For instance, when someone describes going to school as “traumatic,” they often simply refer to it as a negative experience. This is not to say that everyone who went to school never had a traumatic experience; however, some individuals appear to overuse the term. Another example could be considering being lightly pushed into a locker as “traumatic.”
It’s taking a lot of willpower here to not go on a rant complaining about car culture and societies double standards around motor vehicles. So I’ll just leave it there.
I have no such inhibitions!
Fuck cars, let’s build walkable neighborhoods and trains. Then people with trauma that makes it hard to miss a text won’t have to risk everyone’s lives just to go to the grocery store.
Same. If I had a time machine my first act would be to grab copies of high-speed magnetized rail patents and all required automation and other associated technology, go back a number of years before Henry Ford fucks public transit, start my own company with those patents, win out the contracts for rail and Build a public transit utopia after slapping Henry Ford in the face.
Afterwards I guess I’d probably kill pre-Nazi Hitler or sthn IDK.
I think you might need robots in order to build magnetised rail. I have a feeling the tolerance is tighter than humans can manage. And maybe you need rare earth metals too? I don’t know anything about HSR technology but I think there’s a practical reason it wasn’t built before robots and global supply lines.
Very well, my company shall start with globalization robots, THEN move on to nation-wide HSR. Certainly nothing else would prevent this from succeeding.
