I used to be strictly materialist and atheist. Now I’m pretty spiritual. Don’t necessarily follow a religion and don’t support bigotry but yeah, I’m fairly spiritual now. This is a recent development and I never thought I’d be here like 5 years ago.

        Yeah. I live in one of those places were everyone else thinks it’s necessary to own a car.

      Idk depends where you’re at. In the US some regions you’re basically not a participating part of society without one particularly out west. On the East coast there are several cities where having a car becomes more of a liability than anything. Public transit is good enough with some caveats.

      Having had a car in the bay area I literally would not have survived without it. I’ve since moved east and had my car break down a few weeks ago. Honestly not as bad as I thought it would be. Definitely had to cut some things out of my schedule that were on the opposite side of the city and get used to the occasional crackhead/tweaker but I’m honestly saving more money than expected. The convince of a car only really shows up with dating and cutting 10-30 minutes from most of my travel.

      All that to say I mostly agree with you.

      i had roommates in a city where you don’t need a car who would drive their car to work rather than walk a KM. If you asked them why it was ‘it’s too far to walk’.
