I used to do all my work before 10:00 PM on the night shift and then read in between customers at my local gas station. Got chewed out and then decided to do everything slower while taking 5 minute breaks to “restock” the drinks. Overall, I still got my reading and I did less work.

Dipshit manager then says he was proud of me for doing more work. Work culture is entirely vibe based and has literally nothing to do with actual productivity.

Wait. What does Biden have to do with roe v Wade being overturned?

He and the Democrats failed to protect it given ample time and warning. Obama didn’t give a shit and literally said abortion rights weren’t a priority when he was in office. Then Biden, given ample opportunity refused and still refuses to take action to mitigate the decision.

but but seperation of powers and and…

No one gives a shit about separation of powers and what the government is constitutionally allowed to do when it comes to blowing the fuck out of civilians in the Middle East. You’re being a fed a line about how they can’t do shit because they don’t want to set a precedent of helping people in meaningful ways. When it comes to helping the average person, Biden says he has to follow separation of powers and the court’s decision. But when it comes to illegal wars, he doesn’t give a shit. You’re making excuses for people who would literally murder you to keep the economy going, that’s what Covid-19 proved.

I only support Trump in the sense that his wildly illegal actions drive the US Empire into the ground and expose how fucking corrupt and stupid our political system is.

If Hillary was elected, the whole Epstein thing would never have been a media sensation. The only reason it got so big is because dumbfuck Donald doesn’t have the political acumen to avoid shit like this. The more Donald Trump is in power, the more the seams that form this corrupt system start to unravel. I don’t think he’s significantly worse than Biden and Roe V Wade being overturned is proof. Biden is leading us into increasing escalations with China and Russia, continuing the covid deathcult, and presiding over an increasingly shit economic system while doing fuck all to stop it.

Do you plan to run a train through every grocery store, stop to unload at each stop, and still expect to get everything there at the same time?

We don’t live in a wildwest train town. Our cities are not built around trains and unless you plan to literally tear down the entirety of New York it will not work.

Even most delivery vehicles should be replaced by either cargo bikes or by spur lines off the railroad.

I just don’t think it’d be practical to fill entire grocery stores worth of stuff on bikes. You’re not dealing with a few packages of office supplies. You’re dealing with entire warehouse districts worth of stuff having to move across cities. Even with reduced consumption, the amount of people needed to transport that on bikes would probably be more than the local population.

Yep, and that’s why most people should ride bikes and then use public infrastructure as needed. But automobiles are still necessary, unless you mean to bike in all the equipment you’d find in an ambulance.

so a post-personal-car future is still viable

It takes 160,000 bicycles to incur the road maintenance cost of a single personal car.

Are we disagreeing here or are you just mentioning a statistic?

I think libs are under the (false) impression that roads are both completely mandatory in society

They kinda are in local transport to be fair. You can’t transport truck loads of stuff by bike to grocery stores. This necessitates some level of automobile road to get there. What’s unnecessary is regional/national roads for commerce. Most cities would still require road maintenance just for EMS and local commerce even if they had a robust public infrastructure. The good news is that buses can use these roads as well so a post-personal-car future is still viable. Roadless cities are not.

Works on my computer.

The Scat Man spoke out against shit like this. Don’t tarnish his good name for cheap jokes on social media man.

This is the only way a landlord will ever provide housing.

Running in the heat doesn’t make you a god-tier athlete. That’s what humans are literally built for dickhead.

I’ve started running less than a month ago and I can still do a 5k in 100+ degree heat.

I was listening to NPR today and some dipshit said it was a “Debt cancellation plan” then the idiot interviewer asked “But they still have to pay it all back right?” Dipshit said “Yes but with less interest so it’s still fulfilling Biden’s promise.”

I literally fucking screamed in my car. I have almost been killed by some drivers before but THIS is what caused me to flip my shit. I was so mad that I didn’t even feel bad when someone gave me a glare.

Also, this is the start week of college for most people which is probably a large portion of their userbase.

Do the style coin toss.

Don’t think about 9/11 24/7.

Walter, I fucked bread.

I was born with tenitus because I had shit tons of ear infections as a child. It kinda bothered me when I turned 18 and realized that it wasn’t the sound of silence.

Deaths from fucking car accidents which happen waaaaaaay more often in suburban and rural areas.

Only on a technicality. You’re never more than 5 minutes away from an ER in the city so of course you have a better chance to survive. Most small towns are 30 minutes away from an ER, if that. Unless you believe rural people are genetically pre-disposed to car accidents then the problem is lack of public infrastructure.

This has the same understanding as quoting FBI crime by race statistics without the overall societal context.

but that you’ve done the conservative thing where you take something how it is currently and decide that that’s how it is for all time. “Surrounded by cars, smog and noise” this is not an essential characteristic of cities.

“Man I hate my farming job because of shitty pay and long hours.”

“Uh actually, the shitty pay and long hours is not an essential characteristic of farming so you’re being a conservative.”

The possibility of things getting better does not make living in the city now any more pleasant.

The other issue is that your rhetoric plays into the conservative dichotomy of the cities as dirty and savage

Your pro-city rhetoric plays into the neoliberal dichotomy of cities being civilized places and rural areas being filled with country bumpkins. I don’t think you’re a neoliberal though because I can understand how sharing one view doesn’t mean you believe the same thing.

And third, this “cities suck I prefer the trees and nature” rhetoric always leads one place, and that’s to individualist, private landownership,

No it doesn’t. It literally does not mean this in any meaningful way. I specifically prefer the rural areas because I have better access to local community and state parks. My love for nature is just about the most collective it can be. I can’t believe people on hexbear are unironically stating it is individualist and supportive of landownership to enjoy nature.
