    This is me yesterday… And other days… And then I can’t fall asleep because I am too worried that I should be asleep already and that I have to wake up early. This causes my absolute favourite feedback loop.

    Sometimes I just love being a human being :')




  • I’m from the EU and sadly this has become more and more the norm here. I remember a time when we had very little SUVs here but now they seem to be everywhere. And it’s a really busy capital city, so the streets are narrow. I can’t understand why people would buy big cars here…

    True that’s why I don’t have any “traditional” social media, except for YouTube I guess?

    I mostly use lemmy/YouTube and from time to time I really can only find some niche community on reddit so I have to give in.

    But no political content whatsoever, that’s why lemmy shocked me a bit.

    Yeah, I’m kinda mad at all the Spez/3rd party app stuff, but the constant hate has got me thinking about leaving lemmy. It’s sad because I like the idea behind lemmy but people have no respect.

    I like hearing different sides of things but absolutely everything is political here and it’s either black or white. Ffs

    I see some Linux but I’m subscribed to a lot of techy communities. Self host, programming etc. So it’s kinda normal.

    Could be the default view on each instance… On my first account I subbed to a lot of different communities on different instances so I saw all the crap. Eventually due to all the politics bullshit I just migrated to my current instance which has hexbear and lemmygrad blocked so it’s been a lot better.

    But even so, I always see a bunch of politics crap on the memes community.



  • Yeah I see what you mean. I had to go on street view to get it. I hadn’t even realised that it was an overpass lol. Thought it was just a road but even so, it would be a boring walk.

    With the old layout you’d have a more pleasant one through the neighbourhood and such.

    Also about my initial comment, even though the parks looked claustrophobic to me, I said it was likely the black and white colors messing it up for me, and yeah we’re zoomed out a lot. Also, parks are almost never claustrophobic anyways, I just meant how it looked from above I guess.


  • ? I hadn’t even read your comment until now.

    I don’t mind your guy’s opinion at all, that was what I wanted to know when I left a comment. I even started by saying that I’m not even a local precisely because I wanted the locals opinions.

    You all went out of your way to downvote me though, I’m not even quite sure why.

    Also yeah, those underpasses look nasty af.




  • I haven’t checked the video yet (but I 100% will) but that’s absolutely how I feel too. I’m from Europe and the big cities are usually easily navigated without a car. Smaller cities maybe not so much BUT, you can still kindof easily walk to ride a bike somewhere.

    I’m always surprised when watching American movies that there’s not sidewalk if you leave the city centers. That’s is absolutely incomprehensible to me lol I can walk from my city to the next 3 or 4 neighboring cities all by walking and using the sidewalk.

    I’m not American so I might not fully understand the repercussions of this. (houses being demolished and stuff)

    But I honestly prefer the current version. It seems to have more green spaces. The highways could be shit, but if it meant better public transportation them I’m all for it (buses for instance). Maybe kill a few lanes and get a train going there or something…

    I don’t know, the old layout seems very claustrophobic to me. The newer one seems to have more potential.

    Edit: Upon reviewing the picture again, I think the previous version had a lot of parks that seemed “claustrophobic” but it’s just because it’s a B&W picture… So maybe I’d change my mind and go with the older one.
