Well yeah of course, and meanwhile keep building out alternatives and walkable neighborhoods. See how far we can go.

What is it we imagine “banning cars” actually means?

I’m not disagreeing, but I’m curious. Does anyone think there’s a serious policy proposal to just…ban cars. Like, “starting May 1st, there will be no cars. Authorities will be collecting your car, and it will be crushed and melted down to make bikes. If you live in the middle of nowhere…well I guess you’ll have to eat pinecones or something.”

Obviously, that’s silly to even consider, but I am absolutely in favor of banning cars on at least a couple of specific streets in my city. We could do it today, and no one would be more than mildly inconvenienced, and the new car-free spaces would be thoroughly enjoyed.

There’s a box on the home page for the giveaway, but when I clicked it I got “something went wrong”, but as Shimon pointed out, it’s free on Steam too, so I nabbed it there.

Also you can use adguard DNS on your phone to block many in-app ads.

It looks like it’s relative to the 2004-2013 average, actually. Note the years listed at the bottom.

If voting could dethrone the wealthy, they wouldn’t let us do it.

You’re so much more aware of your surroundings when walking or biking.

Greenland, even though Denmark is blue.

This looks like something you’d find in BioShock, or The Outer Worlds maybe.

And they’re guaranteeing this super affordable public housing all while under a comprehensive trade embargo for 60+ years imposed by the most powerful nation there is, who also happens to be their neighbor.

Never believe that housing “needs” to be expensive, it’s 100% a decision made by people who profit from it.

especially the “investors”

There was this study where they asked a theater full of women to rate the attractiveness of men, based on a photo and a profession. Then they changed all the professions (but kept the same photos) and did it again.

The same picture with a higher-paying job was rated significantly higher.

I can’t trust a car no matter how Japanese it is, but… I watched a lil docuseries on dangerous roads, and it seemed like at least 80% of the vehicles (outside of heavy trucks) were Toyota. I dunno if it’s because they’re the most reliable, or because Toyota just has the market in many of these developing countries, but it was interesting.

Obligatory downvote but I enjoyed the first Shapez and this one looks way cooler, I’m excited to get into it.

Copilot seemed to be a bit better tuned, but I’ve now confused it by misspelling strawberry. Such fun.

For the good of everyone, except the ones who are dead. 🤪

Yes good point… naturally “guzzling resources at planet eating rates” is quite expensive.

I’m so not sold on this AI stuff. It just seems like a fancy new way to create problems.

Anyone who works nights, or an evening job that runs late like a bar or something, is currently used to having the date change in the middle of their “day”. I don’t think it’s really that big of a deal. It would be super weird at first, but kids who grew up with it would find our current system just as bananas as we would find this.
