@lehtimaeki even in real life I find that people that are active are more tolerable on average and it’s not a coincidence

This idea is based on a supposition that general public can learn from (other countries) experiences. Wishful thinking...

@lehtimaeki people are lazy and changing opinions takes effort...

@mejs yeah, here in EU things are not much better...

“The “blame the pedestrian” lobby is missing the point that people should be able to walk freely without fear of death”

@mejs ova situacija podsjeća na Dobar Loš Zao kad Clint kaže - nećemo pobijediti i Bog nije na našoj strani jer Bog mrzi idiote...

@floooh @jakubtomsu Did you know that sokol means falcon in Croatian?:)

@cejjacobs @Sustainable2050 @Datagraver I found this on ourworldindata.com. The numbers are adjusted for inflation and show that disposable income grew 78% from 78-22 (no data outside this range). If we take the gas price went from 1.5 to 2€ it means that it grew 33% - so one could say gas is approximately twice as cheap.

@dangillmor funny how it didn’t cross my mind to do it until I read your posts, and even now it feels a bit strange hopping from one streaming platform to another.

@dangillmor Your posts made me think about my subscriptions. Wouldn’t it be fairer (and lower the barier to entry) for the supscriptions to end each month. You’d need to prolong it by clicking manually. More people would cancel for sure but also more people would subscribe and more importantly they would have immediate feedback about the quality of their service. And more people would subscribe - I don’t subscribe more because I have a fear of being locked in...

@phpmacher @grivettcarnac that’s my e-bike has a belt instead of chain.

@straphanger I remember visiting in 1995 and it was one of the attractions then:) I was hoping that in the future there would be everywhere...
