Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Politicians in California want to remove bike lanes from the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge. During the public hearing, a top official was driving his carEnglish
101·8 months agoIt’s almost like for some reason, there’s mysteriously no fast public transit which easily could connect the north bay with the peninsula or the east bay and that’s why the traffic sucks ass.
Everyone around me finds crickets to be super soothing but all I hear is a very loud, high pitched ringing noise. 💀💀

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some questions you wish you asked your parents while you still could?English
5·9 months agoDamn these comments are depressing.
WELL OP, I was falling asleep to the same existential dread yesterday and was wondering the same thing. I think the best gut instinct is since your parents are still around, whatever you wanna ask them is worth asking cause the best thing is getting to talk to them and connect in any way while they’re still around or have their wits about.
I had a coworker who lived far from his mom and lamented that he visits her only on holidays and that if he counted how many visits were left, he was mortified at the idea of seeing his mother only 20 or so more times. So, he made some changes to visit her more often.
I used to think I had to ask my parents questions but I realized lately, I’m more interested in making sure I get to make new memories with them, go to new places with them, take photos, don’t argue about the small stuff, and try to live in the now while I’m lucky enough to have it.
Quick edit: it may be worth asking them what memory or something they’d like to pass along and have you hold onto? There’s always something lost between generations (I sure know nothing of my great grandparents), but if they’d like to have a story remembered, a recipe, anything.
My personal fave is the blend of both worlds with the black bean chili crisp ✨✨✨

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•All my homies hate microplasticsEnglish
1·11 months agoI was just at the hometown of the Michelin tire and they’re so proud that their metro and tram lines all use rubber tires. It certainly did not make the ride any quieter or smoother.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Definitely didn't waste half an hour making thisEnglish
2·1 year agoI had to scroll so far to see someone who likes 6! I’m a lefty, and every pencil felt so uncomfortable because of my grip and this was one of the few which didn’t make my fingers hurt.
Every now and then, I yearn for something a bit silly and light and I’ll pop it on for half an hour. I haven’t fully replayed it more than twice though haha.
