Take a new screenshot of what exactly? I’m sorry, I have no ability to uncensor an image that was censored before I even saw it. Those are beyond my elite hacker powers.
The answer to the original riddle is “Sure, can I have your phone to make a demonstration. Great. I’ll sell the phone and pen back as a package deal for $100.”
I always thought a good one was to put the pen in your pocket and refuse to give it back. Make him name his price. Clearly it’s yours, not his. Otherwise how could you sell it to him?
All of that, for a traffic jam. Imagine turning 4 lanes in a train track carrying 500 person every 5 min in both directions and one lane in a bike lane. It’s still 20 lanes for car, but you suddenly have decent public transport which would be safer and faster than that gigantic traffic jam
It’s always first and last leg in Texas that kills this stuff.
The only affordable housing is far enough outside the city that you basically have to own a car because there’s not enough density to have bus stops.
And going to a park park and ride following by waiting on the bus adds another 30-40 minutes to the commute and gets your car broken into 3 times a year, so nobody uses them.
The real solution is to mandate allowing remote work for positions where it is a viable option.
I commute 4 hours a day for a job where I log into a computer and do all my work online. If people like me were allowed to work remote we’d have more time with our families, traffic would be reduced, and housing closer the city would get cheaper for those who DO need to work in-person.
Yeah, well, many people are deeply stupid. And selfish. And racist. But I repeat myself.
Personally I think anyone who goes like “I don’t want to ride a train I might have to sit next to a black person” should be dealt with more assertively, but I’m not in charge.
One train! A single train track solves all of this. No need for two. Just one. In the picture you don’t see more than 500 or so people and that fits in no more than 5 modern train cars, with toilets, refreshments and other amenities. And it moves faster.
Fwiw, feeder lanes probably shouldn’t be counted in Texas because they’re basically glorified city streets. Businesses can have entrances and exits on frontage roads, so there’s not really anything special about them except that they have a slightly higher speed limit (5060mph vs 4045mph) and they have immediate access to the highway.
Given the greentext origin, I wonder if his wife was the first woman to give him the time of day and the dynamics of their relationship consist of him fearing that she might leave and he’ll revert to incelhood
Right? To each their own, but if I had a pool, I’d be inviting friends and family over to enjoy it all the time. I bet those kids had a blast and made some fun memories.
For small groups? 30 people (over 8 of whom are children) in a residential pool sounds absolutely gross even if it's not my pool and I'm not cleaning it.
The story mentions one in diapers but the other part speaks about kids far more active (so older) than toddlers.
You may not have kids, so just to let you know: they usually don’t just piss in pools anymore as soon as they’re out of diapers which usually is at 2 or 3 years old.
I mean my house isn’t designed for 30 people and 10 children, but that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t put my panties on and clean the house before an after a get together to build relationships.
Hm, didn't know my comment mentioned that I wouldn't clean my house before a party. It's almost as if you're trying to imply I said something I didn't so that my comment appears unreasonable.
I will say it again: 30 people in a residential pool (described as small in the post) is disgusting. It has nothing to do with the house, the backyard, the barbecue, the pets, the grass, the carpet, etc. It has nothing to do with anything except the pool and its capacity.

Well usually you clean a house/pool/yard before having people over… your comment IS unreasonable…. Since cleaning is an issue or something…?

You mean like a yard/house not having the capacity of the same amount and it gets dirty and needs to be cleaned up…? Grass will get wrecked, the bbq isn’t meant to cook for 30 people and needs to be cleaned it’ll get disgusting too. The carpet will need to be vacuumed too… are you seriously afraid of doing regular chores more frequently or something…? Because yeah this is also unreasonable….
Having 30 people on apartment is disgusting as well, the air gets stale, they drop stuff… see how this asinine thought can apply to ANYTHING, which makes it hella unreasonable…. All it is, is excuses to not socialize…….
Dude it’s a pool, it gets dirty. So what you need to clean it twice a week instead of once a month. You lazy? Don’t want to build relationships or something? There’s nothing disgusting about having a short party that makes a mess you need to deal with.
Its called having friends and building relationships, do you think that requires no works or something…? Sometimes you need to dirty your pool/house/yard to not be a basement troll. So yeah again…. Yeah… your comment is unreasonable since you’re saying everyone needs to stay in their basement and not make a mess or have fun lmfao.
Is all your furniture wrapped in plastic so it can’t get dirty? Because that’s the attitude you’re exuding here……. Lmfao.
It's not about the pool, it's about the grossness of being so close to others. This just tells me you've never been to a large party, otherwise you would obviously understand the need to have enough space.
I have been to cramped weddings, to parties of multiple hundreds of people for which there was not enough room. It is hot, it is smelly, it is humid, it is gross. A pool is worse. It has nothing to do with me having to clean.
A pool party I attend as a guest that does not have the room for those guests is gross. I don't care about cleaning. It's about capacity.
Wow, you are so mad! Who knew your life is so unfulfilling that you need to cope like this.
Have fun with your pool party rashes, children screaming, and spilled bowls of chips, I'll be getting drunk and high while blasting vaporwave and playing crokinole with friends.

So you’re trading messy children, for drunken messy belligerent taller children…?
Okay, you must be one of those “incels” who hates kids, it’s not about people as you’ve said you have no issue having parties….You’re just an ass who hates children wow. Glad we could find what the real concern was… fucking yikes buddy.
Tbh, I think I get it. Some people really get off on maintaining something in pristine condition. This is like an extremely expensive Bonsai tree or rock garden.
Same reason my wife wants at least 80m² of living space despite spending her time sitting on the corner of one chair looking at her phone : it feels nice to know you have it.
Oh yeah, for reference it’s a moderately sized flat for a family of four in a French city.
My dad has more of a country house with the huge park and trees and small lake… and still she only really needs her phone and a chair. Go figure.
