Even when I'm stuck in traffic (which doesn't happen often- and even if it does happen the traffic quickly resolves itself) at least I can sit in a comfy chair, with AC set to a pleasant temperature even if it's 35C outside; and the best part is that thanks to ACC the car drives itself. I don't mind traffic.
You can always get an N-Gauge layout, but those things are fiddly as owt and it's still around £200 for a starter set.
If Jason wanted a liberal government he could always, I dunno, go back to his own fucking country?
I think the F-150 would look nice as a sedan myself.if the F150 looked more like this I don't think it'd attract so much ire (or buyers)
I'm amused every time they mention planes.
Honestly, as far as lefty memes go, this one ain't too bad. While unoriginal and uninspired, it is short, punchy, and some of it is even accurate. If this was a middle schoolers satire project I would give them a solid B-, good job r/fuckcars poster!One of them got banned /r/Libertarian for brigading them with the meme.
Even the "left-libertarians" who populate that sub can't stand the urbanists:
If you're going to factor in imaginary numbers like "social costs", I've got some very bad news for black people.
I don't think any of them know how logistics work at all or where their stuff comes from.
It might be hard to work out exactly where something in your hand came from, but it's not terribly hard to work out "in theory" what kind of logistics are needed once you stop to think about it. But they don't - they've outsourced thinking to China.
In the USA bikes are considered vehicles that need to obey all traffic laws, they just don't, since they are never policed and have no registration.
The small planes that fly put of these are barely louder than a car. They also see a lot lower traffic levels than you'd think, so you don't have planes taking off and landing constantly.
Cars also let you do stuff like get paid to help other people. Getting paid 10 or 20 bucks for giving someone you work with a ride home adds up quick for negligible gas and time. Let's see you help someone move with a bike.
I think if more people knew about the basic logistics of how the world works it would change their whole world view and also blow their minds. I remember someone posting here about how fruit would get picked in South America, it would get shipped to a Southeast Asian country for processing and packaging, only to get shipped from there to Europe and the USA for consumption. What kind of fucked up corruption would it take for that to be financially viable?
The "Idaho stop" codifies that bikes are faggots and should be hated: https://legislature.idaho.gov/statutesrules/idstat/title49/t49ch7/sect49-720/ (a)
This is huge for poorer people and it's easy to forget the time of "ass, grass, or gas, nobody rides for free". Even as an adult with a normal house you still can greatly reduce vehicle costs by knowing a few friends with different types.
Autism?
I've heard of that strategy before. Not to reveal too much about where I am, but there was a local industrialist around here who was into oil and natural gas. His entire home was lit using natural gas lamps because he refused to give money to the electric company when he has his own fuel source for basically free.
That's what someone said the Crown Vic/Town Car feels like to drive. Imagine driving the F-150 as a car.
I wholehearted encourage them to do this. I will even sign petitions and maybe contribute to them doing this, as it would be hilarious beyond believe.
Yeah it's crazy how internet has changed the definition of community. It's not just a group of people, it's a group of people who actually help and support each other. Your discord buddies won't help you move or fix your broken dishwasher, they just exist to whinge and talk to.
There used to be a bunch of videos of bicycle couriers in NYC, who spent all day racing as fast as possible through traffic and sidewalks breaking every law along the way. The whole time barely dodging cars and pedestrians.
It's the easiest thing in the world to take over a small (less than 1000 people) town and basically do whatever you want and put your ideology in practice. Cults do it all the time.
It was the last full framed vehicle available, plus it's wide spread use in law enforcement means there's still a lot available and parts are cheap.
Usually centrally planned communities fail because they forget the most important reason people live somewhere: employment. Without income generation making it viable, you just have a neighborhood that you commute to. You could even cut out the middle man and just have the factory pay you in factory money so you don't even need to go to the bank! Keep it all on site and never interact with those car brained retards again.
You'd think places like this would be the ultimate compromise, you have walking/bike/golf cart paths going everywhere. It was a fairly wealthy suburb of Atlanta, so you have all the benefits these idiots were looking for. Except it's still in the Southeast, so enjoy your 95 degree days out in the sun. It was basically a city built around the idea of golf course neighborhoods. Plenty of cart paths all over and cart path alleyways between streets and yards so you are kept fairly segregated from vehicle traffic. It felt like something you'd design in a video game. I haven't been there in a decade so I don't know what it's like now.
Based they should pick Detroit (The Motor City) to show those damn Car-brains.
I like the fact that they think that "subscriber count" means "will be willing to give up their location to build a new city".
Hilarious that they're fantasizing about living in a game about an agrarian lifestyle, but the whole point of their movement is they're supposed to be URBANists not ruralists. Wait until they realize, "Wait I have to bike 7 miles to get to town? Everything isn't within walking distance like my vidya games?""We could live in Stardew Valley":
A fool and his money are soon parted. Wait till they realize they can't grow anything because farming isn't like a video game. It's going to become like the Tenacious Unicorn Ranch where they need to buy all their food from the nearby car dependent town in secret. Living off the grid is Hell. It would be hilarious if they're charging their e-bikes using a gas generator and producing as much carbon emissions as if they were driving.
You could totally replicate what they want for not that much money. You'd just have to hire a team to find an appropriate small town within (gasp) commuting distance of a real city, and then buy the damn town. Basically, you want something with the bare minimum, so a post office, grocery store or walmart, hardware store, what have you, the common core of a small town - finding one where everything is within four square miles, which should be totally possible. Buy up all the properties, get on the city council, and spend the money to route the highway around it, and ban cars within the city.
There's a lot you can do to reduce your reliance on society but do you really think these fucks would even consider reducing their food bill by killing and eating wild game?
This shit's awesome. I'd absolutely move there and bear living in Texas to do it./r/fuckcars discovers plane-centric communities and is outraged:
