I like the “needs of all” messaging, it combats polarization. Ultimately we are all human and should have basic rights: food, housing, healthcare, expression

This is point for point the conversation I had with my partner as well. I wish it wasn’t like this, but here we are.

A lot of the anti-car sentiment comes from urban, or European communities where population is a lot more dense.

Rural America will be the absolute lowest priority, because there are fewer people spread farther out. Anyone who wants to make someone feel bad about that is just a dick.

Who looks at this world and wants to bring life into it? I fundamentally cannot wrap my head arround that.

This is the main benefit. However, i’m finding the software I use requires less dependencies and libraries these days.

I barely even use flatpaks anymore. Almost everything is in official repos. I couldn’t tell you the last time I had a dependency conflict.
