My superficial read was that the south would rather wallow in poo poo than have anything that could remotely enjoyed by non-whites. I'm probably just imagining it though. But if I'm not, the north seems to be following suit anyway

The Southeast was much more agrarian than the Northeast, so urbanization came much later and isn't as central to our culture/history. Segregation is a great point, plus the general conservative resistance to anything communal. We also lost one of our biggest cities to a fire in 1864 lol

It feels like a nice mall compared to Chicago's two train stations. I remember that Austria was in the process of completely renovating/modernizing all of the country's main train stations. Salzburg's station is incredible, and it's only a city the size of a large suburb in southern California or Texas.

Now my car smells like burning oil all the time despite no leaks or smoke. I take it back, he can't smell anything because of course he can't, he's constantly immersed in oil. Went all the way across town for this and came back with no result. Now that's just gonna be broken forever I guess, no more fresh air through the blower at a stop. dude got some oil on your manifold, it'll burn off soon enough but it'll stink 'til it does.

The South was straight up a feudal society until 1865.

Arguably, it was still a semi-feudal society afterward as well and industrialization would continue to lag versus the North by 1900. That said, the south did have public infrastructure like Terminal Station in Atlanta...it just got flattened during the post-war era. The difference may be there there is marginally more left of that infrastructure in the West/North because there was still enough of a will to utilize it. Even in LA, Union Station continued to be an active Amtrak hub, and the North East preserved most of its stations (except for the tragedy of Penn station).

I remember being at one of the main transit stations in Vienna, that had light rail service ina ddition to the subways, either Westbahnhof or Bahnhof Meidling. It was pretty dope, due to time zone shifts I was always up at 5 am, so you would be there and all the shops would open, and the smell of fresh baked pastries, rolls, etc. was everywhere

A lot of those cool looking train stations aren't very efficient uses of space. I would honestly prefer that they use the space better because that would probably actually make them more pleasant to spend time in than having a huge atrium.

I mean it's much better than using it for non-train stuff, it's just I don't want them to optimize for having cool atriums at the cost of the stations actually being usable There are a fair amount of train stations with cool atriums in the US that actually suck to use

Netflix has added a few episodes of "Hajimete no Otsukai" which is an old show that follows little kids in Japan as they run their first errand. It's featured briefly in this clip about the same topic: https://youtu.be/P7YrN8Q2PDU We've stolen so much freedom from kids.

A friend of mine tells a story of being told off by a tinker kid while bartender This 6-8 yr old kid walking through a bar and my mate taps him on the shoulder and asks him "Hey there kid can I help you find mum and dad?" To which the kid replies " They over there *points* and I'll thank you not to touch me again" I hope if I even have kids they are like that

Ardennes posted:I am okay with atriums in trains stations, I just hate massive boondoggle airports where it takes an hour to get from end to the other (I am looking at you Istanbul). Atriums are fine in large stations but most small ones would be better off being cost engineered into something incredibly simple. Most stations don't need mezzanines (especially underground!!) and would be totally sufficient as a couple of platforms, a ticket office/bathroom/couple of shops, some lifts and a walkway.

I know libs pretending to solve racism with tokenism infuriates you, but as someone who attended a school built for the purpose of desegregation yes racist governments in the south actively defunded and destroyed public commons in response to desegregation. Stop being a racist piece of poo poo, please.
