As others have worded it, it’s a hobby. Self hosting is only necessary for a very small number of people, less than one percent of people on here, but it’s a fun hobby, and I’ve learned a lot about software and networks from messing with self hosting stuff.

RoadSIDE parking is chill. Middle of the road, all over the road, motorcycles zipping in between parked cars, cars parked on the little sidewalks we have in my country. I’ve visited actual slums in the Middle East: they feel similar.

I agree, fuck cars, but cars won’t disappear and be banned overnight. Even if we begin getting rid of cars one policy at a time, parking will still be a requirement. I live in a country without any parking requirement laws (no laws at all really), and the roads are uhh… interesting. Even nicer areas have roads that feel like slums because everyone is parked all over the street.

I think I’ve found love.

You know you messed up when a photographer can take what seems to be a long(ish) exposure shot of a highway.

We’ve seen targeted attacks before in Lebanon, and they can hit an individual target with a drone without any interference. A targeted attack kills and harms its target, and only it’s target. No one else.

This is precisely why I’d want my own kid driving a tank of a car, until laws are passed such that nearly all vehicles become smaller. I’d make him save up money to get a little car, and match whatever he’s saved to get him a far larger car.

If I’m being honest, I wouldn’t let my (future) kids drive a little car. They’d save up enough money to get a shitty little car, and I’d pay the rest to get them a big car. I’ve seen what happens to little cars in crashes, and if people continue driving the way they do, I’d rather my kid be in a big car rather than a little one (not Western nation).

Got me laughing my ass off in class
