Use public transport, a bicycle or an oxford comma
post
Welp, guess I'm not going to work tomorrow because there's no busses nor metro (even within the city there's shit for busses and no metro, and I have to travel two towns into the country where busses are mostly conceptual). Does "hopping a freight and hopefully not getting caught by the bulls in the yard and then hoping they slow down enough in the town I need to jump off in" count as "public transport?"
Know what? I think I'll just drive.
replies:
Did they place that sign in the middle of a bicycle lane?
replies:
No, traffic are all the others who obviously don't have a home and drive around solely to annoy me.

I was considering a short trip to visit family outside the city, here in the NYC region. By train it's like $70 for two of us. By car it's $10 in tolls (per Google maps), plus fuel/wear and externalized costs.
That's ass fucking backwards. I'd much rather take the train. I don't want to spend 5-7x to take the train.
At least within the city it's pretty sensible.
replies:
That's either AI or the most stupidly-placed sign in the world
*Edit: I agree with the sentiment, it's just in the middle of the bike lane/sidewalk
*Second Edit: as others users pointed out, sign does exist, it's just a weird photo. There's also a bike lane on the other side of the road, separated from the road by a fence and everything.
I retract my statement, it's been a journey.
replies:
Person finds picture of good public signage, posts it to appropriate community, the image is criticized for lack of context perfection. Unreal lol.
Edit: this sign's placement in the middle of the sidewalk is really dumb but yeah one step forward two steps back and around the sign.
replies:
This pic would be more impactful if it wasn't in front of a road that was completely empty except for two vehicles, one of which is a bus.
Seems silly to complain about traffic and offer solutions for it ... in front of a scene where there's no meaningful traffic.
replies:
You’d best start believing in traffic, URINE ONE. POOP IS NUMBER TWO.
…just thought I’d garden path my lazy meme into asburism.
Sorry, I'm running late. I am traffic.
In order to eliminate the traffic I had to become the traffic.
replies:
Sign might be more useful on a road that is experiencing heavy traffic.
"You're not having trouble navigating a crowd, you are the crowd. Don't be part of a crowd."
When I was in NYC, the streets were basically empty and the sidewalks were crowded as fuck. It was hard as hell to find a cab. I was expecting to just be able to wave my hand and have one appear.
I mostly walked down the middle of the street because there were just so many people on the sidewalks.
