@lain the uber app has car rentals and house rentals now. how long until people are renting their girlfriends on uber?

@graf @lain there was a jap bachelor on twitter that made the point that renting everything, even girls, is better, but he seems to have deleted his account

@matrix @lain in large cities like toronto it makes sense to rent a lot, your home, uber, because owning a car is insane. driving across toronto daily sometimes fills me with dread. sometimes it's 45-50 mins sometimes 3 hours doesn't matter if it's day or night. you can hop on the subway and be there in 10-15 mins

@graf @lain cars aren't really viable in dense enough cities tbh

@matrix
I am definitely not one of those "fuck cars give me walkable cities" guys. I will always own a car and that's how it is and when I read plebbitors talk about how "we'll make your car illegal chud you won't have a choice" I suddenly understand gun owners' foaming at the mouth

When I need to do something in Chicago, my first priority is ditching my car and figuring out the best way to ditch my car.

And when the best way to ditch my car is at a parking garage downtown, I give an extra 30 minutes to invariably miss every turn multiple times on final approach to the fucking garage. I don't know how people drive in the Loop. Their brains need to be studied.

@r000t @graf @lain yeah, the fuck cars people are absolutely brainwashed retards, but when I'm on vacation and the main promenade is next the sidewalk of a road that's constantly full of traffic and the outdoor seating is just there next to the road, yeah, I kinda get it. And electric cars are not going to fix that because modern gas cars are already whisper quiet and most noise comes from the wind and tires, and motorbikes, I absolutely despise motorbikes. A single motorbike is as loud as a heavy truck or construction vehicle, it overpowers all the cars around it making any efforts for quieter road traffic absolutely meaningless. And those motorbikes are everywhere in Italy and southern France.
