Everybody is all "public transit this" and "public transit that" until they want a hot femme to lock them up in her trunk

@salad_bar_breath “public transit” - free, accessible transportation to ensure that all participants of society have equal access to all services

public transit - gf locking me in her trunk and kidnapping me because its hot

*One of my simps, tied up and gagged in the trunk of my car, thinking* Hmm, cars really are amazing and we should clear out more bike lanes to make room for them.

@rowan "yeah, I'm a public transit employee...what did I get paid?...I dunno, just the joy of listening to my girlfriend's delighted giggles coming from my trunk."

@salad_bar_breath Excuse me. If there was adequate infrastructure to accommodate it, there would absolutely be more femmes out there kidnapping their girlfriends in their cargo bikes. Look at the Dutch!!

@sidepony I need that to be at least an ebike with the roster I'm pulling currently

@salad_bar_breath Oh, I wasn't necessarily recommending that for you. For your needs, you'd probably want something like the Vox XL electric quadricycle, but for the price of one of those you could get a pretty decent car. Even with lower long-term maintenance costs, without incentives like a really robust cycling infrastructure and the ability to avoid traffic that comes with it, I'm not sure why you would choose one of those over a car?

@salad_bar_breath I'm just saying it's wrong to assume nobody is kidnapping their girlfriends using the bike lanes! Plus induced demand means that more traffic lanes would just cause more even more femmes to kidnap their girlfriends using their cars and there'd be so many femmes kidnapping so many girlfriends that it would slow down traffic even more than it already is.

@sidepony oh that's a beaut 😻
