#commute times

[blackswaneuroparedux]

Traveling, you realise that differences are lost: each city takes to resembling all cities, places exchange their form, order, distances, a shapeless dust cloud invades the continents.

- Italo Calvino

The commute times in capital cities are higher - in London they are often an hour one way. Another way of understanding it. UK (67m people) had 4m people with commutes over 60 minutes in 2019 compared to 3m in Germany (83m people).

Taken as an average the commute times of European countries are very similar. The only thing that is baffling is the 29 minutes commute time in Luxembourg which is only a tiny city.

Navigating the Not-so-Peachy: The 21 Worst Cities to Live in Georgia, 2023"

Introduction Life is a mosaic of decisions, with one of the most significant being the choice of where to call home. Our previous article illuminated the “Top 10 Best Cities to Live in Georgia, 2023,” but we understand that knowing where not to settle can be equally crucial.

Also increasingly aware that a LOT of people "manage" getting through the 40+ hour work week by sleeping less than is healthy and relying on stimulants like coffee and energy drinks to keep them going.

For people who are unwilling or unable to do this...work really does just dominate your life. Like we really should not have to rely on unhealthy practices just to have a social life or keep on top of housework or whatever.

I know I post about this a lot but I'm so TIRED all the time and it's just so depressing that this is how we're expected to spend the one life we have.

you guys seemed to enjoy my cringe-fail legolas sexy gimli post so here’s some more of my thoughts ab that dynamic:

-when legolas goes home and announces his engagement to gimli thranduil is shocked but every other elf is like “yeah checks out. that kid’s always been a little weird.”

-gimli goes home to announce his engagement to legolas and every dwarf promptly loses their SHIT at the fact that THE gimli, son of gloin, is betrothed. only to further lose their shit at the fact that it’s to that weird elf prince that they have never heard speak unless to send some sort of diplomatical message for his father but some dwarflings once saw him sobbing in front of a tree in the middle of a rainstorm while gripping a fallen branch.

-thranduil only gives his blessing to the proposal once he realises just how angry all of erebor is that their most eligible bachelor, gimli, the silver-tongued battle ready diplomant and descendant of kings, has been stolen away by thranduils weird tree-hugging naked star gazing hippie son.

Don't worry Etho I too heard the words "we could steal Gem's tower" and immediately thought the plan was to manually dismantle it block by block and move it to the Roomies' base, nor did I see any problems with this

On a silly note, can we all give Simon a hand for committing to decision he made like 8 IPA beers deep, wearing a moo moo (commando!) in a corn field? What a legend.

This is a strip that I debated back and forth on regarding the use of a punchline. Ultimately, I decided that it didn't need anything more than the visual. Hopefully, I'm right and the gag plays. I was an insomniac for the majority of my life until I got on hormones, but every now and again, this still drives me nuts. Such is life.
