It's insane how beautiful life can be
21d 5h ago in fuckcars from programming.devI just don't get the appeal. I'd rather read a book, scroll Mastodon or look at the scenery while traveling than have to focus on the road.
I don't think Americans realize how many hours of their lives get wasted just so they don't have to sit next to strangers.
Americans would rather sit in a car for an hour than next to a stranger for ten minutes.

I think it's over-saturation. In person it's very bright with more muted colors, as in my pic.
The Morgan Library, NYC [OC]
1mon 1d ago in pics from media.mstdn.socialI guess most of its fans know it for its collection rather than its museum. From the wikipedia page:
The Morgan Library & Museum has long contained a collection of illuminated manuscripts,[230] which date from the sixth to sixteenth centuries.[118][146][231] As early as 1923, the Morgan Library counted 560 illuminated manuscripts in its collection,[232] a number that had grown to over 1,100 by the 21st century.[231]

1mon 12d ago in workreform from lemmy.radioRepublicans weren't committing genocide in 2024 -Democrats were.
Just saying, when you support genocide, some people will take a stand, and you won't always like how they do it.
. . . not to mention lying about it, calling opponents of genocide antisemites . . .
I'm sorry if you still can't see how some people would look at all of that and realize that both sides want them dead.
