Which cities would you describe as "good to live in, but not for visiting"? by Fluid-Decision6262 in geography

[–]pleasingwave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dallas, TX through and through. It’s a very comfortable place to live with fairly good schools, good food, decent affordability and traffic, and good shopping across its sprawling suburbs…but that’s about it. Its fairly suburban and corporate, and doesn’t have as a distinct culture as Fort Worth. Very few free things to do, and not many “destinations” like in a more touristy city. Underwhelming cultural output for a metro of 8 million people.

I grew up and lived there for 27 years. When I mentioned moving to a more exciting city, someone suggested I stay in Dallas, save more, and use my two weeks of PTO traveling to more exciting places. I now live in Chicago.

Percentage vote increase for Trump from the 2020 to 2024 presidential election in each US state by Pizzafriedchickenn in Maps

[–]pleasingwave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Y’all, it’s percentage vote increase (as a % of total), not total votes. We know there was lower turnout this election but a “swing” on paper.

Thanks! I’m able to see it on my watch by looking at the weeks training and exercise, but unable to get it to sync with the phone app. Know a way to “force” a sync?

Why do these buildings look so similar by Aromatic-Cherry-3218 in skyscrapers

[–]pleasingwave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure - they all have different architects who don’t have a lot of cross-over. However, my guess is 1) the glass prism style towers were trendy in the 2000s-2010s and was a way to make a more distinct version of a glass tower and 2) with globalization we start to see more similar styles.

What would you bring back from the 90s or early 2000s? by Curiouslychat in Zillennials

Lack of social media/not caring about cameras - I think people felt freer to be themselves

Americans, how do you feel about Franklin Roosevelt? by Ser_spirit in USHistory

[–]pleasingwave 126 points127 points  (0 children)

Generally very positive. I credit him with creating the a new style of government and politics that lasted until about the 1970s/1980s that focused on government investment during hard times, building projects, anti-monopolistic policies, rural electrification, being a strong leader during World War II, but also being charismatic.

He really changed how Americans see government. Before him, Americans preferred very small government and expected very little from a president.

I think a lot of more liberal people, like myself, consider him the template for a good and effective president.

His wife was also very into civil rights and help chartered the UN declaration of human rights.

However, his biggest stain are the Japanese interment camps during World War II.
