In the upper photo it’s more like 15 people at most. The inefficiency of cars astounding once you actually start paying attention to it. Moving to cars for every transit mode is in the 10 ten worst decisions humanity has ever made.
The other 15-20 are behind the camera, causing a grid lock traffic jam.
The top three for me are cars, bathroom attendants, and the brassiere
And in the bottom picture, it’s reasonable to assume the inside of the shop is just about as full. There’s like 8 times as many people
I see 7 people getting a coffee in the top photo.
Okay well there’s 17 in the bottom, there’s 18 people but I hope the infant isn’t getting one. Actually there’s a few more people behind the cart to the left, they don’t appear to be getting coffee though
Honestly seems more of a critique of grind culture we’ve got in the US. Used to be you had time in the morning or afternoon to enjoy a cafe but now you’ve got a job you can’t afford to quit in a town you can’t afford to live in and need to drive an hour to get there with gas you can’t afford… that last part because there are no trains anymore, too.
Yeah, halfway through that, I admit it’s also still bullshit car culture nonsense, too. Lol
Bring back third spaces!!
I love this youtube channel and this guy’s gentle critique of the concept of third space, in favor of alternative goals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8E5MegoW2pA
thanks! I’ll give it a listen during my workday!
Nah that top photo is at most 10 people getting a coffee.
I mean I agree, but have any of you been to a busy cafe or restaurant? Listening to 30 people inevitably shouting over each other while I try to drink coffee isn’t my idea of enjoyment.
In the below picture you can still take your coffee and walk off to a more quiet place.
Even the architecture of the Starbucks is so inhuman. It looks like a fireplace in an AirBnB that’s just a TV that shows a video of a fire.
Personally, I dont want to sit with that many people. Get in my car and drive away from them as far as I can
“I want the benefits of society without being part of that society.”
Who is complaining about benefits? Projecting much?
I dunno, sharing a single coffee with 30 other people sounds like a pain whether everybody’s in cars or not.
Cars suck
Is that the Inception cafe?
