Sorry, I'll hold back the snark. :)

Now you're dictating how I feel? Jesus. I'm not going to say something I don't mean/beleave because you want me to.

I didn't imply shit, but you do you.

Reading comprehension. Learn it. You've read a basic statement and put a meaning to it so you can fight someone on the internet. Never said anything about how equal the atrocities were.

It's almost like every government commits atrocities at some point or another.

Yeah, NYC is horrible for this too, and even the parking in NJ across the river is ridiculous if you want to ride in from there. There is a train, but that's gotten expensive too. It's just a shitshow.

I'm not anti-car or bike but we really don't have a good system in place for either when it comes to cities.

I did have a very confusing time taking a bus out of Copenhagen. I got yelled at by a driver but I didn't understand how to pay (I thought you paid on the bus?) And there was no instruction on how to do it and no one would help. He just let me get on, but he was mad about it, lol.

I figured out how to pay for my trip back though, due to a very kind lady.

Reformers pilaties. The strengthening and stretching makes it gold standard.

Older millennial fall for this shit too. I have so many fb friends from high school that still post this stuff.

I was in very bike-friendly Copenhagen last summer and yes, it was nice. I do think in order for cars to move out of cities, we need to focus more on public transportation in the suburbs of big cities, so people could easily access the city without paying an arm and a leg for parking.

I lived in a suburb about 20 min outside of Philadelphia in high school, and It was nice hopping the train in and out, then getting into my car and driving home.

Thanks, it was worth it for sure.

I didn't even think about quitting before I took the job. My boss didn't ask and I never told him (though I'm sure he knew, lol).

I had become aware it might be an issue when I ran into a student for the first time outside of the studio. I wasn't smoking, luckily, but I became worried the next time that might be the case.

I got a job as a karate instructor when I moved back after college. I taught ages 3 to 18.

Those kids, man. They look at you like you're a goddamn superhero. I'm not kidding. And because I taught all the classes, I had about 300 kids all looking up to me as a role model. I became petrified that one of them would catch me out somewhere smoking and I'd have to explain why they shouldn't do something that their hero does.

I phased it out, bit by bit. I cut down on one cigarette each full week until I was smoking three a day. Then I spent a couple weeks smoking only one in the am and one on my way home from work. Then down to just one on my way home from work every day.

I'd heard that the third day of quitting is the worst to get through, but for me it was day 5 of no cigarettes. I remember it so vividly because of how gd angry I was that day, at everything. I realized halfway through that this was the point where things would get easier, and they did.

So, I have all my students from that time to thank for being the reason I quit, even if they'll never know it, they probably saved my life. :)
