On the contrary, when I lived in the US on Long Island, a part of the country where people warn life without a car is impossible, I had a great transit experience. Buses were generally on time, modern and equipped with live tracking, and the trains were great too.

I know LI’s relative poor transit options are mostly in comparison to other areas in the Northeast, which is a densely populated region. I imagine my experience would be totally different in the Midwest or the Prairies. And that’s especially true for trains – LI is awesome in that regard

I’m Polish but I also made the switch to use public transport instead of my car, even though it’s not the cheapest once you’re not a student anymore. I feel better though knowing how much fuel I save by not driving in traffic for 1.5h 4 days a week. The other thing is that the money goes to the city so I will likely benefit from it in some way

Imo such cases would be when someone can prove that you didn’t earn your degree honestly, or when you have amassed a history of academic dishonesty after the fact. But personally I don’t think crimes (even murder) should result in you losing your degree.

I understood it to mean that this bird feels like this particular mammoth isn’t quite as comfortable but he has a lot of other mammoths to choose from, so he is free
