    "Small price to pay for the freedom to travel"

    -An actual thing that's been said to me before when I brought up other environmental issues

        Also the traveling part is generally tedious, uncomfortable and boring unless you have a super big luxury car. I'd much rather travel by high-speed rail.

          I looove taking the train, I can stand up, move around, chat, eat and drink.

          I was hanging out in the Cafe car a few weeks ago on a 9 hr trip playing video games on my laptop. Got chatting with some folks, 3 of us one by one broke out our respective liquors and made a party of it.

          Can't do that on I-95.

        Yep. Whenever I travel I ask around my friend group if anyone is interested and those same people always have a list of excuses as to why they can't take a week to fuck off in NYC.

        I really think alot of it is "I can't take my car 😭," cause I've gone with them to things all the time on road trips, but as soon as I'm taking a train the excuses roll in.
