  • I haven't had broadcast or cable TV for at least a decade now. The major news/media outlets hold very little interest given their approach to generally being informative in any serious way. So, no, our household doesn't watch TV.

  • There it is. Thank you for the great summary of the tautology that is reveleation-based religion. In the end, it all boils down to a presup argument with no basis and dries up under even a modicum of analysis.

  • That's the Fox News (or similar) pus leaking out of OP's head. Up until that line they were sorta on a basic "I don't understand why people value reason over superstition" track, but then veered into crazyland.

  • Given the depth of the thinking here, and the desire to have guns in all situations, it's only a matter of time until they add a 4th box with the "armed response unit" that's only "supposed to be used in the most dire of situations".

    Anything other than dealing with the underlying problem means anything.

  • I'd rather living in a very dense area with walkable/trainable infrastructure than spend my whole live idling in a car and going nowhere.

    Atlanta sounds like a livingspace hellscape.

  • We've started putting similar memorials up around our city when pedestrians biking are killed by car drivers. It's getting pretty scary just how many we need to make. There's even some spots where we almost had to put two on the same street corner (the biker lived after a hospital stay), and we've only been doing it for a year!

  • I've had these very conversations with people. Our local public transit / biking advocacy group does presentations, works with local politicians, and runs events to promote biking, transit, and safe streets.

    Unless it's a group that's already 100% on board with pedestrian support needs, someone will complain that there's not enough parking where a bike road should be. This is in a city where over 30% of downtown is open air parking lots, plus the roads, and then on street parking.

    This comic isn't funny, it's just a straight up depiction of our experiences here.

  • That's not a pedestrian bridge. A pedestrian bridge is designed to efficiently get pedestrians from one place to another.

    That's a monument or memorial. It's potential a cultural art center or other city resource to make the space interesting/informative/engaging. Calling it a pedestrian bridge isn't doing it justice.

    That said, I'm in strong favor of pedestrian resources and cities building interesting architecture to make the city itself interesting & beautiful, but this one's ugly as fuck and shouldn't be built.

  • The old trolley maps of Seattle are amazing. So many routes! It went everywhere.

  • I've spent months in Berlin. The trains usually come every 5 mins during the day, and the main bus lines about every 10 minutes. I never really worked at scheduling when to hit a train on time unless I was either way late at night or if I was under serious scheduling pressure myself.

    Real transit infrastructure is wonderful to live with. Fuck having a car, I'm 100% on board with never having to drive again.

  • Hey look at that: he's was anti-union all along. Having the various Union leaderships endorse him in the election was some of the most Leopard Face-Eating Party shit I've ever seen.

  • Pedophiles covering for pedophiles. It's the GOP way!

  • What money? I guess they'll need some in about... two years or so for rural broadband? That's about time to buy some election influence again.

  • That''s an article summarized as: "Wannabe fascist dictator finally admits he's up for having the government begin torturing and killing people he doesn't like."

  • "a lot more people everywhere live paycheck to paycheck as migrant workers than you probably think"

    The percentage of Americans living paycheck to paycheck is insanity. I haven't seen Canada's numbers, but the US is barely surviving.

  • Brilliant! Let's also plan on self driving cars to increase total throughput and completely block out pedestrians on the street so the cars can go zoom zoom... Until induced demand locks it all up again.

  • That happened to me in SF/Mountain View. I was down there for an interview. I'd never visited the region before. It's like Mad Max on the freeways.

    At a red light a woman decided she wasn't going to wait four cars back. Instead she just pulled over the curb, drove over lawns and headed down the road. No honking, just plowing across property to skip a light. We caught up to her at the next red light.

  • Days that end in 'y'. Or 'g' when you're in Deutschland.
