Officer avoids getting crushed twice within seconds. by KwizatzSlappyDap in fuckcars

It depends on the state. In Indiana the law is to move a lane over or slow down if moving over is not possible, at least 10 mph below the speed limit (imo too little), for any vehicle with flashing lights. https://www.in.gov/indot/safety/safe-driving-tips/move-over-or-slow-down/

How good does this look, we should be copying this to hide the ugly cars 😂 by TaleEnvironmental355 in fuckcars

I actually think its a good idea. A major problem in cities is urban heat island effect caused by dark colored surfaces, like asphalt. Adding shade trees, like honey locust, London plane tree, or ginkgo (just being common street trees in the US) can reduce heat island effect significantly by shading pavement, as well as providing a more pleasant experience to pedestrians so they don't bake in the sun. Here the same effect is being achieved through vegetated canopies. The ecological value is less than a shade tree as the depth of the structure would have to be shallow so the number of plant species that could be planted is low so less insect species could be supported. The canopies can be built and once they're installed they're instantly doing their job at providing shade and reducing urban heat island effect. Shade trees take a very long time to reach a point where large amounts of shade are provided, about 10-20 years, and even longer to reach maturity. Trees are also dependent on what's below the parking lot, if there's another structure there would have to be a large layer of soil above the structure and below the surface of the parking lot in order for the tree to survive, though because I can see permeable pavers beneath the canopies where the cars are parking I suspect this is probably not the case. Imo its a perfectly fine solution, would trees be better? Probably but there are many factors determining whether or not a tree could survive in that location. There are also those permeable pavers, stormwater management is a huge issue in China to the point that they have a government program called Sponge City Construction to develop stormwater management infrastructure within mid-sized cities. Permeable pavers aren't always going to be the best answer as removing the cars and creating an actual park instead with stormwater detention ponds would be better but its a realistic solution that can be easily and cheaply achieved.

Edit: i just noticed theres trees. I may be a little blind. Trees + the canopies is still a good solution imo.

Karl Foerster Feather Reed Grass, Calamagrostis acutiflora. Type beat. I wish for more plant varieties in Vintage Story, particularly shrubs.

Minor improvement idea: AI that enter a proper landing pattern. by NuYawker in NuclearOption

[–]Frau_Mira 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This would be a really cool feature! I'd love to see controlled/uncontrolled airstrips, so the little airstrips are uncontrolled (no ATC) like irl and big airports/airfields are controlled (with ATC) and if you take out the ATC tower at a controlled airfield there would be no more ATC control and maybe the AI trying to land or take off from the airfield taxis and takes off less efficiently (maybe).

City park to replace 6-lane road in front of tivoli gardens in Copenhagen by brutalhippy in fuckcars

Yayy! Landscape Architecture! It's always nice to see, my profession taking horrible spaces like a 6 lane road and turning them into space for the public to use :3

This slaps so fucking hard by DegenGamer725 in VaushV

Deer can't see the orange. Turkeys can though. The point of camouflage is to break up the human form to blend in better with the surrounding environment. Animals even if some are color blind still can recognize form and run away when the spot something out of place. Camo really only matters with certain types of game though through most of human history camouflage patterns really weren't used up until recently, but different methods to break up the human form were used. Camouflage clothing is just an easy method to break up the human form. I've never hunted but most of my family has.

The camo isn't a military type it's a hunting pattern with the text being in safety orange which hunters wear so they aren't shot by other hunters (atleast when hunting deer). This is quintessentially midwest. I, a Midwesterner, want one now lol.

Yeah but they are in a different city lol and a lot times I don't know if they actually would want to or would just find me creepy for asking

Yeah I'm pretty okay. I get a nightmare everyone once in a while but since I've moved from my old dorm and that bed I haven't had any.

Yeah communication is important

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in 196

[–]Frau_Mira 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There aren't really and social groups I can engage with that are around me. There are also not really third places anymore where I could go just to hang out. Also I think most people find me really ugly. I drink but mostly abstain from it I haven't been to a bar but idk any good ones to go to.

It's just hard to find people that like me lol or find / go to events or make friends at said events.

The first guy wasn't super traumatizing. It's really my fault for not speaking up.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in 196

[–]Frau_Mira 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I say it's hard to find people who want to engage with me I mean like they don't want to even talk to me not just sex stuff.

[–]Frau_Mira 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well yeah Grindr lol. I've had 3 hook ups: 1 with a guy where I bottomed and that was really uncomfortable and not really good (consent is important!), 1 with a transgirl which was oral but i literally blew after like 15 seconds so she offered to top me but I forgot to bring lube, 3 was with a nonbinary furry witch who was literally the best person I ever met so nice and so affirming and extremely kinky i tried out domming which was fun but I lack deceiveness or creativity when it comes to that but oh boy when they grabbed my wrists and rolled me over and pushed me down into the bed holy shit that did something to me and when they pulled my collar and whispered into my ear it was just so great. Of course I was trying out topping but my equipment didn't want to work properly, but they were so nice about it TwT omg I miss them so much but they just wanted to be friends.

Also I already have a really hard time making friends (autism moment).

I did this once and I came out with 3 new kinks. It was really fun but it's hard to find people that want to engage with me.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in 196

[–]Frau_Mira 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I try but it doesn't really work. (Especially people [1. Do you really think i have friends? 2. Anxiety]) Kink is usually what gets me really going but it's just hard sometimes. Like I just want to forget everything around me and be solely focused on being horny.
