fwiw there’s https://store.steampowered.com/app/1134710/NIMBY_Rails/ which gets reasonably close to realistic if you set up things like speed limits to reflect reality, if nothing else maybe it would make the process more entertaining?

this shit is why i’m unironically trying to prepare myself for the day that i just can’t fucking bear to use computers any more, like i’m trying to slowly wean myself off being a “tech guy” and into learning to use a sewing machine and just being happy picking mushrooms in the forest and going to the gym…

from what i’ve gathered i’d say china is basically as good as most developed countries, with the quirk that it has a fucking bonkers huge population and unlike a lot of the other high-population-density countries the population is really concentrated in the cities rather than the whole country just being a single continous shanty town.
And as a result of both the absolute size of the population, and the fact that they live in high-density and quite new cities (and a lot of infrastucture in general is basically from the past 100 years if even that), it means that you get things like an extensive high speed train network and whatnot.

So it’s like if france had 12 Parises and a fairly repressive government. Though it should be noted that chinese politics seems significantly less terrible on a local level, and at this point the rest of the world has started catching up on the whole dystopian government thing…

i’m getting a bit pudgy so who knows what my belt buckle might do when i’m forced to shimmy past the car

fundamentally the answer is “someone has to implement it”

I don’t think the other answers here are tremendously sensible, yeah sure you can’t technically literally move accounts complete with posts and everything, but like come on people it’s absolutely technically feasible to have a migration feature that is mostly satisfactory… The way mastodon does it is a hell of a lot better than nothing.

i think we should heavily consider decoy parking garages that are just a bottomless pit on the inside, digging the pits will also provide an infinite amount of jobs
