Hmm. I’m too used to a severe lack of good train and bus options. On thinking it over, I’d love to take a nice clean, comfortable and on-time train for long distances, even if they stay American slow.

I’d like to have options to ride public transportation or bike safely, and still have a car for fun and far distance travel

That’s a good point

They’re not synonyms, but they are close enough that when said quickly they can be homonyms

Repeating what many have said, those rules are written in blood.

By keeping the speeds low.

From the article:

“Power comes from a modest electric motor, thought to be sourced from an e scooter and powered by a 24 V battery, pushing the car to about 15 km/h (9 mph) with an approximate 25 km (15 mi) range.”

To be more physically fit rather than becoming a Fitter, try landscaping, concrete work (if you’re brave enough to wear a mask for the dust and get called sissy all day long), or farm work if you’re interested in a wide variety of physically demanding tasks that are also dangerous.

Fixing the thought that you deserve it is the hard part. It’s a self-reinforcing worldview that colors everything that comes in. People can say exactly the right thing, but depression will twist the way that you perceive their words.

Aren’t they porpoises? I mean, I think they’re related to dolphins.

As opposed to the light-hearted, fun side of cannibalism?

An interesting insight I learned from a YouTuber who binged a TV show that toured mansions, most of those enormous houses come with one normal-size room. That room is where the residents spend the majority of their time. Often, it’s a kitchen. Sometimes, it’s a “small” smoking room or even just an especially cozy corner of an oversized living room.

Yeah, really. Who’s the conveniently helpless one now?

Scamper the Penguin, anyone?

I very much remember why those were traumatic

I thought I was seeing the same jeep over and over, but no… Most of them have a whole row of ducks all of a sudden
