Have you seen what the French do when politicians suggest something they dont like?

i love this so much

you could force everyone to drive. itd be terrible, but that hasnt stopped cities like LA (a more population dense city) from doing what theyre doing.

when you have 1.5 billion people vs 330 million you’re bound to have some cars. better to look at cars per capita to get an idea of how many people are actually driving

wild to me how businesses will piss their pants about losing street parking that so few cars can even fit on when it means dozens more can now come by bike. cars can always park in the back/in the garage, way more people are able to come if there’s vehicle-free ways to do so

mannn it is 8 in the morning :'(

nope he’s dark as the night with yellow eyes

partner just recently got back from Ireland. car culture definitely exists but mostly because it is a very farm-heavy rural country outside of a few cities. other than shitty weather though the streets in Dublin seem more tame than most in American cities. The zoning laws seem less insane as there are businesses closer to housing, likely making walking/biking more feasible even though a lot of the space can be a bit suburban. Definitely not Amsterdam or Paris. Or super affordable atm, but it is an English speaking option if thats important to you.

i dont even know why soft drinks are so wide spread. theyre unflavorful and not even that cheap anymore

There is nowhere for hours around where my partner goes to school that is even remotely walkable in a livable sense. I couldve chosen to live “downtown” but its a downtown meant to enternain the burbies, i would still have to drive to the grocery store, etc. i cannot just move until he graduates.

ill just pick up a damn book im not that desperate to watch shitty content on a screen. or this is just another reason for piracy

so how the hell am i supposed to get anywhere in this suburban hell hole im stuck in then? the government itself created this damn infrastructure and now we’re all just stuck here.

i saw a video where a lady rolled up cat treats in a towel. she said it kept her cats occupied for hours, i thought she was exaggerating with it being an easy puzzle so i tried it with my cat. he is very stupid. after he gave up i tried again folding the towel. he watched while i did it. tried for 30s before screaming and begging me to just give him treats. figured if i left it overnight hed get it eventually. he is overweight and is on a diet, so he is extremely food desparate. wake up 8 hours later and the towel had moved/been played with but not unfolded.

tldr; my cat is far too stupid to solve basic puzzles

theres a whole channel

extramarital affairs as in not married… i dont commonly see shame cast upon those who have had sex outside of marriage but it pops up in crazy ways from time to time. guess his wording just confused me. unmarried individuals doing whatever they want is way different than a whole ass affair.

is he saying he’s calling out cheaters or people minding their own business outside of marriage? insane behavior either way esp to post out loud ab even if fake but ones a lot more justified than the other.

$350? 😭 ive never had an electric bill above $150

on top of the advice others have given, i rly like their suggestions, sounds like you’ll have a gap to fill socially. i also struggled w friendships in public school and honestly if i could tell my past self something it would be that theres always a chance to change. i locked my self image in as the person who just struggled to make friends, and that somehow stopped me trying before i even started. it wasnt until later in senior year i relaxed and started to talk to people but by then it was nearly over lol. keep an eye out for clubs or sports that pique ur interest even if you dont think you’ll be any good. you have time to get good and its the easiest way to make friends. also dont be scared to talk to people in class even if its just about the assignment or something mundane. studies show the fastest way to friendship is proximity. its something i miss now that im an adult working from home :/ social situations are inherently awkward but u will grow from trying. social skills are a skill that can be developed. while your sister is busy exploring a new world of hers, you can make a new world of your own and tell her all about it when she comes back over the holiday :)

here and there are fine, I think sometimes they have their place but I’m really not a fan. the noise bothers me and I hate that people shoot them off to celebrate the same veterans that suffer ptsd during firework shows. I hope some communities start to move to drone shows in the future. https://youtu.be/pZ-zJ0Vq0FU Much quieter and leaves way more room to switch it up year to year.

most sandwich bread in the us is processed garbage. if you had homemade or another high quality bread then itd be different. i tried daves killer for awhile and even gave that up because it still tastes so sweet.
