I unironically think that The Witcher 2 is the best game in the trilogy for this exact reason.

Everywhere did until the early to mid 20th century. Exclusionary zoning was invented to keep the poor’s in their place.

Ingredients listed separately from directions, so when I read “Add the tomatoes and stir” I have to leave my place in the directions to find out how much tomatoes.

You’re supposed to prepare your ingredients before you start cooking. Its called mise en place. There might not be be enough time to go dice 2 tomatoes before the pot starts to burn. But if you already have them in a bowl ready to go, you can just add them when the recipe says. This also helps with your next point about doing things simultaneously.

Like most things in life, a little bit of prep and planning beforehand can make a big difference.

Why is this lazy dog always in my god damn way?

The ‘X’ at the end of \LaTeX is actually a uppercase chi, so it pronounced with a ‘k’ sound.

Don’t have to worry about OEMs shipping insecure code and never patching it when I can write my own insecure code and never patch it.

I cant really get a job because i cant drive and there are no buses

Very acute

if you “own” a piece of land in the middle of the planned rail route, the Government will just kick you out.

That’s how the interstate system and urban highways were built. But people being displaced were mostly black and/or poor and/or immigrants, so it wasn’t seen as a bad thing at the time.

The first public electric tramway used for permanent service was the Gross-Lichterfelde tramway in Lichterfelde near Berlin in Germany, which opened in 1881.

So if your city shut down its streetcars in 1951, like mine did, then what you said is true. If you city had streetcars in 1953 or beyond, its not. Not to be too pedantic about it.

My point is that is less than 1 human lifespan. There are people that rode the streetcars in my city when they were kids that still live here. Its not ancient history, its living memory.

Oil companies literally killed electric trolleys wayyyyyyyyyyyy back in the day.

In most cities, this happens around the 1950s. So not that long ago, if you think about it.

Amtrak: “At least we’re not VIA Rail.”

What is the price to use Facebook?

a surface-level “win” that doesn’t actually cost Canada anything.

Except for billions of dollars of tax revenue.

NDP was suppose to be the in-between of Liberal and Conservative

What? How is the centre left party supposed to be in between the centre right party and the right wing party?

@grok is this true?

I don’t think the blame lies solely with corporations when it comes to urban planning issues. Corporations will act in the way that they think is most profitable. Always. That’s a know quantity.

The reason that so many places ended up looking like this is failures of the political systems that allow, or even encourage this type of development. Express you displeasure to your elected officials at all levels. That is the best way to get changes made, not just complaining about corporations on the internet.

Good thing children only exist during business hours.

Don’t forget that phones don’t have bezels anymore. A phone from a couple years ago with a 5.something inch screen and half an inch of bezel on either side is the same size as a 6.something today.

There are no medieval equivalents to YouTube channels, since YouTube wasn’t invented for at least a decade after the medieval period.
