@douglaspynn my bad - sorry for my mistake. I probably got a bad experience - everytime I got involved with zoning regulations and things like that, it took months and endless meetings, tons of paperwork and plans etc !

Looks like there is this box I need to fill in ? Here out of curiosity, one of the few recent arrivals who isn't a refugee from the birdsite. Currently interested in #metaverse, #web3, #ai ; professionally working in #realestate and #retail; always been interested in #art and especially #music, #history #geopolitics #photography #travel #technology and generally looking at where humanity is going and trying to second guess what's next.
@douglaspynn good luck turning office space into housing... looks good on paper but it's dreadfully complicated and expensive. In great part because of zoning regulations etc. And in the meantime, large parts of downtowns are dying... also in "defence of the office" - for many people, it's an important place to socialize.
@mcnees thanks, beautiful link!
@JasonPerseus with a dash of "see ? No gun control is necessary because shooters are always deranged/abnormal/etc"...
@wihtlore yup, agreed - mostly the Bible is about struggles so the adversary needs to be inhumanly big and strong. Maybe also, an idea of the Fall ? Giants as remnants of an age where creatures were more powerful etc
@wihtlore what I would like to understand is why the ancient Jews were so obsessed with tall beings. It feels like all non human beings in the Bible are some sort of giants? Never any sort of dwarfs or gnomes ?
@wihtlore @histodons thanks for posting this - hadn't seen that elsewhere !
Read this interview this morning and felt I'd post it here for wider reach - some pretty good points about drag shows and how they got turned into a battlefront. Also let's face it - a drag show about Santos is an absolutely brilliant idea.
