    how do their children walk to school if there’s no bloody paths? Come on.

    They don’t. There is a reason why kids are so desperate to get a driver’s license, as before they do they are effectively trapped in their house if they are unlucky enough to live away from transit (Or even if they are they are still somewhat trapped). Before then they are driven to school and to activities. That is where the stereotype of the “Soccer mom” comes from.

    Local government should be run out of office for endangering the kids like that, nevermind everyone else.

    There is a perception that walking is inherently dangerous and for the poor, so people would get run out of office for trying to fix things. In Canada most cities have sidewalks to most places, but not to wealthier neighbourhoods.

    I mean… how do wheelchair users etc get around? Christ.

    Most of the bigger busses here can ‘kneel’ to let people on if need be, and if they live far from transit then they can schedule special busses to pick them up. The trains are also very good on accessibility. All of this is in a city with fairly well funded transit, in most cities and towns they are completely dependent on others to drive them around.

    Forgot to mention the absolutely incredible alt text:

    Text

    At the top is written “Average D&D Party:”

    A stern warrior clad in iron armor, with a billowing red cape and a red cloth tied around his waist. His hands rest on the handle of a very wide sword, the tip of which stands on the ground in front of him. He is labeled “Warrior on a just and noble quest to defeat an existential threat to the world that they live in.”

    A girl with messy, blonde hair, and a bronze chestplate sewn directly onto her sleeveless shirt. She has a white ribbon tying a small messy ponytail at the back top of her hair, and is wearing tall boots with bronze arcs attached to the top of the foot parts. She is carrying a large bronze hammer, and a large bronze shield with a very upset-looking face engraved on it. She herself has an innocent expression. She is labeled “Idiot”.

    A woman clad in purple with a long-sleeved shirt with symmetrical holes on the arms and torso. She has pointed ears, like an elf, and is wearing gold earings and two gold necklaces. She also wears a dress that looks somewhat like a lamp cover with a spider-web pattern on it, and has a strap that wraps around her shoulder. She wears a placid, pretty expression, but behind her in low opacity is her face distorted with mischief and hate. She is labeled “Manipulator”.

    A small mage dressed in green with yellow details, and with a long, frilly mage hat featuring a poofy yellow flower on the forehead area. She also wears an equally frilly green cloak held together by a star shaped button, and golds a lightning bolt shaped spellcasting staff. She has an innocent expression, but sharp teeth and two side-ponytails peaking out from beneath her hat. She is labeled “Other, Smaller Idiot”.
