Ah, well thank neoliberal privatization for that. Thatcher and Reagan fucked their respective countries so damn hard to the benefit of their wealthy friends.
I wonder how many fuck cars people will buy a car when they finally graduate and get a job and realise they want 1 hr 30 commuting every day instead of 3 hours?
My wife and I own two cars and live outside the most urban parts of our city. I actually love cars, especially when I get to drive a standard transmission. But we both are firmly in the FuckCars camp.
We walk, bike, and use public transit when we can, and we vote to improve the pedestrian infrastructure in our area whenever we can. We love vacationing in places with good public transit, and would live in such places if circumstances allowed.
Part of the frustration in the FuckCars community is the very thing you said in your post. Cities are built around cars, which means every other form of commuting is secondary and therefore worse than it could be. This is what we want to change. Build cities around people. Get rid of massive parking lots, dangerous stroads, etc. If people need cars to get from city to city, or outside of cities, totally fine. But they shouldn’t be necessary for day-to-day in populated areas.
Cities could be so much better, and we know this because there ARE cities that are better. It just takes effort and time.
Yeah but God wrote the Bible, the Constitution, and the Star-Spangled Banner in English, so that means it’s God’s language. Y’all can suck our Freedom!
I find it hilarious that the imaginary 14th month gets to be called “12th” because (ostensibly) the early Romans couldn’t be bothered to have winter months.
You could order KitKat from the US. Hershey makes it here.
I wouldn’t recommend it though, Nestle KitKat is much better. It’s a shame Nestle is so evil or else I’d be driving over to Canada to stock up every few weeks.
This is similar to mine. I can detect the presence of nickel in an alloy at a certain concentration by how much it makes my skin tingle. Prolonged contact will result in a rash.
It absolutely is worth $7 for the less-than-a-month it will take to watch Ted Lasso. And honestly Apple TV has a surprising number of good shows.
Shrinking is another from Bill Lawrence that is worth a watch, starring Jason Segal and Harrison Ford.
Schmigadoon is great if you like musicals.
Mythic Quest is from many of the same minds behind Always Sunny.
And there are others that have been recommended to me that I’ve yet to try out. One of my coworkers has recommended Severance but I haven’t seen it yet.
Get ready to binge the entire show! I told myself, “I’ll watch the first few episodes” and two weeks later I had watched the entire first season three times. First by myself, then showed it to my fiancee, then showed it to my best friend.
Obviously you do you, but man I make a mean smash burger at home with deli-style American and an exceptionally simple seasoning of 4 parts salt, 1 part pepper.
Don’t get me wrong, bleu cheese on a burger is a solid choice. But I don’t really like cheddar on burgers nearly as much. Doesn’t melt the right way.
Kraft’s Deli-style is pretty good, too (comes in a pre-sliced block, like what restaurants use for burgers). Just don’t get the Kraft singles, which aren’t nearly as good in flavor or consistency.
