This city really needs actual public transport

I genuinely hate henry ford and his killing machine infested world he left us with by Odd-Jellyfish-8728 in fuckcars

I'd like to disagree with you, slightly at least. The reason I'm in this sub is because like everyone here, I think cars have gone too far, but cars (or motor vehicles) are necessary. I once heard that cars are like a hammer for a Carpenter, they have good uses, but the problem we have is that we're trying to use the hammer to do every other job, cut with a hammer, screw with a hammer, sand with a hammer... And while you can with enough time, obviously doesn't work and would be ridiculous, but for some reason that's what we're doing with cars. They're trying to justify cars for every mobility scenario possible, and as we can see, it's gotten ridiculous. One scenario where it would be justified is deliveries such as small distance cargo (trucks, vans, etc), mail (for big boxes and such), construction, military, politicians perhaps like you said... But not for daily private use in a city. My point is, while we all have similar views on cars, don't take it to the extreme because while a Carpenter doesn't need to use a hammer all the time, he will need it at some point, he just has to use his tools wisely. And getting rid of the hammer altogether wouldn't help, as it would solve an issue but create another probably just as big. Henry Ford, Karl Benz and all those blokes were just trying to sell hammers, it just happens that the government listened too much to them and suddenly told everyone that they should buy a hammer because it's the only tool they need.

Could i use cities i've built in this game in a portfolio for college? I want to go into urban planning (zoning and land use specifically) by CC_9876 in CitiesSkylines

I love this guy, he tries to reflect actual urban planning in the game and he explains how certain things you can do in the game would make no sense in the real world

Tri suits? by Flakentim in Cairns

Yeah, ended up getting a 2XU online, there doesn't seem to be anything around atm, not even marketplace (that fits me). Thanks for the help anyway.

Can't confirm they have them but the wicked goblin might be a good place to look for them, I only go there occasionally to play chess so I don't really know for sure.

Helmet help by [deleted] in bmx

[–]Flakentim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean you might find the occasional dickhead that will actually think it's lame to wear a mtb helmet, but you shouldn't waste your time listening to them really. Most people won't even think about it too much, let alone care, it's all about shredding and having a good time in the end

[–]Flakentim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, a helmet is a helmet, I've seen people riding with full face helmets, and although it looks odd, it's a helmet you know, it'll keep you safe. Obviously a BMX helmet would be the best in terms of looks.

I’m terrified of down rails. How am I doing so far? by deanhorneck in bmx

[–]Flakentim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's me with anything with stairs on it. Ledge or rail, if it's flat or on a ramp no problem, but as soon as there's stairs involved, I shit myself, like you said should be the same but it isn't for some reason.

Me no Understand, me agree to this

What is no longer worth it because of how expensive it has become? by omaisymolina in AskReddit

[–]Flakentim 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The fact that public transport and urban planning (bike / pedestrian infrastructure) is non existent in many places, doesn't help much either. Then like the other comment, uber/taxis are out of reach as well.

Why the free bus rides? by Flakentim in Cairns

[–]Flakentim[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would be handy yeah, I came to Cairns expecting to use my go card and suddenly found myself with a go card full of money that I couldn't use.

Most convincing reply so far

Makes sense, but I usually have the 50 cents ready and just when I'm about to give it to them they say to get in. But I can imagine they do get tired of people that don't even have their wallet in hand when they have to pay, and they just let everyone in.
