Why is this world and timeline so hell bent on recreating dystopian sci fi novels from the 80s?
Well, yea, though that would suggest a very limited bandwidth
No, nonono. There is a difference between upstream and downstream. The upload would not make general use noticeably slower.
Too many influential and very rich on there most likely. Among all the Republicans probably also a few democrats because we know there are quite a few assholes among those too.
All this tells me is that he is rich enough to not care about a job and just take a sabbatical until the commotion has died down.
Its all just not wanting to deal with other humans.
Or even better, lets change society and work to something that just fits well together and where work is not slavery with extra steps.
That I can easily agree on.
Though the reality is that the the e-scooter usage has not led to significantly less cars on the road. Instead they mostly replaced bikes, public transport and walking. Numbers vary from country to country and city to city of course so this is a generalized average.
This means though that they are not making anything better but instead making it all worse because I do not recall ever having had this much trouble with badly parked bikes in the past, even in a big and bike heavy city like mine.
So while the concept is great it fails because they don’t replace cars but instead just add another way of ruining public spaces ON TOP OF the fucking cars.
I regard it as a question of scale.
Cars are problematic due to how people use them. That they are used senselessly, agressively, carelessly.
Thats why there are so many rules and fines around cars. Fines that are nowhere near as strong as they should be.
And those same attitude people driving cars in bad ways also ride scooters.
I had a scooter with two on it plow through a tiny gap of elderly people at high speed just a few days ago.
I had a easily 8 meter wide pedestrian crossing in front of my office vlocked in a full line of e-scooters dumped there as parking space blocking it just as thoroughly as if two cars had parked there.
Now if I were to scale up the ratio of people using scooters to the same as cars then it would get very bad because they seem to think of e-scooters as being more free of rules.
Sure, a good solution would be to replace cars fully and use roads for bikes and scooters. Best possibility.
Sadly that’s not a thing and until then the people using scooters just as badly as car drivers are out there ruining that for everyone.
Uhm, are you one of those who park their e scooter wherever they want and are trying to deflect, or why are you so over the top triggered?
You think that’s a good and fruitful way to talk? Aha
As we all have shared ancestors this would be higly different depending on how far back you go in time.
Heck, if I go back far enough we all need to eat seafood
Unless Trump starts ww3 we will have a few more painful years of transition and then the new normal will be normal and the better deals will win, which won’t be with America.
Though that’s only true for the first few years. Once alternatives are established and trade with America is reduced it will be less and less until America will be not interesting anymore
I just want everyone to shut up in every way about their fantasy story of choice they want to treat as if real.
To me people who talk about their religion as if it were a real thing are the same as people with mental issues who have imaginary friends up until high age or who cannot tell reality from fantasy.
I don’t bring this view up by myself but absolutely drive it at max speed if some idiots on the road ask me “may I talk with you about how god can save you?”
I hate cars and I equally hate escooter turds who carelessly leave the damn thing wherever they hopped off. Middle of pavement, right in the dead center of a bus stop where they clearly jumped from scooter into the bus door.
No, the little bit of space left getting fucked up by careless rental users is very close as bad as cars.
What a moron.
If people could predict the future stock market speculation and all that wouldn’t exist.
Knowing which company will take off is impossible and just guesstigambling.
They also had more than enough work in that “free time”… Oh wait. So do we. Taking care of kids, household chores, commuting, etc.
Well at least we live much longer than medieval peasants and can enjoy the cruel wheel of money grinding longer.
Could the housing market crash independently? Or would it be always with the other markets?
The point is that you have pedophile narcissist elitist racists running your country.
And from what I see the democrats might be also capitalism junkies, but at least they seem more human and caring when compared to the bullshit Americans voted in.
Of course it is odd that those files were never released. Most likely reason: too many very rich and powerful are on it. Perhaps even from other countries which would likely open a huge diplomatic shitshow.
Though with Trump fucking up the US and the world with his racist and sociopathicly drenched dementia I say fuck the consequences if it means that dude gets what he deserves: the rest of his wrinkly life in prison.
