Nah McDonald's is worse. Lube washes off; fry smell, not so much.

The bitch is that we need to not only overcome capitalism and the right, but also the brand of liberal consultant that makes 6 figures a year blaming bad actors in defense of the system that makes them.

Even then, you can socialize during a lot of this, too. Cook with friends. Have community meals. Socialize with coworkers. Etc.

Edit: It's funny, I'll say 'Unionize' and anyone with half a brain will cheer, but the second I say "Hey maybe it would be good to build actual community with people you want to build defenses against capitalism with," I'm the bad guy

I mean realistically I wanted to change. And despite our issues, they were extremely supportive, even if they didn't want to change, too. Then I started getting frustrated when they didn't, or expected me to be who I was; then we started fighting, then I started changing without them, and slowly the relationship crumbled. It's like I grew too big for a box: Slowly I pressed against the walls, started breaking them, and now I just don't fit anymore. And like, this isn't a value judgement of them: They don't want a depressed partner, they want a homebody partner, and I was that at one point. But I can't be anymore, not just because it's not me anymore, but also because trying hurts. Trying isn't just changing myself, it's reliving all the reasons I was a homebody.

Oh, yes. I know my accident was like maybe a third of a percentage point of all accidents. Even then, my car didn't fully ignite, just smoke, I just didn't know what was and wasn't going on. But you're right, the article is weird about the EMT bit.

Knives are definitely easy. I still stand by my seatbelt cutter though; I was once in an accident, I was unconscious for a bit, concussed, airbags, smoke coming in, etc. No one was close, I was too fucked up to figure out the seatbelt, but I remembered my cutter on the door panel. Could a knife have done it? Yes. Was I in a state where I could safely handle a knife without hurting myself? Probably not. I wouldn't recommend a cutter as an emt tool, but as a driver I'll always keep mine.
