10,000 fewer car parking spaces. Less noise. More bike lanes. That's the pledge by Amsterdam's new government for the next 4 years. in c/fuckcars@lemmy.world

They built america for cars, thats the problem.

Yeah, that is a problem. One that we can change if we want to. At least in urban, and to some extent suburban areas. It's already happening all over the country.

Closest grocery store to most people is about 5 to10 minutes away with a car…

The problem is also people that keep thinking like this. 5 minutes away in a car usually means like what, 7 minutes on a bike, 20 minutes on foot?

Just don't take the car. I know it sounds like a wild and hard to grasp idea to most Americans since we're all trained to be car-brained since birth. We have to break that mindset.

    I'm not the most social person, but wouldn't it be nice to just leave your house and interact with your neighbors and recognize people on the street and shit?

    How can I have better social interactions? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

    Just remember that most people just wanna be entertained and talk about themselves.

    I think this is a pretty negative perspective. Reframe it in your mind a little.

    People aren't looking for you to entertain them like a dancing monkey. We just enjoy new experiences, learning new things, and having novel interactions with others.

    Most people also generally don't want to just talk about themselves, but we do like when people have a genuine interest in us.

    Best resources to learn GenAI workflows for the job hunt? (lemmy.zip)
     

    I'm an experienced SSE and I'm about to hunt for a new job for the first time in a few years. I've so far been able to avoid most AI use, with the exception of testing out some code completion with copilot a couple years ago.

    Basically every job listing I'm seeing expects some level of AI adoption ("we'll set you up with either Claude or Copilot, so much choice!") so I figured it's time.

    What's the best way to get an intro to these tools? I'm curious how people are actually using them in their workflows successfully. I want to give it a fair shake and form my first-hand opinion on these things as tools.

    EDIT: I'd also like to hear from those downvoting this post.

    A social media influencer in Mexico was shot dead Tuesday night while streaming live on the site Kick, with viewers watching the event in real time, authorities said.

    Gastelum, who had nearly 600,000 followers on TikTok and was known for making comedy videos, was approached by two individuals riding a motorcycle, both wearing helmets. According to a clip from the livestream, the rider appeared to shoot a gun right at Gastelum.
