  • I just watched a movie called The Life of Chuck. At one point in the movie, due to failing infrastructure, people were just sitting in their cars, not getting anywhere because traffic was gridlocked.

    Eventually, people abandoned their cars, dejected, and walked home. After that, people seemed to have concluded that any kind of transportation was now impossible. Nobody in this movie ever considered the option of riding a fucking bike! Not a single bike in this movie once cars were off the table.

    People are so locked into thinking that a car is their prosthetic limb and that they’re disabled without it. Fuck cars.

    I realize that more expensive fuel for transport of goods means more expensive everything. We need fuel and we need a plan for a transition to renewable energy. Hopefully these refineries shutting down will provide an impetus.

    The mature thing to do and the most “I don’t give a fuck” way to be is just to move out of the way of people who want to go fast and leave lots of space between you and an aggressive driver.

    I’ve spent a lot of time riding motorcycles. Your awareness changes and you learn to identify danger.

    Seriously, why do you give a shit about the weirdo whose driving is pissing you off? When you’re in a car, the easiest way to get this person out of your life is to just slow down a little.

    Driving like an old person is chill as fuck. Better gas mileage, too.
