[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago (1 children)

My city is basically made for transformers, very little you can do walking

This is what I dream of for my city and I drive for a living. Get these 70 square feet of individual morons who don't need to be on the road out of my way.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Given that you drive for living, you probably drive truck or bus or taxi. Makes sense. Using huge steel brick to transport 1.2 people on average is such idiocy.

Pepe is dead. His creator killed him because of all the far right memes he was used in.

Just stop.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 4 months ago

Man the whole "pepe is right wing" thing was huge like 4 years ago, now I literally only ever see it mentioned by people like you. It's a drawing of a frog, if you don't like it then hide the post.

[–] [email protected] 67 points 4 months ago

fuck the far right they can't take pepe from us. Don't let them walk all over you

[–] [email protected] 50 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Pepe is like water. Everyone drinks water.

i did not know walkable cities was a far right movement. wow. you learn something new everyday i guess

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

walkable cities are not a far right movement.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 4 months ago (1 children)

you just said it was. because of Pepe. are u messing with me?

[–] [email protected] 47 points 4 months ago (1 children)

No no u dont understand. Once the bad people have used a meme, the good people aren't allowed to use it anymore!

I know you're being sarcastic, but I just absolutely despise that mentality. People seriously think that it's best to just roll over to the side and surrender every symbol the nazis want for themselves?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Yes I was being sarcastic, and I agree with you 100%. The problem is that they start using these symbols and memes as a kind of dog whistle and then people catch on and anyone using them is immediately sus. We're not just rolling over and letting them take them, they are taking them by force.

i really wish my city had a lot of bike lanes

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (2 children)

my city has but they're in such a bad condition you'd need a good mtb to ride there

Well, I can tell you as someone who lives in one that does: cops and other assholes park all over the bike lanes constantly, and idiots walk all over it without looking. So…I’m all for them. But we have to eliminate cops and cars and other idiocy for them to workike they should.

You can read all about it in my upcoming NYT bestseller, Cops and Other Idiots: A Biker’s Guide to Pretending You Didn’t Mean To Run Over That Cop (And Those Other Assholes!)

Seriously! It's currently 100 degrees in my city. Walking down the neighborhood blocks with tree coverage makes such a difference.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (2 children)

100 degrees in my city.

It's boiling hot. Literally. How?

Does it give shade?

This is quite literally what a large stretch of the Ohlone Greenway looks like from Richmond through El Cerrito, Albany, Berkeley, Emeryville, down to Oakland looks like.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 months ago

Where the tents :(

Even if we don't end up winning the Euro football championship, 🇳🇱 is the walkability winner.

I recently came across this enthusiastic in-depth analysis of a completely unknown and (to us) normal train station somewhere in the province. No sports event will ever make me feel as patriotic as this video.

This is fantastic. Utterly fantastic. Why can't we all have this stuff? Honestly, I feel like the modern vikings taking over the UK would be great.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

We've done it before..

Though the Angles and Saxons get all the credit, there's a lot of Frisian heritage there too.

the nordics win walkability because we just do not give a fuck and will walk anywhere, i have seen parents with a baby in a stroller going for a walk in the middle of nowhere with cars whizzing past at 60 km/h
