i don't think people realize that like, 70% of the ‘solar punk’ aesthetic is just investing in better public transportation. like literally. no air pollution? invest in better public transportation. no cars? better public transportation. more walkable cities? better public transportation. greener urban areas? better public transportation. more bike lanes? better fucking public transportation. come on guys.

hello duderinos, the problem isnt car-centric city design the problem is you havent downloaded the Zolo app. see those electric scooters literally everywhere? hop on man!
1. That costs money
2. Any time I take an electric scooter I fear for my life
3. Your argument doesn't address the real issue at hand and you should feel bad

Europe, it's been real, but I also walked 100 miles around your cities over the past week and I think my legs will die if I do not leave now. Adiós, au revoir, until next time.

what's incredible about these maps is how hard western euros will cope at the idea that their enlightened and superior society could ever be worse than *flips through notebook* those uncivilized lesser slavic poles and ukrainians. russians and croats also are lying too.
what's funny is that this yearly EU study is conducted in such a way that literally accounts for bias in reporting and cultural stigma, yet still they will cope and are unable to consider that based social democrat scandinavian finns beat their wives more than poles
(don't look at spousal murder rates in scandinavia ha ha)

OK!!! OK!!!! it's looking like I landed an internship working with BEES!!!!! this summer. BEES!!!!!!! AAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!! THEY'RE SO COOL! I have to study them expeditiously.
it's unpaid but I'm desperate to nab something so I can actually stay on campus (just figured out a few days ago that the fine print says you can't stay in summer housing without a university-sponsored job or internship fuuuuuuccckk).
at least it lit a fire under my ass, and I have a good amount in savings.

I can see how the regional phenomena in totk is basically totk's version of a modern 4 horsemen of the apocalypse: pollution (the sludge), addiction (marbled rock roast), climate change (the extreme blizzard; admittedly this one is a bit of a stretch), and pestilence/infectious disease (the giant mosquito boss and the undead gibdo). Which, hey, references to real life issues, great, but what I didn't like so much was how you can just solve puzzles and fight bosses--basically have a handful of big name heroes running around doing tasks--and the water will magically clear up, the addicts will magically become normal people again, the extreme storms will magically dissipate, and the pestilence will magically disappear. Real life does not work that way. I know, I know, it's a game why you taking it so seriously blah blah, but I'm just saying, we have to remember that for any of these problems to be solved, it takes a lot of effort and cooperation from a lot of people to accomplish, and that's definitely an understatement.
