  • Was back when I was 19 or 20, was hanging out with my buddies from home over the summer while on break

    We were at a McDonald’s at 1:30 or 2 am. Kid around our age comes screeching into the McDonald’s parking lot, going over curbs and everything, sparks flying from two wheels. He had punctured both his front tires and was riding on rims. Turns out one of my friends knew him - he takes a look, looks at the guy, goes “yo man, you probably don’t wanna drive on those”

    Kid goes “yeah well I really want McDonald’s I’m gonna go home after”

    My friend goes “you live about 15 min away, you really shouldn’t drive.”

    He gets his shit and starts driving, sparks still going off. Were a little concerned so we follow him. 200 feet later he gets pulled over, so we pull over behind the cop. The cop looks at us and goes “do you guys know this idiot?”

    My buddy’s like yeah…

    Cop says you should get him in your car.

    Kid refuses. Drives 8 miles home in rims. Smoke everywhere, most awful sound you’ve ever heard. We follow him home, I find out he’s dumb rich.

    We go into his guest house, which was bigger than all of our actual houses, smoke one, then leave.

    First off, weird to point out that they’re “age appropriate”

    If your kid reads above the age level and understands it that’s generally a good thing

    Number two I don’t get why this is such a weird concept on how to explain things to a child. Seems pretty normal and “age appropriate”

    I commute 5 hours a day for work, and have to go in 3 times a week. I take the train now, but still have to drive 25 min to the train station. Taking the train takes exactly the same time as driving to my job. Which by itself is ridiculous. Up until recently, the option of taking the train in was not available. So I spent 5 hours in my car. The price difference between moving closer to work Vs living where I am right now is almost 2.5k a month. I don’t get paid enough to pay 48 to 52k a year in rent. I work in cancer research. The jobs are in the city, not outside. So I don’t have a choice, because every company that does what I do is in the city, and doesn’t do remote work.

    I have a feeling you don’t really understand how things work for people sometimes
