Because as a fan I’m contractually obligated to consume and enjoy all related content, rave about it online, and buy $100 worth plastic waste a year.

hehe thx

Why is it depending on how you count?

Nice false equivalence friend.

What a waste just to save a couple mins.

I live in Vancouver, easily top 10 city, probably top 5. And yeah you’re right, I do know two people who advocate, my aunt and uncle. No one else I know is even remotely passionate about urbanization efforts. Lots of people I know use public transit, but they don’t view it as something that can be relied on as their main form of transportation. Yes, the fact that our public transit is not nearly as good as it could be is a huge part of it, but the point remains that most people do not feel strongly about improving it.

I’m sure my privilege has kept me in a bit of a bubble but there are seriously very few people who feel strongly about public transit and cycling infrastructure. Even my less privileged friends are hardly advocates for better infrastructure and the people I’ve met through sports leagues all drive, I’m literally the only person I know who rides a bike everywhere they go. I used to frequent a local news website and any article that mentioned road diets or public transportation became toxic battlefields between pro and anti car folks.

There is absolutely a significant group of advocates in the city, but I really feel like you’re misjudging the percentage of people who support urbanization efforts.

I get that, but a significant portion of people fight tool and nail against any and all attempts to reduce car dependency in cities.

I live in a city with solid public transportation and bike infrastructure, easily top 10 in North America. Almost everyone I know takes public transit only when it’s convenient (ie they want to drink) but otherwise drives everywhere. I don’t know a single person who advocates for more public transportation or bike infrastructure.

psst. you’re the one coping.

Can confirm. Am pretty smart, have wealthy parents, slept walked into well paying job after years of depression/inactivity because I had a safety net that meant I didn’t need to slave away at a minimum wage job to avoid destitution.

Shit sorry everyone, didn’t know about this rule! Nice knowing you all.

What country do you live in?

Most North Americans are too obsessed with cars to consider a world where they don’t drive everywhere.

Colour me surprised, at least you greybeards have honour enough to spell some words correct.

To be fair to OP, they really should’ve stopped advertising this as a feature years ago. It’d be like if sliced bread was still advertised as “Now sliced for your convenience!” or whatever.

git gud

but why?

“Useless red circle” is there to accommodate both the shitty eyesight and impatience of older generations who have been accustomed to everything being handed to them on a silver platter.

Generalizing generations is fucking stupid.

I mean, car centric design is less safe than human centric design. You’re safer when there’s more people around.

Any conservatives seeing this thread are having all of their conspiracy theories validated.

Damn good for you. I fucking hate being wrong, hurts me to my gut. I blame my childhood.
