  • I clicked through and had to go to a second linked article(!) for the top 5. The #1 is “Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, Texas”, which is pretty much a blue city now.

    This doesn’t really support your claim that “they are all red”. Also, we call a “blueish spot surrounded by red” a blue city.

    From what I am learning about in this thread is there isn’t really the idea of a “red city”, so when people talk shit about “blue cities” they are just talking about city life in general. There does not appear to be any very large cities filled with Republicans.

    I hear this argument over and over again: “Why should I bother recycling? China is poisoning the planet.” It’s like reverse-whataboutism. I find it really lazy and a pointless attitude. The argument generalizes to: “Why do anything good when bad exists in the world?”

    Cleanliness is its own reward. I can tell you if I lived in stink-town where 100% of everyone else’s house was a festering mess, I would keep mine clean.

    Being ecologically friendly is its own reward.

    If your neighbor’s house and lawn is cluttered with garbage and rotting food, do you also let your house gather the same?

    Or do you wish they did a better job and kept your house clean all the same?

    What if you had 95 neighbors all full of garbage and rotted food? Is there any number that would make you do the same?



  • I don’t care which one you use, just don’t change it once it’s established. So many legacy Yocto projects got broken cause open source libraries changed their branch names.

    This was one of the arguments when the renaming was first proposed. “Just rename it, it won’t break anything! It’s only racists that want to keep the name!”

    Sure, except for all the CI/CD scripts, release scripts, etc that all have “master” there and are now broken.

    I know of a company that their entire CI pipeline was broken overnight because some “helpful” person renamed the branch to master but didn’t bother checking out their pipelines…
