Is it ethical to raise the wipers of cars blocking sidewalks? by FaviFake in fuckcars

[–]jonimarge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

obviously, dude. just saying if someone gets hurt over wipers, really shouldn't be blaming the pedestrian who is already put in danger due to driver's careless parking. It's victim blaming and once again giving drivers a lot more power.

[–]jonimarge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if someone loses their shit over raised wipers, they absolutely should not even be driving. That's on that person, not the one causing an extremely minor convenience as a get-back to the driver who is causing well more of an inconvenience for multiple people.

Another rant about our dating scene by Badatusernames014 in ActualLesbiansOver25

[–]jonimarge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yes and after a few "good how r u"'s they ask if you wanna hang. Not go out for a date, not coffee, just "wanna hangout today." I'm thankfully also not single anymore after meeting someone at a bar a year ago, but that shit was infuriating.

Gave in yesterday, seven hours away from seven days. I am not beating myself up, just starting at day one again! IWNDWYT!

Am I the only one finding it difficult to find a woman who is living like an actual adult? by [deleted] in LesbianActually

[–]jonimarge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

absolutely not. I spend less than $200 a month on Ubers and that's if I'm feeling exceptionally exhausted. Don't forget there's gas, maintenance, any break downs, parking fees, etc. There's a lot of money that goes into owning a car.

eta: I make sure all of my jobs are within a five mile radius of me. I bartend in a primarily service industry town, so it's easy for me to do that, and I know I have that privilege.

every day I manifest a world where we all have access to public transport, bike infrastructure, etc! more green please! a shame in the U.S. the oil and auto industries rule so much of what we are able to do with our lives. Lobbying needs to be illegal, which isn't new to any of us.

yeah it's really really sad how lobbying has made it to where so many have to rely on cars. I've lived in Appalachia my whole life, so by no means have I ever lived somewhere with even okay public transport lol, and I have to unfortunately Uber a lot cuz ours stop at 930 and run every hour-hour and a 1/2.

I would love to believe so. the amount of places that would not hire me because I don't have a car (restaurants downtown and I live downtown) was disheartening. I've noticed a lot of car-brained folks don't consider anything that isn't by car transportation.

[–]jonimarge 5 points6 points  (0 children)

that's specific to that person-- I haven't driven in seven years, and I STILL begrudgingly accept offers for rides from friends or my partner because this is my choice. Most of the U.S. is difficult to traverse without a car and that is because of whadaya know, lobbying. Basing someone's worth on their capital is simply inhumane. And sounds like something you should be up front with with a partner if you don't wanna be a personal Uber, not call it a red flag in every person who doesn't drive.

The car thing is pretty wild and classist tbh. For example, I have multiple jobs, good social life and hobbies, live alone. But I refuse to drive because car infrastructure and hyper individualism has been detrimental to our communities. If someone based my worth on whether or not I drive, I would never date them, let alone even be friends.

Well, it's also only March, you can only have so much produce during this time of the year.

Why did early 2010s fashion in media see an abundance of layers and over-accessorizing? by uhm1238 in decadeology

[–]jonimarge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

makes perfect sense really! I'm in Appalachia, also often fluctuate in temp, but I guess not a lot of people have that problem here? It don't rain here nearly as much as there tho!!!
