Yup. I’m Bo7a.
Furlow the squirrel-o is offended by your unfounded accusations. 
More seriously though. Given abundance of food basically everything we ‘know’ about animal species interaction gets thrown out the window.
At any moment outside my window you find a dozen species eating side by side every single day that we were told would ‘for sure kill each other before sharing a food source’.
What that says about scarcity in relation to humanity I’ll leave to someone else…
Everyone I have met who was worth talking to has seen and loved this movie. Am I old?
Count another one for the sysadmin building a homestead in the forest while also building platforms for evil corpos from home.
I also have no intent of ever turning my farm into any kind of income. But it is definitely worth all of the extra work to spend any breaks sitting outside surrounded by animals, trees, water and sky.
Sysadmins hate computers.
I have a degree in philosophy and I draw PowerPoint decks for other nerds to use and turn into data platforms that I used to build myself…
In all fairness. That is exactly how I feel about your reply.
And now my own.
I don’t think I understand your point here.
I was talking about my experience which is 80% in North America. Your points do not apply in North America as we have actually been getting worse for non-car travel in most cities since the 90s.
And that’s without even mentioning the atrocities that are considered inter-city or city-rural travel.
Not in Canada. Not in the US.
Over here we are actively gutting existing bicycle infrastructure to please the right wing morons
We actually did live in switzerland back in 2020 (I know, schengen is not EU) and were about to lease a home in France, but someone in my family fell ill and I had to come back to Canada.
The transit, grocery , pharmacy, and cultural access was amazing to us, even in times when locals were complaining of severely limited services.
Also Canada where the majority of my experience comes from. If I could see some my taxes going towards a Euro-style infra for moving people and things I would be a much happier person overall.
Ditto. But the rest of the travel we do need to do to interact with people, amenities, and services, is still worse than it should be due to poor inter-city and city-rural transit. At least here in Canada. My time in Europe showed me how bad we really have it. Even with the unavoidable foibles that happen in the best of cases/countries.
I was referring to the city planners as @EtherWhack@lemmy.world correctly surmised.
I also have worked from home* for almost two decades. But the non-work travel is still stained by the horrible planning in most urban sprawls.
* For various strange definitions of “home”. From a campground to an RV on a lake, and apartments in Switzerland to rotting farms in Alberta.
And since then - We have found ways to make all travel worse for comfort, more expensive, and more necessary.
Our snake Ruby (12 foot, 80lbs, red-tail boa) has been to kindergartens, old folks homes, random family reunions, and about 100 pet stores. She has never wrapped herself around anyone, hissed, or done anything aggressive. It sounds like your friends with snakes don’t take very good care of them. Or they got troubled animals.

Hah! Fair jab. In my defense that title was just a blown up way to attempt to keep me onboard without a raise. Being director of IT in a startup with only one IT person is definitely not filled with director-level tasks. That title, and the bullshit that came with it, are a big part of why I left.
Nice try, troll. I’m posting here for the real humans. Not to convince you of anything.
edit to add: only one of us came into a thread espousing their views without being prompted. Maybe work on that before accusing others.
Finally, some criticism that makes sense! I will be sure to start feeding the foxes too. We already feed the birds, squirrels, chipmunks, marmots, bunnies, raccoons, stray cats, fish, black flies, and mosquitoes (with varying levels of ‘on purpose’).
What is one more species?
Seriously - This cruel bastard spends $500(cad) per month on feeding wildlife in the winter. What a piece of shit. And those raccoon houses we built so they’d be happy further from the house and stop tearing up our insulation? TORTURE FACILITIES filled with soft straw, eggs, fruit, and cat food.
I bet you also have a 4 digit slashdot id!
(This is not an insult. Quite the opposite)
