I feel absolutely no urge to 'reintegrate into society' post-pandemic when society is dominated by people like this. Let them murder each other far, far away from me.

I don’t know if I want to live in a place where locals know all the usual “tricks” of guys waving guns at them from trucks like it is the 40th time it happened this month.

yes yes the bit where the pickup guy wants to shoot him for blowing his horn is the most insane part of the video but also don't sleep on the car culture title that begins with "just driving back from my morning jog"

that's the one! White Boy Lake as it's also known.

Growing up my dad used to take the bus to downtown St. Paul for work. It picked him up a block from our house, he didn't have to deal with traffic/parking and his work subsided his bus pass. He loved it. Since then they've severely reduced the bus routes, now he'd have to drive to a park and ride at the maplewood mall to get downtown with a bus. Luckily he's retired now.

BRT's are trash. Create a regional rail-line, use Federal Eminent Domain and throw everyone in terrorist jail who opposes national security.

If those are electric busses then sure. If they still carry their own fuel source, they are trash.

love it when my office hosts long term business travelers from other global offices in our lovely American suburb. One time when i tried to convince a guy he had to rent a car he was like "oh no no I'm European, I'll get around" and ... yeah i think he gave up after a day after trying to figure out how to walk across a major interstate to a sam's club and almost becoming pavement decoration

That owns. I know nothing of modern berlin, but I'm going to guess that if you wanted to or had to live in Berlin, the former East Berlin is where the cool poo poo is?

In the 90s and 00s, definitely. People were leaving the former East in droves, and young people and artists moved into the empty places in the inner city. Prenzlauer Berg and Friedrichshain were the place to be, lots of underground clubs, people occupying houses etc. Both have been gentrified to hell by now. Prenzlberg is one of the most expensive white bourgeois hellholes in all of Germany while Friedrichshain is international hipster downtown.

Nowadays... well, it depends on who you ask. People have strong opinions about that. The formerly run-down parts of the former West (Kreuzberg, Neukölln) have been gentrifying too but I have a feeling that it's going somewhat slower since rent protection is relatively strong in Germany and it wasn't like in the former East where half the city stood empty after everybody who could left.

I like to think that the guy making "obscene hand gestures" was actually trying to let them know their car was on fire or dragging something the full self-driving cameras failed to see

I find that usually when people make obscene hand gestures in traffic they are upset that they believe someone else is driving lovely, but leave it to a Tesla owner to assume they're being persecuted for their beautiful vehicle
