Public transportation is humbling, by which I don't mean there's anything lesser about it, but that it reminds you in the best possible way that you're not the main character of the universe. Even in a world class public transportation system you're occasionally going to encounter people begging, crying babies, people talking loudly or emoting, people wearing outfits you may consider weird, body odor, delays and inconveniences. I'm not saying you need to put up with straight up harassment or anything like that, but you need to accept that the world exists outside of you. If your entire world is your workplace, your car and your nuclear family, that is going to impact your politics and your perspective. It's no wonder so much of the US is designed to this exact end, and how so many suburban Americans who value comfort and convenience over all else are losing their damn minds. The US is an international embarrassment when it comes to transit, but even in sophisticated networks you still have to share a space with other human beings and you need to act like an adult about it.

* drops a post about how hannibal (nbc / 2012-2015) can be closely compared to and analyzed against the story of hades and persephone and how both stories new and old portray love as something so entwining and encompassing that it is akin to consumption and how both seemingly-weak parties consumed (unknowingly) food that would condemn them to the rest of their lives with the evil-presenting man but they actually end up becoming more powerful and terrifying than their significant other and leaves without any explanation *

"I'm not used to being loved. I wouldn't know what to do; I never got the trick of it... Not even used to being touched. But I'm not afraid of you, if you stay quiet and don't move suddenly."
