:data-laughing:

did this dude just call deflating tires terrorism

Terrorism is when you deflate tires, and the more tires you deflate the more terrorist you are.

Deflating all tires on all trucks in a suburban cul de sac equals at least five 9/11s, six if you also incude the jet ski and dirt bike trailers.

Technically they are, in a sort of “your terrorists are our freedom fighters” sense.

You have people in the comments saying stuff like “GOD DAMN LIBERALS SHOULD TRY THIS IN TEXAS!!! I DARE THEM!!!”

Same Texan: “We need to administrate Austin from the statehouse so they can’t try this in Texas!!!”

Yeah, I’m sure Texans don’t sleep.

what if someone gets in their car and doesn’t notice that before going 60mph and then the tyre blews and sends them careening into a group of cookie selling girl scouts, have you considered this

The car ding dongs that tires have no air. Unless they literally dont look at their dashboard at all it shouldn’t happen, and even if it did happen, driver is still at fault.

And if it’s flat flat you’ll notice as soon as you try to move an inch.

well what if the car ding dong also fails and the suv gets up to 100mph because the driver was speeding a bit and then they careen into a nuclear power plant and chernobyl 2.0 the usa. what then, i ask you

How many deflated tires does it take to equal one 9/11?

One tyre is two 9/11s

Damn, Osama was going about it all wrong

Their advocacy for a 15 minute city is fundamentally flawed. Cars are the fastest means of transportation, even with traffic.

Even in the best circumstances for public transportation, commute times are, at the minimum, twice as long as a car.

:what:

Evidence: I stuck my head up my own ass

They did link a study, but that’s a single one that goes against just about every mainstream thought of urban planning. Even the car brain engineers I know say that America’s lack of fast public transportation is pathetic compared to the world

Yeah, fuck it, I’d take a 1.5hr train ride instead of my commute, what the fuck is this guy talking about? It’ll be cheaper and I’d get some more podcasts in.

That’s the best circumnstance they can imagine? My shitty transit system here can run at less than half the speed of car and it needs serious work.

Even if you went back to 1920 with old trams and the first shitty subways it would still be better than horse carriages. Nothing changed, actually it only got worse in comparison.

it’s hilarious how these people contort themselves into knots to justify the reality today when in actuality these same car companies dismantled the very railroads that were a threat to their bottom line

Fun fact: cars go faster and stop less in the Netherlands and Switzerland

i heard they remove the brakes

That’s a common misconception, the breaks are still there but there’s also a bomb that goes off if they stop moving

I was in Japan recently. I decided to take the Shinkansen one direction and an airplane back, thinking the rail would be slower but more relaxed while the plane would save me time. The train picked up right from downtown and dropped me off within five minutes of my hotel. Commuting to and from the airports added two hours to my trip. Security added another hour. And then the plane was delayed on the tarmac as they de-iced the wings.

In the end, I only saved 30 minutes on what was supposed to be a 4 hour reduction in travel time.

Now just imagine doing that shit in a car. Jesus fucking Christ.

but in japan they thank you in traffic by do in a little wink with the windshield whiper, i heard.

:comfy:

It’s so much better. More room. Can get up to go to the bathroom easily. Interesting scenery along the way. Can buy a cheap meal at the station before getting on.

but I don’t get to tail behind the driver in front of me and shoot at him and miss and hit some bystander driver’s 5 month old child on the opposite side of the highway

Now just imagine doing that shit in a car. Jesus fucking Christ.

I don’t have to imagine. I once got suck on a 6 hour traffic jam on the Tomei Expressway. 6 hours to crawl 80kms before we tapped out.

They are kings with Jester’s privilege. An Emperor-Jester’s privilege if you will (I’m not good at names).

They can say whatever they want and it will be taken as gospel. They determine the truth, not any paper or research.

Even if that’s true, who gives a shit? You can’t have infinite oil, more people die from cars, everyone wants to kill each other over parking, and gas fluctuates based on the whims of random suits
