If only there was a way to get all of those people there and back home without a car.
  • nah, I'm sorry but stadiums are literally designed for people to be as packed as possible. especially a full stadium is incomparable especially once you take into account just how many people there are in there. in normal living (like regular size apartments or offices). If you do the math (just in terms of plain building area) for the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid, then you get to something like 4.7 m^2 per occupant (assuming staff numbers are negligible and that attendance is at capacity (which historically it's been overshot by as much as 50%)). A 5m^2 apartment is pretty small. this is maybe the size of a small bathroom or less than half the area of a single parking space in france. (less than a 3rd of a US one). Now is this enough space for people in a dense public place? yes. Is it. is it enough space to work or live in? not really. I mean it can be done but now we're looking at japanese microapartment sizes.

    point being. this is not that great a comparison even just in how it's perceived by an average onlooker.

  • What I don't like about this, is that a stadium hardly holds people at a sort of normal density. People take up a bunch more space in their day to day lives than inside a stadium. Stadiums are literally built to facilitate this.

    I'm not saying the sentiment is bad but the example is.

    Where's the lie?
  • Idk, it's not like the US can simply decide not to have a president, neither is there a third option. This is not a question of "do you like X or do you like Y?" but rather "would you rather choose X or Y?"

    Given limited choice many things stop being dealbreakers.

    Is linux actually gaming ready or is it just not for me?
  • You can actually get the terminal output from your game by setting the launch options to %command% 2>&1 > /tmp/log.txt Which will write the terminal output of the game to the file /tmp/log.txt

  • Tbh I can recommend nobara linux. For gaming especially it's often nice to have access to recent drivers / proton versions. But maybe that's not even relevant in your case.

  • Well yes but I a) ascribe to most animals a lower level of consciousness to humans and b) am very biased when it comes to that in as I don't want for anyone or anything to kill me.

  • Honestly, I've just accepted, that animals are going to suffer for me to eat them. Now I'd like it, if they could lead happy lifes before I do so. But that is sadly not the world we live in.
