It’s going to be difficult to make a statement about the entire world but I would disagree with the statement that OSM is worse than Google in the USA. At least not in the places I have been.

Google’s advantage has always been its imagery and routing algorithm. But in terms of the actual map information, OSM is much superior. So I have no idea what this person was talking about. You might need to ask them. The USA is a big place so it’s possible somewhere OSM has poor coverage.

Yeah I don’t disagree with the broader point but I think what you write might be erasing some people’s experiences a bit. That’s all I’m saying.

Not necessarily always the case. Some people might want more time to understand and explore their identity before their body is irreversibly changed.

I don’t see how these could possibly be bright enough to replace street lights.

Me, to my cycling homies:

Most people have no idea how many languages and dialects were exterminated as imperialism and nationalism emerged in the last few hundred years. The very concept of a national language that is the same across a broad national territory is novel. And it was created through violence.

Dreams feel different than reality. Reality feels more real.

Unless there is another deeper layer of reality that feels even more real that I have forgotten in this dream. Can’t really rule that one out.
