I wish some bugs would go extinct, bed bugs, mosquitos, ticks, maybe yellow jackets. Seems like those populations are strong than ever.

I feel like at this point, many of those are basically English words now. Like Déjà vu.

Chicago?

Straight cycling routes with gentle curves and low grades and few intersections are great, what are you talking about? So much better than bike paths crammed next to a road or river with random twists and turns to get around car infrastructure, or worse, winding and convoluted neighborhood routes with lots of stop signs that make it take forever to get anywhere. If a trail goes from nowhere to nowhere, it would probably not have gotten frequent rail service anyway and is still useful to some people as a bike path.

I suppose it helps I’m on a fast ebike though and want to make my 11 mile commute in a reasonable amount of time.

I feel like many people oppose rails to trails because then there’s much less of a chance it will become rails again, so you have to let go of the hope of any sort of trains coming back. Though becoming a trail is certainly a lot better than the track land being split up and sold off to developers, since then there’s no chance.

50 dollars and 0 cents isn’t a lot

It wasn’t common knowledge back then

I don’t like my roommates enough to even hang out let alone cuddle, but in August that will change and I’ll have roommates I do want to cuddle with.

I have a TV in my bedroom set up specifically for in case I have a friend over and we want to cuddle on the bed and watch stuff. It’s hooked up to my computer for ad-free YouTube but is separate from my regular computer monitor.

My roommates do have a living room TV but I feel weird about cuddling in front of them.

I don’t think people choose has over electric because of a dumb lust for power, I think it’s because many people can’t charge at home (especially with rents going up and cheap landlords unwilling to install chargers), there are more 15+ year old used gas cars, and outdated worries about range (fast charging has gotten better).

Like electric bicycles with controllers that can be easily swapped, programmed, and tinkered with?

I don’t wear one, it’s nice to see people’s faces. And sure it still exists, but we’re past the point of it being a big scary virus anymore, I don’t want to act like it’s 2020 and stunt my social growth.

I’m surprised how many people say they still wear masks, I feel like it’s 1 in 50 people at most, but these comments make me think it’s 1 in 2 people.

To be fair, two for one McDoubles seems like a pretty good deal. Why should I care about my data, they’re just using it for advertising/analytics, it’s not like they’re blackmailing me or stealing my identity or robbing me of something I could sell on my own. Seems like a pretty clear win-win: I get reasonably-priced meals and they get data that I wouldn’t be using anyway.

Now the constant notifications and hassle of downloading the app in the first place to get reasonable prices are a different story.

Or more likely Linux will go back to being irrelevant and Windows will continue to reign supreme.

Screens degrade? I’ve been using the same one for 10+ years and I bought it used for $20.

Isn’t that what Nebula/CuriosityStream is? All my favorite YouTubers promote it, though the caveat is you have to pay but I think the money actually goes to the creators (and they put bonus content on it like a patreon).

Personally I’d go with an electric bike since it needs significantly less time to charge given the same number of solar cells.

People abroad trusting America perhaps? America seems like it’s really destroyed its reputation lately. Or could be referring to the decay of rule of law with ICE and the like, will the public ever trust the government again?

But even if it’s small, isn’t it an accurate representation of what people as a whole are talking about?

Besides, I know my friends in real life and they won’t shut up about it so it’s not just confined to Lemmy.
