I haven't owned a car since 2014 - it has saved me a lot of money just relying on public transit
Yesterday my mom called me 4 times in the span of like 30 minutes to yell at me about how I caused their divorce and I'm literally giving her health problems... because I considered buying a car
Ask your parents for a ride then.
Oh...nvm
also biking
I don't think my parents want to drive 5 hours across the state to take me to the grocery store
and I genuinely rather break my back than be in the car with them
Lol
My mom would offer me rides to work when I lived with her and I would never accept because they drive me insane
If they are 5 hours away, do they have to know
my dad sees my bank account
@Nemets I disagree on public transportation, but it's likely cheaper where you are. I still bike often for groceries.
@Jacob open a new account and save
uhhh ya I rather not get my ass beaten when they somehow find out
yeah, no need to cause a rift in family over a car
oh the rift is there and it's permanent
One time my mom threatened to stab herself and blame it on me... because I was up too late
my parents are genuinely crazy
kurwa...
@Nemets also very good to see you, wish we could have talked more, everything was so busy
😯
@Freiheit - CA nice to see you too man - you gotta come down to LA sometimes
or just invite me to a norcal event
Maybe you guys should plan a huge action on a Sunday.
We can do that also
@Nemets carrying groceries on a bike sounds a lot worse than just walking
and I'm sure you have better buses in a big city
Just get a huge pack and ruck 80 pounds of groceries
Attach carabiners to a backpack
I'm only half joking
We need more guys like nemets
"Tell me the nearest airport to fly into and I'll be there"
1.2 miles
I have two panniers and a backpack...I ride 6 miles ~30minutes, buy all my stuff, ride home. If I make a mental menu I can get 2 weeks of food sorted out.
@Nemets Not all of us are blessed to live in a climate where biking is possible 12 months of the year 😂
In other words, some of us like seasons.
We have a season.
Also living in the country is nice, but prohibitive for non-car owners.
