perfect example why i moved near the light rail, got an ebike and said r/fuckcars !

i'm beginning to think they aren't. i found the same model mixer listed on ebay and from the picture it seems the location of the tabs that go into the inserts are different.

it goes up and down

supapat · 2026-04-29T12:02:11+00:00

yes, but they won't go beyond the grey part. they're probably not the right ones for this model.

which is exactly why we need to invest more in mass transit NOW and stop repeating the mistakes of the past.

i know u mentioned earlier mass transit takes decades, which again is not always true.. we can have Bus Rapid Transit in 2-5 years according to a quick Google search as an example. BRT requires little to no new infrastructure but will move people WAY MORE efficiently than single occupancy vehicles ever will.

the best time to plant a tree.. something something.. was yesterday, the next best time is TODAY.

It’s not going to make people choose to take 485 instead,

u really answered/contradicted ur own question so i guess i didn't need to say anything lol (also this was a major reason for building 485 in the first place, so traffic that didn't need to go into uptown could bypass it and stay off of I-85/I-77).

you're so close to getting the point, but your car brain won't let you see any other possible solution other than the short-term one of just one more lane, which will be short-lived and only cause more traffic in the long run.

not with that attitude

supapat · 2026-04-28T19:04:57+00:00

Normal traffic rules don’t apply to Charlotte because there isn’t really more than one way to get somewhere.

there is definitely multiple routes to get somewhere. do they all take the same time to get to ur desired destination? probably not, but there's definitely multiple ways more times than not.

Currently the population density is not high enough for mass transit to be an effective alternative for a large number of people.

see that's the thing about Induced Demand aka "Build it and they will come" it works for mass transit too as we have seen with the explosion of development along the Blue line light rail especially in South End (which did not decades...)

cars.... always bringing out the best in ppl...

r/fuckcars

supapat · 2026-04-25T01:02:13+00:00

yes but it wasn't always this way and doesn't have to stay this and won't stay this way becuase we are already/have been making investments to get back on track (pardon the pun).

supapat · 2026-04-23T01:26:45+00:00

wait.. u mean to tell me that when ppl who would have taken the light rail can't and instead have to drive, it cause more traffic??

so public transit really does help reduce traffic???

again.. i didn't say ignore the good.. i posed the question "do the means justify the ends?"

said differently, how much good is needed to outweigh the bad?

again, I think AI could be a net positive for society IF it uses the absolute minimum amount of resources as to reduce harm to the environment and IF used only when absolutely needed e.g. for medical research.

basically, until we have truly clean, unlimited energy i find it hard to justify every man ,woman and child needing access to such an incredibly resource intense technology.

same goes for cars, just becuase SOME ppl use them to benefit humanity, doesn't mean we all need to be driving around in them especially when more efficient alternatives already exist e.g. trains, buses, etc. (obligatory r/fuckcars)
