17776th poster gets a cookie (cookie thread (Part 7)) (Part 11)

Going out for a coffee is cool. I have to walk 40 minutes to get somewhere where you can exchange money for goods. If I don’t have eggs or butter or milk for a recipe, I need to ask somebody to go out and get it for me – maybe I could bike to the gas station if it happened to be something you could get at a gas station, but I definitely could not get any other kind of grocery or ready-made food without a car. Nobody delivers pizza to our location.

And I cook for myself most of the time even when I’m not around here, but it is way, way better to have the option to not do that if I’m not feeling well.

I basically didn’t get to have an independent IRL social life at all. If my parents were busy and couldn’t take me to something, I couldn’t go. If it was something they wouldn’t approve of, I couldn’t go.

I have issues w/ my hips and knees which mean I can’t bike, which is unique to me but like. I can’t do that. And even the bike unlocks Only a gas station convenience store. I like other things

I was freaking the hell out over missing a train this weekend because if I missed the train, my mom would be busy and couldn’t pick me up, and so I just like, could not go home. At all

(I ended up being lucky and the thing she was busy with was cancelled, but if I wasn’t lucky, I literally had no means to make it to my house and was completely fucked)

next idea

some kinda scooter/moped/e-bike that’s street legal but doesn’t require a license

#16607

Just for the gas station?

#16608

also because its fun more generally

My main concern with those, which is why I haven’t gotten one for campus, is that I’m generally shaky as I move, bad at processing things at speed, and much more liable to fall or get injured. There’s a reason I don’t have a license to drive a car! It’s not just a legality issue!

And even that would only solve my inability to get things you can purchase at a gas station, which is not very much. I still can’t go to the doctor without parental permission, that’s insane, that’s no way to live
