Don't think anybody has mentioned this, but the whole concept of soccer mom is a car dependent.

Soccer, some other sport, dance classes or a martial arts.
You take the kid and put them around other random kids, that they will never meet again.

And instead of seeing it as a way of making the kid social, it's just a thing a person can put on a college or job application.

It makes the kid unsocial. Like people come and go out of their lives. No deep relationships ever.

Got stuck watching 'Home Alone' and what a loving condemnation of the Suburban car culture, that movie is.


It's amazing how isolated the kid is in that movie


The telephone line goes down, but because they are far out, and they can't get the phone repaired.
The kid is alone in a cul-de-sac. The 3 other neighbors are also gone?


The kid has no friends at all.
Doesn't the kid have a school? Or teachers?
The kid goes into the "small town" but there is no meaningful connection with anybody there, and nobody knows who he is.

They send the police, and they are not helpful what so ever.


It's insane to see this movie now, understanding how weird the culture around that movie is.

The sequel takes place in one of the densest zip codes in the country, though. I think it might just be fiction.

The second film exaggerate the first film's need for the main character to be isolated.
But in the first film, his isolation is believable, because that is how the world could be;
before the advent of the internet and cellphones, but after the destruction of small communities, and walk-able cities.

Thanks for reminding me of the worst commutes of my life

Did you ever get into the habit where you only talk in time?
I was talking about a guy online, and he was surprised how I never talk about distance when driving.
Like when I talk about traveling, space doesn't really exist, because traffic warps how long it takes to travel through space. So the only thing that matters is time.


Like it takes about 40 minutes to get to my friends house by freeway, or an hour, twenty to get there by street, during mid day, while at night it's about 20 minutes by freeway and 40 minutes by street.


If you ask me "how far away is something." I would answer, "like 30 minutes or whatever."

When I was in Taiwan five years ago, they had e-mopeds that used battery shares, so you'd just drop off your dead battery in the charging station and pick up a live one in exchange.

I have no idea what the externalities of that are, but it looked pretty awesome, and a lot of their street infrastructure is built for mopeds.

If we had a train system that could take me from LA to New York (or Florida) in a day or two, I would probably had made a trip every few years just for kicks.


LA's traffic is more notorious because people expect to be commuting for an hour to an hour and a half.
Because businesses think that LA is like New York and think they need to be in the downtown.

But in terms of population density, and putting people in homes, even if there are a lot of single family homes, LA packs people in than a majority of other US cities.

I feel my like my city in the SGV, with 6,391 people per square mile, is kind of country bumpkin to me.
But then phoenix Arizona has 3,400 people per square mile like how is that possible?

Oh poo poo, Was it? That doesn't bode well.
Electric car drivers are going to make driving cars worse.

Skaters treat their stuff like poo poo, because they can afford to treat it like crap. And that's what normal people do.
If a pen doesn't write well, gently caress it. Toss it out and get a new one. It's cost more to fix it, if it can be fixed.

Like normal rear end gear car makes a person respect it with all the loving little parts and fear of it becoming a flaming ball of gasoline and oil fire.

The average price a new car was 33'000, but 'The Great Inflation' (Number!) happened. Now the current average price of a car is 47'000 dollars.
That is the loving price of Tesla.

Electric cars are just really big remote control cars, and they are going to get cheaper, and cheaper. And people are just going to crash them and get another one like whatever.

That formerly safe single family house in the middle of the street is going to need a big old rock on their front yard to protect it from loving drivers.
