Most transit advocates prefer trams/streetcars over buses. They’re safer and can coexist with people much better.

Yes, but depending on the locality they may only need to treat it as a stop sign (and can proceed if it’s clear) instead of waiting for a green.
So instead of what you originally said (that we magicked up extra money for Ukraine), your argument is that we’re using money that we spent anyway, and would keep spending regardless in order to maintain our global standing? Very persuasive.
Literally just old shit we had in the closet. It’s not pallets of cash, it’s the value of the old equipment that we no longer need to store.
Subsistence farming. However:
Farming blows
If everyone has to farm then no one can specialize to do other things
If you think the USA is a car-dependent sprawl that’s terrible for the environment currently, wait until literally everyone has enough land to sustain themselves and requires infrastructure to connect it all
Apple users do have a choice. Apple isn’t the only game in town. If those users disagree with Apple and want Tate shit, they can use a different platform.
Apple hit a sweet spot with this. x86_64 applications run at acceptable speed (making the transition easy for people who buy the hardware) while not being SO good that there’s zero reason for developers to start porting their software.
The ideal would be a cooling of the market that puts increases well below the rate of inflation for an extended period (or forever lol)
Centralized communities all turn into what Twitter and Reddit became eventually. They benefits for the owners (money, control) are too great to ignore forever once you’re big enough. Decentralized communities have more resilience, provided no individual server gets too big.
Podcasts seem to have figured out monetizing without centralization.
There’s a wealth of options between suburban sprawl and 50 story towers of 300 sqft apartments.

Further: legalizing density doesn’t mean that you personally are forced into them. There will always be a market for detached single family homes, especially if you don’t value being in a city anyway.
lmao okay dude. That’s a lot of projection.
It may surprise you to know that in a thread where I advocate for the US giving Ukraine cluster munitions, that I don’t care that Ukraine has been using cluster munitions.
As stated by another, your Pentagon source is out of date. It’s pretty funny though that you reject HRW saying Russia is using them, but use HRW as your source that Ukraine is.
WRT chemical weapons: different things are different. When you can contain things in an AOR, I’m less concerned about the lingering effects. Areas can be closed off and cleared, especially when you’re the one that dropped them. That’s way less possible with chemical weapons, that will literally drift with the wind.

Chemical weapons: no, due to their effects easily leaving the AOR. Petal mines: yes. Crimea and the Donbas are occupied Ukrainian territory.
Russia is already using them
I’ll defer to the defenders WRT what weapons they need.
Buddy, lots of us had outrage when the US invaded Iraq. You just can’t handle when the conversation shifts from it for 5 minutes because an even worse thing is happening.
Yep, and that’s a good thing.
“But Iraq!” is literally all these people have. As if two things can’t be bad at the same time.
Not to mention a literal attempted coup.
