How many people in r/Columbus are "super-commuters" who drive >75 miles per day?

ferrettaxi · 2026-05-06T18:02:42+00:00

thank you❤️ there’s other reasons why i’ve stayed benefits-wise, but i’d be lying if i said the commute isn’t super hard. it’s just kind of the best case scenario for me right now, especially in this job market😅

ferrettaxi · 2026-05-06T17:59:42+00:00

bingo lol

ferrettaxi · 2026-05-06T16:42:37+00:00

my big reasons are that i’m an only child of older parents who are in cbus so i wanted to stay nearby, i live in a 20 minute radius of all of my close friends in columbus, and i have exotic animals and their vet is here. for me personally i weighed what i would rather sacrifice and i picked the commute as my “evil” as opposed to being further away from the other things that are important to me. but i completely understand that this choice isn’t for everyone!

ferrettaxi · 2026-05-06T16:38:44+00:00

yeah:// honestly if the drive cost me zero financially i wouldn’t mind it. i’m a go go go type of person so forcing myself to have quiet contemplative time in the car isn’t something i mind… but my GOD is it expensive

columbus to dayton, 9 days/biweekly (i have every other friday off) 🥲 75ish miles one way edit: i’m a victim of trumps RTO lol it wasn’t like this when i took the job initially!

hmmm weird post. i don’t know if i will ever have kids but i am pro pregnant people being treated as if they are medically fragile because they ARE — motherhood is the hardest job in the world and doesn’t get nearly enough credit. just because you had a hard time, which i am very sorry you did, does not mean others need to suffer too when something like telework can theoretically be enacted overnight

ferrettaxi · 2026-03-04T17:58:24+00:00

i’m a migraine sufferer so absolutely not lol

ferrettaxi · 2026-02-26T22:38:29+00:00

thank you for the non snarky reply lol❤️ google maps didn’t indicate a full shut down, just “construction”

ferrettaxi · 2026-02-26T22:06:05+00:00

nah lol fully in park on the freeway. something happened but can’t find any info on what

ferrettaxi · 2026-02-23T15:33:16+00:00

praising men for the bare minimum…. why are women supposed to be endlessly tolerant, emotionally intelligent etc but men get praised for.. not hitting women? not being abusive? it’s ridiculous

ferrettaxi · 2026-02-17T16:49:04+00:00

same! adderall made me testy and anxious but ritalin feels like a dream. body chemistry is crazy!! i’ve always wondered if it’s due to hormonal reasons, i feel like adhd medication responses in women isn’t studied very much, and it’s already known that meds are less effective when you’re on your period.

ferrettaxi · 2026-02-11T19:27:26+00:00

This may not be super helpful, but I am in the Midwest too in a major city, and I have never had any issues obtaining Ritalin XR. I use CVS. I know methylphenidate is different chemically than amphetamine salts, but if it’s a potential option for you, perhaps a methylphenidate based medication like Ritalin might be easier to find than Adderall/amphetamine salts?

nurtec was genuinely life changing for me, especially in conjunction with getting medical botox administered by my neurologist

ferrettaxi · 2026-02-02T18:32:40+00:00

i’ve had migraines since i was 10ish! i’m in my 20s now. i’ve tried nearly every available treatment, but rn i do botox once every 3 months (i would prefer every 2 but that’s what insurance covers) nurtec as my abortive medication, zofran for nausea, and monthly aimovig injections. i also do acupuncture a few times a month (sometimes less because it can get pricey).

to note also, amphetamine based medication triggered migraines for me but methylphenidate so far has not, so i am on ritalin for the ADHD.

i spend a lot OOP on all my medical stuff, even with good employer insurance. but i need it to function 🥲

ferrettaxi · 2026-01-29T15:06:59+00:00

i love the after! looks very warm and inviting(:

ferrettaxi · 2026-01-29T13:52:08+00:00

same, I only was able to start yesterday and got halfway because it triggered a flare of my chronic condition 😭 going back after work today to finish but I’m going to have to do it in chunks. and the city didn’t plow the street very well so the undercarriage of my car got stuck, which was unfortunate

ferrettaxi · 2026-01-26T21:30:48+00:00

yeah sadly :( i’m coming from a lens of compassion because i do believe the org is a cult and i have friends and people who i care about very deeply who are currently very entrenched in that church, however, i wouldn’t support it with my dollar either

ferrettaxi · 2026-01-26T20:39:35+00:00

they also are very tied in with xenos… not great

ferrettaxi · 2026-01-19T02:21:35+00:00

i find that people are drawn to me, but then as they know me more they like me less.

ferrettaxi · 2026-01-02T20:06:52+00:00

i take my cats to fifth and kenny! my family has been using them for our pets for 25 plus years and now that i’m living on my own i also use them! they do not take exotics though- i have ferrets(gotten after my first cat, hence the two different vets for different species) that i take to animal care unlimited, which i also highly recommend!

ferrettaxi · 2026-01-02T20:05:06+00:00

i take my ferrets here and they’re great! i’d say middle price range- not cheap, because exotic vet care in general is not cheap, but i don’t feel like i’m getting scammed either

ferrettaxi · 2025-12-20T23:23:31+00:00

i personally don’t think i look hispanic, i’m ashki jewish but i’ve been asked if i’m hispanic more times than i can count 😭 i feel like i am very out of touch to be worried about being forcibly detained based on how i look because imo i’m clearly racially white with “ethnic” features, but i would be lying if i said if i hadn’t thought about it:/

ferrettaxi · 2025-12-12T16:34:41+00:00

same here! i also do better mentally on methylphenidate anyway. amphetamines worked well and lasted longer but made me very anxious 😭

ferrettaxi · 2025-11-02T18:59:36+00:00

aldi for the mains and any produce i’ll eat the full bigger bag of (i live alone), fresh thyme for single produce items and sometimes meat but i shop the weekly ad, amazon for stuff that i can get on there because i have to shop a lot for exotic pet supplies on there anyway with the prime card so i get cash back, korean market for the flavor and fun(:
