the TTPD version - but I'd be satisfied enough to see a video
Come to uplifting news! We turn news that seems good and still make you feel horrible!
Can we please just celebrate partial wins? Please?
I actually love New Girl, a guilty pleasure. Everyone is still a sociopath because in a sitcom every character has to be for a show to be interesting, but putting that aside they all were relatable and gelled well together.
