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 kids ride the bus all these cars end up blocking the road wherever the bus drops them off so they can be driven the final 1000 feet home

You can't finance a jetliner and drive it based on passing a single test when you're 16. And trains literally can't turn. The meager brains are coming from inside your head

Ah you are right. If the train can't even turn that sounds extremely unsafe, let's make sure never to build anymore of those. And agreed, if you can finance it, you shouldn't be restricted by dumb rules like maximum "speed." Glad cars are the way, and the light.

Half the kids that live on my quarter mile long, dead end street get picked up from the bus by their parents who park at the end of the road and wait for them. The other half walk down and stand around the parked cars in a big crowd blocking half the road. I don't know how one of the giant brodozer trucks on the street hasn't turned the corner and plowed into them yet

they don't know all alien abduction experiences can be explained by people thinking saving private ryan was a documentary

My neighbors drive like 500 feet to the bus stop to pick up their kids and drive them home. They also get in their cars for the 30 second drive to their own next door neighbors to visit them every day.

I refuse to speak to these people so I will never know why they do this.

easy, if the jones neighbors see me out walking then the neighbors might think i'm too poor to own a car like a real successful adult and eww. or worse, they might see me as a smug uppity libtard who thinks they're too cool to drive a car.

Yes but the speed limit is only 40. DUSABLE Lake Shore Drive is also loving terrible and should be torn out. I almost got creamed crossing it once because some dude jumped the light and decided to floor it.

Also is chicago some biker rider got got killed by a drunk driver on Madison after the city tore out the planters along it because they cost too much money to maintain.

edit: my mistake they were removed to improve traffic flow lmao

edit2:

quote:

Ald. Walter Burnett (27th) had the city pay $400,000 to remove the planters in 2019 to ease traffic congestion, according to Block Club Chicago. The planters were installed to beautify the neighborhood by former Mayor Richard M. Daley in the run-up to the 1996 Democratic National Convention.
...
“It’s very unfortunate that somebody lost their life because of this. You can point your finger at many things, but I don’t think it’s anyone’s fault. I think it’s an accident. My condolences go to the family,” Burnett said.

Seriously. People ask me that all the time and I look at them like they are loving idiots. I will never go back to the burbs. I may leave the city, but it'll be for a rural retreat along lake superior or something like that.

The idea that there's too much congestion on a city street so you should remove planters so people can treat it like a freeway is just so stupid.

when I lived in London there were some rich guys who would illegally park their sports cars outside of the lovely bars on sloane square and have some dude they hired stand by it. presumably the dude had to go drive it round the block if a parking inspector came around?? it went on for years and was incredibly brazen
