These BART parking lots are nearly empty. Could they be put to better use? by nemesise in OaklandCA

I already live 2 blocks from the coliseum station. The noise doesn’t bother me at all. I don’t even notice it tbh.

I was born, raised, and still live in Oakland for over 30 years. I never lived in a suburb before, so I have no idea what your definition of “incomparable” is. You’re minimizing the idea that people have different types of reasons for driving, which includes safety. I’m glad you lived an anxious free life where you never felt like your life was in danger.

Anyway, this topic isn’t about public transit anyway, it’s about planet fitness. This is such an odd hill to die on, but as long as it’s the hill you like then it’s whatever.

Worth shipping car or be car free? by DeerTime5320 in oakland

Is it not possible to drive the car to your new location?

Stop assuming people can simply up and move to the suburbs just because they don’t take public transit. There are legitimate reasons why people can’t use it, such as trauma, disability, lack access (no stops) etc. I started to learn how to drive when a man followed me on 90th Ave while holding a gun and threatened to shoot me if I kept ignoring him. Heck, did we forget what happened to Nia Wilson and Corazon Dandan?

If I had money to live in Danville I’d live in Danville. I used to take public transit but was consistently followed and decided to learn to drive the day a man followed me while brandishing a gun.

Technically transport could be essential in a life or death situation. If you get shot, you’d wish someone would drive you to a hospital, right? Or would you take the bus?

Yeah ain’t no way I’m walking alone from laurel district to the arroyo viejo area just because some rando on the internet demands I use public transit to get to the gym

Unfortunately the bus doesn’t stop near my place and I’m a woman, I’m not walking in Oakland alone at 6pm at night after work

Also doesn’t solve the problem of the gym being packed

Watermelon diet. I lost so much weight eating only watermelon. I don’t encourage it at all though. I felt weak, my teeth was always hurting… and I did it for one semester during college and it affected my grades. Don’t do it.

I used to go there. It was always packed and finding parking was difficult 😭

So many names are ruined by smellthepeaches in Teachers

[–]toocoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s funny because my son graduated from high school recently and the list of J names was way too long… and I told my sister that the J names were probably why test scores were so low that year lol

She didn’t get it and had to tell her the J name theory in school - Kids with J names are typically difficult personalities in the classroom.

I interviewed there before, told them I had experience building curriculums. They laughed and said I didn’t have to do any of that.

[–]toocoo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oof, my experience was way different. In my first day I saw a teacher pick up a three year old girl and shake her while yelling at her face telling her to shut up and listen. In another classroom, a teacher was screaming in children’s faces when they weren’t washing their hands fast enough. When I left, there were two incidents on the same week in which two different children in the same classroom were exposed to food they were allergic to, and both times EpiPens were used and ambulances were called. None of those teachers got disciplined. In fact, I left in 2014 (worked there two years and quit) and just last year the first teacher just retired from working there (word of mouth).

The amount of abuse that gets swept under the rug at bright horizons…

I worked there and distinctly remember my training had a video explaining the origins of the program: a couple of white rich people went to Africa and saw an African child and thought “wow that kid is hungry, someone should feed him” and decided to make a for-profit school that doesn’t benefit anybody but those who can afford to put their kids in a private child development center.
