Yeah, not sure I’d give my car up. I moved about a mile from work about three years ago, so I only drive to the office about twice a week now. However, I have to travel to fairly remote parts of the state, so even if we had a rail line, I doubt it would be useful for that. My wife and I have talked about switching to…

Hand raised - I gave up my car, rely solely on bicycle and public transit which luckily I have in my area. Will gladly add more things as they become available. I also chose not to have children, which we can do no matter where we live.

I love the freedom of having a car, but am absolutely happy not to use it except for necessary trips like work, dentist, etc. The other things an enthusiastic yes. We do have a compost collection in my area which is great. If we could afford solar panels and to only get food from the local farms we are lucky enough to…

Surrendered? Probably not. Left at home mostly, yes. I own a car that was meant for driving enjoyment. But day to day all I do is commute, and all of its best attributes get washed out. I would leave it for long trips to twisty mountain roads and the like. I recycle like a madman, and my historically non-recycling…

We have trains/buses/rideshare. And we gave up our car nearly a decade ago. Though I hear ppl tend to get the cars again when/if they have children, my husband and I are not having any.

When she gave birth last spring, she used the app to chart her baby’s first online medical data — including her name, her location and whether there had been any complications — before leaving the hospital’s recovery room.

Shut the fuck up.

This is why we’re probably homeschooling our daughter.  It’s not worth it anymore for the “public school experience”.

Fuck you, dude. My lily white ass got beat down multiple times by groups of fellow crackers in the suburbs by the time I was 10, and thru my teens.

You’re not very intelligent if you think this is some rare event exclusive to “urban” kids. I went to a majority white private grade school, and a group of boys sent a smaller boy to the hospital from beating him until he passed out. The kid survived, but this little girl wasn’t so lucky. Kids of all backgrounds,…

Sue the school, be done with them, and name names of those who did shit with your reports because fuck them.

And cougars were supposed to be financially well off, the female equivalent of a sugar daddy.

It’s funny, whenever I think of how therapists and social workers are portrayed negatively in media, Sean from Good Will Hunting is one of two examples I immediately go to. Because looking at countertransference really is a fundamental professional skill and you really, really, really don’t physically attack your…

Hannibal in Hannibal was a great therapist, so long as the best treatment was being hollowed out in a harrowing process of psychological rebirth in which you emerge a new and terrifying entity ready to impose yourself upon the world.

Niles was always much better.  The fact that Niles was a bit of a mess personally, but always a very competent therapist was one of the best parts of the show.

Which psychiatrist ate his patients? Surely you don’t mean Dr. Lecter, who ate many people who weren’t his patients, but(unless there is a minor exception or two I’m forgetting) he never actually ate his patients.

No evisceration here! In fact, I as a trans person largely agree with you. :)

Never said it was for me to decide.

I pulled you out of the greys because I deserve this criticism and wish I could dismiss my own post. My point was, more generally, that it seems a small minority of women, especially mothers, are obsessed with trans people, and the bathroom issues always come up. I can kind of understand why (not really), but on the…

You obviously know nothing of the Restaurant business. Every customer you let leave your place of business will complain to their family, friends, people a work, and social media. One FB user can inform 5000 friends of your folly. All the expensive ad money you spend you just threw it away over a couple of bucks.…
