Where I live there are almost no bike lanes, not even the shitty painted ones. How dangerous is it to get on the road with all of the other cars?

What city?
As another person said, it depends.
Where I live (population under 175,000), many roads don’t have bike lanes, but I only avoid a handful where the speeds are too fast and the roads are in poor condition.
Generally speaking, if you are visible, riding in a predictable way, and are aware of your surroundings, it should be quite doable.
