Yeah, these kind of posts always feel kinda mean if it's not him that's put that caption.

People who aren't conventionally attractive are allowed to have a sense of style and wear fun clothes too.

Everett True wouldn't put up with this shit

It's not for you; it's to make HER feel sexy. You wouldn't understand smh.

Ok but anarchist wolf is kind of a daddy

I disagree with your sentiment, and think the examples work. If your aim was to run a coffee shop forever and you quit, then yes you have failed. If, on the other hand, your aim is to enjoy and have the experience of running a coffee shop, then doing so for two years and stopping is a success. Similarly with a relationship. You can have succeeded in having a mutually fulfilling relationship that you both have happy memories from, even if you then grow apart. It succeeded in its aims of spending time enjoying being a relationship.

Tbh I'm happy to take the naughty bits from Ezekiel fully in context. I'm in it for the donkey dong.

"Does anyone here have enough humility to understand there's a similar checklist of things an automobile solves?"

Firstly, this feels a very confrontational way of phrasing the question. It carries with it the assumption that you are right and everyone else is wrong, which I don't feel is a helpful way of approaching a discussion.

Yes, of course people realise that car ownership is the only viable solution for individuals at the current time. You have engaged with a community who are passionate about and engaged in urban planning, so they are going to be more switched onto the challenges than most.

The entire point is that on their own they are not a sustainable solution long-term. They are hugely inefficient energy and space-wise, their infrastructure causes massive damage to the communities they carve through (see this Guardian article for a breakdown of some NA case studies), and they currently cause a huge amount of environmental damage.

So, the question becomes: how can we remove the need for car ownership? There's a host of ideas, from better high speed rail links to eliminate long-distance trips, to micromobility and demand responsive transport for short-distance, to better constructing our cities to begin with to allow for amenities to be walkable. Are we going to eliminate car use in rural areas? Of course not; there's no point running a bus service for a village of 10 people and a goat. Can we eliminate 99% of car trips for those in built up areas, improving air quality, walkability, and accessibility? That should absolutely be the goal.

TL;DR: hurr durr fuck cars

This was shortly followed by the French overthrowing the old, corrupt regime in favour of a radical, egalitarian government, before descending into violent internal conflict.

Hmm...

Birth VERY painful. Hope this helps.
