God I hate these fucking floating monoliths. They always go, like, 10mph below the speed limit and if you try to pass them they just fucking distort reality around them until you're back behind them again. One of them cut me off on the highway once and when I honked it banished me to a hoary netherworld where I wandered, lost and alone, for untold centuries, trapped in the liminal space between what could have been and what never was, black stars dotting the bright infinity yawning out around me as I drove out of thought and time, through endless ruined cities and blighted lands unmarked by the sun's cold rays, and when I finally got out I was more than 20m late for my dentist appointment and they had to reschedule me.

hearing a beloved friend say the words 'can i be mean for a sec' is like watching an angel descend from the heavens and kiss you on the forehead

the problem with personality tests and other similar quizzes is that they assume you know things about yourself. Which is simply not true

crazy how much your life can improve if you just Move Somewhere Else

my mental health was abysmal when I lived next to a 10 lane motorway in a tiny cramped city that was too hot for me... as soon as I moved back home to aotearoa and got to live by the sea in a small town with lots of green spaces and libraries and cafes and art galleries and sea lions and dolphins and penguins and native birds my mental health SKYROCKETED to the point where it's honestly ridiculous. like saying "I LOVE BEING ALIVE... WOW WOW" out loud on occasion ridiculous. I'm so happy.

moving somewhere better is lifesaving. wishing everyone trapped in a shitty area the absolute best of luck moving somewhere someday that makes you glad to be alive [: it makes such a huge difference.

I don't think you can understand how much is done to try make places pleasant to live in, especially cities.

crabussy

not sure what you mean by that! could you clarify for me? I'm curious [:

City design and urbanism is a whole field of study dedicated to making city life better. Like it includes so many disciplines from Sociology to engineering and it's one of my many tisms.

Cities can vary, and some cities are nicer to live in than others. Like one of the big things that is told in city design 101 is "include ample access to Green space" and "don't build a city exclusively for cars".

Sadly, a lot of cities in the United States seem to actively hate this idea and instead make cities nothing more than a way to store people and force them to drive everywhere, and that by the way isn't an accident, it's by design.

ah okay, I see!!

maybe I need to clarify my post a little. [: I'm not denouncing cities as a whole concept. I currently live close to (but not within!) a MASSIVE city and I love it! it's open, it's got lots of green spaces, it has galleries and parks and museums and events and theatres and cool historical buildings and libraries and good food and so on. I love city planning + urban design, and I'm always fascinated by it!

the city I used to live in, however? I couldn't bear it. and I totally understand the parts of it that make it wonderful! singapore is a beautiful place to live. it just didn't work for me. I was stressed, overwhelmed, and my symptoms were exacerbated by the heat, humidity, and air pollution. some people move from small towns to massive cities and it improves their lives tenfold. some people like me do better in small towns (even though I do love the city!)

I've heard that cities in the US can be pretty badly designed, but I've never visited, so I haven't seen firsthand.

thanks for clarifying!

adding on a horrible fact! many cities in the US are the way they are because of systemic racism! (because of course)

I live in Baltimore, the city that pretty much invented Redlining in the US! Redlining was a way of legally segregating the city. Literal red lines drawn on a map to create segregating zones enforced by law. They made it so black americans could only buy houses in certain areas and then made those areas the worst they could: no green space, massive food desert, shitty public transportation to keep people stuck there, the list goes on! Essential businesses (banks, grocery stores, etc) didn’t want to invest in these neighborhoods! So yes, like said above, trapping people!

then after trapping black folks, the government engaged in “slum clearing!” displacing thousands of people. Some of these projects were things like the “Highway to Nowhere,” a completely unneeded highway that literally goes no where. Its entire purpose was to displace black families. You can imagine how these kinds of projects even further fucked the city layout.

Remember, poorly designed cities like baltimore were, like said above, built that way on purpose.

the more you know!

your muscles being pleasantly sore after exercise is such a nice incentive I can see why they patched that in. the forced regular logins to avoid losing progress however are a predatory practice and deserve nothing but scorn.
