From the experience of the Czech republic:
Most of the trains are run by private companies on behalf of the regional governments (chosen in a public competition). This has increased the quality of trains, while price (and, sadly, timetables) remains regulated by the region.
On the major lines, private companies operate also on their own, and even though the last-minute-in-rush-hour ticket are expensive, you can travel cheaply if you book it in advance and in less used hours.
(Also, until a year ago, one of the companies found a way how to misuse the governments' discounts, making tickets for students&seniors practically costless/paid by state, but that's another story.)

There Are many ecosystems that hardly depend on human activity. Fields And cities, but also fragile places as orchid maedows.
In some parts of world (Europe definitelly), these ecosystems evolved right after the end of the last ice age, there was no interregnum of "Wild forests" (with this part I'm not so sure, but if it weren't true, It doesn't affect the main argument).
Without humans, these ecosystems would rapidly get destroyed by bushes And forests, part of the manifold world would have gone.

And yes, I aknowledge that were destroing these ecosystems too, by industrialized agronomy. And I understand the feeling nature=forests without human disturbing, but it's simply not the whole picture.

Also changing your name when you're adult should be normalized - just so, without ressons.

Are you speaking about that english, which has the same word for "you" and, ehm "you"?

How do they usually react? Or any other details you would like to share? And what is ccl?

Also it inflates the meaning of the question. It took me quite a lot of time to realize that my friends ask me how I am and really want to know it.

(I'm not autistic fyi.)

I study one language at a course, so I spend ~2 hours a week with it,
second language in a free time, so I spend ~2 hours a month with it. (This is a bit an exaggeration, but I really strugle with time-management and these things.)

I think that the amount of time I give to the course-language is enough to slowly get into it, as it's regular and quality.

You seem to be mixing up your unhappyness of e-cyclist riding on the sidewalks and oppinion about healthy benefits of a normal bicycle.

Aso for the second, consider that riding an e-bicycle is still healthier than not riding at all. (Especially at 45 mph = 70 kmph. The electric support is restricted up to 25 kmph. Are your shure about that 45 mph?)

Befriend both the duck and the horses and fight the wizard who swapped their sizes.

1. Give the duck a flamethrower into her beacon. Now, she looks like like a real dragon and can destroy the wizrad's castle.
2. Tell the wizard you are a certified dragon-fighter, and he should hire you instead of getting rid of the dragon (duck) himself. Give him some side task (bring you water (without magic, as dragons are resiliant to magic)) to keep him budy.
3. Meanwhile the horses would invade the castle and eat all his books and equipment.

Now, the wizard has no castle, no grimoirs and no money (paid it to you to "fight" the duck). You won.

1. Find your local facebook group. (Or some alternative to this.)
2. Make a group chat with description like "let's go for a walk together time to time, to make new friendships". Hopefully a lot of people shall join the group, most of them as lurkers.
3. Write there st like "Let's go for a short walk this evening, start at [time, place]". Hopefully somebody shall come and they will be a cool person.

Somebody did this a few months ago in my student dorms' group. Since then, we've been meeting ~1 a week. Allways a bit different group, everyone knows that everyone is here to make friendships, so the ices are broken. The group tends to be small-ish, as it's called usually few hours in advance. The feeling is very good. And I have one person from there, with who we're getting to be good friends.
