mfs doing stuff like this really need to stop living in america bruh π
these tracks are in helsinki, and these are finnish trams, i think skoda may be exporting them to germany, and i don't know what you guys do with them there, but these are pretty comfortable personally (even comparing to SBB trains, which travel so smoothly that it makes me dizzy, bc there's very little sensory points of reference)
you're most likely having a poor experience bc the tram tracks have fallen into disrepair, bc even comparatively old trams (from the 1970s and the like) can be pretty comfortable on proper tracks (take budapest, their fleet consist largely of older models, but due to good track maintenance and relative straightness of tracks themselves, it's a pretty good experience)
not sure why you're extrapolating your particular experience onto something so vast and vague as "public transport systems outside of china and singapore", not to mention that a decent amount of comfort is a baseline that good systems of public transport operate off of, with accessibility, frequency and location being more important factors
idk maybe it's just frivolous thinking, but imo since social media is corrupted by corporate profiteering brought about by venture capitalists, a social media platform that can be scaled and run very cheaply and in a decentralised fashion (think JUST text posts, all media has to be somehow hosted externally) could genuinely succeed, and be BOTH a mainstream place, while also being friendly to its users, and creating a friendly and cozy environment π€·ββοΈ
i'm not sure where you grew up and live, but as someone who grew up in a very large city (10m+), i can tell you that children aren't stupid, if they grow up in an environment in which they're given an appropriate amount of responsibility in the face of danger, while also explained the possibilities of danger and how to avoid it, they grow up to be pretty responsible, and certainly wouldn't be endangered (or really bothered in any way) by something as trivial as grassy tram tracks
thereβs been like 3 deaths total from tram collisions in the last 200 years π
no, but sometimes you'll go to all kinds of far away and hard-to-access destinations to get a particular tattoo π€·ββοΈ
this is the real answer hehe
ethnic genocide to help reduce climate change is quite different from not having children, because the latter entails literally no suffering, in fact, any notion of suffering of an unexisting human is meaningless and void
a good analogy would be choosing to abort children with genetic defects, because they will suffer their entire lives and/or possibly need things that would then be unavailable to already existing humans like donors' organs, medical help etc, which isn't considered eugenics
also, eco fascism, compared to not having a child in a developed country, is completely impractical (i feel pretty cruel saying this, but i need to somehow stood down to their level to argue against it from a practical point of view), because people in developing and poorer countries typically have the least environmental impact...
the childfree and vegan movement need to tread carefully to not fall into eco-fascism or eugenics, in the sense that people should not be physically prevented from having children and we shouldn't kill non-vegans, but they should at the same time be aware of what having a child means for you, for them, animals and the earth
more non-vegan people definitely brings more animal suffering, not sure what to add here
this sucks, best of luck to them
i wonder how this will affect ovh's reputation and as a result potentially change the distribution of hosting loads among existing hosts π€
