Yeah and if I kept investing $100 a month in the lottery it could be worth $500M today. Or it could be worthless because, as this clown already knows, no one can predict the next 30 fucking years like some clairvoyant.

OK, Biff, if you’re so smart, what’s the play right now? Why aren’t you investigating $100 a month in a small online bookstore that will one day be a tech supergiant?

A completely sane viewpoint that respects the different needs and preferences of others? Weird.

Always look both ways, no matter how long the light has been green. I need to see you’re paying attention though, that’s the thing. So many people in the front of the line are sitting on their phone so sleeping or whatever the fuck. It’s pretty obvious when someone is just checking the intersection before moving vs. not even looking at the damn road.

This goes for more than just driving too. If you’re next in line at the café and you can’t be fucked to think about anyone behind you while you finish sending a text or whatever while the server is waiting to take your order, you’re an asshole. Make your order, pay, then do what you want to do.

Ah yes, the car: the pinnacle of freedom. Except no, it’s the opposite. It’s like being addicted to cigarettes. Once you’ve become fully dependent on them, and built your routine around them, and literally your whole schedule revolves around them, you forget how much life was before you decided to pick it up.

Freedom of mobility is being just as able to get from point A to point B as anyone else despite being physically unable to operate a motor vehicle. Freedom of mobility is not being stuck in endless traffic jams, burning the planet to the ground to stay cool in the middle of a 12 lane asphalt heat trap. Freedom of mobility is being able to hop up to the corner store without ever setting foot inside a car.

We, citizens of the USA, are slaves to the car.

This is the hurdle, but we have to find a way. I honestly believe this is a big part of the dysfunction in the USA at the moment. We are so disconnected from each other. Cars exacerbate that problem.

I saw one the other day: “I met Jesus in prison”. Damn, what did he do?

I was handed a water bottle the.other day at a volunteer event and was lamenting the fact that in the US, we don’t have attached caps. I almost immediately lost mine. It’s possible to make them attached, AND not suck.

I’ve not been paying attention to the memeverse lately and having returned now to find that Möth is a thing again just warms my heart. Like a 1000W sodium lamp.

Well isn’t that just adorable.
