I think we also aren't giving humans enough survivability credit. There have been native peoples who have lived from deserts, arctics, jungles and everything in between. A lot of this often relys on the natural environment but humans are surprsingly resourceful. Anything modern societies consider junk or trash now could still be used be it as fuel, makeshift tools or they repair it enough to use it. So long as the people in the society can reach sexual maturity, humans will live on.

Theres an episode of survivor man where he spends a few days on an arctic coast and a lot of what he relied on at times was the trash that floated in from the ocean. Something like a broken plastic barrel can provide shelter.

The government made it clear auto approval would happen and they would confirm later. I guess its kinda a cover your ass policy but some people urgently needed the funds.

The government didn't make an error in their favor, the applicants played the game without knowing the rules

If they had a genuinely good transit network, the savings in road maintaince, widening & emergency services would likely more than cover the costs. Our governments look at things individually, its all about how much money is the bus making, not about where its saving money or reducing costs in the bigger picture.

Sorta. I took more as a sometimes you have a bad day or get knocked down but you gotta try again. In sissyphus the task is always impossible. For the spider the spout is only impossible when it rains.

Are you inplying these older cars weren't intended to last longer than 100k because I'd wager most of the cars in the top image at least doubled that before going to scrap.

Not always. If you keep that car in good condition and it ends up being a desirable color it it could be considered rare by resale time, you're just rolling the dice when you buy it with that strategy compared to a more common/basic color.

Not just the color. Each make and model used to look distinct and unique. Now they all have the same vague SUV shape. It makes sense aerodynamics and safety standards are a thing but it still feels so corporate and almost dystopian.

On one hand, its an expression of how long the poster struggled with finding themselves, on the other a 45 year old egg could read that and start taping the cracks in their egg back together cause now it feels way too late for them.

This is why i like to do yoga for a similar meditative effect. Its easier to clear my mind when holding a position and the positions help promote long even breaths which help achieve a calm mental state.

In my area it can be very difficult to get an apartment unless you or someone you're renting with has a decent score. Participating in this bullshit isn't a choice for some people.

If you'd like to build a 4th chest, you will have to buy some chest tokens using minecoins which of course has a tiered pricing scheme.

It should have been taught to you throughout school and community initiatives

 

The group Greater Sudbury Safer Sidewalks says surveys it has conducted during the past two years of a pilot project exploring enhanced winter sidewalk maintenance clearly show the public wants the project to become permanent

I've been having some minor issues with comments. Once a comment thread gets longer than 3 or 4 comments, accesing those deeper comment chains becomes very inconsistent/impossible. The "view more" button to see the rest of the comments will sometimes just disappear or do nothing when pressed. When accessing deep threads from my inbox or profile it will start at the top of the comment thread and fail to load/access the deeper comments, including the comment I used to navigate to that thread. Has anyone else had similar issues or found solutions?

 

The past couple updates whenever I'm browing "all" with sort set to "hot" the first few pages of scrolling is accurate but then it turns to posts that are 6months-2years old. This is only after 1-2 minutes of scrolling. Has anyone else had this issue?
