Nah, this doesn’t work. I tried to gently tell a guy at the gas station one time, in one of those huge lifted pickups, that he had his brights on (as a hint that his headlights were too fucking bright) and he freaked out on me, screaming, threatening, etc.

Well, as someone who’s seen pedestrians illegally and dangerously run across the street against the light, I don’t believe the word of pedestrians.

Actually no, that’s stupid. People are just people! You moron.

Why not just elevate one of the roads and have an exit/entrance for anyone who wants to switch? Having to turn right, merge, fucking u-turn, then immediately merge again just to GO STRAIGHT is the stupidest fucking thing.

That sucks, I’m sorry to hear that.

I’m asking out of curiosity, not trying to be accusatory: If there were perfect public service infrastructure that went everywhere you needed it to – let’s say the bus stop is directly outside your house, even – why would you still need a car?

Yes, I understand that. All you’re saying is that people’s perceptions of safety don’t match the reality of safety.

Car brains sneering at unhoused people and addicts, and not stopping to think about how a society that shuns public works might lead to these scaaaary daaaangerous people existing. Typical.

Ignoring deaths, because that’s related to accidents

Sure, if you ignore the things that make cars more dangerous, then public transit will look more dangerous.

This is so unfair. There are NUANCES and DIFFERENCES between the states!

For example, the billboards in Illinois have a washed-up football player advertising a hair regrowth product, while the billboards in Indiana are for strip clubs, weed dispensaries in other states, and telling you hell is real.
