I have a coworker who believes “they” are trying to get us all to live in 15 minute cities so that we can’t have cars because that’s how they’ll keep us from… Driving to other cities? I don’t know, keep us from… something good, I guess?
Here are my walking distances:
Straight-line distance to Big Ben: 7514km
Kept all the units identical to yours for ease of comparison

That is some amazing kid-sized fridge logic. I love it!
Back right: half of my phone (unless I’m carrying my purse)
Purse: pencil, pen, journal (X2), book I’m reading, pocket mirror/makeup pouch, sunglasses case, portable battery, cloth mask, house keys, car keys, mini flashlight, Bluetooth headphones, wallet, phone
I think you’re going to have to clean that up a bit before I fully understand.
I don’t know how to midweek things in 1d, let alone 3.
Group camp grounds have been full of music for probably as long as music and group camp grounds have existed
Got it, thanks.
Would I give them my debt, too? Assuming I had any, of course.
If you don’t understand that you’re saying that in the context of a thread about “agree to disagree” then I’m not sure there’s anything more to say.
Isn’t that sort of the point? They can’t actually get rid of us, but they think they can and should. That’s not something I’ll “agree to disagree” on.
Did you try googling it on ddg?
Fun fact fyi, unlike Reddit, post titles are editable on Lemmy
There’s just a lot of anti trans stereotypes in media that I tolerated before. It’s a lot harder to turn a blind eye to it when people use the same misunderstandings to try and tell me I’m sick and confused and bad for just being myself these days
There are so many examples of anti trans sentiment in older comedy. Just about all of them hinging on the “you can always tell” myth and/or highlighting how obviously wrong and confused the poor trans people must be. For someone whose only exposure to trans people was that for a long time, I can’t begin to say how damaging and limiting that was.
You do know that you do it too, right? Even many words being spelled “correctly” and used “logically” have changed in meaningful ways. It might annoy when someone now says “I’m literally dying” after a joke, but once upon a time “incredible” meant “totally lacking credibility” and not “amazing”. Language changes. In French, you negate a verb by saying “not verb step”. Taken literally, it’s the same meaningless gibberish as “could of,” yet it’s good enough for l’Académie Française while “could of” is abhorrent? I get that it’s not how you’d like to communicate, and not how you’d like others to communicate with you, but it also isn’t inherently bad or undesirable, since clearly that is how many people communicate.
So communicate the way you prefer, and make it known that you’d prefer that. But also, don’t tell others they’re wrong for reasons that are, ultimately, just as arbitrary as theirs.
But that is what Randall’s talking about. People who often read and write with text speech and frequent misspellings and such actually score better at spelling and grammar tests. It’s not that they don’t know how to do better, it’s that they’re choosing not to. That’s how their audience communicates, so it’s how they do too.
I believe it was intended as a pun
