I've been in Ohio for work for almost two months and one thing I can not process is that what they call "traffic" is what I would call "normal driving conditions." The NYC metro area would kill the average Midwesterner, I think. They have no idea how goddamned easy they have it.

drove by myself for the first time ever today and it was terrifying but shoutout to the "I'm scared to do it" "Then do it scared" mentality because without it, I probably wouldn't have gotten the nerve to try it out

yes, my first time driving by myself was just me shaking and sweating like the most nervous little dog ever, while repeating the Soft Kitty Warm Kitty song over and over and over again like a broken record, but i still did it.

bravery is not the ability to do something without fear. it's the will to do it in spite of fear. or whatever, i dont remember the full quote or who said it but i think about it a lot

what draws you back to your country what draws you back to your land when i was a kid i told myself if i ever left iran i'd never go back 2 years into living in the UK i started looking at news on iran again 10 years in and i visited it for the first time again and today i heard an iranian mother talk in farsi to her child on the train to london the way my mother used to and i wanted to cry i wanted to ask her whether they're still cutting the mountaintops whether the lakes are still drying today i showed the person i was with pictures of waterfalls and palaces and forests and snow-white north something odd pulls me back with increasing force i can't ignore it ever again

throwing in the towel is THIS close to becoming a banned car song

By the time cars were invented, Jonah Magnus was already well into the body hopping game, which raises the question: has he ever actually learn to drive? Did this man sit through driver’s ed? Or has he just been getting out of legal repercussions for his shit driving by telling the cops everything he knows about their deepest darkest secrets every time he gets pulled over?

Trying to get back into the swing of illustrations. A while ago in-session Eli got driving lessons from the Brujah Sini that went surprisingly well for a 208 year old vampire. Since then he somehow manages to roll great drive rolls every time. He's a natural

i need to find a way to channel my interest in planes into cars so i can learn to drive

[fryologyy]

honestly i'm just really curious

[one-time-i-dreamt]

I told my dad I needed to drive home but I was worried because I was deathly afraid of interstates. We were sitting in our living room and I don't have a car.

i think everybody should think about how much of a privilege driving is before they judge people who don’t drive for being immature or whatever. like do you not realize that not everyone had a high school with driver’s ed or parents/older relatives who could teach them, not everyone had time to learn when they were younger, not everyone can afford a car and car insurance and any repairs that a car might need, not everyone lives in a place that is drivable anyway, and not everyone has good vision or a healthy enough brain and/or body to drive. and nobody needs to explain to you why they don’t drive! all you need to know is that the can’t, don’t want to, or it doesn’t make sense for them at this current time in their lives. fuck off!!!!! the response to inadequate public transportation isn’t that everyone should drive instead!!!!!! also everybody complains about bad drivers but people are incentivized to drive regardless of their actual driving ability because it’s shameful not to drive even if it’s a personal choice. and like maybe some people are just not self aware about their own driving abilities but some people just don’t understand that they are in control of a large machine that is dangerous if they don’t operate it properly and they have to be more responsible for the people they’re putting at risk because they don’t care enough to pay attention or follow the rules of the road or keep their tempers under control while they’re behind the wheel. anyway not everyone can or should drive, that’s all

I probably shouldn’t find this funny, but as someone who was Terrified of learning to drive, I could never imagine being in TJ’s position. Your first time driving, you are the oldest of your peers, and you EXPLODE THE ENGINE? I would never sit behind the wheel again. There’d be no recovering. Even IF someone manages to force me to take lessons long enough to re-learn and get a license, I’d never want to sit in the driver’s seat again in my life, I’d burn the liscense.

Aaaand I just realized that I think TJ is the only dad we never see drive a vehicle in season 2 so he probably feels the same way I do.
