  • Depends on the types of commutes you do and where you are.

    For kindergarden to work, for me, car and public is basically equal, but it is like 7km. If it is a carshare / rental car then I will end up slower because finding a spot to park is pain, this of course is negated if it were my car since Id have (paid btw at my last employer) employee parking.

    It would of course be easier and faster to get the kinds to kindergarden via car, but this is a 15 min walking distance we are talking here.

    There are tradeoffs, but ultimately I choose transit and just grab a rental if I actually need a car, which is rare. Mind you I live in the city and the moment I move to a house outside of the city I am getting a car.

    I have to say I prefer transit, no stress, no thinking about times and routes, I can read a book, study or just meditate. Not to mention that the costs are sooo much lower. In the city I travel all month for 15 euros.



  • In regards to #1 - I have never understood the whole blood related = gross. Like I get it, risk of genetic disease is much higher.But I have always though that the grosness comes from the nature of the pre-existing relationship dynamic.

    Lets say two peoe who met in their 20s and are married do an ill guided mail-in ancestry test and find out they are 1st cousins or even siblings. Apart from the obvious issue of managing offspring risk, I don’t see why this would automatically kill the relationship or be gross.

    E: Interesting, seems ive hit an unpopular opinion. Anyone care to elaborate?

    So did you even read or just copy articles where the title agrees with you? The first one is “according to google”. The only article i saw crop up on google use the term derogatory(as per the article) to describe woo-woo was on medium, talking about how it makes people who believe in the supersticious and paranormal feel bad (much like the second article you linked). If you actually read them, you would see there is only one negative implication in the first article, and it is not in the origins of the word but in the “message” of “western superiority”, because god forbid we actually ask people to back up their claims.

    Where is the racist connection then? Maybe just look up the origins of the word on the dictionary and admit you are spouting bullshit?
