  • I’m convinced he’s unable to actually read anything we’re saying. He’s projecting that we are the ones being hateful. But he’s blinded by his own hate. It’s really sad to see. No one is taking his car away. I don’t understand how providing multiple forms of mobility is a bad thing. But he believes that car is the only one.

    You can’t reach a person that’s unwilling to read and comprehend what is being said. He’s being contrarian to be contrarian. I hope he gets help, but seeing how he contracts himself, he’s delusional enough that he thinks he’s justified in being an ass. You’ll be unable to have any productive conversation with this individual. But it is truly a sight to behold.


  • Don’t put words in my mouth that I did not say. I never stated a goal without cars. My two examples still have cars and they have public transportation. You’re being entirely disingenuous and contrarian, truly ironic that you’re calling me out as the contrarian. I never said fuck cars. Now this community is called that but it’s just an umbrella for better urban design. So I’ll concede that it’s not helpful language in that specific regard. But if you can provide multiple forms of transportation for everyone that is not a bad thing. To think that’s a bad thing is wild. Some people can’t even afford cars and depends on there cities to provide public transportation. What do you say about those people, do they deserve to improve there material conditions? Cars don’t have to be a primary way for commuting and there’s plenty of people in my two example that don’t use a car to get to and from work. But there’s also people in those countries that do.

    I’ve recently visited my friend in Japan and his family they live about 2 blocks from a station. We traveled all around that city via the subway system. No car, they don’t even have a car, they can’t really even afford one. Cars aren’t always the primary modern necessity of getting around. Now in places like the North America, it very much is. But we can improve conditions for people that can’t afford cars by improving those system. It does not mean remove all cars. If you want to drive a car to and from places you still can. You’ll deal with less traffic. You’ll get to places faster, your quality of live will improve. You still get your car.


  • I’m not. But you’re unwilling to have a productive conversation. With unproductive language. So it’s pointless to really continue this.

    Both countries still have cars. You can still get around with a car. The idea is to reduce car usage so that people that have a need for a car can and with less traffic. You’ll get to point a and b quicker without people that don’t need a car clogging the street. But hey I’m apparently being ableist. When you’re willing to be productive in conversation we can continue with this. But if you’re gonna be thick about it. I’m not interested in continuing this.




  • Prairie Artisan Ales is one of the most unique craft breweries I’ve ever experienced. The downside is it’s in Oklahoma, so I’ll never visit again, but if you get a chance to find some at a local liquor store or import, try it out. Plus the can designs are cool. They have some delicious stuff.

    But yeah LeftHand in Longmont, Colorado is incredible.

    As for European, Belgian Tripel, it is hands down the best.














  • Which… makes sense. The creator of doesn’t like coding.

    I actually hate programming, but I love solving problems. I really don’t like programming. I built this tool to program less so that I could just reuse code. PHP is about as exciting as your toothbrush.

    So PHP it born out of a dislike of coding. In turn the documentation is all over the place and inconsistent.




  • So this is advice I’ve offered many co-workers and friends over the years. This advice actually came directly from my first boss.

    Always try and make time to have a lunch with a former co-worker. Just one, co-worker, it’s one hour, once a month. Just have a lunch with someone, anyone from a former job. This helps in a couple of ways, you keep your network open and you keep it expanding. These people aren’t your friends, but they could turn into friendship if you wish them to be.

    Prior to the pandemic, I had a list of my months, and which co-workers I would reach out to from former jobs. This has been huge for me as it has helped me land new job opportunities and it has turned some former workers into great friendships. But it’s just 12 hours a year, and 12 lunch’s a year. But it’s just enough that I’ll always have someone I can use as a reference.

    I’ve now had many different jobs over the years, but I still schedule lunches with former co-workers. But I make sure to reach back out to people to set these up, it’s helped me also become more social than I normally am.

    So once you’ve got this new job in the bag, do not lose touch with the old co-workers make an effort to have lunch with someone, anyone, but at least someone you wouldn’t pull your hair out after spending an hour with them.

    It’s just 12 hours once a year.

    edit: don’t get me wrong this isn’t an easy task my first boss had to force me to go to lunches I didn’t want to go to.
