I literally tried to describe this is how they do it in France to a friend recently. She was like “wait they bury their trash and use elevators?!” Had to just show her a pic like this. I have to admit the first time I saw it, it floored me… like “holy fuck never thought of that…”
I’m not sure if you live in NYC, but there will typically be a courtyard next to big apartment buildings, often home for a trash area for the entire complex, among other things.
Unless you have the misfortune of being in Paris during a garbage strike, in which case there are just giant piles of rubbish all over vatious streets, sidewalks, and alleys.

That happens in literally any city that has a garbage collector strike.
Doesn’t matter how the collection system works if nobody is doing the collecting, that trash is gonna a pile up
There’s no way for it to get stuck. The underground bin bit is completely sealed and also a bit smaller than the hole it goes into, hence the metal plate between the visible and non-visible bits
Also because our taxes go towards infrastructure rather than killing brown people, things…just work
i believe it’s possible for us to be better. to accept the ‘human condition’ is a death sentence as a species. throughout history, we have brief moments of exemplary behavior. we are capable of more. don’t accept the current state of affairs.
It’s probably an unpopular opinion, but if public school chaplain positions are open to everyone, if they provide spiritual counsel to students who want it, without proselytizing or coercing students into religious activities, and if their work is controlled by the school to stay sure they don’t contradict scientific teachings and respect the psychological development and freedom of children, they can be a good thing. Secular France has this kind of chaplains, and it’s great; somehow I don’t believe it’s possible today in Florida.
And my point is that chaplaincy in general is not really relevant to the way they want to do it in Florida. What you’re calling a chaplain is not what they are thinking of as a chaplain. It might sound similar, but they want someone to preach Christianity to children. All of them. That’s the goal there. Sunday school in regular school all day every day.
This is not about France’s idea of school chaplaincy because that’s not in any way what this is or intends to be just because it used the word “chaplain” in the job description.
That’s how Lemmy works. Most of us kind of agree on things. There aren’t many hard core religious or hard core republicans here. So we end up yelling at each other in frustration, establishing the left-leaning as the far right of Lemmy.
Well I mean it’s not like there’s hundreds of thousands of Americans with crippling food insecurity, no homes, no healthcare, inadequate wages, poisonous water, and/or gun violence; so the government is fine making sure it has the capacity it nearly exterminate the human race. Right guys?

So as far as legislators are concerned, a win-win.
Lots of other places do too. That’s why true city size should be counted as the metropolitan population, not just the city borders. In that case, Houston is 5th, beaten by Dallas/Fort Worth at 4th, which surprisingly means Texas has 2 metropolitan areas out of in the top 5 in the country.
This simply isn’t backed by statistics. While Houston is the 4th most populous American city, it’s only ~200th in density. If “Lots of other places [did] too,” then they wouldn’t be half as far down that second list.
I can’t think a single reasonable metric that wouldn’t net at least a couple of us cities among the top 20. In fact the only metric that I can come up with is “not in America because of my irrational hate for it .”
Public transportation, walkability, cycling infrastructure, and public spaces. Why are you so convinced I’m foaming at the mouth hating on america. I’m just a dude who thinks our cities suck.
It’s just my opinion. A world class city imo should have excellent public transportation, cycling infrastructure, parks and public gathering spaces, and traffic calmed commercial districs. Basically a world class city should have a lot of things worth visiting and infrastructure that lets you visit those places easily and comfortably without relying on a car.
No north american city meets those standards in the way that some european cities do.
I’m still so pissed that Chicago dumps their sewage into the Mississippi instead of the lake where it belongs. New Orleans has enough shit thank you very much.
It’s a multifaceted issue thats predominantly socioeconomic. Urban areas are less likely to have greenery, brick and asphalt and concrete make the areas much much hotter than an area with green coverage or even just dirt. High rates of obesity and heart disease, poorer quality food resources make it difficult for the body to adapt.
In some places, GOP policy has made it legal for business to deny water breaks, and if we’re going based solely on statistical distribution of labor per group, blacks have higher rates of outside/physical jobs, another systematic and socioeconomic issue.
The third issue is that in these areas, health care is often poorer quality/under funded, even when they do get to the hospital/ER/urgent care facility, they die at higher rates of similar diseases than other areas.
I mean, you’ve got to be stupid to be a MAGA head. But being gay and a MAGA head you need to be terminally dumb. Amazing that such people can breathe without intellectual assistance.
Yup, every Republican woman is deeply into self loathing. I can’t tell you how many Republican woman I’ve heard say women can’t be leaders or it takes a man to do what’s right.
That’s just another tactic of projection. Republican woman are just mad that they aren’t men and need to justify their own subjugation by ensuring they get second place in the social hierarchy instead of questioning why there’s a hierarchy in the first place. Thinking for yourself is difficult, so being told what to do is easy. Even if that means being told to hate yourself. Hell Christianity’s first chronological story boils down to “women are the reason life sucks.”
Sure, and the successor won’t become corrupt when owners, industrials and richs hand over some envelopes to make things faster. Two years and 8 envelopes later, he will take it as all his peers do as well.
