  • Everyone basically saying that you can fuck yourself and should never drive again is a bit of a dick at best. It’s ofc perfectly fine to not want to drive. But if you do have to, or if you end up wanting to in the future, it’s not like this was your only chance and you can never again learn. If you want/have to get back to it, please practice with someone experienced in a calm and safe environment. Pay for an instructor, go to and empty parking lot, etc. Take as much time as you need before you’re good enough to drive in traffic again.




  • I mean, it’s not just herd mentality. I’m just not willing to lock myself out of relationships because of my principles. It’s not my fault my mum can’t be convinced to ditch Whatsapp for signal. Not willing to give up communication with her.

    Herd mentality would be if you did a thing because others do it even if there wouldn’t be any loss from switching to a better thing. It’s more complex if you’d lose out a great deal from the switch.




  • Hm, depends how ‘breaking down’ is defined. Because it usually doesn’t mean there’s no toxic substance left. Instead, plastic degradation often IS the formation of micro or nano plastics. In this case, it’s irrelevant how long this process takes without knowing how long it takes until there’s no toxicity left.

    Also, if something is described as ‘biodegradable’, I wouldn’t blame a consumer for composting it. And if it actually poisons the compost, that’s net harm. So, it’d be actively harmful green washing.
