Yeah, no that’s not how this shit works and I’m tired of debating carbrains on their carbrained horseshit so you go ahead and believe whatever the fuck you like I guess. 3+ lanes for traffic inside the city is fucking gross and insane.
I can see why you might think so, but counterintuitively, it’s simply not true. It doesn’t help and it makes the areas where they’re built shittier to exist in. The continual widening of roads is a bad idea. A lane or two is sufficient. The rest of the expansion should be for footpaths, bike paths, and rail, period. This has been proven repeatedly to be the most effective setup for getting people around and maintaining a good quality of life.
Just to forewarn you: The above is an established proven fact that’s played out repeatedly for better and worse depending on which way the city went. Ignoring that reality will open you up to ridicule so I’d encourage you to actually take time to consider the above fact. On top if not helping at all and making everything worse, it also takes up a fuckton of space and costs a crazy amount of resources to maintain.
If you’re skeptical that’s fine, go learn about it, but don’t give a knee-jerk carbrain reaction because that just makes you look like a fool. Check out Paris, France if you want to look for a recent example of changing to a more effective transportation infrastructure. Check out Hyperbad, India if you want some urban hell nightmare fuel.
Not how roads work, dumbfuck.
Ultrawide roads do not help congestion and never have, that’s a fact.
You can disagree with a fact, but that will just make you a dumb fuck, you god damn stupid-ass dumbfuck.
I invite these 9 dumbfucks to eat all of my shit and hair.
How do you count just one cricket’s chirps? There are usually tons of them.
Silly goose is my spirit animal.
Amazon “grocery” delivery is bullshit and stupid expensive, plus there’s a ton of shit they don’t carry.
Well I for one, am intrigued.
Just grab your toilet tube! Keep it next to your poop knife for easy access.

Bikes get a pass tho
I once worked at a place like this. An exec insisted on making this elaborate video wall room at great cost so we could "keep an eye on things’ but after tons of money, effort, and time having contractors try to make it work (even though we literally had TWO in house teams that are AV experts), it got torn down!
It was a mess from start to finish and cost tens of thousands of dollars if not more. Even during the times everything WAS working, people staffing it mostly didn’t use it because the screens were all highly visible to anyone walking by regardless of what they were authorized to see or do. “War room” staffers had to use their laptops anyways because of some of the information displayed, which also meant they had to sit facing AWAY from the big expensive screen array or people walking by could see THEIR laptop screens.
The whole room pretty much existed solely for this one exec to try and impress people, he would walk them by or into this room and say something like, “This is where it all happens!” (it wasn’t) or “This is our nerve center, welcome to the War Room!” (it wasn’t our “nerve center” either) but the guy pretty much never had a clue as to what was actually going on or what people were actually doing. He eventually got retired after the new president caught on to all the crazy bullshit he was doing, but it took YEARS to get the guy out. Everyone was thrilled when he was finally gone.
3rd Rock was a banger
It can vary, but there are multiple licenses at the enterprise level with varying agreements and costs. Not just the OS for your server, but software, services, end user devices, and other random things that most folks never think about because they don’t have to.
In some cases FOSS can take a big chunk out of those costs or even eliminate them entirely if you have good staff that knows their stuff and your business doesn’t need or can make it’s own niche software/systems. If you build it in-house, you have to support and maintain it but it’s still often cheaper than many paid solutions.
That or competent in house staff, but either are better options.
Licensing and also more licensing!
Beats the hell out of paying Microsoft so you can keep running your business.
1 or 2 lanes of traffic is not what I am referring to. 2 is plenty, the solution isn’t MoAr RoADs, it’s LESS GOD DAMN CARS! People don’t need their car to travel all the time but you try to tell them that and they lose their fucking minds. It’s goddamn infuriating and if you don’t believe me go read through the responses.
Even your response is tainted by that logic, it’s not true: We as a society do not need nor should we have to rely upon cars for everything we do. If we don’t change this, we are consigning ourselves and our children to a horrible future. Very few people seem to actually give a fuck though. This shit needs to change, but it won’t because of entitled people unwilling to change.
Are you one of them?
