And I heard in a public consultation meeting about bike lanes that... get this... Adding bike lanes would make it dangerous for kids to get to school.
What backwards universe did we wake up in?

Does America not have school buses anymore?
I'm in Canada, and yes, we do. In fact, the buses were having difficulty getting into the school's parking lot because of the way the illegally parked cars were quite literally at the edge of the turn (leaving little space for the bus). It's been sheer madness these past few weeks.
And it's hilarious (not) when people put on their hazard lights to park illegally while they pick up their kid. I swear to the gods, if my municipality ever gave citizens the ability to write up parking tickets, I'd reduce our property taxes by 10% from the revenue I'd generate! 😄
For speeding, yes, you're right. I was talking more about general inattentiveness, bad judgment, actual malicious driving behaviour, and poorly skilled drivers. No amount of infrastructure can correct that! LOL
Keep going. Every failed attempt makes him look like poor leadership material. Not that his words and actions make him out to be good or anything, but still. 😂
Graduating from school in Canada or the US is basically "Congratulations on surviving not being killed by guns or cars!".
The way we design our roads psychologically encourages speeding.
I think most "major" roads are like that, but the school I have to get to is in a subdivision that isn't busy. And people are still rolling through stop signs while looking at their phone. I think being in a car detaches people from the reality of what's going on around them. Like playing a video game from behind a windshield.
It is not safe. At all.
That an area designed for our most vulnerable demographic is so dangerous that adults wouldn't want to be in it says a lot about North American culture.
That's honestly disgusting. Not only for the environment and public safety, but those missed opportunities to get some level of activity in your day are simply pissed away in a car.
Like, people are OK commuting by car for 1-3 hours a day... but a 20 or 30 minute walk with a dozen benfits? NO WAY!
A generative AI ouroboros accumulates error until its output is useless.
We're already seeing this, but I don't think that will stop people from using AI (with some human oversight). Countless articles are being generated each day using AI, just so that someone can publish a garbage website that gets a lot of views, and reap those sweet advertising dollars. The quality of the content on the internet is eroding, and i don't think we'll be able to put the genie back in the bottle.
I'm seeing more and more legitimate websites no longer using stock images, but AI generated images for their photo content. It's just too easy, so why wouldn't they, right?
I saw a teenager get hit crossing at a crosswalk in front of a school. Red light, driver in the left turn lane didn't stop behind the line as the girl was crossing. She ended up on the hood and tossed.
I guess the only reason she wasn't severely injured was that she was hit by a car and not a monster truck.
No, very doubtful, as that one has larger tires and is probably a lot heavier. It looks like the one he brought is the titanium model... super light.
"Western culture"? 😂
