fresh_cheese posted:Americans generally are simply not considerate enough to exist in shared spaces without causing major issues for their neighbors regularly. Cowboys get rowdy when you pack too many in one place. Agreed, but my excuse in Denver is that it's not nearly a cool enough city to hang out in all the time, so the best thing to do is pack up your poo poo and leave for the weekend.

Last time I rode the light rail right before Covid hit, a guy sat in front of me and within minutes he was nude from the waste down lying on his back furiously masturbating. I had to step around him so I could get to work. Thankfully now I can work at home where it’s only me on my back cranking one out.

It'd be sick to live in a place with good non car options. Going by Google my commute to work 1 way by car is 7 min and by bus it's 40.

Find a Tesla owners garage on Craig’s list and suck their dick for a chargeup while you sit there for 45 minutes, the electricity coming from a gas turbine that is less efficient than a modern car engine.

Public transportation is not intended for people like me. I'd have to take 12 mg of ativan every time I had to get in the drat subway, I'd end up addicted in like a week. You know public transportation is basically hell for autistic people, right? I have no idea why so many of them are into trains, I guess they like to imagine riding in a luxury cabin with nobody else. That ain't an option on a city bus. edit: and packing people together like sardines is just plain inhuman, I'm surprised there aren't more mass shootings in crowded mass transportation vehicles and stations.

Panzeh posted:motels used to be a part of that, too, because car trips were much longer before the interstate highway system finished its work, after the 70s, motels basically went out of business because there was no need to stop so much no they didn't. they aren't quite as common as they used to be and have been almost completely taken over by corporate chains (motel 6 and super 8) but they aren't exactly rare, and there are also a lot of hotel chains competing in the same space but 20-40 more per night with some amenities (hampton inn, la quinta, howard johnson etc.) which are also used heavily by people on car trips, various kinds of groups that travel by van and bus, people who travel for work to areas where air travel doesn't make sense, etc. and the number of motels in the US has been growing every year recently.

I just want to be alone except for a driver who does not speak my language, without any loud noises or horrible sensory distractions like people making homemade frosting with their dicks. Actually, people just existing is enough to bother me, they don't have to be doing anything wrong. Point is I can't ride the subway unless I'm wasted.

i dont know if this is related but i think it is a sad indicator of These Times that some people said "hey it would be cool if all the stuff you needed was within a short walking distance of where you live" and then a part of the public response was turned into "government is going to literally prevent you from going more than 15 minutes away from your home" because everything is a conspiracy now

Every terf and antivaxer is now also raging against any alternatives to car usage. How do they live like that it must be exhausting e: also lol the current conservative alpha male fad of performative cowardice, bragging they would never set foot in a city or use public transport because of ~those people~

They ain't gonna take your car away, at least not this century, they're just talking about employing urban planning to create towns that are more convenient and pleasant to live in. Being against that is, well, really loving weird.

In the city I live in not only was the bus route not running by the time I was going to work at my last job and not running when I got off; but if it was, it was a 3 mile downhill to work and 3 mile uphill to the stop that climbs like 200 feet in elevation.

Does Wizard Master always start a thread on controversial topics then never get involved in the debate? Is this how he gains his powers, by starting threads to no where and watching us spin in circles, meanwhile in the background he's planning his next move? Is he a derail vampire? Are we slowly having our life force drained from us by this so called "Wizard Master" everytime we engage in a meaningless debate?

Some trains in the UK have "quiet coaches" but considering how dogshit rail transport is in the UK right now I don't think it's enforced at all. I loving love travelling by public transport despite regularly having meltdowns.

I own a few cars and I still think car-centric society sucks poo poo OP. I would like to just use them for fun driving, not commuting to work or long distance. We should be able to use fairly priced (or free) public transport for the vast majority of our getting around.

Yep, also diagnosed autistic here. Sometimes the bus gets mega crowded and I definitely understand why it would be too much. For me personally, since I've been here I've encountered the supernaturally bad BO people, the marinated their clothes with urine repeatedly people, the groups of obnoxious drunks, the Just Making Conversation! jackasses (who can get hosed), the anxiously crooning hymns to Jesus in creepy voices people, and these things can be tolerated. Only time I ever had to get off, calm down, and wait for the next one was the time 3 adults brought 5-6 toddlers on the bus, sat them all around my seat, and deliberately pumped them up until they were all screaming and crying while the adults criticized everyone else and me in particular for being affected. No masturbation witnessed yet and almost everyone just wants to sit down, shut up and get to where they're going. These are all challenging though. I'm blessed with single-minded focus, so most of the time I read or do crochet and the world disappears until my phone alerts. If it's crowded I stand and keep my mind busy with not falling down. It's honestly less stressful for me than driving had become and I'm grateful I have the option. I wish there were quieter options too.
