but why denmark though? it’s up high north and probably cold. i wanna go somewhere warmer climate.

(maybe we just draw a straight line south of denmark and settle at that location or sth? so everyone gets their preferred latitude)

not necessarily.

what shen is doing these days considering how many eggs they crack

true, accurate and relatable

can i just get a french gf please?

supply side economics

yeah same here. low-skilled players (like me) are low-skilled because we play for fun, not for competition.

whaaaaaa

neither can i

this kinda qualifies as a shitpost

nah they’re anxious as heck. you can’t do anything with them because they run away the moment you exist

well the world sucks a bit less because you’re in it :)

we love you maria, i didn’t mean to be mean …

yeah it was me, i was trying to make a lighthearted joke >:3

trying to remind people that it is really important to drink enough water …

yeah centralization would mitigate these issues, i.e. there should be a central location where we all meet up. the difficulty is figuring out where to place this center.

in fact, if you look at population maps, you can easily see that most people are concentrated on the east or west coast. this is largely already because it reduces average travel times between one person and the next. (it also helps the economy, shorter transport -> cheaper transport).

btw the reason why airplanes always travel at that speed is because it’s slightly below the sound barrier, which would make things a whole lot more difficult. speed of sound is 1200 km/h (800 mph).

yeah airplanes are typically faster above a range of 300 miles or sth

the problem with long-distance trains isn’t ideology, it’s just an issue of physics/engineering. Airplanes typically travel around 800 km/h (~ 600 mph), which means you can make the 3000 km (2000 miles) distance from seattle to new york in roughly 4 hours.

good luck trying to achieve these speeds with a train.

me, yeah, games can be fun. carrying people around used to be a favorite activity of mine. sometimes i could carry people piggy-back for 100s of meters.

huh, it’s weird, it says “4 comments” but it only displays 1?
