I think the commenter means “what is this place?”. It was my first thought too. Like, what is it for? I am a dad, I have 2 kids - is it for me? Or is it for someone or something else?

The smartass in me wants to ask if I can answer your question. More helpfully, I sometimes answer questions on here (Lemmy in general) because I think I can contribute to a discussion, and the more people that contribute, the better the experience for everyone (within reason).

As to your specific question, I’m not from the US but I guess there’s probably not very many republican voters on here - did you expect there to be?

Yep I have too many (although I don’t think I’m at 17), in order of time spent wearing:

Smart black work shoes Slippers Crossover walking shoe/trainers Casual trainers Gym trainers Outdoor working shoes Golf shoes Proper hiking boots Wellies Indoor football shoes Astro football shoes

I go through the work shoes probably 1 pair every 2 years or so. Slippers last maybe 12 months max, although I do wear them for jobs around the house. Everything else just lasts until it falls apart and gets replaced.

I think it’s fair to say that I prioritise function over form - maybe this is the wrong forum for me, but you did ask the question!

Well yes - I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that legislation is our best hope here. Not in my country, mind you, where I guarantee you that all we will get is lip-service to privacy, data protection, etc.

Hey it looks like some other guy didn’t help you much. I’m not going to help much either but I’d imagine that if your model has any kind of smart infotainment type of thing then it’s probably being tracked. I mean, from a business perspective, why wouldn’t you? It’d be lovely to have systems that allow you to navigate, take photos, listen to music, contact friends…without spying on you. Sadly, I don’t think companies see such things as being in their interests.

If you do find a list anywhere, I’d be interested to know. I don’t have a VW - just a petrol ford focus, but I imagine that my data is being collected in much the same way as this.

Could you elaborate on this comment? Seems like the person before you went to a mostly black school/college and so has experienced being part of a segregated society/community. Are there areas that are less segregated or not at all? For context I am from the UK, where we have some integration but still quite high levels of segregation; I live in the southeast, in an area which is over 95pc white British, but there are other areas with much higher populations of other races/nationalities (Bradford, in the north midlands, is around 25pc Pakistani, and only a little over 50pc white British).

Did you/do you live in an area that isn’t or doesn’t feel segregated?

As someone else said, there are some difficult ones that require climbing gear (which reminds me of playing various MMOs) - one in my town is about 15m up a large tree!

No idea.

It’s a lovely name! What I really want to know is, is it still pronounced like “Croatia”? In my mind you could kind of do it like “Hro-vaisha” maybe? Maybe someone who knows tha answer will show up!

Pretty sure it is actually just the longest international border in the world. I guess Chile and Argentina might be close, maybe Russia and somewhere, but USA Canada I reckon is the longest.
