america used to develop for density. Go read the book “Strong towns” technolpgical development alone doesn’t explain the car centric development. There was active lobbying and dismantling of alternative methods of construction just to support automobiles.
Americans have been brainwashed into accepting there is no solution to a problem that was introduced by car makers in the 1960s. American cities were dense and had lots of alternate modes of transit before all of it was ripped out under the guise of technological “development” and “freedom”

oh this tired argument again!
You don’t drive across the country daily do you? How long does it take to drive across the country? that’s irrelevant.
the whole of zoning and design of US is bad.
You can’t bring this up when the argument is how far is your local grocery store is to your house. Unless you drive cross country for your groceries!
“Not everyone lives in dense urban areas or suburbs”
Your argument is “that’s how it has always been and we have to solve around it” when the solution is to not to have it that way.
the US is hopelessly into spread out development. There’s no solving your way out of having to drive 10 minutes to get groceries without substantial changes to mindset and zoning policies. It’s so absurd!

sounds like American problems that you created for yourselves! Enjoy! (or not)

man, it’s so wild hearing that the nearest grocery store is 20 miles away. You guys have created unnecessary problems for yourself. It’s so shocking how rough you guys have it and how non-chalant you are about something which is a no-brainer for the rest of the world.
never seen more chumpier chumps than Americans.

I wouldn’t block someone on an escalator. But, in any debate about the topic, I would vehemently oppose any argument that allows people to run throw a narrow escalator full of old people or people with disabilities when a wide flight of stairs is right next to it.

if you can’t understand why it is important to have NASA of all people mention you by name, you’re naive, ignorant or just a child who thinks it’s cool to diss people for wanting recognition.
Please stop being an edgelord for a moment and think about the humans in the situation.
your holier than thou attitude only reeks of loneliness and ineptitude to put yourself in the shoes of others.

shame of you to pull the “I have kids!” card just so you can shove people aside in public for your tardiness. It would seem one can act like a complete ape with no sense of time in public and be excused because “Oh I have kids, you wouldn’t understand!”.
guess what? Everybody has kids or have had kids! If to u really care about them take the damn stairs? I don’t think you would have “fat lazy” people blocking your way?

hey maybe accept that you will never achieve as much as this person. Don’t pretend that a NASA article about you won’t make you feel successful.

So you think everyone should act in accordance with how while male peers think or act in a way that makes them not think “DEI Hire”.
I have news for you: those people will find excuses to exclude POC regardless of DEI
- Comment on Erasure 1 week ago:
That’s not how I read it at all. You’re so close to figuring out why POCs need DEI. You GF can’t get a job without DEI because of racism. Regardless of her skill or experience. DEI forces employers to look beyond skin colour.

maybe the concept of being in a hurry is alien to me as I am not tardy or impatient, or accept that I will be late and just not act like a baboon rushing towards a potential lunch.
- Comment on Attempt to motivate people to take the stairs 1 week ago:
I hate the concept of escalator etiquette because there’s the smallest amount of space and people feel the need to carve it up for those who can’t be patient or use the wide stairs. there’s no reason someone can’t use stairs if they are in a hurry.

After some point the thing that keeps the largest media conglomerates going is acquisition, bullying, buying legistlation, and the subsequent legalized fraud.
Creatives behind the works are kind of slaves with no freedom to express themselves. They just produce art and fill Disney’s catalog which may or may never be used for the next film.

You know what I figured out as a man? Just listen to the other party in this order of increasing priority: body language, facial expression, their words. MAIN THING TO AVOID: Never assume they are/will be comfortable with you. Never assume consent with body language or facial expression. If they want to be romantically involved THEY will approach you.
Before I was married my mind was on alert talking women in order not to come off as creepy. This was with women whom I had purely platonic relationships like my coworkers or college mates. I am aware the effect men have with their staring. To this day when I am walking on the street I make sure to not walk behind women. If I can i overtake them. If not I just change directions even if my destination is straight ahead. Treating the nonfamily women in my life like I would treat men should be the right thing to do… but its not easy with the reputation that men have among women.
So my point effectively is just don’t be creepy and pushy. Just be polite and reciprocate interest. Otherwise just treat them like your sister or guy friend.

It’s also not unreasonable to expect responsibility from people who regularly handle vehicles of several tons to know how to drive.
America has this weird aversion to critcizing drivers.
- Comment on Vectors Part 2 5 months ago:
Its easy to think about vectors in the first sense (as anything with direction and magnitude) when we’re working with classical units (space, force, electric fields, etc)
But it becomes a nightmare to understand intuitively when the vector is defined as something with magnitude and direction when speaking about units that are not obvious to us humans (like time)

This is why giving money to billionaires doesn’t work. Give it to normal working people. They will get some relief and this will increase their morale so the country gets better.
