I suspect a lot of people have difficulty recognizing that what they believe about the world may not be representative of how the world actually behaves. I certainly do, frequently.

Like with politics, people think they need to go vote and march and stuff to effect change, but if you’re willing to accept the idea that there are limits to your ability to perceive the world and your perceptions are misleading, you can pretty reliably go and see that isn’t true.

You can also decipher deeper realities like you can basically put whatever you want on flat bread, or that you dadskf;'akse’wfaegqrwt;'lj’a fuck my brain. I’m asd I’m not sure what I was trying to say.

      Which is one reason I don’t lock my car. I also don’t keep anything of value in it. I’d rather come out to a ransacked car than a broken window.

          I lived in a trailer park for a year, and my sister lived around the corner from me. There were constant break ins to cars and I never kept stuff in there for that reason.

          My sister admitted to me recently that it was her boyfriend and her friend, and they just didn’t steal from me because I was family.

          I was… touched, I guess?

        My older car had a broken lock so it would open if you tried the handle, but the car alarm would still go off. I thought it was a huge upgrade.

      Yeah, this is why I’ve never bothered buying an expensive bike lock, any lock at all will have the vast majority of potential bike thieves just move on.
