Paris, Texas maybe.
You can ride the Paris Metro in Paris, TX:
Of course there are medical service ads on the Paris [Texas] Metro 💀
Really cool band
Shit, you remember them?! They were so good live.
Really cool movie too.
Paris casino Las Vegas.
Are Vegas streets still littered with escort newsprint, or has that all gone digital?
I had a roommate years ago that collected dozens of escort flyers on his trip to Vegas and sealed them on a coffee table under acrylic.
Pretty rad.
What? I can’t hear you over the stroad.
“Mom, can we go to Paris?”
“We have have Paris at home.”
Paris at home:
Add Google Streetview VR and you’re golden. 😅
It’s beautiful. Thank goodness, otherwise I would have probably gotten Paris syndrome on my trip.
Paris syndrome is a sense of extreme disappointment exhibited by some individuals when visiting Paris, who feel that the city does not live up to their expectations.
Relatively confident this was taken in Chicago
Oh shit, you’re right. Photo was probably taken from the Marz Brewing thing by the corner of Western and Armitage.
The intersection of Western/Armitage/Milwaukee is a pain in the dick for all. Pedestrians have to wait at three busy crosswalks to get to the train station. Drivers don’t know what lane to be in or whether they need to take a soft or hard left to continue onto the street they want.
They did recently bump out the curbs at the crosswalk, which is nice for pedestrians, but the cagers were upset because it created a bottle neck.
“W Homer St” 😂😂😂
That
instancecommunity is so fucking toxic it almost convinced me to leave Lemmy when I first joinedmaybe you just didn’t have your expectations met.
does this help?
This is a fantastic conbination of boomer hoomer and kawaii(?) art.
For future reference !fuckcars@lemmy.world is a community on the instance lemmy.world.
But it’s the instance you’re still on?
It’s an acquired taste and not one you have a craving for all the time.
Fuck cars.
Sir, this is a Wendy’s.
Goodbye
Toxic how?
the fumes
Ok thanks for clarifying what you meant in that edit. But I don’t really understand what you mean by toxic. Could you point to a handful of examples of the toxicity from within the last month or so?
Well that doesn’t make any sense
Fuck cars
It’s the first community you should block lol
Upvoted. I disagree, and I think we need fewer cars and more public transportation, but if you don’t like that community by all means block it.
Build trains and there would naturally be less cars yeah. But hating on cars as a blanket statement is stupid lol
But hating on cars as a blanket statement is stupid lol
Well, I see you haven’t spent a single minute browsing that community.
I bet half of that community doesn’t even know how to drive a car
I haven’t owned a personal auto in 12 years. I hold a class a license (to drive semi trucks). Our dependance on cars has destroyed the earth and our society. We’ve salted the earth with parking lots. We’re angry angry and fat people. Fuck cars.
…Is that supposed to be a diss? LMAO
Let me verify i have it straight:
Youre bagging on the anti-car community by making a general assumption that they are unable to drive a car?I would love to read more about your thought process here.
I bet they don’t even know how to run a train, posers.
/S
It’s thinking like this that leads to car dominance.
I’m in Valencienne right now, small city in north of France, just got here for a project, and boy people are on fire. Had no clue about the game before today, but I feel this was the best day to arrive in France haha. I watched the game from my Hotel, but I went out when the fireworks started. It’s almost midnight and the streets are full of people.
Funny thing is my partner is literally from Paris (but we live in Montréal) and even her didn’t really know about the game… I guess we’re not sport people lol.
It looks like a crossing where gangs fight out territory disputes. Its aweful but I get the vibe, sometimes I like to go to weird/fucked up places, get myself a drink and a cigarette and just enjoy it. Like, not because of the vibe or scenery. It makes me feel like I go from 3rd person to 1st person view. Like “I really am alive this world is fucking weird look at this view is this even anything like civilization it feels like anything could happen wtf woah this is amazing”
Kind of like being alone in the woods for a while and you get a bit worn out with a whimsical and hardcore touch grass kinda vibe like “I am a human and I am in nature there is no technology I don’t know where I am and I like it let’s go over there”. But than in a kind of weird outer city/industrial park area like this city and like what the fuck this is society this is humanity I don’t know where I am but I enjoy this and I grab a beer and perceive life.
I especially like both these things overseas and in foreign counties
I once enjoyed a delicious Colombian meal at a street table in Seven Sisters, north London. Shortly after the food arrived two men got into an altercation on the street, both acting like complete arseholes. One of them then disappeared off for 5 minutes and returned with a claw hammer he’d bought from a nearby hardware shop. He attacked the man half-arsedly with the claw hammer for a while then wandered off, but not far. Then the police turned up, and did a terrible job of working out who hammer man was. It was very entertaining, and the man who was being attacked with the hammer was not really injured. Dinner and a show 🤌
So weird to think of hanging on to your rage through the process of selecting a hammer and purchasing it. I think when I pulled out my credit card I’d be like “this is stupid - I should be buying a crowbar”.
I know right?! Grandpa always taught me: choose the right tool for the job.
Congrats you’re the right tool for the job
I was once waiting for a bus around there. I had my headphones on full blast and was just enjoying the sunny day. Random bus drivers would stop, break out a sweat and frantically try to wave me to come on to the bus, but I waved them on because they weren’t my bus.
Finally I got hungry and as I turned to grab my duffel bag, I saw two guys surrounded by a group of men, going at each other with a knife, one of them thrusting up to his face and the other holding his hand down. Police swarmed about a minute later. I got on the fucking next bus.
That’s close to how it would be if you were in the Boulevard Périphérique
See the thing is, this could be just about any road in any city in north america. We refuse to build real places, just lanes and parking lots
The French don’t put their traffic lights on the wrong side of the intersection
Yes they do. They even admit it’s a terrible design because they have to add a second smaller slightly-turned light so you can actually see the light when you’re stopped at it.
That’s usually for Cyclists. The rest of Europe also has their traffic lights on the right side without the smaller light
I think they’re actually banning smoking in a lot of Paris soon.
So Paris will look like this, but more on fire.
Goshen Hole , Iowa is so scenic this time of year, I hope it doesn’t get ruined by over tourism.
Sounds like the kind of place where something interesting is going on 24x7
yeah but paris ain’t got that freedommmmm! murica!
Paris, Tx maybe?
Actually a lot less cars in Paris these days.
As a non-parisian French I’ve hated it my whole life but even I need to admit I’m recent years it’s been transforming for the better.
Replace the drink with a pint of Guinness, and change the McDonald’s to a pub, and you’ve got Dublin.
It is quite a lot more to Dublin than that.
Can confirm, I used to live in Dublin for ages. It’s a kip.
I…don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing lol
