- rickydroll 1y agoThat's a little extreme. There are country mice and city mice. City mice want to live inside cities and eliminate cars. That's great for them. Country mice, like me and I suspect you, want city mice to stay in the city and not ruin the nicer, quieter living space outside. Now, if we could just get cities to keep their light pollution within the city, it would be a nicer world.

- para_parolu 1y agoNot sure I want dangerous human interactions and ability to navigate them to learn. Pretty much how I don’t want to learn navigating jungle on practice.
