Random Politics & Religion #11

I like driving, but I still think within our lifetimes we'll see driverless cars take the majority of driving duties out of the hands of people. Driving will become like driving stick now; an archaic function of leisure, not necessity.

Ushering in the extinction of designated drivers!

Yeah, I know manual transmission is a bit more common in the Eurosphere. But I also get the impression you don't have nearly as many people commuting in personal vehicles on a daily basis in most places.

As this campaign progresses I wonder if Hillary and trump went in on this together to *** with all of us and see everybody flip their ***...
I swear Hillary seems to be trying to lose sometimes with all the dumb shot she says and trump man I'm starting to think he's made of Teflon...

But I also get the impression you don't have nearly as many people commuting in personal vehicles on a daily basis in most places. Even out in the open it's still narrow. Not many places have more than 1 lane for traffic. I mean sure, a lot of the architecture was built during the horse/buggy days, if that. But most places (except a few cities, like Berlin or London) are still narrow streets. Not saying it's bad or anything. Whatever works for them, right?
[+]
Right, well. That's sort of what I mean. I know traffic in London can be hellish and I'm sure places like Berlin, Rome, Paris, etc. are also pretty heavy on traffic, but overall I suspect there's more than one reason public transportation is so much more reliable and readily-used in Europe.

Most countries in Europe are slightly smaller than Texas (France is only a couple hundred square feet smaller than Texas), to put it into perspective. So, it's not hard to imagine how traffic is in regards to Europe, if you have never been there before. But you do need to see it to believe it.

Who cares about Italy ?
I restate my question who besides Italians cares about Italy !

I said I got the impression. Having a hard time finding numbers though, I'd be interested in the actual data on that considering, population wise, Rome and Pittsburgh are about the same size. I have no idea what Rome's public transportation is like. But Pittsburgh's is utter ***. No one cares about public transportation ! We got bombs going off in NYC people !
Ramyrez said: » But Pittsburgh's is utter ***. Sometimes you just need to start from scratch. I recommend a 60 ton nuke. Asura.Kingnobody said: » Ramyrez said: » But Pittsburgh's is utter ***. Sometimes you just need to start from scratch. I recommend a 60 ton nuke. Luckily I don't live in or work in Pittsburgh. I go there for sporting events, and private transportation works just fine for that purpose. That said, no nuking Pittsburgh. I'm close enough to get serious fallout.
I promise to not nuke Pittsburgh if you promise to nuke Austin.
Even though I'm close enough for the fallout, at least I would have a little warning. "It don't matter squat because inside thirty years the nukes are gonna be flyin' like maybugs...and then Hillary here is gonna be the smartest woman on the cinder. Now, pardon me, but I got an appointment. See you in the funny papers."
 Quote: Turgidson: Mr. President, we are rapidly approaching a moment of truth, both for ourselves as human beings and for the life of our nation. Now, truth is not always a pleasant thing. But it is necessary now to make a choice, to choose between two admittedly regrettable, but nevertheless distinguishable, post-war environments: one where you got 20 million people killed, and the other where you got 150 million people killed! Muffley: You're talking about mass murder, General, not war. Turgidson: Mr. President, I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed, but I do say no more than 10 to 20 million killed, tops! Uh, depending on the breaks. Muffley: I will not go down in history as the greatest mass murderer since Adolf Hitler. Turgidson: Perhaps it might be better, Mr. President, if you were more concerned with the American people, than with your image in the history books.

West Texas, around Big Bend, is the best. You can kill lots of Tarantulas while relaxing to whatever beats you listen to.

Also, to elaborate, you can find some weird ***in West Texas.
Marfa always comes to mind.

I'm just glad I don't live near Portland. That amount of hipster in a high concentration is harmful.
This is hell to me this video:
YouTube Video Placeholder Too bad it's against the law to run over hipsters.
