2·1 year agoYeah, both aspects of the movement/culture were very real. It’s the same in the poly communities of today. You have people hiding behind the positive veneer of modern polyamory to abuse. You also have people so genuinely overflowing with love that they need at least two romantic partners to use up their normal level of romantic energy. And most people are somewhere in between those two extremes.
They’re not mutually exclusive states. You can be part of the traffic, but if you can’t get out, you’re still stuck in it. You’re part of traffic but not stuck in it if and only if you have the opportunity to exit the traffic experience.
We’ve been blessed to need nothing more than routine maintenance in the four years we’ve had the car. The original owner took it religiously to the Stl dealer, and the very brief interim owner was a car guy who put a lot of work into it before his wife made him sell it for a project car that would more adequately fit the second child they had on the way. So we got the car in good shape, and have generally tried to baby it. It’s barely driven since I got a job at a dispensary I can walk to.
The MINI division figured out the oil leak problem a long time ago: burn up the oil faster than you can leak it. My old R56 wants a quart every 1k-2k miles and changes at 4k-6k. If she leaked, if never know it. Still runs fucking beautifully, though, which is a miracle among R56s.

They’re still among the smallest cars in production. It’s an amusing narrative to say “MINIs are big now!” but it really doesn’t reflect reality. IIRC, the newest Cooper models are actually ever so slightly smaller than the last few.

BMW owns MINI, and MINIs are special. I’m never gonna subscribe to heated seats or anything like that, but I’m also never gonna own a full sized vehicle if I can help it, and MINI makes some of the best compact cars on the market.
The show I’m a Virgo has a character who’s superpower is basically adhd. She moves extremely fast and is constantly bored. I identify deeply with Flora, especially at work. I struggle with boredom and unstructured time, so I do like twice as much work as most of my coworkers. I’m routinely sales lead without really trying. I thrive on the busy days that most people find overwhelming.
