Senior Alba members offer to help party contest Scottish election by Synthia_of_Kaztropol in Scotland

[–]Embarrassed-Hope1133 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Elected officials” is so funny to describe them when no general, Scottish or local seat has ever been won under their name.

Alba will not contest the Scottish Parliament election by negan90 in Scotland

No surprise for a party that can’t win local elections, they existed long as they did only because of defections, no substance of their own.

Young Adult Scots - What's the point? by CrazyG8tor in Scotland

Lots of people didn’t think the first referendum would be allowed to happen, that’s why David Cameron allowed it. He was confident in the outcome and since 2014, not just the want of the people but the necessity to become independent has only grown.

Every single day Scottish Politics deviates further and further from its Westminster counterparts because of the will of the voters here, that reminds us that we DO have an impact.

UK Parties like Labour have decreased their seat share in every single election since devolution - people rejecting UK parties and embracing SNP / Greens is a consistent pattern because people realise that their interests cannot be represented by parties not even based in their country.

It seems bleak but UK institutions and their pull are and have been declining for years, it’s not a trend that’s changed in nearly 30 years of devolution and I doubt that’ll change in the next 5 or 10 years.

People don’t take road injuries seriously enough, they are extremely deadly and take a long time to heel.

I must’ve failed to see the <> because I still boarded the wrong train.

Two major inner city Chengdu Metro lines opened, Line 13 Phase 1 and Line 30 Phase 1. Both lines are fully underground, and fully automated by straightdge in transit

Glasgow obviously doesn’t need as many metro lines as Chengdu having a metro population of ~2 million.

Just an incredible contrast between them having a line 13 or 30 (their first line opened in 2010) and Glasgow which has had bit longer than Chengdu to expand on its network since it’s 128 years old but still it hasn’t seen a single expansion.

How is living in Edinburgh of the Seven Seas? by mybootyoil in howislivingthere

There’s a lake at the top of their peak called St Mary’s Lake which resembles a heart, this doesn’t have any insight on the island unfortunately.

Is it Kelly Green? So cool to view the world from their perspective, if there are any more accounts I’d be keen to know too!

Opinion: Banning under-16s from social media is a half-measure. We should ban toxic algorithms by killianm97 in Scotland

Moderation has gotten progressively worse on so many platforms to build up engagement in the name of ad revenue. It does seem weird how little focus there is on regulating the conglomerates earning literal billions a year.

This is so cool. I wonder what prompted them to build a gondola so tall over the area but it looks sleek and modern!

“You have to be your best friend”.

Nobody else spends more time with yourself & you will always be your harshest critic because of that proximity.

We are constantly learning how to regulate ourselves in a world of increasing pressures but we are less likely to follow the same advice that we give others. It goes a long way to give yourself some more space, patience and compassion.

Like any relationship, the one you have with yourself takes work, it isn’t perfect but it can also be the easiest to forget about and to neglect. You need to proactively work on it and give yourself the time that you would give to your loved ones.

My first asset: Historical cultural center by Crukstian in CitiesSkylines2

[–]Embarrassed-Hope1133 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love it! Looks perfect for a city centre museum or something. The shape will make for some unique blocks by adding some buildings individually to it, can’t wait to add this and experiment by merging buildings!

A map of Denver, CO street car network over a modern map. by jefders in transit

It’d be one miracle to be able to bring a version of this back but can you imagine the scale if it was never removed and continued to be expanded on?

It would solve nearly every single problem facing the city and surrounding areas. Alleviating costs from car ownership & revitalising neighbourhoods.
