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!

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!

[–] ConfidentLonely 4 points 10 months ago

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

[–] ConfidentLonely 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

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.

[–] ConfidentLonely 1 points 10 months ago

I am aware of that, but its just a meme. And most European countries have no controls. Even Germany and Switzerland have near to none controls at border crossing

Ah kam mir ja doch sehr bekannt vor! War zwar schon lange nicht mehr da... Aber irgendwie hats geklingelt (:

[–] ConfidentLonely 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Ah probably germany, even at night. No cars driving, waiting at a red light.

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

[–] ConfidentLonely 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I fully agree on what you say!

The job possibility part is exactly what may benefit me soon, I applied for a job at DB because I wanted to do something that benefits the public transport system.

 

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

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.

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!
