Yup. I'm Bo7a.

  • We actually did live in switzerland back in 2020 (I know, schengen is not EU) and were about to lease a home in France, but someone in my family fell ill and I had to come back to Canada.

    The transit, grocery , pharmacy, and cultural access was amazing to us, even in times when locals were complaining of severely limited services.

  • Also Canada where the majority of my experience comes from. If I could see some my taxes going towards a Euro-style infra for moving people and things I would be a much happier person overall.

  • Ditto. But the rest of the travel we do need to do to interact with people, amenities, and services, is still worse than it should be due to poor inter-city and city-rural transit. At least here in Canada. My time in Europe showed me how bad we really have it. Even with the unavoidable foibles that happen in the best of cases/countries.

  • I was referring to the city planners as @EtherWhack@lemmy.world correctly surmised.

    I also have worked from home* for almost two decades. But the non-work travel is still stained by the horrible planning in most urban sprawls.

    * For various strange definitions of "home". From a campground to an RV on a lake, and apartments in Switzerland to rotting farms in Alberta.

  • As with almost everything. Cheap is subjective. And not even just as in "I have more money so everything is cheaper for me" but also like "The value I derive from this thing for my specific use-case makes the cost feel cheap. To me."

  • And since then - We have found ways to make all travel worse for comfort, more expensive, and more necessary.

  • This is what EVERYONE needs to be calling it.

  • Not that I believe this is real in any way. But there are ten chairs at that table. His interview could be like those predatory knife MLMs where they pack the room full of idiots to find the one apex idiot.

    Schedule:

    Ten at a time. Ten minutes each.

    Even if you space them out to the top of the hour you have time for a long lunch where you can commend yourself about being a drain on your species while staring at yourself in the bathroom mirror of a cracker barrel where you are scoping out some poor underage girl to molest verbally.

    Wait... What were we talking about?

  • Very interesting insights. Thank you for sharing!

  • The Inquiry:

    *Opens a 7th grade social studies class textbook.

  • Did I use an ableist slur? I don't think I did. And I don't believe in any gods.

    I'm saying that if the takeaway from the other user's comment was the word choice rather than the message - this signifies another win for the systems that seek to keep even the tiniest resistance splintered and ineffectual.

  • Attacking the use of an impolite word towards a literal fascist takeover is a distraction tactic that you have fallen for and now use against those who rightfully should be on the same side.

  • Regarding your jib. I like the cut.

  • "They go low, We go high" is a fucking stupid appeasement strategy that has just allowed the fascist to take more and more control since Reagan and Nixon. Cut it out with this bullshit.

  • Our snake Ruby (12 foot, 80lbs, red-tail boa) has been to kindergartens, old folks homes, random family reunions, and about 100 pet stores. She has never wrapped herself around anyone, hissed, or done anything aggressive. It sounds like your friends with snakes don't take very good care of them. Or they got troubled animals.

  • Overall, I completely agree with this comment. But I live in the middle of the forest, completely surrounded by trees and when it hits 35c that air conditioning is very needed. Trees are nice but an air conditioner they are not.

  • Meaningful to whom?

    I've gotten at least 50% off compared to the day I wishlist something on every game that I've waited on a sale for. I know this because I only buy wishlist stuff when it is at least 50% off

    I can sit on ice cream and tell you the flavour.

    Sincerely though - I was just being an ass. I didn't intend any actual offense. I Apologize. And I am not one of those downvotes.
