You are correct, this list is suggesting the casual is the problem. Eg, "oh my gosh, I'm soooo OCD about my Starbucks order".

It's definitely not, the braves have faced criticism over their name and iconography for a long time

And your experience is reflective of all folks who have OCD? I can absolutely imagine someone being pretty upset by seeing how casually "oh I'm just OCD" gets tossed around. I'm qu…

It's often used in a wild west sorta way, "we were surrounded by braves". It's super outdated, for sure, as are most words that mean "my enemy's warriors".

I don't read it as conflating, they just say these are all harmful, not that they are equally harmful. A hangnail is harmful and a car crash is harmful, I try to avoid both. I'm le…

Too soon to say. Seattle just opened up zoning after fighting a bunch of nimby pushback. Prices seem to have fallen very very recently. Hopefully the upzoning helps more.

It's not an addition. It's a totally separate building with four rental units.

Did your parents build 2 additional units in a building detached from their house and charge rent, including to people who weren't you from day 1? If so, then yes. (Assuming it did…

She wants to build 4 rental units on a lot in downtown. That's an apartment building. Why should an apartment building with 4 units be exempt from offering affordable housing? She …

This policy is good, and this isn't even an edge case. This is a landlord who is about to spend a million dollars on more rental units and doesn't want to provide affordable units.…

Yeah, why should we do any planning or zoning at all! Every individual is equipped with all the knowledge and expertise to make good planning decisions that impact their neighborho…

Or make the units that she's renting to her kids at affordable prices stay affordable units for 75 years. That seems eminently reasonable. "Landlord plans $1m expansion of non affo…

A landlord in Seattle wants to spend $1m to build apartments, discount them for her children but not be on the hook to extend that discount to meet local building regs around affor…

There is tons and tons of evidence that Musk is moderating capriciously at this point.

Because if they don't they have 60 days before they get deported.

Classical liberals are typified by Reagan style republicans and the current democratic party - business first, pro capital, infinite growth party.

The policy says comments like, "follow me @ on Instagram" are explicitly forbidden. One could very easily argue linking to ones own Facebook post could fall afoul.

Of course

You used the expression correctly, but it often implies, "... and therefore the criticism is invalid." E.g., NYT shouldn't level this criticism because it could also be subject to …

There's no defense of this policy. (It's his platform, he's free to do what he wants within the bounds of the law, of course, it's just a stupid policy and antithetical to free spe…

It, unfortunately, regularly hits the front page.

It's Quillette, a right wing propaganda outlet. They write articles to serve their narrative first, then true to bend facts to that narrative. I'm always surprised when it shows up…

The statement is "[4chan] is linked to massacres". This is simply a statement of fact, and it doesn't mean NYT isn't. (I'll be the first to call the NYT a rag, as a leftist, but it…

A just hierarchy might be: "we are working with a federation composed of 40 other anarchist groups. We elect a delegate and delegate small decisions to them, and they can be remove…

I've met those types of anarchists. They get nothing done in the name of ideological purity. They'll still be getting nothing done two centuries from now. I think incrementalism is…
