At a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

i made the joke because they disabled the mace-gun safety and accidentally shot it, ergo trigger warning

A couple weeks ago someone either here or the hot takes thread posted one of those RETVRN wheat field accounts that talked about taking their kids back to the lives of our ancestors and included driving a stick in the list, I thought it was a pretty good one sentence encapsulation of the confluence of chud, dumbass, and carbrain

I'm not 100% sure but I blame the jolty feeling of poor handling when being a passenger in a car in the USA on automatic transmission doing AI poo poo. Maybe we could try to get a car to drive itself on a single gear first before putting it in charge?

An interesting video about Culver City possibly removing a bus/bike line in one of the few recent success stories as far as mixed-use planning around LA Country (probably SoCal at this point). The chief reason seems to be that drivers are simply jealous of watching buses/bikes pass them, and there isn't a good other reason besides simply resentment. They are simply being 'driven' insane.

the safety of subways etc. vary widely but in my/my wife's experience like 7/10 rides are fine and the remaining ones are either a little stressful or unsafe. the big thing is that you don't know when the ride will be safe or stressful, it feels like you have to be alert all the time. for us all it really took was one bad trip to make every subsequent trip very stressful, and i was pretty happy when we could finally afford cars to drive

I used to sleep on the train on my way to/from work everyday it ruled. Granted I was a white dude living in Munich so other people/locals may be a very different experience.

My weirdest subway story was a middle-aged woman doing a football spin move to get in front of me at the door so she could leave before me.

The biggest factors in determining the probability of a stressful/dangerous encounter on the subway, from my experience in Chicago where it's become much more common, seem to be in no particular order

1) The extent of homelessness minus the extent of decent public shelters
2) Whether you are a woman
3) Whether you are socially marginal or physically vulnerable in some other way (especially being homeless)

Frankly the best thing we could do for public transit in this city would be to build a bunch of good public shelters so the public transit infrastructure doesn't have to serve both functions.

absolutely, public transit being dangerous is a symptom of much bigger issues. One of the local news stations here in Minneapolis did a scare story about how dangerous it is to ride the light rail, they showed some people using drugs in order to drum up support to fill the trains and stations with cops.

Cars solve the problem with homelessness twice though. You can sleep in your car, plus you can kill homeless people with your car, no consequences. No need to improve society, it's already perfect.

The bumper teaser hyping this story was funny because you can see all the normies getting off behind the reporter.

Safe injection sites are the answer and will never get to happen. :(

The actual biggest problem with the light rail in Minneapolis is it only goes from the mall of America to downtown and from downtown to St. Paul. Unless you need to travel between those points it's not very useful.
