  • I visited a few larger european cities and I got to admit that I don’t feel the same.

    All but a few I saw were changed to accommodate car traffic to a high or extreme level and only after recent decades there is some incentive to shrink the area that is dedicated to motorized traffic and parking zones.

    Being from germany my perception of how hostile cities can be towards pedestrians might be skewed compared to american experiences.

    The dutch way off a professionally thought out and highly efficent pathway for cyclists and extended pedestrian zones comes to mind as well as a plan to redesign Paris as a pedestrian tourist powerhouse as it struggles with perceived pollution, noise and heat thus diminishing its touristic visits.

    Like you said, Paris was build before cars were widespread and could return to a modern resemblance of it’s old self. I feel there is immense touristic potential in catering this idea creating pilot projects for hundreds of metropolitan areas where old infrastructure is maintained in presentable fashion.

    So I feel that there are good reasons to reevaluate how we want to change our older densely build areas to find a good balance, ensuring that local population has ways of living their everyday live in timesaving and fulfilling manner but also creating spaces that are worthwhile, relaxing to stay in.

    Also this sends a message that may motivate others to stand up against the system.

    I would believe that in those spheres of power they would have booked a hitman with better hardware and training. His pistol could not properly cycle and he took quite long between shots. Also he had the possibility to move up to the guy and shoot him in the back of the head to save some time but preferred to shot multiple into his back from further away. For me it seems more likely it was an act of Vigilantism.

    It happened in France for example. Now it would not be public killings by guillotine of course but multiple independent attacks by ied/gun/fpv against guys like that ceo are surely thinkable.

    I’m so happy I don’t give a fuck about looking cool or having nice effects in a game.

    The only one I ever spend more bucks than I had to is Path of Exile. And the supporter packs give you your whole worth of money spend as premium currency plus you get the usual skins, emotes and tracking tools.

    I totally feel that I’m okay with buying functional stuff like inventory space if the system itself feels fair.

    In 10 years and around 5000h (only game I play except tarkov for a while) in I spend 122€ so a mount for 90 bucks seems crazy.
