  • 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.

    I’m not trying to discount any of your feelings or experiences, I went through this same thing for years until I met my current (and first) gf; for context I was 28 when we started going out.

    I hated hearing it when I was in your situation but it’s always been true for me, work on yourself and keep yourself open and things will eventually happen. I gave up trying to find a girlfriend when I was 27 after years of striking out irl and on dating apps and decided to focus on myself. I was starting a graduate program and got a cool public art opportunity through my city so I just put all my energy into that which helped me focus less on tinder and my lack of sex (kinda) . One day this girl I worked with dumped her loser boyfriend and after several failed attempts to ask her out (I’m bad at putting things down, she’s bad at picking things up) i finally had a date. Four years later and she’s begging me for a ring.

    Life is tough and even harder when you don’t have someone to experience it with. Again, I don’t know your situation and I don’t want to just be another asshole saying things will get better cause I fucking hate those people when I was sad and lonely, but I genuinely do believe good things come to those who wait. Keep yourself open to new experiences and listen to your gut if it’s telling you to take a chance.

    Or tell me to stfu, that’s cool too I get it and won’t be upset.




  • 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.
