    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 so the time cost is smaller than it appears, 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.
