One deluxe seafood curry with hot tea, please.

Infrastructure is, and should be, government run so that wouldn't work with the model I'm proposing.

[-] Peddlephile@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

But the idea is that everyone can open their own and run it by the rules they want. If you or a group don't like how one thing is run, there is freedom to open up the same thing but make it open for all. This museum is a private one, rather than run by the government, and therefore they can do what they like. The government ones should be open to all because they are elected by the public.

I'm not at all in favour of forcing everyone to comply to uniformity for the sake of inclusivity but I'm all for ensuring that there are spaces available that are inclusive and that there's freedom to operate how you like, provided that it doesn't hurt anyone.

Replace all roads with free mass transit. That should work.

Not a good idea to put all your eggs into one basket when running a business, mate. You always run multiple projects, and it doesn't have to be games, to continue the cashflow.

Very interesting. What browser are you using?

So... Critical thinking and logic shouldn't apply to the lay person then? The government in the UK reflects on our actions here?

But we're splitting hairs here. The point of disruption is to stir up conversation and keep the issue front and centre. We're in the middle of a climate crisis. Our quality of life is trending downwards. Interrupting the public comes after scientists giving hard facts to the world that have been largely ignored for decades.

And here, everyone, is exhibit A as to why critical thinking is going down the drain globally.

I kind of want to go to the dog park and hang out with other people's dogs today. Not sure if that's socially acceptable.

Can you get semi autos in Canada and the UK easily? Definitely can't in Australia. The most you're allowed is a rifle and only if you're a farmer.

In a single lifetime, we have moved into severe car dependency. Our cities are purposefully built so that only cars can be used. Don't you see? This is a problem that we've created completely by ourselves. If we keep heading in that direction because it's cheaper and easier, i.e. leaving the band-aid on, major investment into public transit simply will not happen because it's 'too expensive and too hard'.

I never said not do both, but I'm seeing time and time again that new roads are being invested rather than investment into other options. What usually happens in reality is one or the other. Look at Egypt, look at the US, look at Australia. Then look at places like the Netherlands.

Netherlands still have roads but in Metropolitan areas, there are a huge number of alternatives.

By the way, when you say you don't have other means of transport, what locations are you referring to? What I was referring to was Metropolitan areas. Regional areas, where there is a lower density, should still be provided with roads as a means of travel. It's ridiculous to think that Metropolitan cities don't have pubic transit infrastructure in first world cities.

EVs are the biggest load of green wash ever and on par with 'clean coal'. They still use roads and carparks which are environmental waste lands, they also need power to run and their manufacturing and distribution process is definitely not environmentally friendly.

Not to mention that their CEO actively campaigned against public transport in a bid to sell more cars...
