What a ridiculous way to live. Imagine not having a pavement along a road people might need to travel along.
Like sure, here there's no pavements along roads once you get outside of towns and cities to the big connecting roads, the kind nobody would want to walk down anyway, motorways, dual carriageways, and of course small country roads and the like.
But if you physically can't get from A to B in a town without walking along an unsafe verge? The fuck is your local government doing and why haven't they been sacked yet?
To be fair, I also live somewhere that Americans hate from what I've heard, the dreaded evil 15 minute neighbourhood. Everything I need, more or less, is within a short walk. That's just how things are built in the UK, my whole area was built in the post-war 50s construction boom, so it's hardly new.
Within 15 minutes I can walk to a newsagents, off licence, flower shop, takeaway, opticians, doctors surgery, dentists, schools, butchers, bakery, supermarkets, bicycle repair shop, barbershops and salons, cafes, etc etc. Often there's more than one of a thing available.
There's much more within easy reach, because there are many buses and rail trams running in various directions to get to different places in the city and in the towns surrounding the city, all stops within a 15 minute walk of my house. They run frequently and are very affordable to use.
Anyway, yeah, while I don't expect everywhere to put such a big focus on ensuring pedestrians can live their lives without cars, I expect them to at least have PATHS, for fecks sake.
...how do their children walk to school if there's no bloody paths? Come on. Local government should be run out of office for endangering the kids like that, nevermind everyone else. I mean... how do wheelchair users etc get around? Christ.
Might help to know what country you're in, or continent even?
How does anyone expect to get very nation specific advice like this without giving any hint as to where they're from - besides it probably being a country that probably has many English speakers as a second language if not first...
Hey if you're struggling to get your Antifa membership card renewed let me know, I work at head office.
Usually I'm organising boycotts of innocent local businesses who are just exercising their right to be American, but I know the guy that handles the membership assignments.
Look up the news from the past day or 2, it's actually much more interesting than that!
The original founder (well, one of them) got the studio devs back together and bought the game back off the people he sold it to who had canned it, and now they're back developing it.
Are you sure? This guy seems pretty sure everybody that uses the current most popular western online community building chat platform is a sex offender if they're over an arbitrary age. Surely they must be right!
I'm on the Discord community for my metropolitan city along with many thousands of people from all walks of life and all sorts of ages, I need to head over there and let them know that apparently they're probably all sex offenders!
Yes, but the thing is, people just don't fly it here for no reason.
Unlike the USA, where it was so ridiculous that I played a game with myself called "Turn around and there'll always be a flag somewhere in front of me" (it really is that insane, their level of nationalism/exceptionalism disguised as patriotism is wild),
...here the flag may be flown for patriotic events (e.g. World Cup), or flown by official institutions, but 99.99% of regular people would never consider flying it for any other reason, and it's very rarely seen overall. This is normal.
National flags are generally meant to indicate nationality outside of one's own borders to others around you (e.g. an embassy in a foreign land, or ships at sea). They're not at all useful on home soil, so why bother flying one?
So, yes, it's our flag (though not the version people fly that says ENGLAND in big letters in the middle - that's just stupid). But the people that fly it are almost always bigots and weirdos that you want to stay away from, especially these days.
If they "can't do anything" on their own service then how can they be trusted at all?
They're either lying outright, or are so deeply incompetent that they don't know how their own software works and can't touch it to try to resolve a problem for fear of breaking something.
