Josh was knocked off clearnet after a tranny attempted to attack every literally single layer of his network and by sheer brute force found someone they could leverage their clout against. And this person acts with the implicit blessing of big tech, seeing as no one has attempted to tell them to knock it off or keep their names out of his rancid piehole. Before that it was Keffals who had the entire media apparatus behind him before it became apparent he was a fuckup that could commit to nothing. Reddit operates on the clearnet with total impunity and free access to any banking or advertisement their little hearts desire. They can just have a functioning service but they just decide to pull the plug for two days to make a retarded point that has virtually no chance of achieving any of their goals.

But y'know other than that, basically the exact same situation.

I know what Elliot Dong Long Gone Fong does, I just feel that Tor is an uncooperative system and slow-walking a return to clearnet to prove a point is kind of stupid.

the main slowwalk is because josh is doing something else and doesn't really want to fight it; this is probably the closest he's had to a vacation in years

and right now Tor-only is protecting us from a rain of reddit niggers, so go for it.

back to the topic - bikes are great when compared to walking, they blow when compared to cars over a certain distance.

The trailer for the sequel to fuckcars' favourite urban janny simulator just dropped:

Notice how the developers have no issue with roads, but go to great lengths to show nothing but mid-to-high density urban commieblocks, even though players start every game with literally a blank canvas of pastoral wide-open space!

Could it be fuckcars etc. has nothing to do with cars and roads, but in fact is simply envy from kids living in cramped shitty noisy downtown rabbit warrens towards those of us living in large single family homes with lots of land, a lifestyle they could never afford as they spend their clickbait writer wages on rent, Uber Eats and the barcade ???

Envy is why they yell and scream so hard. They don't want to learn how to drive because that's what right wingers do, and it's scary or something. They hate trucks, even the smol Mavericks and most SUV's because it gives people more independence than them; they can move house easier, carry materials and equipment with ease, and most of all, look cool while doing it

 

[General Emílio Médici]

Most of these people are communists using "urbanism" as a Trojan Horse to their societal engineering shit, trying to force their Utopia on everyone by force.

It's pretty easy to tell their problems aren't actually to do with cars and carcentric cities but entire concept of western liberal democracy (old school, 1776 style liberal) from how their solutions are always coming from a top-down angle and how they refuse to accept a live-and-let-live attitude of having their own bug-hives of commie-blocks and high-density urban transport and letting the carbrains have their "dystopian" huge highways and suburbs. Oh no you can't have that EVERYONE needs to live in the cities!

I don't think so, really. Cities: Skylines is more of a painter than a simulator, and it looks like the sequel will be the same--the real problems of planning, be it urban or suburban, are only shallowly addressed because the important part is letting the player build the city they want, and you wouldn't want to give any negative feedback to their ideas. It's emotional validation for them. You can make your wholesome 100 small town too if you like.

I can smell the phoneposting from here

It also sounds like /r/notjustbikes is closing permanently, not just for the duration of the API strike:

Can't edit the post anymore, but Jason just restricted posting to /r/notjustbikes, he didn't private the subreddit:

I guess he thinks that their archived discussions are too valuable to lose.

Also, have a meme courtesy of /r/FuckCarscirclejerk:

and another:

The mod there also has a sense of humor and is celebrating their status as Reddit's only active urbanist sub:

I use Brave on desktop, and that doesn't change the fact that I still have to log in everytime I close my window because Brave does not allow for Tor browsing outside of private mode, nor the fact that YouTube doesn't fucking work on Tor, and especially not the part where captcha's don't fucking work half the time meaning I can't see archived posts. Believe it or not, people can oppose having to deal with Tor while not being phoneposters.

Probably because drab grey buildings are easiest to model. They weren't exactly showing pedestrianized picturesque European "old towns" either, because that might require effort.

This is literally the first frame that appears in the video after the "All footage captured in-game" message:

There's also a shot of a downtown area with "stroads", drive-throughs, and surface parking lots:

and a shot of a single-family neighborhood:


I think when the devs say "build every city" they mean every city, not just ones that internet urbanists like.

