I spend a fair bit of time in 'Murica

There is an entertainment area about a twenty minute walk away from where I stay

I'd happily walk it, but it's genuinely unwise to do so, so I end up taking ubers

It's something that I find disappointing

An 82-year-old female said she had been driving a 2013 Ford Edge SUV going west on Country Club Road. She stated that she thought she hit something, turned around to check the area, but didn’t see anything, so she continued her journey home.

For some reason its normal this lady can drive. Yep, sure thing, we'd help you open a door for worry of your frailty but you can totally chuck an 8 ton hunk of metal down the road.

Fuck this sucks.

Here's an article about him skating 5,500km across Australia:

Well at least she was nice and safe in her rolling fortress.

He wasn't shot, so that's a nice change. /s

FUCK CARS...especially fuck that this asshole won't suffer anything worse than a slap on the wrist for KILLING someone.

Guess they picked the wrong country to rollerblade in /s

Remember, people who don't live here:

Our rails are almost all shut down, public transit is a joke in all but a few small areas, roads are dangerous to bike or walk on with many not even having a shoulder let alone a reasoable place for traffic that isn't motorized.

You slmost have to have a car here, by incredibly shitty design.

And then the cars, now...

Between the fact that nobody makes a decent car anymore, they all fall apart just about the time your lease is up so you can't even own one only sign eternal contracts for landfill bait, all of them spy on you, and have beacons that are tracked by countless parts of our surveillence capitalism infrastructure on top of sending their own reports on you to the automaker who then sells it to anyone ad everyone, insurance is insanely expensive, and now gas is nuts, as well... And if you have a diesel?

I don't own a car anymore, and am not in an area with passable public transit. I have one chance a week, insanely early in the morning, to catch a buss for an eight hour trip that would take one by car to get to a hub... Which doesn't even have decent local transit for the town, but does have a meeting of interstates so you can catch other busses to other cities. At leaast those city connections run at least once a day instead of a week.
