Cars turned us—one of the best species in long distance running into couch potatoes.

Now llms are attacking our brains and making us stupid and insane. A species of slopheads if you will.

      What’s the problem? Unless you got forcibly relocated to a different branch or something midway through your career at a certain workplace, you knew exactly what the distance was from your home when you first applied, no? Alternatively, you could move closer to work, which is literally what I did and cut my commute by ⅔s. I wish my infrastructure had better public transit, too, but all I’m saying is there are usually ways out there to reduce the pain that you can try.

        You have absolutely no idea what my situation is. I moved as close to work as I can.

        The car has taken away my ability to get to places however the fuck I want. As it stands, you either own a car or you are stuck were you are, and this is supposed to be empowering? I can’t just walk to the shop because a) it’s a 30min drive and b) there’s no pedestrian entrance. Want to experience nature? 1h30 drive, want to see a movie? It’s in a mall with no pedestrian entrance. I feel so empowered being allowed to use a single method of transport to live life.

        Cars are fine in moderation, but we’ve gone far beyond that.
