    Car culture. The idea that driving is enjoyable and physical exertion is the curse of the devil, that parking should always be free, that most people have to drive because everything is far away and there’s no way it could ever be different, and that it would all work out if we just had one more lane.

      I think physical movement is obviously very good, but I do enjoy wrenching and grassroots Motorsports. I meet a lot of friends doing it and it gets me out of the house. There’s really nothing mechanical left in today’s world since everything else is microscopic electronics.

      But I’m like .00001% of the car population, and I only drive small cars over 15 years old lol. I think everyone deserves public transport if they want it.

      Only recently crossed that bridge. Now I dread driving, having to deal with rush hour traffic, finding parking spots, and all the associated stress.

      Public transportation also has issues, but you can use the time to listen to some music, podcasts, audiobooks, online courses, books…
