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.

This is victim blaming. Tired of getting brutally and violently raped? Well just don’t get raped ya silly goose! 😒

What you’ve written sounds clunky and weird. It’s like, you can embody something, and you can be living proof of something, but saying someone is “trying to embody living proof of [something]” is a mistake an alien pretending to be human would make. 😉

“Forgot something” probably isn’t the edge case scenario you think it is, it’s just a matter of convenience vs necessity to fix it. If I forgot my lunch I’m not going to ride the train into the city then back then back again, but if I forgot the only copy of the keys to the work van well then I have to.

Sure, have contingencies in place, but the real world does not often go as expected.
