I know you know how to do this.
Get up.


a sat on a little window sill next to an atm in grand central once. a rentacop appeared within seconds to hassle me. I ask ‘can I squat???’ and she replied ‘you can’t sit down’ so I sat up into a squat

she stared for a second and walked away.

so you heard it here: squatting is legal in grand central

here's a secret: skip the paint and park in the red anyways (as long as it's not like directly infront of a hydrant). it's not enforced. you can get sick rear end downtown parking in san francisco or LA by just parking in the red like end of a street or something. i've never once seen someone or been ticketed for doing it

only rubes circle for 20 blocks trying to find a tiny parallel parking spot instead of just parking into the first open red zone

unfortunately too many people have figured out this secret the past few years because now red zones are all parked up these days too, but better chance than regular street parking

This is radical praxis, if you are poster enough to just park right in the driving lane. Like, just come to a full stop and leave your car right there (don't come back to it)

this is a good hack too but someone (most) might crash into a large stationary object becausethey e been texting for the last 3000 feet without looking up

so I do not recommend this lifehack unless there’s no red zone parking

Counterpoint: now there're two less cars on the road, which has at least one less usable lane and it's likely to invite other cars to the crash, leading to a total stop in traffic.

30% of every block in sf is cars parked in driving lanes with hazards on, and none of those streets are moving fast enough to total either car in a crash.

Almost every major street in Toronto is two lanes: one for parking and one for waiting for someone else to get out of a parking spot so you can get into it. Traffic is really bad for some reason, it must be because of bikes.

I have some advice for my fellow unfortunate car drivers

OK here's the basic rules:

Pedal # 1: This makes the car go faster
Pedal # 2: This slows the vehicle

Pedal #1 is by far the most important one. It makes a VROOM VROOM sound. It allows your vehicle to coast. Which means you can just roll the vehicle without expending energy.

Pedal #2 is more abstract. Sometimes you may need to use it to avoid stoplights or the occasional drunk driver.

how are some people in chicago so loving bad at driving. i get that there's smog but really, c'mon

I think the question is the other way around: why should people need to be good at driving to literally not starve?

There are tons of people for whatever reason will never be good drivers or shouldn't drive, they simply don't have an alternative.

Because then you can't sell them an enormous high interest loan that they use to buy cars.
