Welcome to The Shitpost Office

Shitposts processed from 9 to 5, with occasional overtime on weekends.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not SinisterTreat others like fellow employees, not enemies in the breakroom.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Respect people’s time and space. We’re here to laugh, not to loathe

Rule 2: No Prohibited PostageSome packages are simply undeliverable. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content
  • NSFW content must be properly tagged

If you see anything that violates these rules, please report it so we can return it to sender. Otherwise? Have fun, be silly, and enjoy the chaos. The office runs best when everyone’s laughing.... or retching over the stench, at least.

Headphones exist.

And confort of trains will always be categorically better because you literally only have to get in and do nothing until you're there.

I feel like you're arguing with someone that's actually on your (our) side here... Trust me, this doesn't sound like the guy that agrees with an extra lane replacing a sidewalk, or the guy that hates the tram line that takes up a lane..

We should consider not being this aggressive in our speak with someone that's actually a friend...

Just dodge the screaming homeless people, tweakers and the occasional pile of vomit.

Transit quality is region dependent. If you're not fortunate enough to live in an area where transit is well looked after it is not "categorically better."

This is true but it only shows that transit is seriously underfunded and treated as the bad step child in many areas, something which could theoretically be changed easily.

You are absolutely correct there.

I do my best to vote for better parties man, but I am out-numbered by the stupids who think the answer to fixing problems caused by conservative governments is to elect more conservatives.

During a year where there was a transit stabbing every other week, our mayor took a trip on transit to "combat the perception that transit is unsafe." She had a full police escort... They're more concerned with optics than with actually solving problems.

Cars do have the advantage of seats being comfier. I say this as a person without a drivers license that enters a car maybe twice a year.

Having to concentrate on driving does seem worse than just being able to sleep though

Headphones are nowhere near equivalent to good stereo. I don’t hate bikes, I just think cars are better and more enjoyable to use in general. I’m a bit lazy, also, to be honest. I don’t want to have to exercise to get wherever I’m going all the time.
