Yeah, I know the replies were going to be a shit show.

It's sad...most people in the replies could visit the Netherlands, experience what is described, and then immediately claim, it is impossible on the flight home. People don't even get it when they experience it.

@danbrotherston @mbonsma Experience is a lot of it. If you only ever drive in car-centric societies, you probably only have those few stories of that person who wandered onto the street, which is legitimately scary, and that's what your brain jumps to assuming when you see posts like this. But you completely miss how scary being a pedestrian is, or how frustrating it is hear things like it is our fault we got hit crossing the sidewalk at a stop sign because we weren't wearing bright clothes.
