I'm not dismissing the challenges you're facing but single no child people are suffering too, just very different challenges. I've spent almost a year alone in a flat with no separate working space and unable to do any of my

This describes my state pretty well too. I was already considering how to find more meaning or engagement with my work but lockdown has made those feelings far far more extreme. I'm hopefully taking a three month sabbatical to get away

Maybe you're in a bubble but regardless I don't think it should be a black and white rule. Whether I discuss politics or similar contentious issues (religion, ethics etc) all depend on the individual relationships. I don't bl

I'm in the same position. No advice yet. I've been trying to figure out why I want a meaningful career/job so much (rather than being satisfied with cushy) but no insights yet.

Yeah that's some terrible urban design there. If you're getting that close to an area worth pedestrians it should not be a 45mph limit.

Why shouldn't being able to cross the street be normalized?

> But obviously we can’t have a rule where people are allowed to just cross busy city streets at will anywhere. It would be terrible for overall mobility in the city as well as dangerous. That's how many many countries operate and i

That's the point. Cars have an unmatched level of potential damage compared to almost anything short of actual weapons. Insisting that drivers are careful in any areas where pedestrians might be and being strict about that isn't u

No. You can use a crosswalk or ignore it as you like. Of course most people use them cause they prefer not to get hit by cars.

Not that I disagree there's an anti car segment here (I'm personally very anti car) but a car can be (can not necessarily is) an effective murder machine. What other pieces of personal property does Western society openly embrace

But a train is on specific tracks where a pedestrian has little need to be. That's not the case with cars, which intermingle heavily with pedestrian areas. In those cases I think it's perfectly fair to restrict their speed for saf

In the UK we have a good setup where is a pedestrian walks out it's on the driver to be careful and try stop, therefore the presumption is normally that the driver (or larger vehicle generally so lorry>car>cyclist>pedestrian)

When an American friend explained it to me at uni I honestly thought they were trying to trick. It's just such an absurd concept, like how does anyone walk anywhere? Then I realised they don't.

> b) because there's a power dynamic. I can accidentally kill a pedestrian, a pedestrian can't accidentally kill me unless they throw a brick off an overpass. I'd argue the opposite conclusion and say that as one operating

by ck425 6y ago
The solution there is that you drop the speed limit for everyone and therefore you're not a road hazard. Anywhere that could have a reasonable number of pedestrians should have adopted limits such that the majority of traffic can safel

Jaywalking is such ridiculous 'crime'. It's not a thing here in the UK and when an American friend first explained it at uni I thought they were winding me up. It's no wonder American cities are so unwalkable and that Am

Horizon and Spiderman (original and Miles Morales) are both great gameplay wise. Spiderman is more of a button smasher but still a little tactical, Horizon on hard difficulties really makes you think on your feet while still being an rpg. O

Any idea what scientifically is actually happening?

This. Unfortunately it's much harder in winter due to short days where I live (currently 7 hour days) but in summer it's great. I find audiobooks and podcasts are also great for walking. Popular science and good self help is inter

I remember trying to play DA:I on 360 and how much better it was on PS4. As soon as I heard the Cyberpunk PS4 reviews I took the money I had aside for Cyberpunk and got Miles Morales instead. I'll be playing Cyberpunk in new years&#x2F

I've never had any issues. I've ran with cabled headphones and it's fine.

Do you still have to disable the security setting? Can't recall the name. But that's interesting I'll look back into it.
