Why should that urge be masculine tho? I’d rather think it’s a general sentiment.

Sorry you live in an undeveloped country.

I feel like I’m repeating myself

Developed countries have robust and reliable energy grids while undeveloped countries do not. That’s real life.

Where are bikes in that analogy? Because they’d work amazingly in rural areas were it not for cars

While this captures some important similarities between the two, I think you missed the most important that makes OP’s thought valid.

Both are individualistic approaches, unlike centralized energy generation or public transit, which are collectivist approaches. While the former grants greater independence to wealthy enough individuals, the latter is much more efficient and grants liberty regardless of personal wealth. For the individual in a fragmented and individualistic society, the former makes a lot more sense (especially since they cannot build a big energy plant or rail line). As a society, it’s several orders of magnitude more meaningful to push for the latter.

Sorry you live in an undeveloped country.

OP is kinda advocating for a sensible public transport where schedules don’t matter due to frequent intervals and with a dense network of stops that are walkable. Possibly supplemented by car sharing or cargo bike sharing for the rare occasions someone has to transport something bigger than a week’s groceries.

The car is a crutch we need while society and politics fail to achieve okay public transit.

Youtube has that feature no? I always look for playlists that contain videos by users I found to be reliable.

wtf got a source on that? Sounds quite scary tbh

whatever you say shit for brains

In the current internet it’s sadly necessary to enforce very strict rules to keep the space civil. The vast majority of active users are trolls (just look at the success of Toilet Paper’s Kirk’s campaigns against intellectuals). Keeping bro-culture out is not a bad idea since it’s a quite toxic culture often hostile towards women and queer persons.

If you’re looking for bro spaces, go somewhere (or create a comm) that’s accepting of it. If you like the space, simply follow the rules.

To experience a surveillance state with severe human rights abuses

executions are carried out by firing squads in public to instill fear in people

Charlie Kirk would have approved (CW: reddit)

It’s the BBC. 'm assuming they’re talking out their ass.

The report, which is based on more than 300 interviews with people who escaped from North Korea in the past 10 years,

Refugees from DPRK have been found exaggerating negatives to garner more sympathy/support

There is no difference between patriotism and nationalism. Both instill pride in non-achievements (like being born in the right place) while degrading others for the offense of being born somewhere else.

Thank you!

must be nice

Maybe try touching a little grass too

AFAIK they don’t. Hedgehogs are crepuscular and nocturnal and are therefore particularly at risk as they are not flight animals. Instead, they curl up and rely on the protection of their spines. This often results in serious cuts or severed limbs, which often lead to death. Another problem is that many robotic mower models do not recognise small animals without touching them first. Contrary to the claims of many manufacturers, scientific studies by the Leibnitz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research show that the robotic lawnmowers only stopped and turned off after coming into direct contact with the hedgehogs.

Oh no my lifestyle gets in the way of my ecologically disastrous hobby so I made the hobby even worse by automating it.
