  • It is both overreacting and a valid feeling. If you were not wanting to drive before tue accident, then the accident escalating the feeling is a valid response. People not wanting to drive is not that uncommon! I love to drive but my daughter resisted learning for the longest time and is only learning now because it is a necessary skill to have in this country if you want to visit 95% of it because of how transportation is structured.

    Your father is also right that an accident is not uncommon and assuming it was low speed it shouldn’t keep you from continuing to try, although sentiment requires wanting to drive.

    You can live your life relying on others to drive you around, although that approach is limiting. Keeping up the ability and confidence to continue driving in case you need to might be an important skill where you live, and that would be the only reason I would encourage you to keep at it. If public transportation, biking, or walking are feasible for most of your travel needs then not driving is a reasonable choice!




  • Actually there is, and the plans most likely predate Trump’s first term. The US military has all kinds of plans to invade every square foot of land on earth.

    The military had a shitload of plans on how to respond to Soviet military advances, including occupying strategically important locations like Greenland (for a forward base) and Panama (to disrupt shipping/commerce). The US Space Force (ugh) has a base on Greenland already, because it is a strategic location. If the USSR was able to occupy it first, it would be necessary to retake the area and they spent decades coming up with all kinds of plans for different scenarios!

    So this is 100% Pete using something that already existed and promoting it as something the current administration came up with and mischaracterizing the reason that it exists in the first place.
