Soup

Been trying Hinge and there’s lots of space and opportunity for it. What I’ve discovered/had validated is thay most people are just painfully cookie-cutter. Some are not, and it’s why I still use it.

That’s just classic branding at that point. If you listen to the conservatives and the media in Canada you’d swear the Liberal party was a super woke bunch of progressives but the majority of stuff they ever do that can be considered progressive is whatever the NDP was able to negotiate for during the coalition when the Liberals held a minority government. I don’t know much of French politics but I have the feeling thag their “left” is only such in that they aren’t explicitly a right-wing party and that there’s a further right option.

You literally said that progressives need to make real change by rallying behind unideal candidates who may be a little amoral. And you think it’s my fault for in-fighting because I want to focus on the more ideal and more moral options? Fucking please.

I can’t tell if I’m more insulted that you’re lying to my face or that you would actually think I’d believe you. God, you truly are a pathetic little weasel, aren’t you?

Saving the money by how, buddy? What other action comes along with that to make it so that one could be not needing the car?

And no, I am not saying that. I am saying that it does not need to be that way, and that we can build better when we build new things.

I genuinely can’t tell if you’re illiterate or simply stupid, but either way I’m going to go now because you are draining what little remaining hope for humanity I have from my body and I’d like to hang onto that.

It’s also not just the US. In Canada we are constantly told that we must stop dreaming about electing our main progressive party and that we must rally around the increasingly conservative centrist party. Centrists demand sacrifice but refuse to ever give anything in return. They are cowardly obstacles, not serious people.

Our last election saw the NDP lose official party status because of a lack of votes, the Conservatives are still highly supported and will get in eventually when they’re even crazier, and the Liberals we elected are the most conservative they’ve even been down to letting private companies steal our natural resources with fewer consequences all while helping ones like Air Canada by trying to declare the flight attendant strike illegal. People said our prime minister being a banker would help us this economy but he shown that he would rather weaken the average citizen than help them.

At least right-wingers spew their hate with their whole chest. Centrists are just cowards, nothing more.

First, the post is literally about moving into a city.

Secondly, we all know that rural places exist and you’re not being smart for bringing it up as if we don’t. This sub is based almost entirely on making cities, which are inherently worse off with car-centrism, into better places.

Lastly, there is zero reason why rural communities need to be that spread out. You 1000% can have mid-density, walkable towns and many older villages in North America have town centers that are built closer to that ideal. Those places were then surrounded by sprawl and suffer greatly for it.

The ignorance is your own.

It’s always the progressives who need to rally behind the centrist, isn’t it? Never the other way around because you’re just a coward.

How about you grow even an inch of a spine and rally behind someone who wants to make real change? How about you stop spending you life on this planet being nothing more than a barrier? Get it together.

I really don’t give a damn whether you hate me or not, your opinion is worthless. You don’t know the first fucking thing about togetherness, just empty platitudes that make you comfortable so you don’t need to actually face anything difficult.

Also true! I don’t drink much, but it’s still a huge benefit, and it also means that I don’t need to think about the timing or anything when I do have a glass.

Mamdani handed the DNC a win and they fought him the whole way anyhow. Centrists as always act like there’s no alternative between centrism and conservatism even though it’s only and specifically because they systematically attack anyone who actually tries to make things truly better.

Hey, buddy? Shut the fuck up.

The US is in the mess because of worthless people like you who get angry at anyone who hopes for more. People say “hey can we not do better than complete garbage?” and you feel the need to tell them that they’re wrong. Gavin Newsom will not dig you out of the hole you’re in, nor will any other center-right corporate stooge.

I say this with my whole heart: I hate you.

“This is nothing, you can’t even trust this random limosine driver” - The people who latched onto the cats and dogs lie, and the people who told it, even after Vance explicitly said it was made up.

I spend under $70/mo on my metro pass, and they’re normally “expensive”* at $104/mo. There are zero added costs, ever, except for if I didn’t also own a car I would need to use a carshare service probably once a month, but it’s hard to gauge since sometimes I use my car just to make sure it actually gets used. Without a car there are no parking fees, no gas, no maintenance, and not even any need to shovel snow or anything else that you likely don’t even realize you do simply to keep owning a vehicle.

$280/mo is a pretty bum deal to not even get other benefits like being driven around or never having to deal with the concept of rush hour.
