kater posted:so not having experienced the whole subway train whatever commute what is the travel time for that stuff? cuz like I unno someone says they have an hours long bus rides and it’s like well it so wildly varies based on distance, density, and are you including time out the door walking/biking to a station/stop, including average waiting for a train/bus, walking from station to destination vs getting out the door hopping right into your suv and driving to endpoint? busses are terrible and most inter-city busses a 45-minute ride to go ~10 miles is common in relatively light-moderate trafficked suburban-med city mix; not including wait or walk times which wait can sometimes be unreliable up to 15-minutes for 1-direction; probably about 8-minute variability and delays each is an average (and still not including walk/bike times) pushing that fairly close to the hour mark. the same 10-mile ride is usually 15 minutes or so when you can just drive on the freeway. for dedicated trains, going about 15 miles from dense outer city into another dense city (i.e. san francisco), the station to station time is about 35-minutes, not including wait time for a train which can be around 5-minutes each way. walking to/from station can be 15-minutes each way but varies so it's not too fair to count it. driving this by car can be as low as ~18 minutes at night with no traffic to 1.5 hours (or more) during regular daylight driving hours with normal awful traffic all the time -- so it's overall faster to train or at least on parity. taking the same route by bus is a little longer, probably around 50-minutes from stop-to-stop but even longer variability and delays in busses usually pushing that over an hour.' tldr: 1-hr long bus rides vs 15-20 minute drives are fairly common in like typical suburban midwestern-type settings. busses can narrowly win out or on par with driving in heavy-commuter traffic areas where they're given special rights. trains are usually a good portion faster during commute but usually slower if there's no traffic. All not including variable walk/bike time-to-from stop/station which the calculus also changes but walking/biking is good for you so idk how you want to count that. Also not counting is what happens if it just doesnt show up or you miss it which basically can throw on another half hour. Xaris has issued a correction as of 20:44 on Nov 3, 2021 |

I turned a 1.5 hr commute, that included ~2 miles of walking, one train, and one bus into a 25 minute commute requiring no walking and one car by... buying a car. Edit: I don't live in the suburbs.

Where everything was exactly how it seemed. No concerns about the world getting warmer. People thought that they were just being rewarded, for treating others as they'd like to be treated, for obeying stop-signs and curing diseases, for mailing letters with the address of the sender. Now we can swim any day in November.

i've experienced a whole lot of different commutes using mass transit and i think the biggest factor whether they're tolerable or not for me is whether i have to switch bus/train. if i don't have to, then i'm fine with getting 45 minutes of uninterrupted reading each way i'll take my current commute of 0 minutes over anything else though, although my 20 minutes direct subway trip to the office isn't that bad all things considered

City walk, 3pm start and 11pm release. A brisk walk in lively city to get you ready for the day and a sleeping city to stroll through, barely a soul in sight. It was bliss.

Once upon a time, I commuted by bike 50 minutes each way in Oregon winters to sand and paint shutters all day. Listened to ASOT religiously during my commutes and it was honestly some of the most pleasurable times I've ever had during a typical work week now I live close to work like some kinda wise guy Jokerpilled Drudge has issued a correction as of 00:54 on Nov 4, 2021 |

welp, i go in for my vasectomy tomorrow, wish me luck everyone! i just wanna add tho, my inner monologue is one sneaky, cowardly motherfucker these past few days "just cancel it and be really careful from now on!" "microplastics will take care of it eventually anyway, just relax bro" "take a break from the ladies and experiment with dudes for a while, could be fun!" "become a father. have 7 kids like your dad"

IMO the worst part about having a vasectomy was that a time traveller from the future did not in fact appear at the last second to beg me to reconsider because my unborn child would someday save the world. The doctor did tell me that I did a very good job shaving my balls though

Good luck! Wait! You should check to see if they're looking for clinical trial subjects for that contraceptive testicle bath device. That way, if something goes "wrong", you got paid to get sterilized.

kater posted:so not having experienced the whole subway train whatever commute what is the travel time for that stuff? cuz like I unno someone says they have an hours long bus rides and it’s like well It varies a lot based on how good your transit system is. When I lived in new Westminster I could get to the train station by bus and to work in Vancouver in 30 mins flat, driving was the same if traffic was light and biking was about the same. But this was an effecient rail system with many separate bus lanes In a place like Orlando or even Tallahassee circa early 2000s it was so dire that no one but the most desperate people ever took the bus. I remember an old lady who was one of our Bernie Sanders volunteers taking the bus to go door knocking and when it was time to go home the bus just never came to pick her up so she waited hours in the hot Florida sun until another volunteer saw her and offered her a ride home to the travel trailer she lived in. This was the same person who could not vote for Bernie Sanders because she had a drug felony decades earlier. America failed her in so many ways.
