We need more parks.
- rolph 3y agoits a larger scale than that. we need to be allowed to be human again.
- MrGilbert 3y agoAt some point we might realize that maximizing shareholder value wasn’t the right way.
- WalterBright 3y ago1. quality 2. price 3. service You only get to choose two.
- mjevans 3y ago'Pick _at most_ two'; though these days we're lucky to optimize for even one, let alone any!
- ryandrake 3y agoTell that to the shareholders! Won’t someone think of them for a change? Those fourth yachts aren’t going to buy themselves!
- M95D 3y agoFor a long time investments have been promoted as the best way to save money. I bet there are shareholders right here, reading my reply. You can tell them directly how their investments indirectly enshittifies the world.
- renewiltord 3y agoAs a yellow-bellied sapsucker, the human transformation ban has caused me to consider killing myself many a time. I went to see a Avatar : The Way of Water in 3-D the other day and I had to keep turning my head repeatedly to see.
- renewiltord 3y agoAh, we're doing that thing where we say the thing we want, projecting its absence as the cause of something undesirable. Here's mine: We need more turn-based couch co-op video games.
- ironmagma 3y agoI mean, yeah, usually when people want something it's because its absence is undesirable. Video games already have a system that encourages their existence; parks are fundamentally revenue-losers on the other hand, and building them is more of an act of investment in humanity than a result of economics.
- renewiltord 3y agoSuicides are undesirable, but parks won't solve them.
- ironmagma 3y agoI don't agree, but let's pretend you're right. What will then? No sense in dismissing the idea without an alternative.
- renewiltord 3y agoI told you: two-player couch-coop turn based games. We need more of them.
- ironmagma 3y agoThose are already well-incentivized. What’s the incentive for creating a park?
- renewiltord 3y agoIt's nice to have parks. They're well incentivized. As a matter of fact, I believe humanity has seen many more park-years than multiplayer-turn-based-couch-coop-years.
- Fricken 3y agoThere's parks. They're mostly empty.
- ironmagma 3y agoOK, but are most people within 1 kilometer of a park? > People living more than 1 kilometer away from a green space have nearly 50 percent higher odds of experiencing stress than those living less than 300 meters from a green space [1] [1] https://www.nrpa.org/our-work/Three-Pillars/health-wellness/ParksandHealth/fact-sheets/parks-improved-mental-health-quality-life/ https://www.nrpa.org/our-work/Three-Pillars/health-wellness/...
