i hate driving so fucking much
I hate commuting (edit: by car) so fucking much.
Driving is worse.
If you commute by train or bus you can at least get a streak in candy crush, read a book or stare at people while deliberately eating too slowly.
Let me be clear: I hate commuting by car. Trains, bikes, whatever else is fine. I cannot stand being stuck in traffic with everyone else that seem to have no patience and no presence of mind to leave a bit earlier so they have the time to sit in traffic.
Driving is fine. A nice long drive can be amazing.
don’t get me wrong I hate cars with a passion but as a frequent transit user (ab Canada), transit is still quite a beast
I’ve witnessed beatings, aggressive and unstable people making a ruckus ornsxene or getting on the offensive to other passengers. I don’t pull out my phone on the bus in certain areas.
This isn’t a problem with transit though. This is like saying the problem with shoplifting is having shops.
Violence in society is not solved by puting everyone within there own metal box. This just gives protection to all of those that can afford the metal box and makes the issue of violence worse as only the less privileged are exposed to the violence.
Also, you normalize the deaths caused by car accidents in your area. Which I can guarantee are significantly higher than anyone being randomly killed on public transit.
All I’m hearing is that you got a free show!
As and Australian,.I am.with you, fuck driving, fuck cars, they ruin citiies.
They are very happy!
This is their freedom!
No smartphones in sight, just people living in the moment
I don’t want to live in that moment
Scenes from North America
Specifically Dallas while building a whole new I-635 section that runs between and under the original lanes.
Dallas: suffers from terrible heat.
Dallas Politicians apparently: What we need is vast swaths of conrete nothingness. To really max out the temperature. I won’t be satisfied till being outside literally leads you to melt.
take the TRE instead. oh, that’s right, it’s fucking useless
Now imagine a data center in the middle. My God… It’s just so beautiful I almost cried.
All the flat concrete walls of this data centre would be perfect for huge LED billboards!
And more lanes! Heaven on earth.
We massacred the buffalo and First Nations for THIS (｡♡‿♡｡)
Well… not for this. We did take a lot more land than what we use for highways. 😅
All I’m hearing is that we need to build more highways on ancient indian burial grounds.
What could POSSIBLY go wrong???
Nothing. We got the laws for it.
Adding a couple more lanes would get things moving. /S
Just one more lane bro and that’ll fix traffic I swear
Is this the checkout line for Walmart?
No, it looks like it’s moving.
No, this is the line for the costco gas pumps
No it’s the Walmart pharmacy line.
No, Whataburger at 3 AM.
“I know how to fix this: another 116 lanes… that way everyone 200 cars in that particular direction has their dedicated path.” - sarcastically
Because they’re building a train in the middle, right?
Right?!?
just 1 more lane this time it will surely do it
nononono…TUNNELS will do it!
Falling Down vibes.
Not quite where my mind was going, but definitely something along the line of “Fuck it”, leave the car right there and just ditch.
I mean, show me any picture of this many humans packed together and I’ll run screaming. Doesn’t matter if its a train or a bus or walking…ick. Not for me.
I think a lot of americans are the same really. We dont want to be around anyone who isnt our family or friends.
However this photo could be replaced by like 1 train or 10 buses. So yeah.
Americans would rather sit in a car for an hour than next to a stranger for ten minutes.
Yeah, I would. Just dont like being around random folks. If its at a concert or something sure, we have a shared interest, but otherwise, no thanks.
I just don’t get the appeal. I’d rather read a book, scroll Mastodon or look at the scenery while traveling than have to focus on the road.
I don’t think Americans realize how many hours of their lives get wasted just so they don’t have to sit next to strangers.
I get it. The privacy of a car is very nice. Its also nice at night vs riding the subway alone and wondering If at the next stop youll get mugged or shot when some crazy gets on. Its just a creepy feeling to me, I’m not used to it.
Also I don’t live somewhere where theres really traffic. I enjoy driving, myself.
Hell, I don’t really want to be around my family that much.
Definitely not here either. Only a select few
Keep voting against “immigrants”. I’m sure it’ll solve this issue.
This is about 1/4 the size of the Toronto Brakelight festival, every day from 6-10am and 3-7pm.
Brake light Festival lol how have I never heard that. Perfect summary of the 401.
Huge Tourist attraction, people join for hours. The pulsing red lights are pretty at night.
Any reasonable person: “Explain how this is ‘life’”
Hmmmmmm, well…42 years ago your mommy and your daddy decided it would be fun to have some sex. Yes. That’s real. That happened.
Yadda yadda yadda, and now in the modern day, you have a dead end job, a family that hates you, and gas prices that never stop going up because a pedophile is president.
But enough about that. You’re already 15 minutes late because of this traffic jam.
Back to work, dickhead!
