It’s actually an irrational number, but for most purposes 100.4159F is a perfectly reasonable approximation.

But its not as shocking if I say that there are a million people in the room and one gets shot per day! (But I mean, that still seems significant to me.)

In their example, almost everybody is getting shot every year. Happy birthday, BLAM!

That’s disappointing to hear. Even the stable branch is problematic?

Mint has been such a smooth experience for me, as well! I’m glad that Linux gaming is improving, as its one of the few things keeping me using windows. Manjaro is supposedly very beginner friendly, as well.

My point was that it doesn’t need to be aerodynamic, because it won’t be going fast. I’m sure it is still capable of going fast, and that some bus routes go on the highway, but if the designers expected that to be happening with any regularity, they would have designed it with that in mind. Most busses are not aerodynamic because its not necessary. Busses are generally slow.

My commute to work is literally 15 minutes by car or 60 minutes by bus. Traffic is rarely a significant factor for me. It may sometimes add as much as 5 minutes to my travel time.

Would there be significant benefits if everyone used public transportation? Yes. Do I want to spend an extra 90 minutes commuting every day? Not even a little bit.

I love how much hate this reply got. Yes, its over the top and unrealistic, but the point is that private cars are extremely convenient while public transportation isn’t. Yes, private cars are very bad for the environment. So is pretty much all modern human industry.

Stop having kids, if you’re so concerned about the environment. Your stupid butthole babies and their progeny will cause more environmental harm than any of your personal lifestyle choices.

I agree that personal muscle cars are a “go fuck yourself” to the climate, but look at that bus. It doesn’t look fast because it has no reason to be aerodynamic. That thing is either stopped or going like 30 mph a majority of the time. If driving takes you 15 minutes but taking the bus takes you an hour, those with enough money will trade it to get that time back.

I apologize for making the assumption that you were American.

Its my understanding that even liberal american politicians are rather conservative, from a global perspective. This is probably the source of my confusion in our exchange.

But I agree with you that many people complain and are jealous when they see others being prosperous when they struggle to thrive. Also, people seem to just like to complain in general.

Here’s a section that I found from a website, on democratic socialism:

" In the present day, “Democratic socialist” and “socialist” are often treated as interchangeable terms, which can be confusing given democratic socialists don’t necessarily think the government should immediately take control of all aspects of the economy.

They do, however, generally believe the government should help provide for people’s most basic needs and help all people have an equal chance at achieving success. "

I think in this context, democratic socialists are just in support of government having more influence in business, strengthening unions and worker protections, addressing the massive wealth inequality. The current american government is really more on the side of business than on the side of workers.

My dude, I consider myself pretty liberal. For quick context: I think Joe Biden and the establishment stole the 2020 primary from Bernie Sanders, and I haven’t been gruntled since.

I agree with every point you made, explaining your political opinions.

The only things that I want to say are that being liberal and being proud of your country are not mutually exclusive. That’s a media propaganda talking point. “Liberals hate America!” - That’s just not true. Also, it sounds like you had a conversation about pay rates with an actual communist. Very few liberals are going to support actual communism. That’s another propaganda talking point.

Liberalism and democratic socialism is nowhere near communism. Democratic socialism supports the things you expressed support for: Social safety net programs, funding education, social medicine.

We all have more in common than we’re led to believe.

Please elaborate
