I was there in the 80s and 90s. You young people are definitely luckier. You are by far more beautiful, more gentle, you are more welcoming, you don’t discriminate against gays and nerds. Socializing without mobiles was as boring as you can expect.
But you could afford a house on a single income :'(
That doesn’t sound right at all. How could the amount of COBOL code in use quadruple at a time when everyone is trying to phase it out?
Because why they're trying, they need to keep adding business logic to it constantly. Spaghetti code on top of spaghetti code.
TIL boost exists.
Now i have a question - why have two different systems of showing that you like the content? Why do we need boost AND upvote?
ah, the north korean playbook
Ain't nothin' but a miiiiiiistaaaake
yeah people here are generally nicer. I do wish there more more active niche communities though
Post quality is a bigger indicator, and that does seem to be dropping
That's the thing - it's hard to track this. If anything it'll be a slow decline
He was doing so well as the world's capitalist hero right up to the point where he called that British diver involved in the Thai cave rescue a pedo because people who were more experienced than him told him that his harebrained idea wouldn't work.
It’s insane to me how the fuckcars movement went from “we should have walkable cities and more public transport” to “ban all cars”.
have you read the sidebar of the fuckcars communities?
From Wiki (emphasis mine):
The car-free movement is a broad, informal, emergent network of individuals and organizations, including social activists, urban planners, transportation engineers, environmentalists and others, brought together by a shared belief that large and/or high-speed motorized vehicles (cars, trucks, tractor units, motorcycles, etc.)[1] are too dominant in most modern cities. The goal of the movement is to create places where motorized vehicle use is greatly reduced or eliminated, by converting road and parking space to other public uses and rebuilding compact urban environments where most destinations are within easy reach by other means, including walking, cycling, public transport, personal transporters, and mobility as a service.
From Reddit (emphasis mine):
Discussion about the harmful effects of car dominance on communities, environment, safety, and public health. Aspiration towards more sustainable and effective alternatives like mass transit and improved pedestrian and cycling infrastructure.
From lemmy (emphasis mine):
An place to discuss problems of car centric infrastructure or how it hurts us all. Let’s explore the bad world of Cars!
Equating the fuckcars movement to "ban all cars" is like equating climate change to "ban all oil".
Not to mention that they fully expect people to go grocery shopping every single day, or it never crosses their mind because they have no idea what it takes to feed a large family.
My aunt feeds a family of five. She does not own a car, nor does she do grocery shopping every day. You know what's the answer? You had it right - “we should have walkable cities and more public transport”.
i'll wait for the confirmed results.
nonono, if all the lowly peasants get a comfortable wage, how would execs be able to afford their second summer homes? Won't someone think of them?
