"Safe foods" in regards to autism or sensory processing disorder are foods that don't trigger sensory overload or meltdowns. It's not a made up concept, but anyone who is high-functioning enough to attention whore online is probably also high-functioning enough to quit being so picky and eat their goddamn vegetables.
Consider that in order to cars to work as a mass transport mode, you have to spend a ton of space for parking and fast roads. This makes your destinations physically slip further and further away as population grows. Congestion is the icing on the shit cake, as you don’t even get there fast. The only way to keep things nice and working is to go ultra NIMBY. Build absolutely nothing anywhere near anyone, as it will make traffic worse.
Yeah but what does it have to do with troons?
The picture of the cat that people were drawing was placed on part of the trans flag.
I think that headline sums it all up perfectly. It's never about actually helping autistic people. It's about people's need to belong to some sort of group so they have something to put in their Twitter bio.
Nothing gayer than artificially-engineered drama.
it's not just the fact that infrastructure built around cars is naturally less dense than infrastructure built for public transportation, but that low density population centers are poor choices for public transportation. there's a chicken-egg aspect to this problem that most people don't seem to understand and it's that there's basically no way to make urban sprawl well suited for a public transportation paradigm without fundamentally redesigning and rebuilding most urban design and building code around making everything like 3x more dense.
In a walkable community, someone might be able to walk 10 minutes to the grocery store. Because they can’t buy more than they can carry, they must go every day. So they spend 10*2*7=140 minutes a week traveling to and from the grocery store. Someone with a car spends 10 minutes driving to and from the store, but they do it once a week because they can carry a week’s groceries at once, so they only spend 10*2*1 = 20 minutes a week traveling to and from the store, a savings of two hours per week over the walker. Now this is contrived and both people could go more or less frequently, but mathematically, it is almost always more efficient to make fewer larger trips than more smaller ones.
I mean you're right, but I don't like public transportation, it's always cramped in there, but an argument could be made that people who buy a car with 4 seats while hey aren't married and have no kids are bloody idiots.
I live in a very walkable place but it still requires significantly more time to get anywhere on foot or transit than driving. also, in order to be walkable a place has to be dense. And most people don’t want to raise a family in a sky box.
Good for walking is a notch above walkable. Walkable means you can walk and you don’t necessarily hate it. It’s not the comedy-tier streets you can find in America where you have no sidewalks, no crossings and high speed vehicle traffic everywhere. You have the basics. You can walk around and not die. There might even be some public and commercial services you can access by foot. The bar is not high.
It’s got a walkable score in the nineties. Still faster to drive. What you’re talking about sounds like European ancient cities; post car cities try not to develop them to be deliberately annoying.

I have never heard the term used for autism either, and I had plenty fellow autist friends. Just seems like more self-diagnoser bullshit to prove to others how autistic they are. If I don't like a texture, I don't eat it. I don't make a big reddit display about it.
It was funny when it didn't exist.
