Terms you deem to be "autistic babble" have meaning in the context of what they are talking about. This entire garbage thread is prime "Mad at the internet". The only thing that actually qualifies as lolcows are redditors and Adam "Nuclear holocaust isn't that bad" something . You are too much of a sperg to consider that words have meaning by trivialising them for your retardation and stickers. You created a picture of who you want them to be and say.
Let me guess, you think "mansplain", "whitewash" and "manspread" are actual things, right? And not terms created by permanently developmentally-stunted harpies who are mad over being wrong over things and typically having a man correct them, little in the way of black superheroes and leading roles so they have to make white characters black in order to compete, and the biological difference between the two sexes which necessitates a slightly different sitting posture which these gluttonous hamplanets deem as "spreading", even though given the opportunity they usually take a whole seat for their purse. If you have to invent words for your cause, it probably isn't a valid one.
It's the very same thing here. "Stroad" isn't a thing; if it was, then the definition wouldn't arbitrarily describe any road that's wide, open, and with no visibly apparent crossings. Otherwise, this would be a "strail", since it turns what should be a 5 minute walk into an unnecessarily much longer journey, since the "train-dependent" infrastructure cuts the city into two with little in the way for pedestrian or road crossings:
And yet, few people are complaining that the centre of Munich is split in two with a 44 lane-wide, 200m long abomination of a terminal when cities with much bigger tourist and commercial opportunities make do with terminals that are a fraction of the size:
No-one complains about this "trainbrained" retardation because it goes against their narrative. "Just walk for an hour to get to the other side on what should have been a 10 minute walk lmao" because they're too cheap or lazy to build a few more pedestrian bridges in logical places. At the very least, if you're going to follow through and be consistent on what already exists, there should at least be an L-Train that goes across it as part of its route.
"Road violence" is charged language that makes it seem like innocent mistakes and injuries suffered while on the road was deliberate grievous harm much in the same vein as "gun violence", yet they are likely the same people who are quick to blame pedestrians who end up with broken bones and scrapes as a result of a bicycle hitting them. We don't call that "bicycle violence". We call it an accident, because that's what it is. Either because the cyclist was inattentive, the pedestrian was inattentive, or either of the two parties felt opportunistic.
Had this happened in 2022, you'd have a whole bunch of whiteknights getting MATI over the guy who's had his head busted open into the wheel well of his car becoming angry because some retard on a bicycle decided he was Lance Armstrong and tried to cut an apex where there was a brick wall. They'll complain about the width of the pavement being too "ped-centric" and demand the wall be smashed down instead of taking steps to negate future incidents.
"Car-dependent" is also likewise as arbitrary as stroad is, since it has been readily applied from cities that have stayed largely the same over centuries, with horsecart routes being paved into roads intended for automobile usage, all the way to brand new cities with less than half a century of history. Can you tell me what "car-dependent infrastructure" actually is without resorting to posting a video? Can you explain it in 50 words or less? Can you prove that changing the infrastructure will actually make a positive difference, and I'm not talking about "it looks nicer" or other sentimental crap, I want economic proof that removing "car-dependent" infrastructure has a positive effect on the economy and not just inconveniencing people you don't like. And "carbrained", which is what I replaced it with, is the most infantile of the bunch. "Oh you don't agree with us therefore YOU ARE LE CRINGE CARBRAIN XD". Fuck off.
Your opinion has already been made up. You vehemently denounce what they believe in irregardless of if they object to r/fuckcars or not. You aren't just being unfair, but activley malicious. This is exactly the type of dumb "joyless" shit jersh was talking about. People have different opinions than you, grow the fuck up. It's funny too how you mention "oh well they haven't denounced them and they talked to other lolcows so that automatically makes them one" is the same backwards logic reddit leftards use when trying to call anyone a facisct. "You talk to a nazi, you've been around nazis, you're a nazi".
You're damn right my opinion has been made up, just like yours has. You don't seem to understand that we're complaining about people who have made it their literal life's work to complain, and that the only person who has actually done something (Charles Marohn) is a known grifter. We're criticising about NJB for being a dumb Canadian who thinks ALL of Europe is like the historic centre of The Netherlands. We're criticising people who think the solution to being mildly inconvenienced by crossing the streets is to rip everything up, put electric cables and rails everywhere and thinking that it's magically fixed and that everyone is going to like it.
What actually happened:
>"Dude I wish that we didn't have to use a car to do everything, it would be nice to have alternatives to get around."
>"WTF, DUDE YOU HATE FREEDOM YOU FUCKING FAGGOT? I BET YOU THINK ALL TRUMP SUPPORTERS ARE NAZIS, LOSER. YOU WILL NEVER TAKE AWAY MY GOD GIVEN RIGHT AS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN. STAY MAD COMMUNIST!"
>"uh... whatever you say man"
>projecting
Funny how you go from calling me out for "making my mind up" and "making an image in my head" when you've done exactly the same thing two paragraphs later. Rules for thee, much?
Also, since I didn't mention it yet
>crying over negrating
Grow the fuck up. Downvotes are nothing more than pixels on a screen. I haven't taken your child's dinner away from you by calling out your spergy rant as autistic.
You don't get to derail an otherwise productive thread with greentexts, memes, shitposts and insults and then have the audacity to complain when someone throws your shit back at you. Had you been reasonable throughout this thread and offered valid points instead of immediately going "fat hands typed this post" and typing out angry little greentext essays over how you think your opposition believes, you'd have probably got constructive replies. But you didn't, you haven't, and you continue to contribute nothing but noise, so seethe, mald, cope and sneed.
Anyway, I'm going to pipe down before someone else cries for the jannies. If you want to fill this thread with more contrarian textual diarrhea and complaining over negrating, that's on you. If you want to start a parallel thread on A&N like there is for Trump and the Ukraine, again, that's your choice. But 14 pages of discussion in less than a week tells me there's more than a few people decently invested in this, and that it won't be going away any time soon.
