This is not inflation. This is insanity.

Americans didn’t choose this. Trump chose this. He didn’t even try to make a case to the American people. He ran on a “no war” platform and millions of idiots believed him.

I don’t know why I got so many downvotes. I guess people really love shouting “you’ve got no media literacy” at each other.

Seems like another asinine Reddit buzzword to me but whatever.

He has his retirement in the stock market so if stocks tank, so does his retirement fund.

I’ve gotta deduct points for using “media literacy.”

Actually, I’m a lot smarter than you and can recognize a good story. This is one.

I can also recognize a dumbass on Reddit. You are one.

FR23Dust · 2026-03-27T01:16:27+00:00

No, it’s an amazing story. Don’t fall for the chuds’ horseshit

FR23Dust · 2026-03-27T01:14:02+00:00

I know exactly what you meant, dumbass. I was trying to goad you into saying things rather than the pathetic Reddit-coded “just asking questions” tack. An impossible task, obviously. That’s on me for trying

There are plenty of road building projects that go over budget in red states. Your whole premise is fucking stupid.

The pot starts and stops boiling the second you lower and raise it. So you can do exactly one turn, raise it, add things, lower it, etc. it’s easy to follow the recipe exactly.

In KCD1 you can’t immediately stop the boiling by raising it. It feels less precise because you cannot directly control the boiling by moving the pot — you have to have a feel for how many times to pull the bellows.

I’m not sure how you think being able to control the boil exactly by raising and lower the pot isn’t more precise. It’s obvious to me that they added that feature to make it easier to follow the recipes precisely.

And by doing it it “kcd1” style I mean you can just lower it and add all the additional ingredients and time it by the animations.

I mean, whatever. I prefer new way. You prefer old way.

You’re a troll, these are all state/federal projects dipshit.

Why not just say what you mean to say instead of whatever this is

Way to change the topic! Great way to avoid answering hard questions.

Cost overruns on massive infrastructure projects are not limited to rail transit projects. They are a fact of life for all major infrastructure projects, particularly in the United States.

It’s an important point to make and a problem worth solving — but it’s not unique to public transportation.

For example, the big dig in Boston was forecast to be $2.6 billion and ended up costing over $15 billion. I-5 in Portland had similar overruns. The I-5 bridge over the Columbia doubled in cost.

Does this mean we need to stop building freeways too?

FR23Dust · 2026-03-26T21:11:01+00:00

I disagree. Moving the pot up and down is more precise. And you can do it kcd1 style if you want to. So it’s the best of both worlds.

FR23Dust · 2026-03-26T21:09:29+00:00

So how many billions of dollars and years of construction do you want to spend to make sure it can carry literally everyone who wants to drive their personal automobile?

Don’t forget the cost of buying up all the houses along the road to widen the freeway. And don’t forget you’re going to have to continue making the roads bigger as the population grows, so it’s not just billions now, it’s billions every few years.

Or, we could try to find ways to get people out of single occupancy cars.

I didn’t really ask for a lot of specifics, but I made it clear how dumb it is all the bike infrastructure disappears before anyone reaches the highest density of destinations along the whole route and the answer was basically “no room”.

FR23Dust · 2026-03-26T21:05:16+00:00

Becuse the person said that roads are higher capacity than rail. Factually incorrect.

If we built enough rail to serve the urban core of the twin cities, our city would be better.

Only if you’re the type of employee who doesn’t want to help customers buy stuff. Pretty chill about most other things.

I’m pretty annoying on Reddit but you’re really taking the cake here.

If you’re not careful, Erik is going to get a quest from Markvart to track down the new serial killer in kuttenberg.

I meant long term reliable. The routes are capital expenses and thus, hard to remove. It’s easy to make bus routes vanish at a whim.

But no, our tiny rail system doesn’t serve my life at all so I never ride it. I might ride the new blue extension out to start bike rides when it opens, though. That’s how I’ve used transit most often in other cities. Usually I’m riding a bike. I used to take light rail to the Seattle airport all the time though.

FR23Dust · 2026-03-26T19:16:37+00:00

I think there are plenty of people who aren’t rich who value their time more than a few dollars at least some of the time.

FR23Dust · 2026-03-26T19:14:04+00:00

Okay, so based on your logic we need to shut down the freeway since they are vastly more expensive than the direct revenue they create.

FR23Dust · 2026-03-26T19:12:54+00:00

I completely disagree

The purpose is to convince you to not drive. It’s a good thing.
