so this is how i learn that gmail has AI shit integrated, lmao

the coming winter is going to be terrifying

communists do bad things in the process of doing good things
capitalists do good things in the process of doing bad things

“confusingly uncivil” makes me think that mods should just have an “egg on face” button, for things that don’t deserve actual action but they still want to shame

“this user has eggs on their face”

only 4 hands? i regularly encounter packaging for other things that require 15 hands and small industrial machinery to open

but surely they could just crush the hard plastic bollards?

what’s wild to me is that they use posts that are obviously flexible, like why can they not just use hard plastic poles? it’s not gonna make jackshit difference for drivers beyond maybe scratching their paint more, but will look solid and actually discourage crossing them.

so how precisely do you suggest we transition away from cars in cities? just tell people living rurally to suck it up until 30 years in the future when we’ve gotten around to making public transport in their area usable?

park&ride when done right is fine, it’s a fine way to prevent people from losing their minds about change, don’t let perfection be the enemy of improvement.

okay so you don’t have to drive there at all, you just choose to do so.

edge of city park-and-ride is there to shut up the numbnuts who cry “but how will i get into the city?!?!?!”

why would you need to drive to ikea? do other countries not do delivery?

Delivery from my nearest IKEA warehouse which is ~70km away in a completely different city costs 50 EUR, or 30 if you join “IKEA family”

park and ride should be done where land is cheap, like at the edge of an urban area.
Then you just slap down a station and a cheapo parking garage and maybe a small convenience store/café and bam

i mean, yeah.

think about what person around you feels most comfortable to approach and initiate some sort of contact with them, maybe bring them a small gift (home-cooked food is generally a good bet). Doesn’t have to start big, just talk to people and try to get some sense of familiarity going. Hell just start by greeting people.

Humans are inherently social, it’ll probably go better than you imagine.

unf, ugh uh
HYAAAAAAAAGH

it also just makes more sense in general, no one would say “hi i’m from the EU”, so why on earth do people say “hi i’m from the US” or “hi i’m from canada”?

that’s murcia

fiona?

it sounds like you’ve exercised wrong, it’s like people who eat nothing but dry joyless salad for a week and then act like healthy food inherently sucks…

just fuckin walk around a room while lifting something heavy in various ways until you feel tired, perfectly decent exercise that i can’t imagine a normal person finding anything worse than boring, which is remedied by putting on a podcast

important to note that you can still get stronger and benefit from exercise without excess protein intake, just training the nerves does a lot.

also things like pasta and beans/lentils have very respectable amounts of protein, i’ve grown plenty of muscle without any particular diet or supplements.
