For instance, when someone describes going to school as “traumatic,” they often simply refer to it as a negative experience. This is not to say that everyone who went to school never had a traumatic experience; however, some individuals appear to overuse the term. Another example could be considering being lightly pushed into a locker as “traumatic.”

    It’s taking a lot of willpower here to not go on a rant complaining about car culture and societies double standards around motor vehicles. So I’ll just leave it there.

      I have no such inhibitions!

      Fuck cars, let’s build walkable neighborhoods and trains. Then people with trauma that makes it hard to miss a text won’t have to risk everyone’s lives just to go to the grocery store.

          I think you might need robots in order to build magnetised rail. I have a feeling the tolerance is tighter than humans can manage. And maybe you need rare earth metals too? I don’t know anything about HSR technology but I think there’s a practical reason it wasn’t built before robots and global supply lines.
