This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I really wish St. Louis was more walkable. It’s so car centric out here that I usually have to drive somewhere for most stuff cos public transit is such a joke and no one respects pedestrians out here so they’ll run you out of the way and act like you’re the asshole for existing
I absolutely feel you, but the best way to stick it to them is to ride transit as often as you are able with their shit schedules, and walk when you can. Metrics and ridership are what drives investment. Its stupid because it is actually backwards (investment drives ridership) but in america car is the only thing worth spending billions of dollars on.
