Not Just Bikes / r/fuckcars / Urbanists / New Urbanism / Car-Free / Anti-Car - People and grifters who hate personal transport, freedom, cars, roads, suburbs, and are obsessed with city planning and urban design

[Yamamura]

Today is Thanksgiving and people all around America are getting together to share a meal with their extended family.
Sadly for urbanists, they weren't invited and can only seethe impotently at others having fun:

My honest reaction to them:

Like what is the point they're trying to make here? It's been established, yes people drive trucks. Yes people meet with each other during holidays. Fuckcars sounds like an angsty teenager trying to find things to be upset about (which they have the mentality of). This really does feel similar to reading posts on r/atheism years ago where they're complaining about fundies gathering and instead of using the word "sky daddy" they have words like "emotional support vehicle". They don't want to admit it but that's what they've become really.

 

[Tootsie Bear]

They are missing the forest for the trees.

Based on the elevation of the photo, the poster lives in one of those 500k+ houses.
+ He just got back from a trip to Europe.

Just an extremely spoiled brat.

Amen. I checked his Reddit profile and he's from Nashville, TN. He did one where he mentioned of moving to New England. Browsing if seems that the more liberal have either moved or are in the process of moving to more liberal states; where's the comment on conservative Californians moving to TN.

Well, three things to that:
1. Childrens' bedrooms are usually upstairs, and a lot of TV shows/movies have children as the main characters.
2. Going down the stairs is usually more dramatic than just going toward the kitchen.
3. It's all sets anyway.

For the last several decades, houses have a "master bedroom" which is a larger bedroom than the others, and the "master bathroom" which usually has two sinks and a larger shower. The master bedroom is almost always downstairs.

The master bedroom in a lot of McMansions are upstairs.

 

[In the Sick of It]

The master bedroom is almost always downstairs.

This isn't really that common, at least not in the parts of the US I'm familiar with. A lot of the new builds still put the master bedroom upstairs, though I did see one neighborhood that had it on the middle floor (with a basement level below and the other bedrooms upstairs). That builder said it was starting to become more of a thing people want but it's definitely not an "almost always" thing.

They've also started calling it the "owners" bedroom because god forbid someone gets offended at the word "master."

The weird part about this post is that house is huge, clearly your above average sized suburban home as is the one next door so we can assume the person taking the photo must live in a similar home

100% this is some idiot teenager or Chris chan tier manchild

Same shit in IT. It's the primary drive because muh slavery

And also the term "Man in the middle attack" has also been renamed because muh feminism.

 

[Verpa Teutonica Ingens]

And also the term "Man in the middle attack" has also been renamed because muh feminism.

They call it an "on-path attack" now, which sounds a bit more like an injection attack in a URL or filesystem path than a man-in-the-middle attack.

I guess "monkey in the middle" would've attracted screeching about racism instead.

The only reason I can see to putting the Master bedroom on the ground floor is if Boomers live there so they don't have to go up the stairs in their old age.

Which happens to be Homebuilders’ primary audience.

As much as I dislike the poor design and construction of modern american trucks, those mcmansions are more offensive to every sense than an overpriced SUV pretending to be a truck. This also tells me that the faggot OP is a spoiled bitchboy if his parents are able to make payments on a shoddy $750k copy paste vinyl veneer disaster house like that so he's gay and his opinions are void.

I don't think I've ever been in a multi-floor house that has the master bedroom on the main floor? Not saying it is or isn't common but I've never seen it.

Ah ok, opinion disregarded.

There is something interesting about this new wave of truck hate. I mean I don't personally care about lifted trucks myself and I think most people didn't until it became popular to start hating them. They try to hide behind the justification of "oh it COULD run over a child". But if we were measuring things based on what they hypothetically could do then there would be a lot of other things they should hate as well.

It brings home the idea that the truck itself is irrelevant. It's the drivers which they hate because they imagine them as the right wing strawmen in their minds.

 

[x3firehexx]

They call it an "on-path attack" now, which sounds a bit more like an injection attack in a URL or filesystem path than a man-in-the-middle attack.

Which is somehow even worse, given it completely misses what a MITM attack is even about.

On path attack. Where? What path? At which point, from what side? Between what, and between how many??
God, this is idiotic. Terms should be as clear and descriptive as they can, while also being brief and self explanatory, and easily explainable to someone w/o much technical knowledge.

There exists a variation of this called "Man in the browser" attack, where the attack is from the browser end, this is, also a on path attack, since it happens somewhere on the path. Now we've got the same term describing two similar sounding but very different thing

Man in the middle attack is clear, descriptive and self explanatory. It describes a attack that involves a attacker in a path, in the middle between two points. I do not see what is wrong with that, and i refuse to go along with this politically correct bullshit, and im saying this as someone who actively codes and is involved in IT.

I know this has been discussed but here's a 1960 ad (source) for something we might call a SUV. Dunning-Kruger urbanists think SUVs weren't invented until the late 1980s.

That is a genuine SUV, based of an IH half-ton chassis.

Based New Yorker makes urbanist transplants seethe:

Minor thing that may be missed for those not familiar with NYC. The transplant says that he lives in Park Slope. Vickie Paladino represents the Queens neighborhoods of College Point, Whitestone, Beechhurst, and parts of Flushing and Bayside. Her district is almost exclusively low density middle class neighborhoods full of single family houses with a few apartments here and there. Park Slope is an extremely wealthy medium-high density neighborhood in Brooklyn, full of historic townhomes and is miles away from her district. The bugman implies that because he once took transit to visit her district, no one in her district needs cars.

This is what the urbanist did (directions from a ~15-spot parking lot near the 2-3 train (where he says he lives) to a random school in her district):

(There is a slightly faster route, but he said that he took the 7 train to the end of the line)

If he had driven instead, it would have him taken less than half the time:


I wonder why born-and-raised New Yorkers with families don't want their roads dieted to anorexia and their parking destroyed?



I bet you the people of Park Slope would strongly object to their brownstones being replaced with 100 story tall condo towers, so Mr. YIMBY in the video is likely just as much as a NIMBY as the people he hates.

So I guess that's what the "advocacy" he's talked about in the past has been, literally just sitting around and being worse than useless by actively getting in everyone's way.

So I guess that's what the "advocacy" he's talked about in the past has been, literally just sitting around and being worse than useless by actively getting in everyone's way.

What's the best solution in this case?

1) Pulling them out and see if their "non-violence" posturing still holds up
2) "Accidentally" spilling bottled fox urine right near their face
3) CRUNCHCRUNCHCRUNCH

Cyclist stops in a semi truck's blind spot and predicably gets hit:

/r/fuckcars shared this twice:

People tell us to be aware of blind spots but they're carbrained so we should disregard their advice:

The government should mandate blind spots away:

If only they had put a tiny curb, the cyclist wouldn't have been hit (as if a truck that size won't climb it without even noticing):


Drivers are wearing body armor so cyclists must carry guns:

The truck driver should be forced to ride a bike to understand how cyclists feel:

The cyclist did everything right! Stopping in the middle of a truck's blind spot is perfectly acceptable:

The cyclist looks bad in this video.

So the entire point of a die in is to pretend you are dead, lay on the floor, block several major routes, causing massive traffic jams causes people to idle their cars thus waste fuel creating more pollution, thus waste money on fuel, result in them hating you because you wasted their money. You also created a shit ton of carbon dioxite completely negating the point of this
