@melissasage So we should be pronouncing those letters, right?
cold take
Trying to fit "Person who doesn't drive" into a privileged/not privileged framework ultimately doesn't make much sense outside of further context.
A homeless person living out of a tent and a celebrity with a valet are both non-drivers.
An impoverished person taking the bus in Brooklyn is not "outsourcing driving to the poor" when the MTA driver is making an order of magnitude more than they are.
re: a potentially 🌶️ political thought
@wigglytuffitout In some ways it is mirroring it and yet in others it's like, for some people, they actually don't have a choice to use a car.
There's like a mix of being on either the privileged side of the spectrum or the non-privileged side all using the same public transport system and as someone who outright is too terrified of getting a driver's licence because I'm too autistic to trust myself driving a car, I see that some of the silicon valley "solutions" to public transport are basically gentrifying a system that's supposed to be MORE, not LESS accessible to disabled people
I know these studies are underfunded, I don't have a better solution, I know the system is designed for this sort of outcome -- it's just that I've probably done a dozen or so at this point and it sucks!

Baby Yoda theory: Yoda actually ages backwards, as evidenced by his immature behaviour stealing Luke's food and going through his belongings in Empire Strikes Back
Even better: it was at one point going to be localized as s Sonic game.
Starring Sonic's sister.
But gamers rose up and protested, saving us, for once, from Sega's poor decision-making.
The Story of Texas in one sentence
A bunch of white dudes moved to Mexico, then got pissed when Mexico's laws changed forbidding them from owning slaves, so, rather than moving back from whence they came, they stole a good chunk of Mexico and later decided to join the US, where they'd later get pissed about the US doing the same thing.
Trans, guy of center, well over 18.
I'm in tech and it feels weird.
