If this is happening at work then you need to bring it up to his boss or someone above him, preferably a woman who won’t make excuses for him. Outside of work there’s not a lot you can do except let him know that it’s a huge red flag when older men want women without life experience.
That’s what I miss about Edmonton too. If I had to go back to Alberta for whatever reason it would definitely be to Edmonton because at least they have a decent transit system.
The ones that come attached to other cars and go to pre-planned destinations on a regular schedule are the preferred ones for me. Give us trains!
I am going to get a bike trainer so I can ride in my garage safely or take the bus to a park and ride the trails. There was a pretty big accident in my town that killed a cyclist in an RCMP charity ride near me this past summer and it really stuck with me. The drivers will bowl over anyone and you never know who’s intoxicated. I don’t want to ride in traffic anymore.
I have a really hard time with hand signals so I’m too scared to ride my bike in public because I had a driver yell at me for getting stop and right mixed up. I don’t know why the car couldn’t just stop at the stop sign and wait an extra second for me to pass regardless of the hand signal. So now even though I love taking to it to my shopping I don’t.
Better than a toilet seat.
And people say my city of 100K is too small for a train.
Well they sure as shit don’t use them when they’re supposed to, but also, technology fails. When the camera dies and the operator decides it can wait to be fixed or they don’t have the money to fix it because they already spend $1600 a month maintaining the vehicle , children will get run over and the driver will turn into that little shit from the old Chips Ahoy commercials all “heeheehee, oops!”
It’s ok, my children are inside the children killing machine. Fuck those other kids.
You accepting that you don’t fit into a box gives you a leg up on both the weirdos and the normal people. Everyone is a bit of both when the stop repressing themselves.
Thanks, but I smoke for pain and anxiety and have done so for over a decade, irrational thoughts have never been an issue. I only added it because OP mentioned they hadn’t done drugs in almost a week and I was feeling surly.
I think a lot of our decisions are made unconsciously because they “feel” right based on past experiences. We probably don’t notice the process that makes the decision so we try to justify it afterwards but we’re only guessing. But I’m not smart and I’ve smoked a joint in the last half hour so I could be way off base.
The American Dream was an illusion. It was all propaganda to convince people to feed themselves to the capitalist machine for a chance at living the dream life, but even people who aren’t trapped under years of medical debt or homeless or visible minorities don’t have it easy, they’ve just been convinced that’s as good as it gets.
Edited cause my grammar was weird.
