Well yeah, riding in a painted lane on a busy road is dangerous.

As a carbrain I also prefer protected lanes to paint

Somehow, I feel like the definition of carbrain categorically excludes self-identification as one. Like, the essence of the word is a paraphrase of Vince Lombardi: Cars aren't the important thing, they're the only thing.

So what’s the word for the weirdo who wants a dumpy, mostly broken fartbox of a car that they fix themselves who wants public transit and protected bike lanes so that there are fewer idiots on the road who don’t know how to zipper merge?

I think that's a car enthusiast.

Middle of the road? I bet that pun can be upgraded.

But yeah, smarter people who like driving recognize that making other modes of transit makes driving better for those who do so.

I want an America with mass transit for all and highways with no speed limit.

[–] stormeuh@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

So Germany but the trains run on time.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

It’s America.

Let’s not get our hopes up
