I’m just saying that people intentionally trying to sound poignant and profound often do not.

In all seriousness I have commuted into a major city for various gigs throughout my life, including driving in at trades rush hour (5-6am), driving in at normie rush hour (7-10am), and driving in at off hours (around 11am-12pm) and a one hour drive leaving at 5am would be a two hour drive leaving at 7am and it would be a 30 minute drive at 11:30am. Taking the train in generally took about an hour ± 20 minutes depending on getting to the station, finding parking, and catching the correctly timed train. The delicious baked-in luxury of being alone and going wherever you want in a car instead of having to pile in another fart tube with 100 other people also rules.

The real answer is: it’s complicated and painting everyone with the same brush is kind of shitty.

One time I did all my grocery shopping for the month by train but I had to bring six friends to help carry everything home and I had to pay for all their tickets there and back. I bought them all dinner for wasting hours in their day to do what one person could trivially accomplish with one car. It actually ended up being cheaper to just pay the premium for instacart and tip the driver.

I take the express train. I don’t want my one hour commute to be a two hour commute because they stop for five minutes every 8 minutes and have to get back up to speed. I already have to wake up ten minutes earlier to take the light rail, change trains to a local, take that three stops to a hub, and change to the express train. I should just buy a car.

Why wouldn’t people talk about the thing that is going on? What do you want them to talk about, how terrible the name beehaw is? The world isn’t ready for that discussion.

I like trains because if I notice I forgot something important 20 minutes into a one hour commute it will set me back two hours and forty minutes.

Being super into cheese dynamics is a very french trait. You should also vandalize a Holocaust memorial and light a police officer on fire to complete the look.

I made the correct decision to bail.

Fuck your dick you shitty pissbanana. Let people talk about things that are going on and let the conversations develop naturally. If you really want to control what people can and can’t talk about go back to Reddit and start your own sub where you can aggressively moderate until you’re happy with your finely cultivated echo chamber.
