@meso@the.asbestos.cafe @meso@netzsphaere.xyz yeah because there aren't big stations
@arcana@fedi.layer02.net @meso@the.asbestos.cafe @meso@netzsphaere.xyz this is what they're all like for all lines in the area. amtrak has a real station but it only goes between major cities, you can't use it to come in to town from the surrounding area
@meso@the.asbestos.cafe @arcana@fedi.layer02.net @meso@netzsphaere.xyz cause standing out in the rain next to a highway for 30 minutes waiting for the train kinda sucks
@meso@the.asbestos.cafe @arcana@fedi.layer02.net @meso@netzsphaere.xyz some stops do but most of them are so narrow if theres any wind you will still get wet lol
@arcana@fedi.layer02.net @meso@the.asbestos.cafe @meso@netzsphaere.xyz it doesn't actually you get off at a separate stop and walk to union station
@arcana@fedi.layer02.net @meso@the.asbestos.cafe @meso@netzsphaere.xyz when i was in spain there were proper stations for the trains connecting the suburbs to barcelona
@meso@netzsphaere.xyz @meso@the.asbestos.cafe @arcana@fedi.layer02.net it's less density and more that everyone drives
@arcana@fedi.layer02.net @disarray@fedi.layer02.net limited zoning rules based on noise and little else like japan is the answer. also ban all street parking
@arcana@fedi.layer02.net @disarray@fedi.layer02.net in japan you can't buy a car without proof you have somewhere to store it
@arcana@fedi.layer02.net @naaksit@fedi.layer02.net @disarray@fedi.layer02.net what should be done about bad drivers?
@lucy@netzsphaere.xyz @arcana@fedi.layer02.net @disarray@fedi.layer02.net @naaksit@fedi.layer02.net in oregon it's $64 for 8 years
@lucy@netzsphaere.xyz @arcana@fedi.layer02.net @anemone@ebiverse.social @disarray@fedi.layer02.net @naaksit@fedi.layer02.net to add to this you're literally expected to experience a major accident within your first year behind the wheel. it's a statistically certain deal. this is why parents who know what they're doing and want their kid to actually lead a life of their own make sure they're driving before they hit 18.
@meso@the.asbestos.cafe @disarray@fedi.layer02.net @anemone@ebiverse.social @lucy@netzsphaere.xyz @naaksit@fedi.layer02.net @arcana@fedi.layer02.net yeah. driving is dangerous. extremely so.
@arcana@fedi.layer02.net @meso@the.asbestos.cafe @anemone@ebiverse.social @disarray@fedi.layer02.net @naaksit@fedi.layer02.net @lucy@netzsphaere.xyz US perspective feiw. it's entirely true here.
@arcana@fedi.layer02.net @meso@the.asbestos.cafe @disarray@fedi.layer02.net @naaksit@fedi.layer02.net @lucy@netzsphaere.xyz @freon@oasys.earth seems like a real piece of shit
@arcana@fedi.layer02.net @meso@the.asbestos.cafe @disarray@fedi.layer02.net @naaksit@fedi.layer02.net @lucy@netzsphaere.xyz @freon@oasys.earth motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of accidental death worldwide and the 3rd highest cause of death overall for under 50s
@arcana@fedi.layer02.net @disarray@fedi.layer02.net @meso@the.asbestos.cafe @freon@oasys.earth @lucy@netzsphaere.xyz @naaksit@fedi.layer02.net well the only higher cause in the US is drug overdose
@arcana@fedi.layer02.net @disarray@fedi.layer02.net @meso@the.asbestos.cafe @freon@oasys.earth @lucy@netzsphaere.xyz @naaksit@fedi.layer02.net it's not really advisable to confront a methhead especially in a confined space they can get violent quickly
@naaksit@fedi.layer02.net @disarray@fedi.layer02.net @meso@the.asbestos.cafe @freon@oasys.earth @lucy@netzsphaere.xyz @arcana@fedi.layer02.net narcan isn't for meth overdoses
@lucy@netzsphaere.xyz @freon@oasys.earth @meso@the.asbestos.cafe @disarray@fedi.layer02.net @anemone@ebiverse.social @naaksit@fedi.layer02.net @arcana@fedi.layer02.net here in florida there's a highway that people frequently go 90+ MPH on it's nuts lol.
