    It is really sad that Patrick Breyer will no longer be part of the European Parliament. His work was very important. I can also really recommend the 37C3 video!

    I just found that the 16 largest Ships emit as much as all cars. Did not check the source further.

    But that really depends on how you measure and define pollution. As others have pointed out container ships are still pretty efficient. But of course they should get better too. Like everything!

    Source: https://cedelft.eu/publications/the-basic-facts-how-do-the-emissions-of-ships-and-cars-really-compare/

    As I have said, I did not fact check it further because it is quite late here. Just wanted to give information to that claim and please correct your statement (:

    This song was the first one I heard of him and it gave me chills too. Also 2 or 3 am and going down that rabbit hole since then. 7 am now. I hope that too!

    Yeah its pretty crazy... I cannot really put into words what that song makes me feel. As a guy that has to fight mental illness for quite a long time it really hits quite hard because he gets a lot of points. Its not that I hear voices like him. For me its just my own thoughts that tell me ever so often that I suck and am worth nothing. Its crazy how that guy gets that all into that song. The whole fight that he does. And in such a freaking cool way. The other songs that he made also remind me more of an story or bard style than typical rap that I see in mainstream today. Can recommend it fully

    Same here, every time I was driving train at night in germany. I rarely was in a sleeper train and if I was. Only in the normal seating compartments. They are just way to expensive. I sometimes look for fun what a flight would cost. And mostly its more than the half...

    And don't get me started with train driving to other European countries

    That is correct. It would need a lot of change in the US. But I can say in Europe it works pretty well.

    Mixed Zoning and less suburbs are just two of the changes that would make a lot of lifes a lot better!

    Then be against surveillance in general... Its also a big problem. Not only a problem of 15 Minute cities. Cameras can also track your car quite easliy. Through the whole city.

    All I need is less than 10 minutes away and I rarely need to go further for anything. And I love it. Not car dependend and no surveillance here.

    I am one of the poorer people in Germany, so at the very lower end. I am still pretty happy to be here because my lifestyle is quite better than in most of the other world. But I don't see where I could make any bigger changes anymore.

    • I don't drive (Fuck Cars!)
    • I do not fly
    • I eat near to none meat
    • When I travel, I travel only inside Germany with trains
    • I try to work in a field that helps the public transportation

    And so on. I understand the point you are trying to make. But for me it seems like the good old, you as a person are a problem! Not the industry, the policy makers and the fucking rich people with private planes.

    Don't get me wrong here, I still see how entitled I am and that I can still change some small things... But sadly, that won't save the world

    Yeah you are right, its my first time being moderator for such a big community. I just wan't to make the thought process behind my/our decisions more clear for everyone and I think that would not hurt. But thanks for your feedback! I really appreciate it

    Of course, I am pretty happy that at least one person had some questions so far. Its in our all interest to make such questions a community thing (:

    As you say, it is nearly impossible to write things, so that no one feels attacked by it. The goal is just to make obvious attacks against specific people against the rules. If someone feels attacked by unbiased facts, then its his problem. Because it would make it nearly impossible to make any discussions. So I would say we act by the unbiased fact.

    Okay I will try to give a bit more insight and it seems that we should add some explanations to the rules.

    • You don't have to agree with everyone. Disagreements are a fundemental part of a community and its important that we can discuss about things. Of course the fuck word is still allowed. In my opinion at least in the context of this community. I meant its in the name.
    • That is a really hard thing to differenciate for me currently. And I am working on it. But nontheless I would say that you can make a point, probably a far better one if you do not attack the person directly. You can attack the believes or the things that they write but not the person behind that. If you think someone else is going to far and you feel the need to get onto an personal level, you won't win anything.
    • The line is also not easy, I understand what you mean. It was meant by me in a more general sense to like what I wrote in the point above. We should all be able to make our points and discredit other things without being dicks to other people.
    • Could rename that clearer. Crossposts are completly okay so far. I wrote that in because we had sometimes, but not very often the case several people posted the same video in a short time. Its just there that we can make an easier call on that and delete things that are double. So probably no reposts?

    Thank you very much for your input and I hope I could make my thought process a bit clearer

  • As we have seen a rise of toxic behavior we have decided that it would be time for some rules. We would love other ideas too and feel free to discuss it here. Also we are thinking about, to put in an Automoderation tool that could help us a lot. Because its currently not easy for us to scan every new comments and reports are rare currently. We want your opinons on that too, because its important to us that this community is based on the people here. The shortlist that we have currently as idea for the Rules: - Be Kind to each other - No Hate speech - Dont harass people - No Racism, sexism and any other discrimination - Dont attack other people just because they have differnt opinions (Stay on Topic) - Do not double post

    Okay what exactly do you wan't him to do? Thats what I want to know. I mean he is doing quite good in seeing the issues and he also wants some change. Probably not as much as some of us, thats hard to say because I dont know him. So as long as people are not against that change we can first treat them maybe as allies?

    You seem to see the world in black and white. And I think that is hurting you somewhat. I was the same a few years earlier but I realized that the world is way to complex to make it that easy.

    Just because I am able to live without one currently. It does not mean that everyone is able. I am not saying fuck all cars, just that we need to get them off our planet pretty soon for the benefit of all people. So currently for me Fuck Cars is just Fuck all Cars that are useless and not needed! Some people need cars and probably don't like it too! For me personally this communtiy is to rant about cars and why they suck for us all. Giving ideas for better world without cars and showing people that love cars that there are good reasons to hate them too.

    I understand what you see, seems bad for you but thats currently how the world is. A bit fucked up. But we all try to change it to a better place and I think that is great and why I love communities like this one (:

    I understand that, I did hope most people will also read the article here. But the idea suggested by Vance is clearly not too far off in my opinion. I am happy too discuss that stuff here because it would fit the theme. I am not a big fan of Musk myself so I am probably a bit biased too

    Incredibly they are pretty good to steer. I thougt the same first time I tried them. Some of them also have little seats for children to sit in, I assume that is why its in the front. But I clearly did like to see my groceries while driving.

  • I would love to see it in more cities/countries, because I use it very often. I don't have the money to buy one for myself so the best that happend was that the city decided a few years ago to make stations where you can rent these bikes for a short shopping trip or to some nice place. They aren't even really expensive too. [Source of Picture (Article in German)](https://www.konstanz.de/start/service/tink-lastenraeder+ab+september+auch+am+zaehringerplatz.html)

    In the absence of a flair system on lemmy yet, let's try to make it easier to scan through posts by type in here by using tags: - [meta] for discussions/suggestions about this community itself - [article] for news articles - [blog] for any blog-style content - [video] for video resources - [academic] for academic studies and sources - [discussion] for text post questions, rants, and/or discussions - [meme] for memes - [image] for any non-meme images - [misc] for anything that doesn't fall cleanly into any of the other categories I have copied that idea from another community. I forgot which one so sorry! Feel free to discuss that here, I would like that change because it makes it a lot easier

    I know this exists on Reddit. I just miss it very much here and I thought. We are now the core community and we need to build stuff new. I am more than happy to give this to the moderators that moderate the reddit sub. But I wanted to make it real here. On my part I will mostly post Videos or other stuff about that topic. Or just rant about the street in front of my apartment. Feel free to discuss the topic here and bring ideas to a better live without cars!
