I object to them when they are stupid. The world is complicated and you're trying to make me look stupid by pretending it's simple. That's fucking stupid.

I see you've not heard of video. Weird!

So what? The buses aren't the vehicles that make up the bulk of the road usage, it's the swarms of cars. The difference in road usage between vans and a bus which carries the same number of passengers is negligible. But the bus puts more wear on the pavement than hundreds of vans.

You are also a rando. You've deprecated your own opinion there.

I took the bus for years, that's how I know they suck.

Not just that, but it was true. We need more rail (which we had before the cars) and fewer cars (which a literal conspiracy attacked the rail to profit from.) Add a rail line, you have a ton of additional capacity on the same line. Add a highway, you need to expand it practically before you're done building it. And in this country, you need to expand it literally before you're done with the expansion, since we seem to be so shit at road work. Watching Japanese roadworks videos almost makes me weep.

No, troll. There's an entire class of fat cats, who ensure that justice is not done and funding is misappropriated. Save your clown shit for home week.

No, it's like trains which are actually good.

We've seen what utilization looks like on the BRT lanes in the UK... very low.

This is, of course, bullshit. There are vans which hold 14 passengers. You could also use minibuses, which have the same benefit... but frankly they are just prettier vans.

So to be clear, you're functionally illiterate?

Yeah, but those two things are diametrically opposed. Slackware 2 was my first Linux. It didn't do anything stupid.

MacOS was made for him. The classic kind, with one button.

I used to use flatpak, but then it just spontaneously stopped allowing updates one day so I removed it rather than fight with it trying to fix it...

So that's why you refused to use Ubuntu already, because of Unity and Snap, right?

What relevance does that have to the experience of running Debian, which is what we're actually talking about?

Lightweight solar panels are flexible ones, and they are trash. No solar panels are especially heavy, though, on the scale of heavy trucks.

Yes, they all treat drivers like garbage, and pay them like trash.

The rich assholes who make the decisions deciding the roads don't need to be maintained is a problem. It's tempting to believe that they will want to maintain the system over which they have privilege, but they have shown time and again they have no interest in doing that.

Buses perturb traffic, they can't bypass without their own special lanes which are wasteful and expensive, they do massive amounts of pavement damage compared to enough vans to transport the same number of passengers, they can't fit into many neighborhoods and if they could the streets wouldn't be rated to carry their weight. They are used despite these massive drawbacks only for the exact reason which I described previously.

Yeah, no shit. That's where we should be spending our money, making a better future, not on genocides and quests for oil.
