can you explain how you're classifying Laurel's Brooklyn trips as different from my familial ones?

a. she is taking a bus or a trainb. she is in brooklyn so she is probably 'cooler' than you
― iatee, Tuesday, 26 April 2011 04:34 (thirteen years ago) link
in order to take the train from my place to hers it'd mean 1st going all the way to Union Station to transfer. Would be 2hr journey.

ia, my second paragraph was about Chicago, that was probably only clear inside my head. That's how the trips are different.

granny I'm sorry but the fact that your town has shitty transit access is not the killer argument you think it is
― iatee, Tuesday, 26 April 2011 04:40 (thirteen years ago) link
what is my argument?

why dont' you tell us instead of being snarky and having weird meltdowns

i'm just not getting why you're in favor of connecting east-west NYC via rail but connecting north-south Chicago is mockable.
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Tuesday, 26 April 2011 04:44 (thirteen years ago) link
I don't know how far out in chicago you live, but connecting two suburbs w/ passenger rail generally doesn't make sense as increasing service to urban areas because the density and ridership isn't there.
connecting two extremely dense parts of new york makes a lot of sense because there are a ton of people who are just waiting there for a train to come for them, even in really far out parts of new york city. eventually a bus comes for them instead and then they take that bus to a train.

make as much sense as*
and yet the planning commission has recommended just such a thing

American city planning commissions have been shown to act wisely, efficiently, and with the publics interest in mind in the past

I think he thinks I have it out for his imaginary train
I don't even know where he lives, also I am for all trains, ever

having a definable position on something like ~the suburbs~ makes no sense to me, but I agree w/your statement earlier: i don't think there is an optimal way of living! people should pay for what they're getting, is the point. because the real costs will be always be paid, somehow, in the end
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Tuesday, 26 April 2011 05:00 (thirteen years ago) link
cool man, everything is ~relative~
― dayo, Tuesday, 26 April 2011 05:03 (thirteen years ago) link
i dunno how many times ppl have made the distinction that 'the suburbs' is not a very precise term and not exactly what people have a 'position' on in any case
― goole, Tuesday, 26 April 2011 05:06 (thirteen years ago) link
then what do you want my position on?
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Tuesday, 26 April 2011 05:07 (thirteen years ago) link
no i think i got it

Now, he is held up as a national hero. But he says the guiding principle is simple. "People here have five aims in life: money, a car, a house, a son, and respect. We give them that. Every family here is rich. Our target now is to make all of China rich."

I think they're thinking the son comes after I find a woman, unless I need to find an extra somewhere.
