50501 is one group in the coalition running Hands Off. Hands Off is primarily run by a center-left group called Indivisible, but is endorsed/supported by a lot of other center-left to left organizations like the AFL-CIO, ACLU, HRC, DSA.

I don’t understand this political strategy in the long-run. If the left always unflinchingly votes for the leftmost candidate then the optimal strategy for the DNC is always to choose someone just 1% to the left of whoever the Republicans are running.

The trumpers aren’t strong because they always vote. They’re strong because everyone knows that, if Trump isn’t on the ballot, they won’t turn out to vote nearly as strongly.

Combine this with the fact that basically every business interest wants right-wing politics and you get the perpetual rightwards slide of the Democratic Party.

It includes transgender women, but I don't think doing so skews the numbers. AFAIK in the US there are about the same number of trans women as trans men, so any increase in the queer percentage from trans women would be balanced out by the decrease from excluding trans men.

I'd expect an AFAB-specific poll to have a slightly higher queer percentage, since it would include nonbinary people while this poll excludes them.

This one made me laugh. Most I just find to be novel, silly, or interesting, but a fair few are pretty funny to me.

No. Extend is the part where they add their own proprietary features to the protocol that create interoperability problems with the rest of the services using the protocol.

If this question is “Would you rather everyone be able to talk, or just people who are correct?” Then, uhm, correct according to who?

I prefer having a range of forums of different functions, from “Only my friends can speak” to “everyone, save for those who use speech to harass or intimidate, can speak” to “only the teacher can speak.” None of those fit neatly into either category here (even teachers are sometimes wrong).

My bad, I didn’t know HRT was a term used outside of transgender healthcare. Thank you for the info!

Suggested readings? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Was wondering what urbanism-related books people might have read or heard about. I've personally read Walkable City by Jeff Speck, which I found enjoyable and informative. I've also heard of the books written by Charles Marohn (Confessions of a Recovering Engineer and Strong Towns). What others are notable?

You can read Walkable City for free here: http://www.petkovstudio.com/bg/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Walkable-City.pdf , though it's missing anniversary edition content. Don't be scared by the page count, it's only actually like 200.
