    Tbh, a walkable city would also make for nice driving because it would alleviate congestion

          People with trouble walking, service vehicles, delivery trucks, and such are fine. Literally nobody says they shouldn’t get to drive. They also represent like .001% of city traffic.

      adds twelve lanes to my stroad

      One guy needs to move from the far left entrance-lane to the far right exit-lane

      Causes a sixteen car pileup

      Traffic clogged for miles

      This happens a minimum of three days a week

      Guys, cars are just more convenient, you just don’t understand how to take civil engineering seriously.

    Pepe is dead. His creator killed him because of all the far right memes he was used in.

    Just stop.

      Man the whole “pepe is right wing” thing was huge like 4 years ago, now I literally only ever see it mentioned by people like you. It’s a drawing of a frog, if you don’t like it then hide the post.

            No no u dont understand. Once the bad people have used a meme, the good people aren’t allowed to use it anymore!

              I know you’re being sarcastic, but I just absolutely despise that mentality. People seriously think that it’s best to just roll over to the side and surrender every symbol the nazis want for themselves?

                that concept is effectively just the heckler’s veto, and indeed it fucking sucks.

                If we let people continously ruin words and symbols such that we stop using them, they get to decide what words and symbols we use, and have a tool to shape discourse to their favour.

                As a swede, i do not much like the idea of going “welp, nazis used viking imagery, we have to ban runes now”, i don’t want nazis to be able to merrily wipe out the last traces of our past culture.

                  Semiotics is such a fascinating study. The true power of language is astonishing, and I don’t mean marketing. We live our lives in language. LLM’s are going to change the relationship between the planes of content and expression so much that we’re forced back to first principles. It’s a bit surreal understanding this, and watching everyone argue over jobs and copyright.

    Even if we don’t end up winning the Euro football championship, 🇳🇱 is the walkability winner.

    I recently came across this enthusiastic in-depth analysis of a completely unknown and (to us) normal train station somewhere in the province. No sports event will ever make me feel as patriotic as this video.

      the nordics win walkability because we just do not give a fuck and will walk anywhere, i have seen parents with a baby in a stroller going for a walk in the middle of nowhere with cars whizzing past at 60 km/h
