Main Street American vernacular imo
And do not care about how their lifestyleâs negative externalities cause misery and death (and prevent upward mobility) even if they never hit anyone and even if we completely discount âthe environmentâ and use of natural resources, like even if cars were completely sustainable and zero emission
lol no one takes you seriously

The architectural style in the image is characteristic of early 20th-century American commercial architecture. This style often features elements from various architectural movements, including:
- Beaux-Arts: This is evident in the decorative cornices and detailed moldings at the top of the buildings.
- Art Deco: The black building with its geometric patterns and stylized facade may reflect some influence of Art Deco, though itâs more subdued compared to classic examples of the style.
- Early Modernism: The minimalistic, boxy shapes of the buildings suggest a transition towards early modernist architecture, focusing on function and simplicity.
Overall, the buildings appear to represent a blend of late Victorian, Beaux-Arts, and early Modernist influences typical of American Main Street commercial districts from the early 1900s to the 1930s.

Stroads are bad, but I can just about guarantee that anyone who posts on this forum would claw their eyes out in frustration and boredom if they had to live in one of these nowhere little towns without a car. Not because of Walmart and stroads, because they inherently suck. The cute picturesque French villages you drive through in the Loire valley are so awful theyâve driven all their inhabitants to fascism just to drown out the boredom.

Iâm teaching my almost-16 year old to drive (heâs had 6 hours of formal instruction, and I am going out with him now every day), and I can say without question I felt safer in the Waymo.

Yup. Driving with my kids (2 out of 3 so far) has been an absolutely terrifying experience. Also a terrifying experience: knowing that theyâre out driving on their own.

My biggest amazement with driving now is in Texas they make you watch like two hours of no cell phone usage while driving videos.
Yet all of us who got our licenses before cell phones have none of that instruction. Shouldnât everyone have to watch stories about people who died due to cellphones? I think itâs a pretty big deal, but everyone over a certain age just gets a pass and are told itâs illegal lol.
Iâve been fine teaching my kid to drive (one of them hasnât learned yet - the older one), butâŚ
Yeah. Sheâs a fine driver, but still, yeah.

Trying to teach someone to drive made it very quickly obvious to me that
Driving well and safely
And
Teaching someone else to drive well and safely
Are two completely different skills with not a lot of overlap

One of my drivers ed teachers in high school was missing a thumb. Maybe because of a car accident.

I donât doubt they are great. I was just amused by a story about a bunch of driverless cars circling around a parking lot honking at each other.
You werenât subjected to gory crashes because teens were drinking, racing, or not paying attention? We have plenty of those in Driverâs Ed.
Spend some time watching dash cam videos on the internet and youâll start driving like an old man
And buy a dash cam
