But public transport won’t make a handful of people rich, so that’s a non starter for many.
And you might have to reckon with living in a society, with other kinds of people. You’d really ask someone to ride a bus with a {slur of your choice} just sitting there, like they’re entitled to peace and dignity?
In other words, conservatives are fuck heads who make the world worse for stupid reasons.
Good news: you don’t have to ascribe to an oppressive religious dress code. The people that do want to dress in ways that conform to their religious and cultural beliefs can, and that continues to have fuck-all to do with you.
That’s not okay, which is why where are not and should not be any laws in our country regarding what to wear, what to read, what you are allowed to do with your body (as long as it doesn’t violate someone else’s or force them into violent, gory, or sexual situations)
You hearing this, Christians? The USA isn’t here for you to make puritanical.
The men forcing women to dress like this aren’t using the law to force them. Laws forbidding dressing like this are, theoretically, to protect them from being forced.
The treatment for this is not to outlaw the dress codes, rather to provide services that help people get away from abusive partners.
So the stuff that women have been fighting for since the late 20th century. Also the stuff white Christian nationalists want to eliminate:
~ DV Shelters
~ Property rights for women
~ Employment gender equity
~ No fault divorce
~ Crisis counseling
The ones forced into it, I pity. In my area, it’s fairly common to see a women (and girls) out in the park in full religious garb, while their husband is in sweatpants and flip-flops. It definitely makes me angry. I honestly don’t think anyone chooses to dress like this unless they are forced to by a man.
Last time we did the smart thing and we stayed till first train in the morning. Was also cheaper to drink till dawn and eat shit in McDonald’s than take taxi home 🤣
Big difference between serving alcohol and selling alcohol. When I was doing 3rd shift, we’d get out at 5AM, head straight for the gas station, and pour tallboys into paper cups and drink in front of the store.
First bus home came by at 6:30. I was usually pretty buzzed by then.
Sounds like a you problem. I dont live in a place where they run 24/7 but they run long enough at night on holidays. Also, if you are partying until 2am don’t be a weak sauce, party until 6 and then next day transit starts.
I have a somewhat vivid memory of sprinting through NY Penn Station around midnight to get the last train home, back before I lived in the city. Was a deciding factor in me moving. Had to leave my friend’s Halloween party at like 10 to get the last train.
Yeah, the issue there is that public transport wasn’t extended for Halloween. Here on holidays public transport either has an extended timetable or we get a separate night bus routes that start at the city centre (around 200k “city”) and send you to anywhere in the city. Those run until 6am when normal bus service starts so you get 24h service. For people from nearby towns they have their own bus/train service which in holidays runs 24h too.
I understand being fucked in a random weekend, but on holidays? That’s fucked up man.
Edit: just to be clear here anything over 30m is kinda fucked too, but that’s like a different province already so people from that far tend to have a plan. In any case if you were on a big city like Barcelona or Madrid where 30m you are still in the city, this wouldn’t be an issue ofc.
Know what doesn’t refuse to pick you up if you’re pished? The Night Bus.
PUBLIC TRANSPORT WINS AGAIN! INVEST IN PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION!
assuming you have a public transit system that operates at night, and is worth a damn.
I know there are places where buses stop running long before the bars close.
BE PUNK IN DRUBLIC

Edit: fix autocorrect mistake
how is this not posted as straight satire? Why is every one of these images cooler than the last?
Yes, but also not a big fan of oppressive religious dress codes.

What about the ones who don’t want to, but are forced into it?
They should have programs that support them and do outreach, not bans.

I’m open to the probability that there are such women. But I can’t imagine that they area anything but a sharp minority.
I see this sometimes from a distance, even with children. The boys are wild and loose, the girls on a tight leash.
Unfortunately, trying to address that with the sledgehammer of The State is not easy to do safely.
Unfortunately the people that don’t want to conform to the dress code of their religion get beheaded.
Not so much in liberal democracies.
Sadly, the US is on its way toward becoming an autocratic religious state.
Or have their genitals mutilated
Nah liberals are people like Hakeem Jeffries. This is the future that actually free people want.
(Also phone girl can get it)
Stop leading with the first sentence, you’re giving it strength not being smart.
Public transit stops at midnight where I live. Won’t work for someone out at 2am.

In the U.S. there are only two places that serve alcohol 24/7 (New York and Las Vegas). Pretty much everywhere else stops serving at 2am
Truly a fascist country
New Orleans is all night as far as I am aware
I forgot about New Orleans!

Meanwhile in my country you can serve alcohol all night, but you can only sell it (to go) between 10 AM and 10 PM
Better start early then 🤷♂️

and cop cars
I’m not going back to shitting my pants in a common taxi cab.
I’m getting used to the smell of peed pants on the bus.
It’s just ammonia.
This is something I’m to European to understand.
Not my fault your country disinvested in public transport to force your to drive, killing off third spaces for the enrichment of car companies.
I just said I’m riding the bus, where did this come from?
