Now imagine actually being homeless and being constantly harassed.
Fuck Cars
This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.
This community exists for the following reasons:
- to raise awareness around the dangers, inefficiencies and injustice that can come from car dependence.
- to allow a place to discuss and promote more healthy transport methods and ways of living.
You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.
Rules
-
Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.
-
No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.
-
Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.
-
No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.
-
No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.
-
No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.
-
No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.
Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.
What does "doing drops" mean in this context?
Delivering drugs
Also what is a plug son?
A plug is a drug dealer. They were the plug, son
Sounds like the side hustle is drug related
I was trying to figure that out as well.
Playing Helldivers.
Droppin stuf off
I recently had a confrontation with a motorist passing me unsafely, took a picture of their plate, caught up and gave their bumper a little slap 'said roadrage kills' as I passed the window and laughed my ass off as I saw the guy was desperately fumbling with his phone trying to get a pic of me
Incredible
This is the only way to live in the states & not be a worm
thank god I've never been
Austin still has a lot of pedestrian friendly areas, mostly between downtown and the UT campus but all the new developments are absolutely car-centric. It sucks.
No matter who you are, you’re just someone on a bike to these scumbags who cut you off and honk at you despite you’re doing the right thing.
I read about stuff like this a lot, but it's never happened to me. So maybe my city is nicer than most, or people here seem to ignore people a lot more.
I have a car (actually a truck), and I choose to use it less. The winters here can get fierce, so I'm not ready to give up on having one, but I rarely use it. I walk or scoot everywhere I go and I've never had an issue.
