i hate driving so fucking much
I hate commuting (edit: by car) so fucking much.
Driving is worse.
If you commute by train or bus you can at least get a streak in candy crush, read a book or stare at people while deliberately eating too slowly.
Let me be clear: I hate commuting by car. Trains, bikes, whatever else is fine. I cannot stand being stuck in traffic with everyone else that seem to have no patience and no presence of mind to leave a bit earlier so they have the time to sit in traffic.
Driving is fine. A nice long drive can be amazing.
Adding a couple more lanes would get things moving. /S
Just one more lane bro and that'll fix traffic I swear
Falling Down vibes.
Not quite where my mind was going, but definitely something along the line of "Fuck it", leave the car right there and just ditch.
They are very happy!
This is their freedom!
I mean, show me any picture of this many humans packed together and I'll run screaming. Doesn't matter if its a train or a bus or walking...ick. Not for me.
I think a lot of americans are the same really. We dont want to be around anyone who isnt our family or friends.
However this photo could be replaced by like 1 train or 10 buses. So yeah.
Hell, I don’t really want to be around my family that much.
Definitely not here either. Only a select few
Scenes from North America
Specifically Dallas while building a whole new I-635 section that runs between and under the original lanes.
Is this Texas?

Dallas was my second guess.
That's the thing. It could be ANY city in the US. Car-dependent infrastructure kills local culture. It makes everywhere look like the same, ugly concrete jungle.
I agree that’s the point, but here are the Texas things I see:
- Valero
- super tall lighting
- feeder roads
- top of censored plate looks like it could be five letters
- the concrete barrier and weird empty space next to it in the bottom left
- widening the freeway by adding lanes in the middle of it
edit: Turns out I was right. That’s a Texas plate. Gives me Austin vibes.
Kinda fitting since Texas has become the epitome of the US.
Is this the checkout line for Walmart?
No, it looks like it's moving.
No, Whataburger at 3 AM.
No, this is the line for the costco gas pumps
No it's the Walmart pharmacy line.
I agree with the premise of this post, that car infrastructure is generally ugly and unpleasant, but I have to point out that this is doing the same thing that people do with every picture of an urban area that they want the viewer to dislike, which is make sure its taken on the most humid overcast day possible. To its credit though this isn't during the fall, so at least there's leaves on the trees.
Sunny summer photos of traffic jams give me second-hand heat stroke
This wouldn't look appealing on a sunny day either 🤷
Mmmaybe that's smog and not just overcast.
