Comment Slashdot: progressive stories, ignorant comments (Score 5, Insightful) 164

I've noticed slashdot tends to have progressive stories such as this but then the comment section is mostly full of ignorant trolling posts. Today is the Transgender Day of Remembrance marking over 350 trans people that have been killed worldwide in the past year, and the comments here are about looking like an old guy in drag and tranny retards. I have moderator points right now but would rather say something. When is the older, whiter, more conservative slashdot audience going to come around, in a way that companies like even IBM have?

Comment I appreciate it (Score 1) 769

As a trans person it feels like my government is trying to erase me. I appreciate these companies doing this and making me feel safer. Also good god these comments, is *everyone* on slashdot anti-trans? Do you know any trans people in person?

This thread is great, the topography and railroads influencing the grid orientations hadn't occurred to me. I did hear that in Boston, the cow paths became sidewalks and then streets, so Boston was perhaps designed by cows. I think the sun is also a factor. Many streets line up with the summer solstice sunset: https://sztanko.github.io/sols... I was saddened to realize that Los Angeles's downtown never lines up with the solstice, but many others do, like in boyle heights. Last solstice I went out and watched one. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bk...
