  • Why is traveling such a big deal for people?

    Jump

  • Yup, as a British immigrant to Spain there is precisely 1 other British person who lives here that I talk to ... most I've met have zero interest in the language, culture, or people outside of touristy things.

    Meanwhile, I'm working in Vietnam at the moment, and my Spanish coworker's who came with me have the same attitude towards Vietnam.

    So, I think most people just aren't interested in the realities of different lived experiences of others. Sometimes in conversation I'll dangle a lure for someone to ask me about an atypical part of my life, and 9 times out of 10 they show no curiosity.

  • Well, it doesn't need signals or crossings because people can cross freely (unlike the US), the traffic speed is lower, and drivers know to look for pedestrians, cyclists and scooters ... but Vietnam does lack decent public transport.

    The flipside is that no part of the older cities is set up for public transport (hell, lots of houses are only accessible on foot or by scooter) and there's little money for putting in infrastructure that can't also help move freight - during rush hour that 10 lane road is 7 lanes of trucks and 3 of scooters.

  • It's bizarre to me that some people don't want to put any effort into their personal safety, regardless of the cause of potential danger.

    I've got used to crossing 10 lanes of traffic, at night, with no street lights or marked crossings, because I'm working in Vietnam and that's just how it is in one particular spot. It's my responsibility to navigate that safely, and part of that is making sure I'm visible.

  • The City of Barcelona traded 3 lanes of vehicle traffic for a green pedestrian corridor. Businesses sued, & eventually won in court. Then they admitted that they actually like the change.

  • Ok, well I hope that works for you, then!

  • Sorry to hear that, I hope you find your way to a better place!

  • Weirdness rule

    Jump

  • I ... don't really understand this.

    I'm unashamedly weird. If someone treats me weirdly because of it, then I know that's someone I don't need to spend effort thinking about (a very handy social shortcut IMO)... if I felt bad because of it, then my weirdness wouldn't be unashamed

  • Just touched down back in my home country for a week for lunar new year ... gonna make the most of it once jet lag wears off.

  • My brother is a car guy. He's also an ardent cyclist and is more environmentally conscious than the vast majority of westerners.

    Sometimes people are more than just one thing, and if a car spends 99.9% of it's time in the garage in bits it's not a major factor in pollution or traffic problems.

  • Meh, I got a new work laptop in December. It's "running" Windows 11 and has the copilot key - TBH having one useless key is the least of my worries.

  • "Ironically, I think we're starting to hit the point of recreating the substance of the meme."

    Ok, but no tongues.

    Yes, I think we both understand each other's point of view now. Perhaps I'm more wary of self a identification because I've seen other groups (sports and spiritual) accept self-description and then get turned inside out through it :-/
