holy shit dude why are you so mad?
Because you all are doing nothing but demonstrating for us once again the negativity and childish banality of the human condition, and I'm tired of it.
The immaturity, the short-sightedness, the complete lack of empathy or consideration for anyone who disagrees with you -- you all are attacking people, not just me, who are calling out walkable cities for being unviable for disabled people. One stupid motherfucker here even suggested people like that use delivery services to get their groceries instead of being able to drive, knowing Instacart and Uber Eats exploits the disabled and isn't available everywhere. No consideration that it's unfair for disabled people who can't walk far regardless. No consideration that what you want isn't completely viable because different people with different needs exist, nothing.
Y'all are just angry other people are opposing you because you think us chucklefucks online disagreeing with you is a barrier to what you want and I'm tired of putting up with it.
So until you change, I'm going to be angry at you, and if you don't like me being angry at you for your own behavior, that's a you problem. I don't need you to listen to me or even like me, but you apparently need my approval for your stupid policies and ill-thought-out ideas, and therefore you need me a whole lot more than I need you. The only one hurt by my anger is you. You're the one complaining about it.
You're fucking political parasites and I'm tired of it.
Now let's watch your dumb ass prove my point and do nothing but address my anger and my emotions while not addressing the needs of the disabled people who would be thrown under the bus with car bans at all. ๐
Pot meet kettle lol. People are making actual arguments about how a walkable city is better for every class of person, not just one specific class, and you're throwing them all out, without entertaining the thoughts at all, and with a fair bit of vitriol.
Any situation where the average person doesn't need any special equipment (a car) to get their things done is going to be better for everyone. As a off the top of the head example, when no one else NEEDS to drive, for instance, the people who do need to can more readily. Or they can utilize other, cheaper, specialized equipment, like powered wheelchairs more easily, because everything is within walking distance and the streets aren't packed with people in cars.
That's not what's happening but thanks for showing the class you haven't been paying attention at all.
You know, if all you invested a fifth of a third of a quarter of the energy you're investing trying to get something over on me onto building these walkable cities you supposedly care about, we'd all be on Saturn by now.
