I'm starting to think there might be a reason some people assumed I was a racist redneck when I argued why I like small towns more than cities. Is that seriously what its like in some places? Here you will see the occasional truck covered in trump stickers but that's pretty much it. There's plenty of different cultures and views here. Not as much as a city of course, but that's as expected.

No, that's not really comparable to a city. Maybe I would be if it was entirely filled with cars and they were all in motion.

I was over exaggerating because I wasn't expecting to have an in depth conversation on a shitpost community.

You clearly have no frame of reference for the infrastructure in a town of this size. You can't just tell me what's in my town, I'm the one that lives here, I know what's in it. My hospital is more than capable of handling serious injuries. It is exceedingly rare that anyone needs to travel to a city for medical care.

I suppose we have different definitions of rural, but the way you worded it sounded like you think my town is mostly empty long stretches of road with the occasional gas station. Its unclear to me exactly what you think my town is, but the speed limits here are about the same as any city, and you never have to drive very far to get anywhere in town.

I've been to places similar to what you think my town is, and I'm more than willing to admit their faults, but its not like that everywhere and you are clearly demonstrating your ignorance on the subject by acting like you know better than me what's in my town.

I know it seems like less of a problem to people in cities, I used to live in one when I was younger and I never noticed it. But now whenever I visit, its extremely jarring to go back to that. I do miss having more stuff to do, but to me its a good trade off. It really just depends on what your priorities are, but my point was that I wouldn't blame someone for hating cities, not that they are objectively horrible places to live.

Yes, so it makes sense I wouldn't like places that have lots of traffic.

I'm not talking about a rural area, I'm talking about a town. You don't go high speeds inside a town regardless of the size of the town. Its not like every building is miles away from the next one. This isn't the middle of nowhere, we have a hospital.

I haven't been to every city, but if it doesn't have a good alternative to cars, its probably not a pleasant place to be. The reason I say american cities is because I've been to a lot of cities here so I have personal experience with them.

Oh sorry, I didn't realize that was much of a thing. Most people I know just complain about traffic but I don't talk to racists very much so I guess that makes sense.

Nonexistent, but its easy to drive here even with everyone on the roads, the same doesn't apply to a city. I definitely could have made my point more clear, so that's my bad.

My bad I should've elaborated more. The problem is that the lack of good public transportation puts more people on the roads that shouldn't be there. This is a problem in a small town too, but its much less noticeable because of the smaller population in general.

The traffic is the main problem to me. It is just so, so much worse than where I live. I was exagerrating which people didn't seem to understand, but it makes it an unpleasant experience to visit most cities here.

The scary part is that driving is so chaotic in american cities. I drive a lot and its still awful to me. Even if you ignore how much less safe it is than a small town, it takes ages to get anywhere; and of course you can't walk anywhere either because its all designed for cars. It is absolutely a nightmare compared to where I live.

Not cities in general, just american ones because they are so car centric, yet they all still somehow suck at driving and nearly kill me at every turn.

The problem with american cities is the terrible public transportation. That's most of why I hate them.

I don't blame anyone for being scared of specifically american cities. They are genuinely a nightmare. That's why I live in a town of about 15k people.

I started liking games again by going back to long open world games

I'm not intolerant, though. Except when it comes to the intolerant.

Yes that's what I said.

It's not about idiots with shitty opinions, it's about people who believe other humans should not be allowed to exist,

What about that isn't a shitty opinion.

I won't tolerate them, and you really shouldn't either

I don't. I would block them if I saw them.

What about their terrible reasoning means their opinion shouldn't be allowed? Just acknowledge they are stupid and block them. You are intolerant, everyone is. That's not a bad thing in and of itself. If you saw a Nazi and blocked them, that's intolerance. Idiots should be allowed to voice their shitty intolerant opinions, and you should be able to not tolerate it and block them.

And who are you to decide which beliefs are allowed and which aren't? Nazis think they are intolerant for a good reason, just like you do.
