We did it over multiple centuries
My brother in Christ we haven't BEEN HERE for multiple centuries. Fun watching people give zero fucks that their defense of the status quo doesn't make a damn lick of sense or even adhere to basic knowledge of reality.
I try so hard to show people how to do things themselves when they ask me to help them with various tech......whatever, and almost universally get told "no."
Magic rectangle take me to Facebook, if it doesn't I need someone to make the magic rectangle take me to Facebook, and I refuse to understand it any further.
Yes. If we had infinite money, infinite time, and the ability to put people into stasis while we tear up entire cities to retrofit them for a train system… that still wouldn’t solve the problem.
Fun how we had zero fucking problem doing it to every city in the country for cars. 🤷
EDIT: lol so the !fuckcars on lemmy.world is just pro car drama addicts, got it.
I have the same problem in a heavily conservative city - I have a big beard so many of my social conversations go from "shitty job market eh?" to "Target funds antifa terrorists" in record time.
Literally under 30 seconds one time, gave me whiplash. 😂
I saw numbers from some study about tech and people's relationships with it or whatever and it's insane how many people think Facebook is the entire internet now that they've had that integrated browser for so long. It's just all they ever learned of technology, magic rectangle go to Facebook.
I understand not being "tech savvy," a "hobbyist," whatever - but I can't fathom not bothering to consider how something I use daily works AT ALL. I hate cars but I learned enough to understand how to tentatively diagnose a problem and handle minor maintenance myself, but some people take their car to the dealer like 4x a year instead.
Is madness.
I didn't note what the truck in Pic was but an f250 gets 14.5 in city from a quick web search (don't quote me lol
Changing the infrastructure and zoning of an existing city is much easier said than done.
Fun how we had zero fucking problem doing it to every city in the country for cars. 🤷
Thank you for your service.
Past generations saw some level of stability by their 40s and felt that something worked.
Ain't nothing worked for any of us and those people who did turn conservative in their 40s are now 80 and voting to literally murder gay and trans folk.
Yeah, you seem chill to me. ❤️
I saw a dude with nazi tats on the bus today and while I didn't hit him what I told him after he got all huffy and in my face for saying "fuck you nazi" would probably get me moderated. But it involved a famous Inglorious Bastards reference and how it would be the centerpiece at a party I'd be arranging if he touched me.
