I can't believe it's a crime 💔 I can't imagine getting anywhere without jaywalking. And I'm the pedestrian! I'm the one facing hot weather, rain and not in the comfort of a car producing carbon gas! I can go anywhere and they should always stop for me! Truly what is the driver gonna do? Run me over? They don't have the guts! I'm the ruler of these streets! Go jaywalk!! They can't run all of us over! ! 🏃🏃🏃

reocurringdreams there is a saying in Portuguese we say before crossing the street in an especially irresponsible way that translates to: "The driver is seeing me, he is not crazy", that express the trust that they'll slow down or stop the car, but the truth is that many times they are crazy!!

i love to have this exact mentality when i’m a pedestrian and then when i’m in my car very much being in the mindset of i will hit you if you don’t move the fuck out of the road

choc_orange hahaha, I don't drive but I get the feeling. Luckily what both pedestrians and drivers can agree is that we all hate cyclists. Peace and love on planet earth 🫶

Fun (?) fact: California decriminalized jaywalking in 2023 because enforcing it affected the poor and minorities disproportionately. It was an excuse for cops to harrass people.

listen carefully when i tell you this.. you have the right of way in just about every situation. it is the car driver's responsibility to not hit people. now i'm not condoning jumping into traffic here. you should still make responsible decisions as a pedestrian. BUT you must feel empowered to exercise your right of way. is a car trying to roll thru a stop sign while you're crossing and attempting to cut you off? keep walking. get in their way and make them slow down. look directly at them thru the windshield. mouth (or shout) the words "thank you" and smile at them without breaking eye contact and without breaking your stride. bonus points for slowing down your pace and making them wait even longer. this is my daily retaliation against car-centric infrastructure. make them think, at least for one single moment, about their mistake and remind them that roads are for people before they are for cars. always.

One of the things I like the most about Pi.fyi and the current scale of users is that it's still noticeable when a rec was inspired by another. Sometimes the rec directly mentions the other, but other times you can kinda assume that reading an especific thing here triggered a memory or an ideia. It's very cute and interesting to notice the small influences interacting with other humans online can have.
