>American progressives hate suburbs and want "walkable cities", while conservatives defend their McMansions
Pretty much. Speaking as a lifelong suburbanite, I see cities as filthy crime filled hellholes and would squat in the woods before living in one. Generally speaking, people who can afford to leave cities do which leaves them populated by poorer demographics. This, ofc, makes cities a political hot button. It's also why mass transit is controversial. Everyone in the suburbs has a car and busses are for cityfolk.

Thought about putting some cash into bonds or such while interest is still high as well to be fair, I just have no clue how they work.
I know that bond ETFs are garbage, as they continously rotate their bond holdings, so they loose value or whatever during a dovish environment... I guess?
I'd like to buy some US 10yr bond just via my broker and hold them until maturity, if that would be possible.

Or it will shape a new one. Not sure if it will be better, but I can't see it not happening.

From my field studies I might state the theorem that men are better at everything than women, even at being a woman.

Ad AI gf:
Should we one day actually establish strong AGI, I consider it the cumulative brain child of all of humanity and a worthy heir of our dominance to spread across the whole galaxy, as such an endeavor is probably far out of our mortal reach.
As such we shall embrace AI gf, as one day part of it may become part of said God AI and with it a part of ourself.

> not sure if it will be better
What are you talking about, human history is the history of continuous improvements! With every new technolgoy, things become better and better! We destroyed the planet so the lower 80% can slave away in foxconn-factories so first-world-leftshits can have macbooks and nike socks to come in, and everyone is as happy as can be!

> hurr my macbook is insignificant, and it's meaningless that it is to consumerism what the cross is to christianity, because symbols are meaningless, that's why i dress in the leftshit-uniform

> durr i only participate in society to a certain degree, so i'm not the problem
> the true problem are all the people richer than me who consume more than i do, like i would, if it would just rain money straight into my pockets, which is why we need to eat the rich, so i (and people poorer than me, maybe) can consume more
ololo

To keep it on topic: the biggest consoooomers are, of course, not reddit-cucks with anime-figurines, but women. The average weeaboo's consumption is limited by shelf space, the average woman's consumption is limited by garbage-can space, and men were dumb enough to set up societies where men empty garbage cans weekly, so women can consume one garbage can full of crap every week. (But women are opressed, not the men who take away there garbage.)

>look i bought a new temu sweater i buy three a week that makes me a well-dressed person and very valuable as a human bean and i only wash them once before throwing them away, and i only wear them for four hours before washing, because i'm very clean and cleanliness is next to godliness

t. typical woman

And this, by the way, is why clothing is so low-quality. Clothes can suck to the max, because most clothes purchases are controlled by women, and women consider it a cardinal sin to be seen in the same piece twice, so disposable clothes are right-sized for the market. Don't need no coats that will last for one or two decades, they are already overbuild and under-engineered when they last one entire season.

Reading close to ahistorical.

When Gorbachev took power in 1985, the shortcomings of the deficit-economies had long become blatantly obvious to their inmates. Polish martial law had come and gone, it had ended with concessions, not with a Warsaw pact invasion. As we have known since 2009, Jaruzelski had practically begged Kulikov. But Brezhnev-doctrine was over.

The German language has to be adapted.
Take the words constant and instant, in German you'd say "konstant" and "instantan", which is very inconsequential.
So I'd suggest we adapt "konstant" into "konstantan" to streamline this whole sequence of adjectives.
Sounds more intellectual and will allow for at least 10 years of "Uhm, ackshually, it's "konstantan" now." as well.

See, it's "momentan" as well, hence it should be "konstantan".

I've always had the idea in the back of my mind of visiting Swiss communes as if they were entities in themselves, and carefully documenting the visit.
I recently found some friends crazy enough to come along! I didn't want to flood the existing IWO thread, so I decided to make my own containment thread.


The rules :
-at each outing, the commune of the day will be drawn from this wikipedia list using a random number generator -> https://fr.wikipedia.org/[...]ommunes_du_canton_de_Vaud
-the designated commune cannot be refused under ANY circumstances
-during the visit, it is forbidden to leave the boundaries of the commune, otherwise the visit will stop
-you can't decide to continue visiting neighboring communes after the fact without having rerolled for a new and completely random commune
-if possible, only consume goods purchased within the commune during the visit
-draw up an exploration report when the commune is drawn, and complete it with photos and anecdotes at the end of the visit.
-Most of the visit are going to be made in the canton of Vaud
-Each time ther's a 20 percent chance that we're going to visit another entirely diffrent welsch canton randomely chosen: Geneva, Neuvchâtel, Fribourg, Valais, Jura or Bern.
-After the random canton have been selectionned, the commune will be chosen randomly using the same rules.

We're going to have a lot of fun!

You've been heard, tomorrow is free and visiting more of Switzerland is in my bingo. Thus I decided to expand my usual cantonal field and pick a random comune anywhere in my country.

It'll be Arosa in Graubunden! Graubunden is a weird canton. It was its own confederacy of three mountainous microstates called leagues:the Grey League, the League of the Ten Jurisdictions and the League of God's house https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Leagues.
Arosa itself seems to be one of those ski resort communes of the beginning of modern tourism history at the start of the XXth century. The most intresting buildings will most probably be historical hotels. I also noticed I missed the %Arosa Gay ski week% by only a few days.

Exciting destination!
>tomorrow is free
In my mental map, Graubünden is the least accessible canton from western Switzerland on account of multiple hills in between, so you'd need a whole day just to get there and another whole day just to return.

Ah, looking at a real map and Wikipedia, it looks like you will pass through Zürich and the almost 4 km Kerenzerbergtunnel. It says the watershed near Sargans is "barely noticeable" where my mental map had placed the trip's most insurmountable hills.
Or you could take the slower but probably more picturesque southern route passing through Brig and Andermatt instead of Zürich.

The only place made harder to set by topography would be Ticino I think, you are right. Though Arosa is not that hard to get to by train. It’s directly connected to the main valley of Graubunden.
