Hmm that’s interesting, its like, we have all those things too but they just aren’t for consumers, like the vehicle delivery stuff here is a thing but its not widely used and is typically for special occasions.

Some places are compact enough to be walkable for most things, usually in big cities but sometimes in suburbs we will have a shopping center of some sort that has all the basic needs really close but very rare for it to be in a suburb and reasonably walkable but still technically walkable. Kinds funny because I’m thinking about how perspective change a lot here, I know Columbia isn’t in the us but I’ve seen some people migrate to Columbia and basically you just walk miles to get toyour things and occasionally order online but more often people have a address somewhere else and you just pick up your things yearly in some way and cars and bikes exist over there but basically only for traveling for vacation or something of the sort far away.

I’ve literally never seen something like that wheely car box before lol, that does seem pretty fun.

Just today actually I got in our truck to bring home a washer since ours broke yesterday, its actually kinda hit or miss if someone has access to a truck or van I think here people just mostly don’t do things themselves and they just have companies fix stuff for them so a lot of us lazy Americans don’t even really need big cars and if they also worked from home they may not even need a car at all if biking and ubering can get a few things, for the longest time we would borrow my grandpas truck occasionally but now my brother and my dad have trucks.

My brother has a super beefy truck meant for hauling things and we definitely HAUL lol we use his dump trailer so often for things now its hard to image not having it, just today I helped load it up with leaves and he dumped it at the dump, we used it to move furniture from my grandmas house across states because it would have cost stupid amounts of money to pay for this service, we use it to dump our own messes and other peoples messes too and if we didn’t we would just not really have a clear avenue for getting rid of them because its big stuff that can’t be put in trash and paying for a service to do it costs money which feels like it shouldn’t but does, we can also load up the dump trailer with things to build our deck and we happen to live unusually close to a store that basically has all the things for anything basically so we just drive like 10 minutes and get all the things for projects and usually have to make multiple of these trips per project because nothing ever goes smoothly.

I guess it really just depends a lot, countryside is basically more like columbia and city is more like, well, we know cities lol and then there is steps in between depending on a city being more or less happening.

Ive always wondered how do y’all get stuff back and forth from stores? Like heavy things or items that are needed in bulk.

Here the only way to get stuff yourself is with the car or ordering online, it isn’t normal to ship basic items also with things like doordash that is becoming mor normal if buying wood to make home repairs there is no shipping it to houses or walking with it.

And remember that some of those black areas are other oses and not just only normal pixel phones, what a win for alt OSs

Is there a theydidthemath lemmy community lol I’d like to be one of those reddit posters who link communities because funny lol

Nobody mentioning fastmail…sad times

The irony here is that truly is the most efficient system for the guy holding the money, and so yes capitalism truly is the most effecient system…for capitalistic gains.

I think I am allowed to respond to sarcasm without acknowledging it, it doesn’t have to mean I don’t understand it.

Lol that is a funny autocorrect, but yeah, I’m done here

Good luck trying to understood this

No it is proof that it is true because a system that does not have the data to create an experience cannot create the experience.

I am 100% saying the body is a computer with sensory attachments I have no idea where you got the things about peripheral and central nervous system from.

Nowhere am I claiming that we can’t have shared experiences in fact I have been telling you the opposite.

What I am claiming is a quote coming from the researcher that made lucid dreaming well known from a lab setting, Stephen laberge.

I am in no way saying the only experience we have as individuals is only our own, since detecting outside information with sensory organs means we are detecting information outside of us which is coming from other people or objects for example.

I think what this is suggesting in its furthest extent is that what makes us function is far from being understood and that the reality is something we aren’t capable of understanding because it exists outside of our set of sensory input unless we can use tools to collapse information to within our range of sensory input.

Your link suggests you have no idea what point I have been making this whole time.

The point I am closest to making is the same one that the Tibetan buddhists are suggesting which is the non dual reality of experiencing things through the lens of perception.

People blind at birth dream of perceiving hearing unconstrained by sensory input so yes it is true still even for people blind from birth. I have a friend who is this case actually.

There is nothing narcissistic about it because it only proves that we are individuals with individual experience, something that everyone has been aware of for a long time, we still all operate on the substrate that is outside of our body with its brain and sensory organs.

Oof that was a bit of a let down, I was expecting surprise hand burns, not grandpa saying silly things.

Lmao I’d like to hear more about the the boiling hand thing, where can I read about this?

Dreaming is perception unconstrained by sensory input

Reality is dreaming constrained by sensory input

None of that suggests this can’t be the case though.

What I’m saying is that for example, dreams are not real, and yet they can and often are indistinguishable from reality, many even have dreams where they are aware they are dreaming and can control them the same way we can control what we do while awake.

This is only possible because we have bodily systems for producing experiences.

The simulation idea doesn’t work only because people apply it incorrectly. Our brains do in fact create our experiences with no contact to the world outside our bodies, its our sensory organs that give data to the brain to create our perception of experiencing things.

We are all partly made of simulators, but knowing this changes nothing for each of us since we can start associating ourselves with a larger force of nature that happens when we group ourselves together for changes we want to see in the world.

Aka, automate the boring stuff

I meant like it puts pressure on the us to make things so they can make things on their own

I think it could pressure the us to produce more things fully domestically
