What a lovely name for a lovely cat 🥰

in my experience,

yeah, that’s the issue. anecdotal evidence.

Also science is full of arrogant people, both males and females.

Not really.

You could have walked away and not replied to me, shut off your phone or computer and spent your time with more productive or enjoyable activities than arguing with strangers on the internet. You’re not 5 years old, it doesn’t matter who “started it” (I don’t care), you’ve come into this comment section and posted an unpopular opinion and let yourself be consumed by anger.

I feel obliged to point out (for the people that might be quietly reading this, you can ignore this) that living in a dense neighborhood and being forced to interact with real human beings on a regular basis is good for my mental health. Reminds me that most people are actually okay and not like “keyboard warriors” on the internet.

are you realising how petty and mean you’ve become in this comment section? is this the person you want to be? is this the person your daughter would be proud of calling her parent? exercise is proven to be good for mental health, maybe you should take a trip to that park you’ve mentioned and leave the internet be for the day.

What is important to you may not be to others.

Honestly, genuinely, being able to get fresh produce daily and good bread - gluten free or not (there’s gluten free bread???) - and being able to be spontaneous and take a quick 5 minute walk to the store because I’ve unexpectedly run out of eggs in the middle of baking or whatever aren’t things that are at all important to me, they are just facts of life. What’s important to me is not being inconvenienced by people who think it’s their god-given right to own a car and make it everyone’s problem.

My issue here is that you’re saying

I get to go shopping once every two weeks instead of smaller trips every day

like everyone should obviously agree that only going once every two weeks is the better experience and just stopping by on the way to or from work or in your lunch break is somehow an inferior experience.

You are sitting here trying to prove my preference is wrong.

I don’t care about you, I care about other people possibly reading this and want to make sure - since they’re interested in the conversation already - why we think living car-free is better. The top level comment on this chain is you stating your opinion that cars are better, with no explanation at all as to why. I know that people like you are a lost cause.

Privacy… in a car… in 2024…

I was going to only comment that but seriously,

shopping once every two weeks instead of smaller trips every day

that just means you’ll only have fresh produce for a week at most, any bread you buy will be unusable after 4 days and if something you need is not in stock you have to wait another two weeks.

Your comment says “Microsoft Studio Code” and “MS Code”, neither of which is a thing (as I tried to point out). The actual software you’re talking about is “(MS) Visual Studio” and “(MS) Visual Studio Code”, and that naming convention is pretty common for products (and other things) that are different but similar (think Photoshop and Photoshop Express, PSX and PS2, C and C++ etc.).

Are you talking about Visual Studio Community/Professional/Enterprise and Visual Studio Code? Because if so, I don’t really agree. Visual Studio is an IDE (VS Community is the free tier) whereas VS Code is a code editor (as the name implies).

Something that has happened to me is that I had set the network interface in qBit but the the interface that my VPN used had changed (disabled and enabled) and the interface in qBit didn’t actually exist anymore. Kind of a niche issue, but yeah.

This is ridiculous, but at least Barbie is getting a physical release. I’m actually very willing to pay for media… if I can access it offline and am not dependent on the good will of some large corporation.
