We have utterly destrpyed the commons, and you wonder why nobody cares for the corporate owned shit they need to rent to get around? It is not a common asset. It is owned and profited from; it extracts from you. It has locking mechanisms. It is hostile even if it’s also useful. I don’t use the fucking things, but i woukd toss them in the street when i was done, if i did. Live by the hobbesian hell world, get left in fhe street by the hobbesian hell world.
You want people to care about the world, make it for them, make the space their friend, not an enemy or exploiter whose every surface oozes subtle hostility.
it was so dangerous! Either i set my stroller in the street to move it…
So you’re lashing out at a proximal cause instead of the larger structural issue, that most of the square footage of our cities is hostile and dangerous to unarmored humanity.
Dude. Be normal. I’m sharing a story about an annoyance of modern US infrastructure (which is obviously the fault of cars).
I’m confused by what conversation you’re trying to start here. I obviously acknowledge the issues of infrastructure that lead non cars to have to deal with the frustration of a “choke point” in our sidewalks.
I think you may be just interpreted my comment in the least charitable way anyone could. Because, God damn, I don’t think anything you criticized could actually be concluded from what I said.
Not to mention the three word quote you start with. Are you just here to try to disagree with someone that likely agrees with you?
Sorry, i still have some shreds of compassion left in me and multiple brain cells. Working on it.
not replying to the whole thing
Didnt have shit to say about everything you said. We likely do agree on a lot!
partial quotes
Just enough so you know what im referencing. Any reader would have the context. For brevity/cleanness and because vopy+pasting precisely is tedious in the ux i use. You seem to be interpreting me in a pretty uncharitable light too. Not every disagreement or correction is angry. Not all anger you observe is directed at you. Not all anger requires taking offense.

Seriously. Maybe reread this in the AM mate.
