And besides, it's funny that he even brings up gyms in suburban areas because isn't this idiot always whining about the lack of "third places"?

It's because you can't drink beer in a gym. Whenever they talk about 3rd places German beer gardens are always brought up as an example so I assume the ability to drink and be publicly intoxicated is an important criteria.

The whole "gym of life" thing is such bullshit. Walking and casual cycling is good, but it's not really sports or training. You can find calisthenics parks, which are nice, but they're just not the same as heavy-ass weights.

Cities have a ton of fat people. I wonder how Jason copes with that fact.

The carbrained nature of cities prevents people from using the gym of life to its full potential.

 

[Kyria the Great]

The gym of life is instantly negated once you start having unhealthy food and guzzling it down with high calorie drinks like beer or soda. Really obesity is due to unhealthy food being cheap as shit. It's bad but at the same time due to advanced logistics structures that include cars, we don't have to worry about starvation.

Apparently Amtrak has a marketing campaign for gamers, especially the ones that want to be children again.

I think their target demographic has considerable overlap with anti-car soyboy bugmen.

Can you imagine the state of the poor train wagon after it is used to host a Melee tournament? The intensity of cleaning necessary to make it salubrious again would make the bombing of Dresden look like a damp sparkler.

At least it's not Magic or Yu-Gi-Oh tournaments. Guys heading to Pokemon tournaments and grinding out practice rounds on the Switch on the way might stink up the train too though.

 

[Briananderson1138]

I can’t help but imagine the thoughts of the marketing guy at Amtrak. ”Hmmm... who doesn’t like driving... a-ha! Weird nerds! What if we were to cater to them by installing all the stuff they need to play their video games! God, I’m such a genius! Time for another belt of flask whiskey.”

There is no way that Amtrak would let you set up a CRT in the train when they're stingier with carry-ons than airports are. There's photos floating around (probably at least 15+ years old at this point) of a morbidly obese black man who brought a cheap LCD TV onboard a subway and playing Xbox 360.

This is also coming from a service that is super-stingy about Wi-fi and what it's used for. If you wanted to tard around with YouTube videos on your commute, bad news.

There's like two more of them from different angles.

By the way, this is Amtrak's Wi-fi policy. (source)



Basically you might as well use your data because it's slow and cucked. Forget about playing online vidya.

Which serious gamer actually uses a motherfucking nintendo switch? Jusat buy a steamdeck and load it up with ROMS, also, it's not the 90's no one lugs their monitors around anymore. How can they be so out of mutherfucking touch?? Like, stop trying that hard. Also, the american passanger train system is hot trash anyway.

Amtrak tries to do anything except actually be competitive with driving. The only and best description of their quality of service is a literal cruise ship on steel wheels, and probably a really budget one at that like margarittaville or something alike but 50x the price and instead of overnighting in the bahamas your train kicks you out at 3am in the middle of nowhere in kansas.

Saw this image (source, archive) and wanted to talk about it briefly.

The marketing campaign for public transit being for people who would have the slimmest possible chances of wanting to use it over the car they're filling up aside, the thing that sticks out at me immediately is "why is this person using a plastic glove at the pump?" Well they were kind enough to answer:

This made me remember a weird comment from Jason awhile back:

Do canucks and euros have such dogshit infrastructure that their pumps leak fuel onto them? This has never once been a problem anywhere I've ever been in the states, no matter what middle-of-nowhere decades-old gas station I've gone to.

He's right, the first one, Diesel pumps do tend to become.... Dieselie over time, it doesn't evaporate like gasoline does so even a couple drops will dirty the handle. It's worse at the truck stops. I just carried a thing of hand sanitizer in the car and cleaned my hands after.

never had a problem with this in Bongland, whether unleaded or diesel
in my experience even ancient filling stations in the depths of Scotland and Wales, attached to shops, have been in good working order

also, "I forgot how gross gasoline is" - what a whiny little bitch, you can bet he's never done any kind of home maintenance work

I always wear gloves when pumping gas because, honestly, who knows how many people have touched that handle without washing their hands first? It’s dirty from what I'd call "regular use", not from the fuel itself
