@TheGoonch yet another article that’s functionally the same as a police report with absolutely nothing to add.

@AncientFutureNow awesome! It’s great to see local music on here!

@punkisundead absolutely opposed to it. From my experiences in the local activist scene which tends to emphasize left unity, it’s especially shitty as an anarchist to be talked down because of my issues with tons of hierarchy and abuse in those orgs because “we’ve gotta have left unity”. The only solution I can think of is to split off and commit to anarchist principles, knowing that it will alienate many.

@kescusay @AncientFutureNow I’m personally more annoyed about people (including on occasion the cops themselves) who drive and park right in the middle of the bike lane. Seems to mostly be a problem around Dave’s Hot Chicken, likely because they have curbside pickup even though the building is surrounded by bike lanes so there’s no real curb to speak of.

Either way, I’m not so sure that arresting people would be particularly helpful for either problem. There’s got to be another way, somehow.

@kescusay perhaps then, a larger effort must be made to encourage people on the Eugene sub to migrate, either to Emerald Social (from where they can join) or to Lemmy

@kescusay thankful that I don’t have one lol

@AncientFutureNow I have no idea. It seems like it was a one-off event

@bamfic I would argue instead that it really doesn’t matter what people do. The decision to close the hospital has already been made and probably won’t be reversed. Starting from the assumption that no action will do anything for this, why should it matter what people do regarding this, as long as it’s not hurting anyone?

(Okay I’ll get off my soapbox now lol)

@letsmakeafriendship I would love to see even more spending on cycling infrastructure. We’re already a pretty good city for cycling (we’re no Amsterdam, but pretty amazing by US standards) but why not throw more money at it?
