  • Yeah, I hate driving, but it just sucks that this comm is more interested in insulting me for needing a car than helping me avoid the thing I hate. I sold my car last year… and now I have to borrow a car to get to therapy each week because a ten minute drive is an hour away on the bus, and that bus only comes by once every four hours. Cycling is not an option because it’s a truck route and I’ve already been run off the road once on a bike.

    I really want to love this community, but it’s pretty clear that the general opinion is that I don’t deserve transit because my government isn’t listening to me. Like, holy shit, if you want to attend the public opinion meetings at my transit authority, they’ll send a car to pick you up because it’s not serviced by bus, and that’s better than most of the US. But I’m the carbrain when I complain about how unusable transit is.







  • When I talk about how much I miss the 90s McDonalds, I’m mostly complaining about the loss of a third space. My parents would go to McDonalds so we had a safe, climate-controlled, indoor play space, and we could spend hours there for the price of something off the dollar menu.

    I don’t know of anywhere comparable these days. Anything indoors is going to be expensive, you have to get the city to unlock the local hoops, the cops start asking questions if you just want to hang out with friends, and if you have too many friends they make you get a permit to use the public park.
