This doesn't work if you have any distance to go. I spent 8 years without a car, and I'll never do that again. I love my bike, but no.
That's... What you have trains for. If you have proper public transit, that need is covered. Oh, and you can get shit done while you're on the train. Or sleep. Or relax.
I really wish most places had better public transit.
A major city near me ends public transit at midnight, despite most late night venues being open much later than that.... And their transit system is "good" by comparison to what's in cities nearby me, and I'm still a 15 minute drive from any of them (at least). It would take me most of the day to commute to the nearest major city by bike/public transit.
Still... I wish.
Because you lived in a car centric shit hole with no backbone rail.
Fucking car brain infrastructure blindness is so reliable. Like you can't see the massive constant costs of car infra, you think the roads never need repair and fuel just fucking appears, engine repairs aren't orders of magnitude more expensive than anything else, and there's no opportunity cost to other modes of transit, but laying an inch of track or cutting bike trails is just so fucking expensive. You are the problem with the world. You are why we have climate change. You are why everything is so fucking shit and everything everyone owns spies on all of us.
Please stop. Please just fucking stop. You can't see shit, your experiences are not valid, your instincts are the products of ad campaigns, and you are reliably aggressively spectacularly incorrect in harmful ways. Please stop having opinions, stop voting, stop speaking on any topic you are hostile to the concept of understanding.
If you're determined to never think or observe, please defer in matters of reality to those who at least try.
This is some high tier deranged posting.
Nice.
You know how LLMs have a context window and use it to predict the next word? This guy’s brain works like that, but with a context of emotion instead of words, and it can only store 3 tokens.
Oh? What doesnt track?
The words tracked. You just seemed to have gotten stuck in a feedback loop of emotion where your rage reminded you you were angry, which made you more angry.
Their mod log really says a lot lol
Oh I would love to read that—is there an easy way for me to see that? I only use Voyager, so I’m a bit of a noob here.
Found this through Google: https://lemmy.world/modlog
Seems to only show a few of the actions though. Might be because .world gets defederated more often.
Yeah, mostly without citing the text or attributing anythibgvto an author, but what's that got to do with what I'm saying here?
They have 5,297 comments within the last 5 months.
That's 35 comments a day for like the past half year.
I browse at work and am chronically online but shit, that's still a crazy amount.
That’s… really something. Their posts are unhinged.
What are your faves?
No need to add the ableism in there.
Yeah that’s fair, didn’t mean to be like that but a mod didn't like it and deleted it so I can’t edit. Just used to using old internet slang, and I often forget there’s places here that really don’t like that kinda thing—my apologies.
Pretty sure there is. Not much of an ad hominem without it.
Cool. Tell me what I'm wrong about and how.
Dude that is some insane response there.
How so?
Edit: oh shit, you got nothing, do you?
I feel this comment in my bones.
Lol, same! Or, you know, thwt's just the various metal pins in them from when i had to be scraped off a crosswalk all those times because some asshole was drunkenly looking at their phone and I have huge numb spots and bulges(uwu?) in 3/4 limbs
Many parts of the world don't require people to go more than at most 10km for almost any reason, ever. I assume you're American, in which case you're totally right. Broken country designed only for cars.
I mean it's not really that it's a shit country designed only for cars. It's also a rather huge country that you can travel quite a ways to get to whatever you're needing to do.
The USSR covered 11 time zones, and at a less severe latitude the sun would not have set on its continental mass. It was and ts successor is more rural than the united States. For all the many many many many problems it had, this was not one of them.
This is a problem, like school shootings, that Americans choose to have. Presumably because Americans are orcs.
You are wrong, everything you believe is propaganda lies, and you are hostile to even the idea of understanding the real world because you value your delusions more highly. Stop spreading lies.
This entire thread could be bound in hardcover and published under the title American Realism.
Other huge countries have trains for this.
I mean we have trains also but just like those countries also have cars and infrastructure we also have cars and infrastructure. The amount of time it takes for a train to go from point a to point b is quite often much longer than what it takes for a car to get to point a to point b. They're oftentimes where I work 3 to 400 mi away in a single day I can literally get up in the morning drive out there do a job complete it and drive back and be back at my house by that evening. There is no way on a train I could get up make it out there with all of my tools completed job and make it back to my house at any time in a single day.
No, we really don't. We used to, and then automotive companies bought our country, killed all the passenger trains, and redesigned every city to require cars.
Yes, the idea that America has trains I think really betrays that this user doesn't really know any other type of infrastructure than broken car-centric bullshit. Not blaming them, that's just what you get in America.
Not actually correct with high speed rail. Also, you're talking about a work vehicle which is obviously a different category from a commuter vehicle and not at all the subject of this post.
That's what made me an ebike evangelist. Someone on hexbear once described cars as using a sledgehammer to crack a walnut. Most of my car trips were a walnut. >50km, but Colorado's topography and weather made biking so miserable that I'd drive 2km to a grocery instead of biking. Adding a motor changed everything for distances like that. No matter how windy is I have a tailwind, no matter how steep it is the landscape is flattened. I ride home after a 10 hour shift in 35C heat doing hundreds of squats and it's refreshing. For longer distances I still need my car but trips like that are so infrequent that I could rent a better car as-needed and still save money.
I mean on average I drive anywhere from 100 to 400 mi a day for what I do for work. And then my trips that I take can average 8 to 10 hours or more. And those are done several times a month as well. I went from going absolutely nowhere because I didn't own a car and I only relied on bus train and bike to doing about 60 to 70,000 mi a year.
That's a really extreme outlier case similar to why I still own my car, living in the American West and wanting a road trip vehicle. Hopefully you can find a job that doesn't keep you sedentary for that long. A 400mi drive hurts like hell.
No I could easily have a job like that, I run my own company and I have freedom to do whatever I want to now and it is so much better than when I was sitting in an office staring out a window all day long. That was a slow death. 400 mi for me is nothing it's literally a day's work. Hell even within the city that I live in there's days like last Friday where I drove almost 400 miles in a single day.
Motorbike.
