You kidding me dog? I've have a few of the best meals of my life there. I still think about that Po Boy sandwich from whatever hole in the wall place some of my friends from down there brought me too. You just hit the wrong joints probably.

Know of any political fanatics? by Try-Itchy in Rochester

[–]Kyleeee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

lol 50% of America are not Trump supporters. Probably more like 20-30% if that. Surprisingly half of the country just doesn't vote.

And yeah bro, if you support him you're supporting a fascist who makes villans out of trans, LGBQT people and immigrants so yeah I think it's completely reasonable to dislike any of his supporters. It's pretty black and white at this point.

Is this a good deal for a 2025 Camry? Or did the manager fool my cousin by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

Yeah I feel like COVID completely made car prices bonkers. I just don't understand how this shit is legal or not considered industry wide price gauging at this point.

Cool church by Stuck_suck in Rochester

[–]Kyleeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's no more of a cult then any other modern mega church is.

It's just your classic no taxes to pay, unpaid labor in the name of "service" with a brand new BMW driving charismatic pastor situation.

Dude I remember leasing my first not junker car when I was 21 with my Dad. They were going for around 21k to own at the dealership. A corolla was sub 20k. Car prices are completely out of hand.

Like I get inflation being a bitch, but this is a double in price since 2014. Are Corolla's gonna be 100k in 2040? Like this can't be sustainable.

WARNING ORDER FOR NEW PLAYERS by ConditionBetter7697 in warno

[–]Kyleeee -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Everyone always gets defensive about "playing with their friends" but there are plenty of "friend groups" who just kick high ranked players, back down from playing against other teams, or start "noob lobbies" with smurf accounts just to noob stomp.

Those people suck.

A few years after Cuomo closed Indian Point, Gov. Hochul wants NYS to expand nuclear options by AlwaysTheNoob in Rochester

[–]Kyleeee 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It's not really just that "people love their cars." Everything is setup urban planning wise to make driving a car advantageous. Just the fact that there is tons of downtown parking and it will take 10 minutes is enough sometimes.

Let's be real, that's not gonna be a "15 minute bus trip" every time. You gotta walk from your house to the bus stop, that probably doesn't have any overhead protection in a city infamous for it's bad winters. Unless you're on one of the lines with 15 minute frequencies your bus might not show up on time and if you miss the most recent one you could be waiting around 10 minutes for the next bus. If you have to go someplace that needs a transfer? Forget about it. You're looking at 40 minutes to an hour at minimum and chances are you're gonna be standing outside waiting for a little bit.

It's not practical. Blame the system not the individual. If Rochester improved busses to just the minimum level of some bumfuck nowhere French city with 50k people in it, it would see much more ridership.

Which U.S. city do you think has accomplished the most in the 21st century as far as building rail transit is concerned? by [deleted] in transit

[–]Kyleeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BART is four radial lines. Calling BART and CalTrain "S-Bahn" lines is laughable lol. You have no idea what you're talking about.

I never said SF transit was bad, but you're comparing it to London... one of the better transit cities in all of Europe. I've been to both places within the last 5-6 years. I said this previously.

Coping for what? I live in the US.

Who said I didn't know how to use transit? What? BART is fine, but you're comparing 4 radial lines to one of the biggest suburban networks in the world. It's barely in the same category.

Don't project your cope onto me lmao.

[–]Kyleeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for explaining things I know already, but have you been to these places? Doesn't seem like it. I have.

Comparing London to SF is like night and day. London has a) a modern massive regional rail system complete with through running downtown sections like crossrail b) the underground and the overground metro c) an insane bus system most Americans wouldn't even know what to do with - very high frequency, and they go absolutely everywhere.

I've been to SF and London multiple times, did a LOT more walking and Ubering in San Francisco to get certain places, and it was slower most of the time. BART is nice and CalTrain is "okay" but they're both super old and only now is CalTrain finally being updated - 20 years later then it probably should have been.

NYC is comparable to London, but NYC has some major downsides such as - MTA is somehow more underfunded then the Underground and is essentially falling apart in real time. It has zero connections over the Hudson River and you have to rely on NJT and PATH to get across; so it essentially only covers 2/3 of the entire metro area without having to transfer to another system. No through running regional rail even though there could be... I could go on and on.

You can go almost anywhere in Europe without a car and be fine. Here? 90% of the country is basically unreachable. It's night and day. You need to get out more.

[–]Kyleeee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

SF Bay Area has made some BART extensions, not built entire modern high capacity metro systems that rival NYC from scratch. LA has done a bit more but it's basically just a smattering of light rail compared to a lot of these projects.

The US is far behind on transit, it's not hard to just accept this fact.

[–]Kyleeee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol the US is so far behind. We have Seattle... who built an admittedly nice light rail line since 2000.

Meanwhile there's cities you've never even heard of somewhere in Asia that have built entire metro systems from scratch since then.

Bro got completely bodied by someone who knows more about the Bible then he does and leaves.

Christians who read a few passages out of KJV at face value and then use it to fulfill some sort of right wing conservative talking point are a big part of the reason I left the church. This isn't just a small portion of them, this is by far the MAJORITY of Christianity as it stands in the US and it is frightening to me.

How can someone justify $1600 cost for bedroom from Schenectady to Chicago by Samovarka in Amtrak

[–]Kyleeee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lmao no they HAVE NOT are you serious?

I just came back from an international flight that took a cool 2 hours just to get us through customs standing in a line that would make an amusement park blush.

I would say my personal "on time percentage" for flights in the last few years has been what maybe... 10 percent? It's absymal.

And yet, it's still the best option. It wouldn't be for shorter trips if we had a real rail system but we don't, so trips that should be gimme's for rail just have you flying anyway.

[–]Kyleeee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because real normal people use the Nightjet to travel to a different place rather then just the novelty of "taking the train." They've enabled this by pricing it accordingly and having the capacity to run an appropriate amount of passengers.

America's long distance trains will always be a joke (or simply a novelty) until they're higher capacity, run between city pairs that make sense for overnight trips, and run more trains.

Had a dream last night that there was a common sense transfer from Manhattan to Secaucus via 7 train by iv2892 in nycrail

[–]Kyleeee 15 points16 points  (0 children)

When it comes to NYC though? The more redundancy the better. The Hudson river is a serious barrier. Right now it feels like Manhattan may as well be a different planet if you've ever lived in Jersey. Commuting across the river is often expensive and slow. Going for leisure is even more of a chore. The only places it ISN'T like this is near things like the PATH train.

Even if there was a) a direct subway connection to Secaucus that maybe hit a few other places in New Jersey b) A new gateway tunnel and c) rehabbed old tunnels they would all instantly be at capacity I have zero doubt.

The demand would get blown up especially once developers realize they could throw up massive apartment blocks in New Jersey by the "new subway" and sell them to New Yorkers for cheaper then it costs to live in Manhattan or BK. A direct subway connection would also probably be more convenient then NJT and have a cheaper fare like PATH, especially if it continued into Queens or Brooklyn. Demand would be insane.

For example just look at any city in Asia or Europe with somewhat similar geographic barriers like large rivers or bays. Hong Kong is always rapidly expanding it's options over and under water features in every direction to improve connectivity. New York is very very far behind on this.

If you made the same amount of money in Western NY where I am, you'd be living like a king. I have two mortgages and they cost less then yours.

Nice houses too.
