When you’re as rich as these fuckwads, why would you ever choose to drive?

[-] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 day ago

Some people can’t not be in control.

I can't not be in control!

Proceeds to abuse substances to the point of loosing control

Because driving is fucking awesome! Just depends where you do it.

Allow me to introduce you to bicycles, my friend

[-] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 hours ago

Sure sure, bicycles are cute for a nice peaceful ride around a lake or across town, no worries. I used them regularly in Wuhan.

I meant like the thrill of cycling v driving. The same straightaways and hills which seem so exciting on a bike just seem like more road from a car. Windows down helps a bit, but still not the same.

Might be more subjective than I thought though.

Ah no that is a fair point. Cycling speed let's you appreciate things at a different scale. It happened to me many times when living in Wuhan. Stuff that was just "blocks of buildings" on a bus suddenly became such and such shop or specific building. Happened to me in towns I lived in as a driver. Taking the bicycle to go drinking in the town center let me notice the architecture of individual building.

It's a different experience for sure, I find that each mode of moving around has pros and cons :)

You're right. Going biking in a group through a city I used to live in was wild in how much it changed my perspective on the city and made it feel fun and beautiful.

I'm glad I left that city but I miss those rides
