There are always 200 events between you and ownership of the galaxy.

Well, to be precise, ozone is used to treat water. However, ozone is not a molecule that's stable enough to be shipped by itself, so industrial uses of ozone requires synthesis on the spot. And the way you synthesize ozone is by zapping a pure oxygen atmosphere with electrical arcs. You can't use regular air, because the nitrogen in air tends to form nitrogen oxides instead, so you need the pure form of oxygen--which in industrial quantities is shipped as liquid oxygen.

No, seperation is a very reasonable position. Some US-based developers and companies tend to forget that not only their ideology is not fully supported within their own country but more importantly that the rest of the world, even if not vocal about, often disagree. There are a lot of different cultures, values and opinions around the world (you know, the actual diversity) and inevitably one political opinion good for virtue signaling points in the US will rub people elsewhere in the wrong way. Pushing it too hard will also produce opposite result by polarizing people more. Some people/culture won't change anyway (cough cough 800 millions USD for promoting women rights in Afghanistan). So stop your cultural imperialism and let the professional stuff separated from your myopic politics.

I've all but stopped taking Uber / Lyft in SF since the pool option was removed and $6 dollar rides started becoming $20+. Mostly adjusted lifestyle by:

1. Taking buses
2. Traveling less in general

I guess the $6 ride business model was never sustainable.

I'm actually all for better treatment of ride-share drivers, but I can't help but feel that it doesn't necessarily help drivers if the volume of rides drop significantly as they get more expensive due to regulations.

I've noticed most commentary around this topic tend to skirt this issue. What is a sensible response to this?

If you think downsizing is a con, you might find that city life is not for you. Unless you are relatively wealthy, personal space (both in your living space and outside of it) is always limited the closer you get to a big city’s downtown core.

Personally, I love it. I grew up in a small home in a very rural area and as an adult I’ve only lived in urban apartments smaller than about 600 square feet.

I still own a lot of shit, but it’s nothing compared to people I know who live in the suburbs and fill 2000 (or bigger) square foot homes with stuff and have entire rooms they barely use.

Yes this is exactly what happens, and is corroborated by the citations I provided in this comment.

Those are not the same things. For one, "Anglo-Saxon" is English ancestry. It doesn't include all White people.

The US classified people on "race", which isn't exactly the same as Blumenbach's categories but did evolve out of them.

I'll attempt to provide something that sibling commenters haven't.

Pre-amble: It sounds like your results with socializing match my results with job finding ;)

Something I've noticed among my other friends in their 20s and early thirties, not that it necessarily matters, is that they have social anxiety and not any common ground with anyone. They live relatively isolated lives, either behind a screen or largely in their apartments. Socializing stopped shortly after high-school, when it wasn't easy anymore. I think part of this is a symptom of people not having anything to do in public that involves "hanging out". Every hobby I do except for maybe two involves just ambiently being present in public space. The gym, outdoor workout facilities, being in nature, being at the skatepark, going to concerts maybe, sitting outside at a coffee shop and generally being unassuming. People live in the damn suburbs or in skyscrapers, where there's fucking no reason to be around anyone else. My friends also almost entirely rely on work for their social life. I live at ground level near cafes and in a neighborhood where people are walking around for enjoyment (only for the latest few years of my life), and I wouldn't trade it for anything. These are the conditions that prevent you from meeting other people in neutral space, where you can talk and drink and play. Most cities out there are designed to crush your soul.

Other people mention that it gets better later in life, and it's possible, but I'd wager that it's only because you stop caring rather than actually having a substantial social life. Starting to position yourself better now is a much better idea. It takes time, but it's doable.

The other thing is that much like jobs, sometimes rejection happens for reasons beyond your control, sometimes in your control. You just need to let yourself naturally meet a lot of people, some subset of which you can develop further. Meet those friends of your "work friends", so when that job goes away, you're social life won't because you developed the secondary or tertiary connections.

Loneliness sucks, but it'll turn around. Just start hanging out more, and don't expect anything to happen. Before you know it, you'll meet someone interesting.

p.s I have ADHD and it lets me really get into conversations and try new things that expose me to fun circumstances. Maybe that's you too.
The four women I quoted are pointing out that workers prefer to have safer venues for doing business, more community connections, and better legal support for their business. To avoid cases of exploitation, improving social welfare is a good response.

Sex work by itself is neither liberating nor exploitative, just as any other domain of work isn't. That determination applies to the circumstance of the work, not the domain. Better policies can improve protections for sex workers and prevent coercive abuse as they have done in other industries.

> For one, "Anglo-Saxon" is English ancestry. It doesn't include all White people.

From what I can tell, the US notion of "white people" at one point did basically coincide with "Anglo-Saxon"/"Nordic" ancestry - in the broader sense, since OF COURSE there's even several meanings of the former term; for example in the abbreviation "WASP", the "AS" most certainly does not refer solely to English ancestry. So in this case think of "Anglo-Saxon" as of the "AS" in "WASP".

> Second, I'm asking about what you should call the specific classification system the US use(d/s) to label people as Black and White.

It sounds a lot to me like a caste system, as I already said.

> Are racial categories a useful tool in Anthropology and Biology

Absolutely, how else would you for example conceptualize large-scale population movements once you start to analyze population genetics in both current populations and archeological remains? Those groups are racial categories.
> Not to mention photoanalysisd, which burns large amounts of CPU for days/weeks and runs even if you disable the intrusive and obnoxious holiday events/memories features in Photos.

This and many other daemons related to photos is very annoying. I have my photos stored on an external drive because the internal SSD isn’t large enough for that, and it’s a nightmare every time trying to eject the external drive. Even when nothing has changed in the photos library, these daemons will be busy scrubbing the disk and keeping it busy for hours or days. The only solution is to find each process (per user) and kill them.
This is bound to happen as long as we keep practicing emotional approach to solving problems. The real scientific approach consists of breaking the problem down, quantifying different solutions, and prioritizing them based on cost, benefit and risk.

But, unfortunately, present-day people don't want to do that. They want instant gratification. The feeling that they are doing something to address the problem, even if it makes no sense in the long term. And the politicians keep sell them that feeling at a cost of such fiascos.

Mm, perhaps it's tempting to think that. I understand where those feelings might be coming from. Before being on it, I probably felt some variation of that.

The best analogy I can think of is, imagine heating an iron rod over a fire and then pressing it against your skin. Would you want to ignore those feelings if you could?

Whatever part of me changed, I'm glad it did. My suicidal ideation dropped to zero, which I never thought was possible. In fact, I thought it was normal for everyone to go through life feeling somewhat suicidal.
