It's a newer thing, but I wish they'd do something about LED headlights. They're just too bright. MY incandescent ones light up the road for me perfectly, and they don't blind everyone who drives past me as well.

My husband. He was special to me yes, but he was important to his patients. We all know about the ER docs that are dismissive, condescending, and are just all around jerks. My husband, even at his most burnt out wasn’t like that. He was the type you pray you get. The one that will actually listen, who will figure out what’s going on. It didn’t matter if you were female, a POC, trans, or any combination. He was listening. He was going to treat your pain. He wasn’t going to send you home until he had an answer. I knew this about him, but it was confirmed by the patients that left messages on his obituary page. Sure he did the usual emergency med life saving things. But a car accident is easy. There’s no argument about whether or not a patient is hurt. It’s assumed something is wrong. What made him special to the world is proof you were sick meant only your word that you were. He tried to teach the providers around them. Never made people feel dumb for not knowing things. He wanted people to be motivated to do better and bullying or dismissive behavior doesn’t help with that. When he died I died too. Our children also lost their lives. We’re nothing without him. But the rest of the world? There are countless people that will now die just as scared and alone as I am because he’s not there to help.

We don't have assault rifles because they are too dangerous. America doesn't have kinder eggs, because, apparently, they are dangerous.

**So many of your problems are caused by your urban development.** - The rise of religious extremism can be explained by churches being one of the very few places that fill the human need for community activities. - The passion for guns would not be there if you didn't see the limits of your lawn as pretty much a border to be protected. - The hate to spend public money on mental health, education, etc would not be there if you were cohabitating with the people harmed by those issues. - Obesity would not be there if walkable spaces were common. - Wars may not have been fought if society didn't depend as much on fuel costs being low. - Your lack of free time to pursue hobbies is partly explained by extra long commutes I could go on and on... No wonder you see government as an oppressor of your freedom, and other people as threats: You go from the islands that are your workplace, your shopping space and your home in a car, as everything in between is unwalkable hostile territory. Europeans spend their lives in common parks, squares, public spaces, social clubs, cafes, pubs... And feel 'at home' walking in between those spaces, since the space in between is a social area as well. That makes it natural to perceive yourself as part of the community, and feel a social obligation to do your part to maintain it (through taxes for example) which seems pretty much impossible in the American lifestyle.

My brother and I both went to school with Tina Fey. We didn't know her, but we likely knew everyone that helped inspire "Mean Girls".
