People around Seattle will say poo poo about how Seattle is so dirty and in "have you never been to any other cities at all? I watched a rat run up and steal the end of a hot dog from my friends hand in NYC" and they'll just look confused. That whole literally throwing bags of trash directly onto the side walk kind of floored me. Cleanest fuckin city I've been to here in America and the fuckin locals got words. Of course the allys smell like piss in the morning. Not like there's any bathrooms for people to use in the whole downtown area after 9pm. Destroy the automobile. Add more free to use public bathrooms. My plan to fix America.

Yeah, Seattle didn’t seem that dirty to me, just well…you could tell the character was being drained from the town. Portland isn’t that different now, just smaller and more chaotic.

I feel like the state has been utterly defanged, partially from the inside and not just by republicans, and it's now impossible for it to do anything at all.

Gunshow Poophole posted:driving school teaches you to at least shoulder check the opposite direction last as you begin to execute a turn in drivers ed they taught us to look left, right, and then a check of what is in front of the car before making a turn or putting the car in motion from a stop. unfortunately most people do not actually do this.

I usually switch back and forth between looking left and right as quickly as possible the entire time I am executing the turn.

they recently installed a stop sign and crosswalk at the end of my street where it crosses a two-lane road. the other day i was crossing in front of a bus that was stopped there, and as i did someone comes from behind the bus and passes it going into the other lane of traffic and is clearly not going to stop. thankfully i was almost to the other side but so loving infuriating

They call accidents resulting from that “double threat collisions” here and they’re supposed to get you four points on your license but of course it’s never enforced.

re public toilets saw these ones today and thought it was nicely done, obviously using a bit of the existing buildings rather than a new one in the middle of the square (Strasbourg) Also went to the cinema and there was an advert from the city council boasting about all the bike lanes and transit stops and reducing the number of cars. distortion park has issued a correction as of 17:40 on Oct 23, 2022 |

Stops at intersection, looks right, turns left while looking right despite there being no other cars near in sight. Just mind boggling stupid. The driver may as well closed their eyes.

I wonder how many fatal car crashes start out as temper tantrums like that. Probably not an insignificant amount.

Nitevision posted:Sick I've wanted to visit Strasbourg for years. Between there and Freiburg it seems like the Rhine has some great pedestrian/bike towns as a visitor i liked it. the town center is pleasant to walk around and the transport is excellent. Munich was the city I've been most surprised by recently, so many cyclists, cargo bikes and pedestrians, in a fairly large area around the city centre. It's obviously reached the tipping point where at least a few people feel confident enough to take their kids in a bike bucket, London is still way off that. Munich also has a very good (although expensive to use as a visitor) suburban and underground rail network. Worth reading the wikipedia page and taking a look at the expansion plans and construction costs if you want to get depressed distortion park has issued a correction as of 19:38 on Oct 23, 2022 |
