Everybody but Android fanboys know that it's shit, even Google does, hence they are going to merge it with Chrome OS. While the change is obviously going to affect Chromebooks more, it's very likely that they are going to rewrite Android from scratch. It would allow them to introduce something like continuity, help to finally get rid of the lag and solve the update problem.

Hi there!
You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form.

Blogpost:
there will never be good public transit even in large cities because there isn't an industry backed by the power of billions $tacos. Automobiles got the foothold and aren't going anywhere. Basically you can go fuck yourself if you don't have a car because this is capitalism.
Public transit in America is basically for the poor/nobody. It exists just so politicians can say its there and steal whatever budget it gets. If you actually take public transit and have any type of job you would probably lose it in a week because you're relying on a 30 year old cattlecart riding on a 100year old + infrastructure.

I am not even talking about interstate trains or bus travel. I'm talking about transportation inside and in the immediate suburbs of the third largest city in Clapistan

Hi there!

You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!

Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bait to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!

It's a sad fate for such a great way to move around in many places, even my fucking university has shit for transport with cars running through campus often cutting close to running you down.

The real problem arises when you can so easily lose your license, and by that lose everything because you need your license for pretty much fucking everything. Also idiots can drive and kill tons because everyone needs a vehicle to literally anything.

For CDLs you have to take your test in a manual truck to keep from getting an automatic transmission only restriction. The same goes for airbrakes. For private licenses it doesn't matter.
