I’d like to share a revelation that I’ve had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species. I realized that you’re not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area, and you multiply, and multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet, you are a plague, and we are the cure.

Fuck man. Now I need to rewatch The Matrix

Better prep the patient for surgery

fucking finally. Pike Market has always been too crowded for cars anyway

As someone who’s taken the train there a couple times I’d say the core downtown area is pretty walkable, but everywhere else def needs a bike or bus setup

I totally agree but even the better part of the states aren’t 100% car free. Which unfortunately puts us in this akward transition period where both parking and public transit kinda suck. That in turn does make it hard to win people over

That said my partner and I were able to sell my car and rely solely on her’s after moving to the city. I basically never have to drive anymore. So it’s definitely making an impact

Sauce?

I abuse the eye contact thing all the time. If I’m crossing the street and someone is coming in too fast I just stare at them deadass the whole time. Always gets them to slow down

Growing up my sisters’ room was so messy you couldn’t see the floor. My(amab) room however was rather spartan

It actually drives me crazy when people don’t keep their living space clean. It’s way easier to maintain as you go than do those crazy cleanups once every blue moon

I use to feel that way before I moved to the city. Now it’s just part of the ambiance

someone doesn’t appreciate comfort

I would recommend taking a chill pill mate

Yikes, that sounds awful. I will say tho if driving is the easier option then your city still isn’t setup for proper transit (which sadly makes sense if you live in north America)

I live in the city. I don’t have this weakness you speak of

The real answer is that no one knows. There’s probably no single answer for something so complex and so intricately related to us as a species. It probably has multiple factors ranging from increased survival to just pure curiosity. It’s personal, cultural, and yet still somehow universal. It’s like any other form of artistic communication. We just do it bc we do

I believe the word we’re looking for is scalper

Easy! The only I use. The rest are too bloated and/or have too little built in and are too easy/hard. Real Linux wizards agree

Someone get OP to the burn ward STAT

General principals are great until you take them to an extreme. There’s always cases where you need to do something a bit different

Unfortunately the game is specifically designed to waste your time if you want to see everything it has to offer. So it’s not really the communities fault for pushing to maximize that time spent. Just a consequence of a deliberately slowed down system

Eat just to shit. Shit just to eat. What is this life
