because otherwise you’re gonna be waiting for like 10 minutes

that’s fair enough, you know? cars are whatever, it’s all the infrastructure built for cars that really makes the cars a problem. parking is just one very large aspect of that infrastructure.

me too, buddy, me too

oh smh i can’t even begin to count how many times i was caught, stood against a wall, and executed by firing squad by a posse of lifted f150s when i first started biking to get around. fortunately i’ve learned how to evade them: turns out they have shite turning radius and are terrible offroad

I’m going to leave mine up as a sort of testament to eleven years of my life. My last comment is, and will continue to be unless something drastic changes, some argument I was having with somebody about how to fix housing shortages, like the one in California.

17 days ago as of now. Weird feeling.

i’m glad you agree on car dependency being bad. the problem is that you were arguing for cars being useful for some people for some small reasons as if you were responding to an argument that we should ban all cars everywhere all the time. so if you don’t mind, i’d like to walk you through why your comment went… unappreciated here, despite no ill intention on your part.

1. that’s not what the post was arguing

2. that’s not what anybody in fuckcars argues

3. basically everbody in fuckcars, including me, will agree with the statement that cars have legitimate use cases, so arguing it as if you will meet any pushback is sus

4. arguing that point based on temperature control and music on speakers implies that the objections people of fuckcars have to car dependency are similarly centered around one’s own immediate personal comfort, rather than long-term societal health which directly and indirectly benefits everybody in that society, even those who can’t afford a car with working speakers or a/c in our current version of society

5. these sorts of implications are very commonly done intentionally by people arguing disingenuously, many of whom i’ve run into on either this forum or the reddit precursor

do ya see where i’m coming from now?

i enjoy when people bring this up as if to imply that that’s a good reason to keep building american car-centric suburbia

hey, i didn’t know adam something was on lemmy

what if you lived in a place that was designed right, such that it wouldn’t be a massive loss to your quality of life if you went car-free or car-lite?

what if the place you live right now was designed right, such that it wouldn’t be a massive loss to your quality of life if you went car-free or car-lite?

don’t make me horny for the garf

i mean, this sure looks like it

Isn’t Tumblr part of the fediverse now?

that makes us sound like a fallout faction, but specifically one from the first two games

how bout just lemurs

i try to drink some water in between every cup of water 😎

oh we’re sorry we pumped the atmosphere full of radioactive chemicals rubs nipples harder

Agreed. I’m finding a lot more stuff to do here.

One thing I do miss a bit from the Spezhole is the ability to just mindlessly scroll through all the links from all the communities I’m subscribed to. If that is here already, I haven’t found it yet. But I am enjoying the vibe quite a bit more.

Sometimes it’s time for a change.

Hmm. Third party apps, you say? What an intriguing concept.

That “first night in the new apartment without most of the furniture, sleeping by yourself for the first time in a while” feeling.
