Well, then that would still mean cyclists endanger a lot less people than car drivers.

And people keep consuming a little bit more.

I get that. Sure.

It just seemed yet another really black/white discussion and I lost faith there for a moment

Thanks man. I got some hate for my comment suggesting a mix might be beneficial and I hobestly don’t get it.

I have much the same experience as you with disconnection and meaningfulness.

You want me to back up that something is possible? Like prove that the fabric of everything could facilitate a situation with the mentioned parameters holds true at the same time without the universe imploding?

That is a great epistemological question. And of little practical value i fear.

However, as you came across derogatory with the feelings bit, I’m going to have to ask you to try again, if you really want to talk about this stuff.

This is a very binary discussions. It is entirely possible that working from home when concentration is needed, and office for cohesion and alignment, is better for everyone.

I sure as shampoo have 5x the efficiency when not in the office. But i also get disconnected and work feels meaningless when not with a group of people.

Yeah that is very low, but i don’t know what is normal in those elections.

And it is going to get even better: https://www.dw.com/en/france-paris-to-increase-car-free-zones-after-referendum/a-72019387

I’ve this theory that mostly Americans never answer the phone due to can-spam laws and such.

I usually answer if i see a call and it is convenient, but phone is always on silent.

Just avoided Philadelphia cheese (US) product using madeometer.com. Small win, nice feeling.

Flipped the product upside-down for the next customer.

Well that, and fear-mongering and lying on the other side of the aisle.

I love that. We even have something similar on my street - it makes a world of difference.

Still mostly cars though.

Sure, here too. But cargobikes take up a lot more space than regular bikes.

Meanwhile a battle royale between cargobike owners about parking unfolds in backyards, at schools and shops.

But i aint never seen car spots designated for cargobikes although three families could benefit from just one car space.

What really grinds my gears, is whenever it snows, and it is really easy to tell the cars aren’t even being used most days.

Our public space is apparently just a place for some people to store their personal belongings.

Makes me want to just put a freezer in a vacant parking spot and leave it there.

For people interested in this, also check out Pontevedra in Spain. They went (almost) car free and the city blossomed ❤️

AMEN brother.

I kind of agree, although I wouldn’t say it tracks directly. But less workers rights surely means disengagement, less nuanced goals than just profits surely means disengagement.

Also anglo-saxon management philosophy is definitively part of this.

I aint a fan of a two-party system - I’ll take the slow, stable Danish way any day.

But how is that directly related to disengaged workers?

This is the logical outcome of liberalism IMO.
