no no no, its not a critique specifically of you. Native english speakers do this all the time. And I'm sure its inevitable that "comparatively" will make that transition too.

I'm interested: is there a german word to replace "vergleichsweise " to more explicitly mean "comparison"?

True, true...

Aside: Back in my day, we could use the term "relatively" to mean "in relation to" some other thing. Over time it became "in relation to the average thing" instead of a specific thing. Now it just means "a little bit"/"sort of". Now people use "comparatively" to convey what "relatively" used to mean. Except... you just now seem to be making that same "relatively" transition with the word "comparatively". I just find language interesting, and wonder what the next "relatively" will be once that meaning has been lost even to "comparatively".

There are 2 types of people, the 2/3 year people, and the 20-life people. 10 is a lot to the 2/3 year people.. but not to the others

That’s how we treat it in America….

Thanks for the heads up on the coy fish, they’re a great watch.

I just hope one of them doesn’t crash, causing a lithium fire.

So you’ve used TS and wouldn’t opt to kill it?!

Tbh I’ve only used JS and don’t know how different JS and TS are outside the typing.

I highly highly highly doubt that will ever happen. I don’t see how you could achieve such a thing without a fundamental rewrite of Lemmy itself. Or the other option is you basically have a bot going around replicating everything you do, subjecting everyone to your echo. And it’d still not be a perfect sync, because people could only reply to one of the comments/posts

With a less car-centric design, you probably wouldn't have to live so far from work and there'd be more space and money for improved public transit efficiency. Hypothetically speaking... of course this will never actually happen. We'll just keep making larger and larger roads, spreading out farther and farther, and requiring more people to drive further, increasing the demand for more larger roads. But of course certain kinds of work would never be put in the middle of a city, and would be less efficient to get to as a result.

In my city, though, a nice possible medium is bike + transit. Usually this enables much more efficient use of public transit. Instead of Walk - wait - bus - wait - bus - walk its more like ride - wait - bus - ride. Cutting out that transfer and increasing the speed of getting to and from the transit line makes for much more efficient mobility, even on moderate length trips.

I think that logic could work, if the other guy was also straight.

Even if it’s a link to a tool, not a specific piece of content?

Bikeable cities, e-bikes, public transit, and of these or combinations really should be enough for people to get around a city.
