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

[Irene and 22 others]

Bad news. Wily cops and DA's in a good number of places are starting to charge people with OWI ("Operating While Intoxicated") for running those things while they're blasted.

Operating any kind of motorized vehicle while intoxicated/impaired is usually enough to qualify. I think my favorite are riding mower DUIs.

Another country song that will cause Jason and the r/fuckCars community to seethe.

Kane Brown's (Mullatto nigger but this is a really good song) Backseat Driver: Singing about the innocence of young daughters.

Every normal person will tear up while the chronic alcoholics will seethe that it's indoctrinating children into Car Culture.

Doesn't even have to be motorized,, just a "vehicle".

DUI in an Amish buggy or plain horseback is a yearly thing here.

I realize in my last post that the way that urbanists probably move is utilizing friends with cars, just as they inevitably do when they need a ride. There's a lot of groups who are ungrateful hand-biting scum, but few of these types go out of the way to make said group miserable.

Dude was riding in the middle of the street and presumably 5 mph, that's when you draw attention to yourself. The minute you enter the street you're on public grounds.

On that note, when it comes to drunk driving, cops look for tells and abnormalities, including not using lights properly, not driving straight, being too slow (and not "Granny's driving five miles below the speed limit" but something REALLY obvious), being too fast, or doing something clearly retarded (ignoring all DO NOT ENTER/WRONG WAY) signs.

Given proper tags and no tells, you can probably skate along for years without a DUI.

/r/fuckcars asks "what exceptions to the car ban should we have in our dream city?"

Answer:

While that is pure in full effect (and rather telling) the fact that they barely mention delivery vehicles as well.

That being said, we (in the US) transport WAY more by truck than would be efficient.
Vans are optimal for some last-mile deliveries, but semis shipping between distribution centers are way less efficient and more expensive than trains. But sadly, the taxpayer pays most of those costs through road maintenance and pollution, and so the corporations take advantage of it.

What does this assclown know about shipping or logistics at all? If you look at a modern distribution center, there's hundreds of truck docks, if you simplify that to half of them are outgoing (which would need trucks) and half of them are incoming, it's coming in from lots of other facilities, where they'll get consolidated into a single group for an outgoing shipment.

The other thing about rail shipping is that you would need the whole train to basically be coming from a single source (single train), and for anything else the facility needs to be far larger...which is counter-intuitive for people claiming that space is at a premium.

i would much rather prefer cars to be so expensive that only the wealthy can own one,

These retards are arguably the kings of saying the quiet part out loud. Repeating verbatim the line used against EV mandates and NHTSA/EPA regs.

>assuming they have friends
Jokes aside, either that, or Uber, or it turns out actually have vehicles and just sperg about shit online

I have very little trust on the actual integrity of these types

Jason is going to Korea (shame it's not the north variety):

Spoiler: Pic in Post

He mispelled the name of the river by the way, it's Cheonggyecheon.

Korea loves EVs and in particular has been going all in on autonomous vehicles the past few years so I'm wondering if he'll apply the same level of scrutiny that he does to North America or if it'll just be rose-tinted glasses for him because muh Samsung "city".

I hope he spergs out at the sight of all their cars and wide roads and gets arrested. Johnny Somali needs an English-speaking cellmate.

Reminder that this is what a typical arterial road in Korea looks like:

Answer:

Reminds me of a quote by Mortimer at the end of a New Vegas quest:

He would've driven the price of beef down to the point where any poor wretch could afford it. Can you imagine? But now we can price it even higher, create a new luxury market. Not for you, of course. You'll get a special discount.

It's funny despite calling themselves communists I've never seen anyone hate the working class as much as they seem to.

It's funny despite calling themselves communists I've never seen anyone hate the working class as much as they seem to.

They're a bunch of greedy fucks that are envious of anyone with more wealth than them. They hate those that are richer than them because of simple avarice, and they hate the poor as the poor typically have more social wealth (Good family, friends, community, etc.). Its the reason why they are so quick to declare themselves communists, socialists, environmentalists and the like; they want to seem more "morally wealthy" than everyone else so they can sit on their high horse of empty platitudes telling others what to do.

A working class is antithetical to a communist state. There must only be a lower class and a ruling class, the working class would put far too much power into the hands of the people and they might demand things like representative governments and an increased standard of living.

I find it more hilarious that the modern communist movement is mostly bored rich first worlders.

If the horse is drunk but you're not does that still count as a DUI?

I've been the friend with car but my buddy's been good to me (treats sometimes or pays for parking) so I'd say he's one of the good ones.

Helps that he's worked in logistics and has real life experience so his urbanism is a lot milder, more in the Paradox game/technocrat sense of "there is a perfect form of organization and all we have to do is reach it, and in transport, that's more (not all) people taking mass transit".

Korea loves EVs and in particular has been going all in on autonomous vehicles the past few years so I'm wondering if he'll apply the same level of scrutiny that he does to North America or if it'll just be rose-tinted glasses for him because muh Samsung "city".

If their EV's are all as comfy and smooth to drive as the Hyundai Ioniq 5 I can see why. Those are pretty luxury of a model, though, I'd like to see how the less tricked-out cars stack up. I don't like fiddling with the touch screen either but that's just me.

Its the reason why they are so quick to declare themselves communists, socialists, environmentalists and the like; they want to seem more "morally wealthy" than everyone else so they can sit on their high horse of empty platitudes telling others what to do.

A great blend with the technocratic impulse described in my friend above. I know a guy who has the urbanism worse (diagnosed tism) who admitted to me he's a fuckcars member, lefty talking points, male in feminist's clothing. I don't bother posting about him since he's such a stereotype you wouldn't believe he's real.

 

[Internorth Inc]

I don't like fiddling with the touch screen either but that's just me.

I remember reading an article that Hyundai is going to return to having more buttons and knobs in their future models. Supposedly focus group tests showed that consumers preferred a tactile dashboard to a touchscreen (I know I do).
If true, it'll still take a while to actually see those models hit dealers.

I know they might not be commies if they speak like this, but its funny to say this when even the soviets produced the Lada, a shitbox car aimed at the average working joe even in commieshit countries

The model T was also advertised as the people's car even when they were early luxury items meant for the uber rich, both capitalism and muh communism at one point agreed that the people deserved a vehicle, and not just rich cunts

 

[Xarpho's Return]

Probably because Americans were winning on the better quality of life issues. Remember, the communists still believed in stuff like advanced technology, patriotism, and the importance of hard work—something these people don't believe at all.

The distribution center example means urbanism "efficiency" is less cold, calculated Factorio-style efficiency, and more fanciful SimCity "efficiency" with the cheats turned on.

A true efficiency expert would know that "waste reduction" would be necessary in a perfect system.

Trump cut off $60 million of federal funds to "study" (NOT BUILD) a high speed rail line between Dallas and Houston. This study was one of the final things that Biden started in his term, so it's unlikely that any work was actually done.

Austin is only making progress because the rest of the state is forcing them to build stuff; if left to their own devices it'd be impossible to get anywhere in that city:


It's not fiscally conservative to cut useless studies because roads cost money:

Will they stop the Wamuo glazing as I know the only reason China has rail because it's cheaper, it's cheaply made and flight is superior for passengers in every way where China sorely lacks.

Not only that but China is a far more totalitarian government than most of the west. Authoritarians love rail for the control it gives them over the populace.
