I never wanted to be anything. Adults would ask child-me what I wanted to do as an adult and I’d just stare at them.
A terrible smelly person

Most EMT training programs are under six months. The little kid might be 12 years old and the adult is 19.
Yeah there are people born in like 2005 who are adults now, that’s how the world spins
(this is unrelated but I’ve only been going by she for a little while and it felt kinda nice to be called she like that, thank you.)
almost no one in China feels that their state is an oppressive force, they feel the opposite. The government has more than a 90% approval rating. The overwhelming majority of Chinese people view their society as legitimate and socialist. If you had any interest in democracy at all you’d respect this perspective instead of imposing your own
point is focus your criticisms on your own society that’s 1000x worse than even the most exaggerated crimes about China, cracker. Chinese people aren’t children and they can handle their own country in their own way, they don’t need some forum poster condescending to them and you don’t need a warped preoccupation with a country that probably has nothing to do with you
i’m sure Chinese people need patronizing crackers from the west to instruct them on what communism actually is
Yeah, cities in America from around 1870 to 1920 had extensive trolleycar networks. They were so widespread you could hop between them and even travel across state lines. Every major city had them and they were the primary mode of urban transportation. Now cities only have trolleycars as a novelty, like San Francisco still has theirs. New Orleans has beautiful streetcar lines. They’re mostly used for tourists, but if they were made more extensive and modernized then New Orleans could have very functional mass transit.
Most of the trolley networks were ripped up to make room for extra lanes or parking lots. It wouldn’t be easy, but it would be possible to repurpose existing roads for trams/trolleys. I really believe this.
A return to trolleys would also be lovely. A lot of American cities are already laid out with trolleycars in mind.
Are you saying capitalists and engineers are one in the same? Maybe sometimes, but it’s not capital that makes things, it’s labor.
What in the hell is capitalist hardware? Does my computer own a factory?
There’s the Oculus stattion in NYC which is ok, but I hate the building it’s connected to. It’s one of only a handful of nice stations though. Half of the NYC metro looks like Silent Hill.
Oh cool, that’s neat. Wow. Personally I’m only socially communist. But in terms of economics I’m radically communist
I’m getting the impression from Lemmy that there’s an overrepresentation of the particular demographic of comfortable middle-aged bookish software engineers who live in the US or Canada.
Oh ok, I guess nothing is good then and no one should even try to make alternatives. Cool
