Ah, yes, I’m an asshole because you cannot click through to that podcast. Have fun here, you fucking clown 😂

I was listening to a breakdown of this study on a New York Times podcast. It has to do with huge cultural differences between how Europeans and Americans interact with smartphones in cars

Funny thing, someone posted this Podcast, and there’s absolutely no mention at all about this: https://lemmy.ml/post/10124633

Again, which study are you talking about? Neither this here nor the other article under which you also commented mention phones or automatic transmission at all.

What this analysis here does say though, that you’ve got a lot of DUIs with a BAC >0.08. In Europe, the max BAC 0.05 or lower.

Oh, I can assure you that driving manual doesn’t keep people from dabbling with their phones… If anything, it makes it more dangerous, since… well you’ve only got two hands, right.

And automatic is becoming the norm here as well, at least with new cars.

I‘d say it has a variety of reasons. Cars are huge in the US, streets are wide, pedestrian safety is not really a thing, the driving exam is harder and more intensive here, and I feel just… safer.

For example, here I don’t really wait at a zebra crossing, I basically just step on the street and expect the cars to yield because they have to. I would never do that in the US…

Can’t say for pedestrians specifically, but the variance of general traffic fatalities in the US is huge, and the average is way higher than the EUs: https://personalinjurysandiego.org/topics/most-and-least-traffic-fatalities-in-america/

For reference, Mississippi does worse than Afghanistan, New York is comparable with the EU.

Those exist in the EU as well, yet here the number is constantly falling:

Ok buddy 😘

oh great the millionth wise ass with bUt ThEy Do LoOk LiKe ThAt.

I know that. It’s not about that.

Read the fucking comment I responded to. And go annoy your teacher, Hermione.

And yes, btw, the 80s were a different era. I was around then. In the NL 🤡

I disagree with the grossness.

I don’t.

But it does look right.

No, it looks like the shitty bike rack that destroys your wheel it is.

Did you read the comment I was responding to…?

Yeah no, having bags on your handlebars is just a disaster waiting to happen. Some basket in front for some light carrying, maybe.

There are many good options, panniers, trailers, etc.

Where are you putting them? On the front?

Two large panniers and/or a trailer and it’s easy.

Your comment does nothing but make people angry. It’s not helping anything, and will not change the behavior of anyone. When you insult someone, you only make enemies for yourself, and that’s nothing to be proud of.

Take some time and think about what you write and how it can realistically affect the world. Would you not rather make a positive contribution, and improve social media?

Do you feel like a big man when you write insulting comments to people on the internet? Are you proud of what you've written?

First because Europe got the shit bombed out of it

It has little to do with that, actually. There are very few cities that got heavily hit. What was removed and remodelled in the 60s and 70s was way more than the war had damaged and it happened after the major repairs were already done. Even cities and countries the war never really touched got extensive remodelling.

It was a completely deliberate decision to remodel those cities, driven by modernist ideas.
