Ty for the effort post. It’s all french to me so I was looking for arrows to nowhere, crooked lines, and messed up text.

Not trying to fight, just wanted to get some perspective of someone critical in a thread where everybody else is very positive. I didn’t read your username and didn’t notice I replied three times to the same guy.

What about it?

What’s too complicated exactly? They claim their program does precisely that. I believe you could review the code yourself.

Sorry you live in an undeveloped country.

I feel like I’m repeating myself

Developed countries have robust and reliable energy grids while undeveloped countries do not. That’s real life.

Where are bikes in that analogy? Because they’d work amazingly in rural areas were it not for cars

While this captures some important similarities between the two, I think you missed the most important that makes OP’s thought valid.

Both are individualistic approaches, unlike centralized energy generation or public transit, which are collectivist approaches. While the former grants greater independence to wealthy enough individuals, the latter is much more efficient and grants liberty regardless of personal wealth. For the individual in a fragmented and individualistic society, the former makes a lot more sense (especially since they cannot build a big energy plant or rail line). As a society, it’s several orders of magnitude more meaningful to push for the latter.

Sorry you live in an undeveloped country.

OP is kinda advocating for a sensible public transport where schedules don’t matter due to frequent intervals and with a dense network of stops that are walkable. Possibly supplemented by car sharing or cargo bike sharing for the rare occasions someone has to transport something bigger than a week’s groceries.

The car is a crutch we need while society and politics fail to achieve okay public transit.

That website was the first thing I thought about when I saw the post. Great content too!

At least urban tank drivers can see you before they obliterate you

whatever you say shit for brains

In the current internet it’s sadly necessary to enforce very strict rules to keep the space civil. The vast majority of active users are trolls (just look at the success of Toilet Paper’s Kirk’s campaigns against intellectuals). Keeping bro-culture out is not a bad idea since it’s a quite toxic culture often hostile towards women and queer persons.

If you’re looking for bro spaces, go somewhere (or create a comm) that’s accepting of it. If you like the space, simply follow the rules.

There is no difference between patriotism and nationalism. Both instill pride in non-achievements (like being born in the right place) while degrading others for the offense of being born somewhere else.

must be nice

Maybe try touching a little grass too

I’m with you but the snark is a bit much

Take it as a learning opportunity, and maybe consider reading a book some time
