Do you frequently just leave YouTube running?

Unless you have it set to never lock its not possible. All phones lock automatically after 30-60 seconds by default.

Yep. I live in a suburb outside a major city. To get to the “train station” without a car, I’d need to walk over a mile to the closest bus stop, take that bus up the road to a transfer, take that bus to the light rail station, then take that light rail to the train station. 1 1/2 hours vs 45 minutes driving. And if I’m already driving 45 minutes anyway, I’d rather just stay in my car and go straight to my destination.

Another ignored factor is safety. depending on the city (like mine), public transportation is full of mentally ill and people on drugs. I’ve seen more fights and freaky shit on public transportation than I have the rest of my life combined. I had to physically intervene a dude harassing my client with autism once and shove him out the door. That was the last time I took public transportation because it’s not worth my safety. Thanks drug decriminalization.

In America the train costs as much as a plane ticket. Driving is cheaper. We also have very little in the way if trains. Most of our long distance travel is by bus. Tiny, dirty, cramped busses where if someone takes a shit in the toilet everyone smells it for hours. I would rather drive.

Well, failing brakes isn’t really murder. Negligent manslaughter maybe. Obviously some nuance would be required.

And my gut reaction would be a family member of the victim. I wouldn’t be suspicious of them cause justice and vengeance go hand in hand.

I think if you murder someone, you should die the same way.
