Driving in London and Paris is such a pain in the arse I would never buy one of I had to live there. If I needed a car for a weekend trip I'd just rent one.

Every country subsidizes their own auto industry. Every single one of them.

Living in apartments.

In a lot of cities and towns living in apartments is seen as something that young adults who are renting short term do, and definitely not families or older couples.

Living in an apartment is considerably cheaper for my situation. I drive so much less, I pay for less power, and I have all this parkland around me.

I'm a car guy and I don't have a garage, that's annoying, but I commute by escooter now and drive on the weekends. It's much better.

I hope the police and everyone who ignored her pleas are reminded of her death everyday of the week. Name names.

They're minors. In the UK and most of the developed world, you cannot give life without parole to a minor.

Teachers should be paid 50% more. If you want good teachers to stay, you have to walk the walk, otherwise you'll get a perpetual cycle of overwhelmed grads being bossed around by rusted-on bottom teer heads.

It's so strange how people do some mental gymnastics to think that Israel is completely justified in all of their prior and current crimes against humanity.

Heck, the freakin hostages and Israelies in hospital in Israel have publically ridiculed the government and the army, hence Netanyahu is bunkered down hasn't visited anyone.

If your country is being invaded, you don't have a choice. War is a savage and cruel phenoma. It turns people into animals. What an invading side can do to civilians under occupation is beyond comprehension. The Nanking Massacre comes to mind in modern memory.

You may regard yourself as a pacifist and in the moral high ground, the women and children who get systematically raped and mutilated through no fault other than being a trophy for monsters to use, would think of you in another view.

I know I'm being brutal with my words, but the real fucking crime is the fucking invasion. Zelensky has to do everything to defend it's existence.

Ladders. Most serious workplace accidents in a lot of trades can be linked back to falling from a hight. Don't be cocky when up a ladder, even little ones.

Bill Gates no longer works for Microsoft. He couldn't care less about you're data.

Same for me. When RIF stopped working I went into Lemmy and haven't went on Reddit since. The FOMO I thought I'd get isn't there because I'm active and welcome here. I have people to connect with, and that's what I really only wanted out of a social site like this.

/r/MadeMeSmile portrayed toxic positivity which felt out of touch with reality.
