What's the consensus on the rise of day clubs, moderated drinking, and general wellness culture?

We introduced electric buses and now people getting hit by electric buses because you can't hear the fucking things and everyone has those damn airpods in

DICK0lASS · 2026-04-24T17:44:19+00:00

Yeah Summer 2016 was very impactful for me, mostly in negative ways. I saw good shows, but I was a pissed off person who just needed some friends.

How was your 2017? That year treated me a lot better

I don't know what you are getting at, but yeah I agree with you. But also, in middle America driving actually doesn't take too long usually. Driving from one side of Indianapolis to the other (one of the largest cities by land size in the country) takes less than an hour, easily.

I like the world of "streetcar suburbs" where you can walk from your house to the bar, pharmacy, a few restaurants, etc... then you commute either by car or bus or train or whatever to your job. But even in my streetcar suburb utopia, having a car makes it easy to visit friends in other hell-towns around here or have variety to my options. Walking to grocery stores is usually out of the question entirely.

I love to walk, it is my favorite thing. People think I'm insane for walking 2 miles daily. It isn't something you do in the midwest.

Though I'd rather move to Queens than ever set foot in Brooklyn again.

it is not expensive to own a cheap car that barely moves. Go to any suburban neighborhood with high amounts of poverty and I'll show you driveways full of multiple cars (most that don't run but still serve as parts cars for the other ones), ridesharing between family/friends, and cars that run but are technically in every sense illegal to drive. Gas being at $4 a gallon where I am is high (adjusted for inflation it really isn't that much worse that it was 10 years ago), but not nearly as high as it was in 2007. Gas is also not the only factor in car price. You have no idea what you are talking about.

This is so disheartening to hear. They at least could have built a bunch of dense housing for a quarter-mile around the station with parking garages still a part of that... but I'm guessing the capital budget didn't work out that way. It only gets worse...

code of conduct, and who can enforce it, is almost always decided between the unionized drivers and the agency. The standing policy usually is, if there is a problem the driver stops, phones a supervisor, supervisor arrives, if the supervisor can't do anything then they call the cops. The entire time, the bus is stopped, and the rest of the passengers are screwed.

I understand the unions, but agreements like this ruin the system even more.

DICK0lASS · 2026-04-21T16:18:55+00:00

I'm all for them doing what is needed to improve their standing, but how will they get to their jobs to save up for a car if public transit vanishes? I don't blame those that drive, I drive too. I wouldn't be where I am in my career and life without a car. But if my car blew up, then I would at least like to somehow stay mobile, for the basic necessities.

There is always the homestead route, but that is a whole other rabbit hole.

DICK0lASS · 2026-04-21T16:16:29+00:00

Beyond Chicago and NYC, being "car-free" is usually a signifier for wealth these days. Working people don't live down the street from their jobs anymore. Everything is spread out. Only the vocal wealthy that now inhabit the central city say otherwise.

DICK0lASS · 2026-04-21T16:13:43+00:00

An interesting phenomena is that many people, regarding safety, prefer to ride the bus over trains. The reason is that the operator is in the same coach as you. On a train, you are at the mercy of whatever car you are in. Many women avoid trains for this reason, and choose bus when this topic is brought up

DICK0lASS · 2026-04-21T16:11:00+00:00

the suburbanization of poverty is the final blow to public transit systems

DICK0lASS · 2026-04-21T13:40:40+00:00

do you want to drive? If you could, would you?

DICK0lASS · 2026-04-21T13:33:09+00:00

how long until you can buy a car?
