Given the options of “drive, fly, or take a bus somewhere” or “shit out a tangle of goop and limbs you schlep around for 8 months” then you can’t really blame anyone but yourself if you choose b. Additionally if you can’t afford $400 and a round trip plane ticket to Las Vegas to get it scraped out then what the fuck are you even doing having a kid in the first place?
A fun and effective way to manipulate people is to learn their opinions and then repeat them back to them. Even better if you can tell them what opinions to have first.
My grandfather’s guaranteed method of giving troublesome cats leukemia was tuna fish mixed with antifreeze.
Everyone was evacuated to the bathroom while the substance was safely eliminated at which point they all talked over one another discussing their sure fire business plans and how awesome Led Zeppelin is.
Imagine having green bubbles.
Usually females have a greater distance between their brain and skull because they have considerably smaller brains.
How much horrific awkward teenage shit did Reddit have to go through to get where it is now? Bacon narwhals at midnight, rage comics, bullying an uninvolved brown kid into suicide after the Boston bombings, reluctantly removing CP adjacent subs only after being called out on cable news, the /r/fatpeoplehate nonsense, /r/antiwork mod humiliating xirself on Fox News, the woody harrelson rampart ama, fumbling the bag by firing Victoria, probably 20 more.
They should have let her save him.
Now imagine a tradesman dragging 400 lbs of tools and equipment back and forth on a train every day and on every train and bus to each job site. Then the fresh new hell of losing an additional hour every day because train run every 15 minutes from 7-10am but only on the hour before that. Now the 5am and 6am trains are jam packed SRO full of carps and welders and electricians all with their full kit. Dooming labor to a dystopian hellscape by thinking 0 steps ahead and idealistic nonsense.
These should be sold as single, half burnt shoes.
Could you imagine if you were forced into a transportation situation that didn’t meet your needs? That would suck. Luckily we are all free to choose what works best for ourselves.
“I can go wherever I want whenever I want and carry a reasonable amount of cargo or people if need be” trumps any other argument against cars. 😉
So here’s the thing with that- doing the exact same thing every day is even worse for me because the memory of doing it every day for the past x days occasionally ends up ticking off the check box in my mind for today as well. Also the way my brain is wired it often ends up counting “remembering to do/bring a thing” as “doing/bringing the thing”. It’s a wild way to live life and it’s a constant patchwork of coping mechanism and cheats and hacks to get things done. AirTags help out a great deal.
It’s usually cheaper and more time efficient to stock up on more things less often. I don’t have the time or inclination to doodle around the Fred Meyers three times a week to pick up a single baguette.
