I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

If there is ever a real peak oil or whatever will stop gas/petrol being cheap I assume we will just abandon the outer suburbs to nature. roads will crack and things will grow and their roots will eventually break up the surface. I doubt we will get ever around to replacing every single car with an electric version, most people are in denial about that.

This moron had a 100% at fault accident totalling two cars, has multiple other tickets, and still no action is going to be taken to get him to stop loving driving and menacing other people.

I live in a city, during the depths of the pandemic when traffic was way down it was nice to wander the quieter streets. I daydream about replacing the middle two lanes with a huge strip of plant life. I assume it would have to be in an artificial planter bed or something because the soil if there’s even any under there at all is probably irradiated and toxic

mostly I just really hate cars and roads and traffic and it gets worse the older I get

The early pandemic shutdowns were really cool for seeing how quickly nature came back in. Every crack in the asphalt fills up with plants. Deer came back into town. I found a brick plaza covered in pansies because no one had hit it with a leaf blower in months.

Cities look so much nicer when there's a shitton of trees and green space. Even grass isn't too bad if it's for parks and meadows.

1. releases VOC's into the atmosphere whenever some coked out idiot decides his precious beemer is dirty
2. adds a little bit more excess mass when said idiot plows into your toddler

e: 3. breaks and can be serviced at enormous expense

A bunch of dumb people in that sub were also furious that the mod temporarily added a rainbow to the header image.

The idea that it shouldn't endorse leftist ideas because it might turn people off is really stupid because the whole sub is just people ranting about cars to each other like this thread, it's not seriously trying to do advocacy to convince average americans that cars are bad.

A lot of americans just literally can't accept that even a single thing china has done could possibly be good though.

It's capitalist realism, these infrastructure things and investments/prioritization in the common good that China is doing just by decree are things we have been told for decades are impossible fantasies, as part of a deliberate project to reign expectations back in so the bread and circuses and can just be a re-run ala doing stuff we did 80 years ago like going to the moon or....well that's it, everything else like providing for people in their elder years or making even a single thing universal aren't even allowed to be mentioned anymore

If you can stand up an entire medicare/medicaid program in under a year then by god that does not allow it to become completely defanged and compromised, so the new standard must become that any changes at all, at any level, must take years and years and go through 10,000 different layers of NGO and party establishment approval

We had coast to coast rail networks to the extent that you could take city trolleys from NE Maine to Chicago but we've since paved over those tracks and if you start asking about doing all that again you're going to suddenly be told that actually what you should worry about is the property values of homeowners who are in every single way opposed to every single thing you support

One thing that does suck about bikes is when your chain comes off the chainring in the middle of 5 lanes of traffic and you have to crouch on a median strip 2 feet wide while trying to get it back on as fast as possible

also you can get your chain back on just by shifting the front derailleur to the middle chainring ( or if you're on a double, the chainring opposite the side of wherever the chain fell off) and pedaling real slow

is there any chance that ukraine / russia stuff will cause US gas prices to rise? 🙏

I heard that the nord 2 pipeline might make european gas prices go crazy but it's hard to tell if that extends to the US

I can't even imagine the tantrum americans will throw if gas ever breaks $5/gallon 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
