    this is an EXTREMELY privileged statement to say. But, just for fun, I’ll play along with you.

    If I were to take public transportation to the nearest public library leaving right now I would walk 2 hours and 5 minutes. I would then wait 19 hours and 39 minutes for the next train. I would then walk 34 more minutes. I would then wait about an hour for it to open.

    once I am done getting what I need, let’s say it takes me 30 minutes, I will walk 34 minutes, then wait 6 hours and 4 minutes for the train to come back. I then would walk 2 hours and 5 minutes back to my house.

    that is, 12:40 + 2 hours 5 min + 19 hours 39 min + 34 min + 1 hour + 30min + 34 min + 6 hours 4 min + 2 hours 5 min

    or,

    32 hours and 31 minutes

    or I could drive 35 minutes there and 35 back, including the time for traffic.

    We have no busses, the trains are >2 hours away, Republicans blocked the idea of making trams around the City, and I DONT EVEN HAVE SIDEWALKS FOR A LOT OF IT.

    And if I need to piss? THERES NO GENDER NEUTRAL BATHROOMS ANYWHERE!

    I CANT FUCKING TAKE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, REPUBLICANS RUINED IT

    stop recommending it.

    It is unironically faster to WALK THE WHOLE WAY

      walk the whole way

      Or bike, yeah. That’s what i do when i live rural, depending on terrain. Nobody for miles, headphones in one ear with an audiobook or something, you don’t need to schedule a separate workout, and you impress everyone with how fit and coordinated you are.

      no gender neutral bathrooms

      Okay so im originally from san francisco, and we have a have a solution for this:

      When there are no bathrooms, anything you want can be a bathroom!

      Remember to kill the cameras. Which you should be doing anyway.

      republicans ruined it

      Have you given your local fascists half the vitriol you offered me here? I assume the answer is no.

      I don’t mean ticking a box. I mean going down to their offices, or at least calling them up, and just talking like this until the shock absorber hangs up or threatens to call security?

      I get the sense no. You just want to feel good about uour car.
