:(

I swear just last year I was hearing about how Europeans didn't like ebikes, glad to hear I was wrong.

The convenience of an ebike is honestly unbelievable. Steep hills become minor inconveniences and longer trips lose their sting. I live in a fairly bikable city and I really hope ebikes have some sort of explosion in the next few years. They are already pretty common but I think a lot of people would ditch public transportation/driving if they realized how convenient and fun ebikes are, especially in the summer months.

Bruh, you aint helping.

Wow, sounds like you've given up a lot of freedoms. Damn 15min cities!

Fuck cars

By stranded do you mean, you have to walk home?

This is not what they are saying in the slightest.

Ketchup is pretty meh to me and my opinion is that, for the most part, anything you put ketchup on is just going to taste like ketchup. So my rule of thumb is that if its dry as fuck or tastes worse that ketchup, add ketchup. Otherwise don't cause it's just going to make it taste worse.

Gatekeeping is dumb though, but I appreciate your desire for a pointless argument.

hehe, suburbs.

You don't have to move to Europe to live a 5 min walk from basically any store you would want to visit on a daily basis. But you probably do have to spend more than you can afford or move to a different town. North american cities are terribly designed and walkable neighbourhoods are sparse and in high demand.

This is the most tech bro thing ever.

"Lets innovate ourselves out of a problem that innovation created"

Imagine trying to invent a new class tech instead of just putting your phone down.

We're on the path to electing a pro-rich, anti-trans, anti-carbon tax conservative :/

Watch Dan Olsen's video on flat earthers. I'm having a hard time remembering details but the conspiracy theories are more of a symptom than anything. These people are looking for a community as well as an explanation for why the world is so fucked up, and why they are miserable. Anti-semitism and conspiracy theories are more satisfying than anything the left can provide.

Anyone want to ELI5? Whats to stop trump adding 4 more of his own?

They acknowledge the futility of the exercise and basically say they're doing it for fun and clicks.

yes

Simon Vance is my personal favourite narrator. The Dune audiobooks have a cast of narrators/actors but I wish Simon voiced the whole books, he's amazing. The way he intonates adds so much to the text, but doesn't ever get annoying. His acting for the characters is great too.

He also narrated Scaramouche and I genuinely can't tell if I liked the book or his narration of the book.

My family of 5 owns 4 cars (I've moved out and ride a bike). I'm so sorry families like mine exist lol. They know my feelings on cars and even agree with a lot of what I say because it's pretty incontrovertible. But in the end they don't really care. They metaphorically pat me on the back for riding my bike and continue to live their privileged life style that makes life worse for the rest of us.

Rich people literally don't give a fuck about anyone else. They donate to charity and feel genuinely sad for unprivileged people but will fight tooth and nail against anything that remotely threatens their way of life.

Paused LNG approvals too.

VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE

Municipal, provincial, federal. I don't fucking know how your country works just fucking vote. Pretty pleaaaaaase.

Ok, so now what? You're going to shit on people for being depressed about the state of the world and feeling powerless because of how powerless they are?

If you want people to engage in solutions I'd recommend not belittling them for succumbing to apathy in the face of overwhelming opposition.
