had a rare necessity to drive during rush hour yesterday, first time in a while after everybody came back from the holidays. a trip that should've taken me no more than 15 minutes stretched into 40. Bumper to bumper, often having to wait at a green light for a cycle or two as there would be literally no space to move forward.

people are doing this every day. i pity their goddamn souls. all of my gripes with poo poo public transport here were wiped away by just doing one car trip. just give me the bombed out husks of our trolley lines, i'll take the lovely tram cars any day of the week as opposed to sitting in bumper to bumper traffic for anything more than 5 minutes

tbf congestion pricing is kinda dumb because most of the time it is "only rich ppl allowed" as it's a flat fee. the rich bankers and lawyers and poo poo blow their nose with a stack of hundos and throw it in the garbage: a 20 surcharge is nothing. london has congestion pricing and didn't seem like it did much other than the median value of a car on the road went up by five figures

either personal commuter cars shouldn't be there or they should.

london's congestion charge was funny because idiots immediately went out and bought loads of these things because they were exempt from the charge



just be careful!!!

From the perspective of everyone else, even those cars are probably an improvement over whatever those people were driving before, although it's still probably not ideal if everyone just runs out and buys those instead of just not driving

More reasonably, while not having cars would be better, it would actually not be terrible if they multiplied to charge by like 10x and only exempted electric golf carts that are limited to 20mph or something.

1998 dodge caravan with 450,000km in two different shades of green. Everything's broken but the engine and drivetrain. Looks a little cooler than normal tho bc the wheels are the wrong size and sort of pop out. The steering rack is loose. There is rust.

Driving it instead of just scrapping it is sort of an act of hatred.

An acquaintance of mine was hit and killed by a car on Valentine's Day, while walking his girlfriend home from a concert. He was dragged for two whole city blocks. I went from ambivalence towards car to CSPAM levels of rage.

A coworker of mine just lost a child in a car accident. Everyone is one accident away from this kind of tragedy. I don't know how we tolerate it.

Edit: sorry, just to clarify: rape joke

Rape and murder are comparably awful. Swapping them out to show how hosed up it is that we’ve normalized the latter isn’t a joke at all. It was lazy and not perfectly phrased, but that is 100% an apt metaphor and your inability to think about the post beyond “I saw ‘rape,’ best mash those buttons” is a perfect example of “mod brain.”
