I think if it were a post about the Canadian perspective of whatever the US is doing it would be fine but not sure this is that

I think the all or nothing mentality is really holding a lot of people back. I know I can't do that kind of thing personally and always build my habits slowly. Want to go full veg? Give up one animal a month. Want to learn woodworking? Add one new tool (and only one!) each project. Want to run every day? Start with once a week and build. Also don't get all flustered if you miss one. Just do it the next day, don't consider yourself defeated and give up.

Omg is that why all my usual veg were sold out today?

Yeah he may not win the game but at least we're finally feilding a team

The problem is made up. We're more productive than ever and should have plenty of leisure time and plenty of safety nets for old age....but that wealth has all been siphoned off by a very few. The solution to this is tax the wealthy.

I think a better phrasing would be that all calories are the same, but not all calories are equally accessible (I think this is what you're getting at?). Eating calories that take more work to access inherently adds less stored energy at the end.

I just carry a book on me so when I get somewhere early I have a chance to do some reading

The thing about the music on transit is half the time it's people older than me (30s and up). Which means it's not a generational thing, these people were always out there.

As for QR codes, I think there are use cases, though they are often poorly implemented. QR code ONLY I agree is insanity

I mean, I don't like cats, but they love me. I think it's because I ignore them. Not sure why me not liking cat smell is a red flag

Yup at the low low cost of checks military budget oh. I love when we subsidize car drivers and oil tycoons with young people's lives, foreign state sovereignty, and the habitability of the only planet we currently occupy.

You're on the internet right now. Electricity is super dangerous and we already had a safe and well regulated postal system to communicate before that. If you're arguing that we should never innovate I think we just disagree there . The same argument could be used against a lot of things. Do I like self driving cars? Idk not particularly, I like trains and bikes. But the idea of freeing up people's time so they can focus on worthwhile endeavors appeals to me, and it bothers me that in our society the goal isn't to work less, but rather to work more for less. That's the point I was trying to make, that whenever we complain about 'lost jobs' we should take a moment to consider how absurd it is that that's a problem

I agree with those things, but I believe the person I was responding to was complaining about putting cab drivers out of work. I just think it's unfortunate that we can't simply take care of each other, that people are only valued based on what they produce, and therefore any threat to that production is viewed as negative. We're more productive than ever and we work more than ever. Our ancestors would be baffled if they could see us
