You would think especially when 30% of your population is too poor to afford a car, and 50% of drivers can't afford car insurance in #Detroit . And yet people treat "This is the motor city" as one of the ten commandments, and I'm the heretic.

@Andres4NY it's really a luxury to be able to walk down the sidewalk without the worry that your ice cream cone will melt. You can really take your time and savor every bit. No need to rush.

Why people even try to eat ice cream during peak summer is beyond me.

No, my brain is a pretty reliable catalogue of both breakfast cereal ingredients and missing children in 1980's America because if you put written words in front of my face, I'll read them. Just how my brain works.

here's my prescriptivist hill i will die on.
"thrown under the bus"
"got hit by a bus"

these are ANTI PUBLIC TRANSIT PROPAGANDA

try instead:
"thrown under a jeep"
"got hit by a cybertruck"

The best way to grow your account on social media is to simply not do that. You don't want a lotta followers; at a certain point people start to get the idea that you're a product or a service, cast themselves in the role of "customer" in your replies, and start making demands. And then you have to cut a mutherfucker's head off right out here in public. It's bad math.
@capicva yeah I definitely pay a premium to support small, (semi)local businesses, especially something that should last a lifetime. Not paying $1600 per year on car insurance definitely helps.
#biketooter do your headset logos go 12 and 6 o'clock or 9 and 3?
@hazelmotes as Monday looms, that sounds really tempting!
