I mean maybe. A lot of people today aren’t having children bc of the general state of things and concerns around climate factor into that

Does the graph include how palm farms are built on precious forest land that has since been burned down? and that the land primarily being burnt is some of the most important land for storing carbon and providing oxygen?

So language is this funny thing that organic creatures do. And organic creatures, being organic, change over time. So too does the things they do

That’s a great point. I had a similar realization when riding one for the first time. It was something along the lines of capitalism “fixing” problems that it itself causes. Can’t afford a car? Rent a scooter

Oh for sure. My deeper point is just that culture is a factor that never really comes up in these conversations and memes. So while yes, the pic is funny, and yes it’s getting at the heart of the issue. That doesn’t change the fact that some people just dont care and also doesn’t change the fact that the transition period away from car dependency is awkward for a lot of people

Two things can be true. I live in a downtown area with plenty of open space for bike parking and kids will leave the rent bikes in the middle of wherever they want

I mean yeah but also people do leave them littered everywhere

Wow there. We can’t go around regulating things. What do you think we are COMMUNISTS?!?

fucking finally. Pike Market has always been too crowded for cars anyway

If only everyone took civic duty seriously

Balkanization is probably the end result tbh

Bc that’s the difference between these groups. One believes in the law and what it means. The other doesnt

So while yes, it would be great to see the Dems play hardball they can’t without failing to uphold what they believe is right

Is it naive? Yeah probably. Will it be enough? Probably not

But going against the fed in a way that is considered “illegal” could be seen as declaring civil war. And while the fed can’t live without it’s taxes it can bomb you to hell if provoked

Hey man can I bum a pouch?

Maybe in a another couple thousand years we’ll finally learn to avoid it

Yeah except smoking rates have increased since the invention of vapes. It if was strickly people smoking cigarettes swapping to vapes then maybe we could call it a success

My grandfather wakes up in the hospital after his third heart attack. The Doc comes over and says “you’ll need to stop smoking or else” and my grandad asked “or else what?” The Doc leaned forward and stared him dead in the eyes “Sudden death”

Apparently it worked. He said he never smoked after that

As someone who’s taken the train there a couple times I’d say the core downtown area is pretty walkable, but everywhere else def needs a bike or bus setup

I totally agree but even the better part of the states aren’t 100% car free. Which unfortunately puts us in this akward transition period where both parking and public transit kinda suck. That in turn does make it hard to win people over

That said my partner and I were able to sell my car and rely solely on her’s after moving to the city. I basically never have to drive anymore. So it’s definitely making an impact

Yeah their marketing has been kinda insane lately. Saw a box that said I'm empty without you on it. Like YIKES, way to make me not want to use your service

Sauce?
