pearable , to technology in ‘Zombie Offices’ Spell Trouble for Some Banks - The New York Times

Mirror for folks on voyager: web.archive.org/…/commercial-real-estate-banking-…

pearable , to news in A 7,000-Pound Car Smashed Through a Guardrail. That’s Bad News for All of Us.

They should regulate the weight of cars. There’s no reason passenger vehicles should be as heavy as they are. For EVs they honestly shouldn’t have as much range as they do. 150 miles and improved charging infrastructure, make charging easier for folks who park on the street, is a better way to go. Folks who need to drive more than that a day should have a hybrid or ICE vehicle. Ideally a small fuel efficient one. Folks who need pickups for work should be able to buy the small European versions or work vans.

pearable , to nostupidquestions in Where are the good political songs?

Freedom is a Verb by Daniel Kahn and the Painted Bird is a favorite of mine

pearable , to news in Biden's retaliatory strikes in Middle East come with significant political risk: Experts

Honestly tho. ISIS was born in Abu Graib, a US run prison. The Taliban was a reaction to the warlords the US funded in the war against the USSR. Hamas has been funded by Israel, a US supported ally, for years. All the alternatives to Hamas in Gaza were suppressed. And this is just the middle east. The same pattern is repeated in South America and East Asia.

I hope they’ll do retrofits. I wonder what that would do to the housing market. If it actually made housing affordable a huge chunk of investors and home owners would be royally pissed. Great way to decrease homelessness, and I might be able to afford a house, but I doubt they’ll do it for that and previous reasons.

pearable , to technology in Netflix is turning into cable TV

I would call WWE shitty because of what they do to their performers. The performers are artists and deserve our respect tho.

pearable , (edited ) to games in An Important Update about Riot’s Future

I disagree. In a society where people need to work to support themselves working for Riot is not beyond the pale. If we had a UBI, universal jobs program, or a plethora of cooperative enterprises I’d agree.

pearable , to games in An Important Update about Riot’s Future

Care to elaborate? It sounds like you’re cheering for folks, who have little to no control over how the company operates, loosing their way of making a living.

pearable , to technology in YouTube and Spotify Won’t Launch Apple Vision Pro Apps, Joining Netflix

I’ve seen the LTT video on that. Trouble is I’d need a computer to power it since my work computer struggles as it is. I work from home and the office and being able to use it in both environments would be helpful. Base stations are a pain in the ass to setup when you want to switch location a couple times a week.

One of the standalone headsets make a lot more sense for my use case. I’ve been thinking about getting a quest 3 but I need to use one to see if the fidelity is good enough. I wish there was a linux based headset I could tinker with but the VR market is still young. Hopefully Valve will pull a steam deck in VR.

Admitably I have too much money, but I might buy one of these in a few years as a monitor replacement. Depends on how good it is and how good the alternatives are

pearable , to world in NATO admiral warns of potential all-out war with Russia

Be the change you want to see in the world. Collapse society yourself /s

pearable , to technology in Ultraviolet light can kill almost all the viruses in a room. Why isn’t it everywhere?

Joke aside, looks like they’re using a higher bandwidth of light, 222nm compared to more common 254nm uv for medical uses. It doesn’t penetrate the skin or eyes sufficiently to cause damage.

pearable , to news in The 'old American Dream died,' Realtor details salary needed to buy a home, afford a middle class life in 2024

We live in the most effectively propagandized society ever created. It hasn’t been until more recently that it’s started to slip. A lot of folks still believe in the old lies and believe that everything would work if we just got rid of the immigrants, Jews, and corrupt politicians. Still I think more people are waking up to the reality that this system is broken not the people in it.

pearable , to news in Buying Home and Auto Insurance Is Becoming Impossible

Bailing them out might not work at scale but ensuring they have somewhere to live when things get too hot, literally and metaphorically speaking, is feasible and will prevent the negative consequences of millions of displaced people.

pearable , to asklemmy in ELI5 why is anarchy not "the guy with the bigger stick" making the rules?

This is proven incorrect. While many societies throughout history have been heirarchical, many were egalitarian and rejected heirarchy. Mutual Aid: A Factor in Evolution, Worshipping Power, and The Dawn of Everything all talk about various early societies many of which reject authoritarian structures. One still existing group of egalitarian societies in Africa is called the San, by all accounts they’ve been around for millenia. I’m not aware of a long lasting egalitarian industrial society but the idea that human beings are incapable of living free from some authority is simply untrue.
