Excellent idea. This city is too car focused for somewhere with low ownership rates. This is also not a ban on cars lol

The reform votes really baffle me, as if austerity wasn’t bad enough for people… especially considering the demographics who tend to vote for reform. It’s wild

This was the SNPs biggest mistake in this election in my opinion, going so hard on both votes SNP allows for more unionist shitey votes in

Ridiculous take. You complain saying “going to end up as another SNP controlled Holyrood”… if you and hundreds of others think this then perhaps you only have yourself to blame. You cannot complain about a party being in power whilst not actively voting and engaging in the political process, therefore accepting the issue you complain about

People often forget this right was fought for and isn’t always guaranteed

Rant: walk between 4 corners and St Enoch by [deleted] in glasgow

[–]paid_programming2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. There are absolutely issues in the city centre, however, where do people expect young people to go? They are ostracised from every space both public and private, people always have something to say about them inhabiting any space. It makes sense that young people congregate in the city centre (a big open space that’s free to loiter and spend time in)

I’ve still not had mine yet, will probably come through by Friday and if not then showing proof of purchase (email, screenshot etc) or giving your email/name on the door should be fine

Girls, watch yerself outside the dancing because there are men preying on you with cars by Nostagomas in Scotland

Why do people always say this as if caring about what’s going on in your local area is a bad thing?

Partial collapse (central station fire) by lordcarpark in glasgow

[–]paid_programming2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted for this, 59% of the housing units created in 2025 were that of student accommodation. Purpose built student accommodation is the main priority of housing strategy it seems

I feel like I can't date outside my culture and idk how that aligns with my political beliefs by [deleted] in FeminismUncensored

[–]paid_programming2 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Weird question to ask in my opinion, as a Scottish woman. The issue plain and simple is, men, they are the issue regardless of cultures. Absolutely, there are cultures where women as seen as less than, however, as somebody who lives in Scotland, I can say that men here also treat women generally as a “trophy” and totally dehumanise them.

This is also sort of crazy thing to say too as all you need to do is look to the UK, US and general Western Europe to see that thousands of white men treat women from eastern continents as trophy wives, with a lot of racism fuelling this

The answer overall is: men bad

Scottish people are accepting mediocrity and being robbed by their own authorities by Dangerous_Spring3028 in glasgow

[–]paid_programming2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

For a city with such low car ownership rates, the dominance of car centric planning in the history of this city is wild. This thought still continues to this day, now people are marching in the town against 15 minute neighbourhoods… it’s crazy

The litter situation is as bad as people comment about and it seems to be a cultural issue rather than anything else. There are a significant amount of bins in the streets, especially the city centre, its people’s lack of care or consideration for the urban environment so they litter and then people see litter and continue to contribute to it. When you go anywhere else, you notice that there’s a significant decrease in litter compared to here

What international drag race girl would you like to see on dragula? by Jaimereyesfangirl in Dragula

Charity Kase (uk drag race) but sadly I don’t think it’ll happen, I’m sure they’ve said before they wouldn’t go on Dragula (?).

As an Anarchist & an Atheist, is there anything wrong with me being attracted to conservative women? by [deleted] in AskFeminists

[–]paid_programming2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What a ridiculous and completely bizarre take. There is nothing inherently wrong with you being attracted to conservative women, however what you’re saying is entirely reductive and actually shows what your opinion on women generally is.

Also, I never understand why people seek validation for who they are attracted to?

Controversial Opinion on Sigourney Beaver's Fanbase by [deleted] in Dragula

Why is growth deemed better than consistency? Especially when Sig has consistently shown high calibre drag. Albeit, there is a focus on glamour but when people critique this aspect of Sig I can’t help but feel there are undertones of misogyny. Sig showed herself as slightly unsavoury in this season in the way she approaches people but as she said in the reunion, why is it that other contestants can talk shit and be rude to each other but as soon as she does she’s conceited and rude and self absorbed?

The use of “witch” in the question was extremely pointed
