It’s the API’s job to validate it either way. As it does that job, it may as well parse the string as an integer.

Too much mercury from all the fish

I’ve noticed the phenomenon of humans desentientizing someone by declaring them as “sacred”, which works as a prelude to “sacrifice”. Seems like some very ancient human bullshit based on objectification, but it’s not objectification for commodification, it’s objectification in the service of the ego by trying to convince one’s ego that you’re not a monster, that you’re nice and good.

I’m not a solipsist.

That’s true, the Amazonians do need air raid sirens due to the chemical air attacks from entrepreneurial colonialists.

polyculture intensifies

I fucking hate timezones. Whatever it is, I’d rather read the current clock as 4 a.m. even if it’s noon than have timezones.

The sound would make for a great emergency alarm system in case of natural disasters or air raids.

The tragedy of the commons is when too many people use a public resource in a way that is unsustainable.

Close, but not.

The “overuse” is an aspect of mismanagement of the commons, it’s not simply about overuse, it’s about the management. The understanding that “someone just used up all that nice stuff” is poor, even in accordance with the author of this theory.

The tragedy is that the its so mismanaged that it allows an asshole to ruin it for everyone. That’s not some default, that’s what happens when you have poor management. Plenty of commons have good management and it’s a known field and theory. If you want to go by this view, you can read Ostrom who actually researched the issue of management:

In practice, however, what you describe as the asshole greedily and selfishly taking from the commons is literally the act of privatization. Which is why the usual capitalist “solution” to this problem - official privatization - is a failure.

Here’s also a humorous podcast explaining what’s wrong with it: https://player.fm/series/srsly-wrong/ep-235-the-imaginary-tragedy-of-the-hypothetical-commons in case you like to listen.

The tragedy of the commons is, literally, privatization.

For us it’s conservatism and its synonyms.

I was referring to this concept: https://sentientmedia.org/food-desert/

No more fighting against boxes of aid for these warriors.

That’s one of my first reasons for realizing that cars are a blight upon the land.

You’re referring to outliers.

If you care about animals, you don’t move to a “desert” where you don’t have a supply of non-animal-based food. That’s the cost of trying to give a shit. You don’t get to be an opportunistic predator, you don’t practice it only when it’s convenient with your business/career plan.

For most people this isn’t even an issue, but carnists love to glom onto the exceptions as if most humans are living on a space station surrounded by asteroid cattle.
