  • Focus on finding people you feel safe around and want to and actually enjoy being with. If that’s not your family that’s fine too.

    You don’t need to shun people unless they are crossing boundaries. Then absolutely and if you communicated that then that was their choice, not your fault.







  • Right. I will say there is a lot of the US where cars make sense because they use the same roads that farm equipment uses (which does not make much sense to build rail for), but in the cities (and thus the suburbs) it seemed largely cultural from any historical analysis I’ve seen (with segregation, excessive monopolization of passenger rail, and the advent of modern advertising).







  • I drove a car with adaptive cruise and it was cool. Still as stressful as some cities subway lines (learning curve for me and most places kind of assume you know). The monorail and Tesla loop in Vegas were both much less stressful but the loop was kind of worthless (just as much walking to it as there was to just walk to the entrance of the convention center). Autopilot on planes seems pretty decent now too, but the cost of flights and layovers still stress me out. They are really only worth to get to a destination for a while and in a rush.

    That said the self driving of a subway would be the way I would go if I had to choose a day to day option. As long as it’s consistent and at most one change over it’s not that bad to navigate.
