Ahhh that makes sense!

The "Next Saturday" is just the next Saturday, the closest Saturday right? Or does it work differently in English?

I'm currently using some unbranded bag that has "Google Cloud" written in front of it, it's a gift I got from doing some kind of GCP competition.

For a generic backpack it really got the job done. It's been two years and it hasn't completely broken so it's an improvement compared to my previous backpacks.

But honestly, I wish it was waterproof

Would you believe that there's also an Android port of OpenMW? The power of FOSS

I'm confused, why the frown?

Same, I also mentioned in other reply I feel so comfortable in Riften

No matter what happens now

You shouldn't be afraid

'Cause I know today has been the most perfect day

I've ever seen

Yeah my first thought is The Elder Scrolls universe as well. Though I'd probably prefer Skyrim's world, especially as someone who lived too long in a tropical area and misses colder temperature. I think I'd love to live in a cottage in an eternal fall of Riften.

Unfortunately... Samsung is the only "normal" choice compared to others in my country... Other brands shipped adware, or just straight up shows ads on lock screen. I'm not joking. Samsung does it too unfortunately, though not as aggressive. Also I noticed after the year 2020 their midrange model has gone worse.

I miss Sony Xperia. I wish they didn't leave my country.

For a world that are post apocalyptic, Hyrule sure seems relatively chill tbh. But obviously i will choose pre-apocalyptic Hyrule

Would you describe that world to us? Man I still remember having wild imagination as a child... I don't think I can do that now that I'm older...

Ghibli studio man....

One of the only happy tears that happened in my life is probably when I watched Howl's Moving Castle. The sound track, the beautiful animation... I just can't

fuckcars folks trying not to be the most annoying person in the room for one second challenge (instant fail)

Look, I love good public transportation infrastructure as much as you. I always try to tell other people and especially the government how much my city urgently needs to upgrade its trains, BRTs, sidewalks, etc (thankfully though there's now multiple efforts on building MRT & LRT).

But, that doesn't mean cars are the worst invention in the history of man--you folks always say that and it's infuriating to me, it's such a narrow-minded way of seeing the world.

Take Japan for example, the train infrastructure is pretty much the best. I know that cuz I've been there, trust me, I can talk about this for hours. So good that, while we lived there, we didn't feel the need to buy a car. Their bus is pretty good too. Sidewalks, bike lanes, accessibility, etc have been taken into account when they were building their city.

But when you live in rural parts of Japan, it's inevitable--you need cars. There isn't just enough demand for public transportation. Sometimes there's a train going through but the frequency is low, and most of the time it's only single-track. Or sometimes there are buses going through, but infrequently.

And it's fine. The city is small, and there aren't enough car users to make bad traffic congestion.

Different story for big city though. I always thought that living in a big city is a form of compromise: you have a limited space of land to use, but you need to use that land for millions of people. If the city only relies on cars, it's going to be so inefficient. Too much traffic congestion, bad pollution. That's why good cities build mass transportation, or in your case, buses.

And the best cities build extremely good mass transportation so good that people doesn't feel the need of buying cars. Of course cars still exist, like the city I lived back in when I was in Japan. Or rural parts of Japan. Or perhaps people that commute between them. But there are options: cars, bikes, buses, trains, etc.

Here's my point: the availability of options are the best. It's okay if you want to ride cars, bike, bus, or trains.

Cause you'll need cars at some point in your life. And it's alright.

The grass is always greener on the other side...

I live in an SEA country, where it's hot all year. Only recently that I realized this: I don't need to deal with snow & winter. I don't need to wear a thick coat when going outside. Wanna buy something? Just go to warung only 10 meters away, only wearing sandals, short, and t-shirt.
