This is such a good perspective I hadn't considered.
Semi-related. Every morning I take a nice, hot shower. It's the one bit of silence I get during the day. As the end of the shower gets closer, the dread of the day ahead starts to sink in. When I'm done, I'll crank it to freezing cold and just giggle that I'm doing something so silly that I acknowledge will make me suffer. Helps me power through my shitty days just that much more.
Sorry for the novel, haha.
I like that they've toned things back from putting people on Mars to this and even this won't happen.
A cute name for public transit. 🥰
