Casual googling by me (not a horse enthusiast) reveals that a horse costs about the same as a used car, which is exactly what Jalops are buying.

Farmers don’t own horses, they have tractors. Horse enthusiasts own horses. This includes people who live in the country, and even people who live in the city.

Sorry, not sure I follow what you’re saying?

Also, see my obvious username.

Can we see some Europeans respond to this article? I believe in what the author is preaching, and I’d like to think that most Europeans (both urban and rural) would agree with her.

You know, a lot of Jalops are actually cool with this. Step one in her plan is discouraging cars in city centers, which many of us are fine with.

The author lives in LA, doesn’t own a car, and walks.

Yeah she’s car free in Los Angeles.

...though the first (and most promising) study has this disclaimer to add: “All authors are members of the medical advisory board of the Private Gym male pelvic floor training system”. Which implies they get paid to do this research?

I mean, we all know you’re being sarcastic, but what part of your second sentence isn’t true? Even your third sentence, tons of Jalops talk about the need for more driver training before granting licenses (see Finland/Europe).

It’s only 6th most populous as measured by city population. By metro population it’s 14th.

...then maybe we need to change our motto? Like maybe “Motoring at its finest” instead of “Driving is literally the most important thing in the world, fuck pedestrians”.

Wow, that was a complete 180 (start to end). Thank you.

Damn Alissa Walker, I love your posts but you’re getting destroyed in these comments. Guess somebody has to talk to the conservatives though. Doing god’s work here :)

Good question, wondering the same thing too. But we should note that it’s not possible to know why exactly she chose to wear a bindi, fitting in vs Columbusing. Though given her later choices (*cough* harajuku girls) it’s probably the latter.

Just to be more obvious for everybody, Gwen dated her bandmate Tony Kanal who is Indian. Though that doesn’t tell us her logic behind wearing a bindi.

Maybe raise the gax tax? Disincentivize driving while paying for the alternate option (transit).

OMG this!
