These people have to be people living out in the suburbs of Portland. Out there sure you need a car but if you’re in Portland proper most places have good transit access and are fairly walkable. I say this as someone who lives outside Portland proper but still in the Metro area who drives/bikes out here but when going into the city I generally take transit and walk.

I mean Portland is pretty walkable, I live outside the city but still in the Metro area and whenever I head into the city I take public transit/walk everywhere. There definitely is still room for improvement but it’s definitely pretty walkable depending on the part you’re in, especially compared to the suburbs.

Ok but I’m pretty sure it’s like this because if they make recommendations they go from being a social media company to a publisher, so they can’t make recommendations not based on what things you watch through the algorithm. And if you don’t have an account they aren’t (at least officially) tracking what you watch to make recommendations.

I mean for context with the TikTok comparison using a VPN didn’t get you around the TikTok ban unless you also made an entirely new account.

Meanwhile pedestrians get angry at me for riding on the side walk and tell me to ride in the road, there’s no winning.
