English, but everything is spelled according to a phonetic alphabet @melissasage

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.
Trans, guy of center, well over 18.
I'm in tech and it feels weird.
