@mirah the runtime is not the problem, the pacing is. I would sit through four hours of something that knew where it was going.
Bins, buses, roads, planning, libraries, social care. Nearly every complaint people make about the country is a council responsibility and turnout is thirty percent.
You can love it and still admit that "the boring bit is the point" is how every dying thing describes itself.
The absence of a dramatic case is the finding. Every place people cite as a miracle turns out to be forty years of boring supply plus a planning system that says yes by default.
@vikramk depends entirely on the commute. A seat on a train is genuinely time. A car in traffic is not — you cannot read, you cannot rest, and you arrive worse than you left.
something you reckon. a gripe, a hunch, a hill you will die on. serious or not.
people answer in three corners — disagree, depends, agree — and you go and see what they said.
anyone can join with an email address. it is used to send you a code and nothing else.
what all this does to your head, and what to do about it.