Yup. This is why they push the Strong Towns dogma so much, justifying their hatred of non-bughive people as "we're subsidizing you, pay up if you want it so much".

In addition to making life worse for everyone except for the ultra-rich, there is no "live and let live". They want to destroy you and your way of life, and will stop at nothing to achieving that goal.

 

[Useful_Mistake]

nor the fact that YouTube doesn't fucking work on Tor

Youtube works for me like 60% of the time, but Twitter doesn't 100% of the time.

 

[General Emílio Médici]

If the youtube doesn't load on Tor just copy-paste the url onto a clear web browser dude it isn't that hard.

 

[Falcos_Commisar]

All of those retarded car haters, especially the Europeans, deserve a mugging on the public buses they fetishize.

I don't think so, really.

Very true. I still haven't even fully explored Cities skylines 1, but CS:2 should hopefully be better optimized for non 2015 era computing hardware. I also can't wait for mod tools to make every vehicle a lifted pick-up truck.

It looks great. I'll wait for more info of course but this and Alan Wake 2 are going to be some great fun this fall/winter.

CityNerd visited Charlotte, NC for a Strong Towns conference. Charlotte, like all Democrat run cities, is trying to implement urbanist policies, but that doesn't stop this incredibly dry guy from complaining at every turn:

I Visited the World Capital of Sprawl, and I Have Thoughts:

Spoiler: YouTube

Or rather "visited" because half of the clips in the video are from Google Earth/Maps/Street View.

He complains about crosswalks being checkered flags near the NASCAR Hall of Fame:

I wonder if he's ever complained about rainbow crosswalks.

He also complains that a brand-new walkable transit oriented neighborhood has a "bougie" food hall:

I thought they liked having lots of restaurants within walking distance?

He then says that this road isn't a stroad even though it meets the "standard" definition of one (>2 lanes and driveways) because the city plans to extend a streetcar line down it and because it has apartment buildings along it:

More proof that "stroad" just means "thing I don't like".

He also complained about having to pay the true cost of bikesharing:

Pay your fair share cyclists! Don't expect drivers to subsidize your transportation choices!

He was also surprised that it is possible to walk in a car-dependent area and that they had sidewalks:


lol:


He virtue-signals about new urbanism gentrifiying poor black people out of their neighborhoods:

A lot of the people who live there love the new development because they can sell their houses for a ton of money.

He complains about a park-and-ride garage because it means that people still use cars:


He is sad that the mixed-use bike/walking trail is more popular than the light rail line next to it:


He's also mad that most residents choose to drive their "oversized vehicles" to the new restaurants instead of walking to them, but then he uses the fact that people come to businesses near apartment buildings as proof that increasing density isn't a top down decision made by the government (even though it is).

How do you drive from the suburbs into a place like this and not think, "Man, maybe I could live here"?

I don't know. Maybe because they don't have an autistic hatred for cars and maybe because they DON'T WANT TO LIVE IN A POD???

What the fuck's his solution then? Not do new urbanism? It's a well-known pattern that walkable places have increased prices.

He is sad that the mixed-use bike/walking trail is more popular than the light rail line next to it:

Wow, it's almost like people want their own personal form of transportation rather than having to wait for something else and rely on a schedule.

 

[Yamamura]

He complains about crosswalks being checkered flags near the NASCAR Hall of Fame:

What really gets me is when these guys complain about motorsports. These cars you see on the track are not road legal, because they're used exclusively for sport. Racecars aren't allowed on the road but these guys hate them as they were on every street corner. As if these cars that drive around in a circle on private property are a personal problem for them for some reason.

They're so rabid that anything that even remotely has to do with "car culture" gets them foaming at the mouth.

It's like gun control people complaining about airsoft because it promotes gun culture.

You can extend that a bit further and say their hatred for cars and their ability to democratize transportation at the personal level shows they have an overall disgust for any kind of independence and hard work. They want everything spoonfed to them like toddlers. Gotta go somewhere far where some service is only offered there? Wah wah that's unfair I want walkable city where everything is spoonfed to me. Though let's be honest bugmen channels and their fans don't have an interest for exploring and discovering new things and places to expand their perspectives.
