Guys. I am pretty sure that is Moynihan train station next to Penn Station. People sitting on the floor are literally leaning against the stairs down to the track. Thats is where people lineup to go on the train when it arrives at the station. Of course you don't put benches there. In this station there is a seating area where all you need to do is show your train ticket. On the other side there's a food hall with lots of public seating. There just isn't seating directly where all the foot traffic is. I take trains in the North East corridor on Amtrak somewhat often. There's seats there. Just not where seating would obstruct movement on and off the train platforms.

"is" or "strives to be" a monopoly? I think the value of monopoly criticism gets diluted when used to liberally to not actually describe them. I would not say every "decent sized company" out there is a monopoly...

I'm not a PS layout kind of person. I looked at the more Xbox designed ones, but don't folks say the ergonomics aren't great? They have yours wrists or hands almost at parallel angles instead of a more open position based on the grip design? I almost went

Isn't the point of directtv kind of anti monopoly. Satellite has no specific footprint like cable where geographic monopolies are carved out.... But the real monopoly is when it's all exclusively on ESPN or whatever Disney's streaming service is. Like apple TV with mls being the 1 global streamer.

Didn't a Japanese company make a controller with native steam input? Is that controller any good? The thing with 8bitdo and the like is you can't map back paddles to unique inputs via steam and they only can duplicate face buttons by programming the controller iirc.

I have a gulikit kk3, but I don't love the dongle and don't love the lack of native steam controller configuration for back paddles. Other than that, the hardware has been good for me.

The bullshit that gets upvoted/downvoted here, does not get that on reddit. It's really weird to see some of the cultural differences between the two platforms in terms of user base.

We drug animals for flights all the time, it’s practically a requirement. Until the age of at least 5, kids are essentially animals with just as little self-control

Not only do I think it’s ok to give them something that would help them sleep through it, I think it should be mandatory.

I don't think this level of bullshit would fly in the reddit equivalent of r/worldnews

You see on Lemmy, it's okay to say children are "essentially animals", unless it's in the context of Israel referring to infants in Gaza as essentially animals. The fucking crazy shit that gets upvoted in Lemmy vs reddit is weird. It's like a giant reading group of edgy undergrads in here most of the time.

At literally every point of modern history, a reduction in the amount of humans was beneficial for the vast amount of humans in the long run.

Like, even the Black Death led to reduced wealth inequality and the beginnings of workers rights.

I don't see how someone can claim that the mass death of people is simultaneously beneficial to that people.

There's a difference in reduction of humans by events that cause death at large scale vs decline in rates of reproduction. Clearly catostrophic death is being used as an example of "a reduction in the amount of humans."

Did you read the comment I responded to saying that the black death was good because a lot people died and as a result created a better labor market? That's saying death is a good thing to cull surplus labor.

Can't believe we have someone getting so many up votes for saying that the black plague was a good thing? Would you say that about all the deaths during COVID? This upvoted edgelord callousness is nuts.

Yeah. I never understood why DEI required a discreet team. It seems like it should just be a function, commitment, and initiative of HR.
