  • Depends on the bear. Black bears are cowards and you can generally just make noise or act big to scare them. Brown or grizzlies you’ll want to play dead and pray then don’t try to eat you. Polar bears, good luck, better have one of those boxes really close by.

    The rule on black bears can go out the window if they are worried about their young, super hungry, or young and inexperienced with humans.

    Someone with better knowledge can correct me but that’s what I was taught when I was a kid.

    This is it 100%

    The idea of fuck cars isn’t to make drivers lives worse but to make everyone who can’t drive for any number of reasons (age, finances, anxieties and other disabilities, etc) have access to an equitable life.

    My brother has crippling anxiety behind the wheel. He’s tried driving and physically cannot do it without putting his life and the lives of those around him in danger. Should his life be worse, or should he be subjected to only living in dense metro areas his whole life because of this? Or should he have a viable transportation option no matter where he lives?

    That’s the real idea behind fuck cars. Unfortunately when people with so much are asked to share with people with little to nothing, they see it as an attack on their freedom (which only goes one way) rather than a equalization of the playing field.


  • Which is why I should get back into it.

    My uni had a yoga class that worked out to like 2 dollars a session so it was cheap to try and I really enjoyed it. I like going to classes but I don’t want to/can’t afford to pay the prices of studios so I fell out of it after uni a couple years ago. I know there’s a lot of good yoga channels on YouTube, just haven’t gotten around to picking it back up.













  • That’s not how cities work.

    Home based businesses are normal in Canada where I live, people have hair, massage, other aesthetic studios, small scale businesses, professional services like counselling, etc. Heck, you can even rezone some corner properties to a neighbourhood commercial zone that only permits a handful of uses like corner stores or coffee shops.

    The less homogenous a neighbourhood is the better it is for everyone. Unless you like being a slave to your car and driving 15 minutes to the store when you forgot milk.
