I did that once with the phone number of a really nice girl. Talking with her had made me so nervous, though, that the number was unreadable because of sweat in next to no time. Never met her again.
I think I have my video game idea to apply my visual storytelling learning to.
(The breadcrumbs told me to make a game involving birds. And now I have the idea in which to use that imagery/theme)
Why I want to watch movies during my daily hour and a half of commuting by public transit, or during those periods where I'm waiting upwards of an hour for a ride because I don't own a car or have a license to drive one(nor ever will) isn't really the concern.
I couldn't function without a car. I require the ability to go wherever I want to, whenever I want to go there.

That's...nice?
...You realize this is like walking up to someone in a wheelchair and talking about how you absolutely couldn't function without the ability to walk, right?
Then go to China with your car. No airplanes allowed.
Also I heard this from a relative but after she had an accident she got afraid of driving. She is now living quite well without a car and saves a ton of money like that in the process. (at the cost of time of course)

Hey, I don't know what the mass transit system is like where you live. From what I understand, there are quite a number of people in New York City (for example) who don't have nor need a driver's license. All I know is that the system in Tulsa is, in my opinion, nowhere near an acceptable substitute for a car.
Also, no I didn't consider my saying that to be akin to mocking the handicapped. As I said, I don't know how active/widespread the transit system is there. A handicapped person is likely unable to recover from their infirmity (depending on their circumstances, of course), whereas I don't see why someone who was capable of safely driving a car wouldn't be able to get a driver's license (if they desired to have one). With this in mind, I didn't assume you have no choice but to go without.

For someone who spends a lot of time correcting grammar, this is one hell of a run-on sentence. I'm not exactly sure what you're saying.
Also, I would say that sometimes there are reasons that might preclude someone from driving a car. In that instance, it would be mocking someone for physically not being able to do something that you enjoy.
I can see I wasn't being obvious enough. People with poor vision (ie. legally blind) are not allowed to drive. Remember when you took that eyesight exam at the DMV before getting your license? If you can't pass that, they will not give you a license, and you will not be driving today or ever.
Therefore, criticizing someone for not driving when that someone is not driving because they were not able to pass the eyesight exam is akin to criticizing someone in a wheelchair for sitting around all day.
I realise that some people don't WANT to learn to drive, mostly because they don't feel they need to.
I think that the "nor will I ever have a license" part, combined with the fact of allegedly having to wait for hours for public transit or a ride (which doesn't sound like a very pleasant thing) are kind of a hint that this isn't the case here.
Now, some people might also be going to great lengths in order to boycott the automotive industry, but I don't think there was any sign that this was the case.
As someone who cannot currently drive (and isn't currently allowed to learn, but might get a license at some point), and who as experience both in getting rides and in taking public transit, I have to say, finding the schedule for buses and stuff can be annoying, but there are definitely times when it's much quicker and less frustrating than having to find a parking spot, not to mention having to figure out how to get wherever you are going.
The only reason I'm not getting mine is because I'm broke, and have already spent thousands on it.
To elaborate, in the Netherlands, you'll have to get actual driving lessons to be able to do an exam (the theoretical exam could be taken regardless though). This is because lesson cars have special pedals for the instructor, so that they can intervene when a situation gets too dangerous.
Well this has probably been one of my least productive days ever, only really beaten by the ones in which I've spent most of it asleep (usually due to staying up all the day and night (or longer) before). Have just been listening to episodes of the Indoor Kids podcast (must be about 10 or so) while playing Football Manager 2012 (and that's only because I can't afford to get Football Manager 2013 yet).
True I've been feeling like shit all day as well, full of cold and sneezing very frequently but still this has been a very lazy day. At least tomorrow I'll get myself out of the flat as I'm going to see Skyfall at last (at least I'm seeing this a hell of a lot sooner than I did with the Dark Knight Rises, relatively speaking). And there's plans to go and see Argo on Thursday which is good.
Then Steve Purcell had to invent a dog with a gun to rescue Max from the evil Dave.
Dave Purcell is the older brother of Steve Purcell, who actually created Sam & Max (Steve would make comics making fun of his brother's comics, and then eventually Dave gave Steve the characters for a birthday present).
Although, admittedly, Sam didn't have a gun in the original comics by Dave Purcell, so in a way you are kind of right.
I’ll be honest: Telltale is only my second favorite game company. My first favorite is Big Fish Games, due to my love of the Mystery Case Files series.

I didn't criticize. Some people just don't drive, by their own choice. I also didn't know he's legally blind, as I don't recall anyone ever mentioning that around here before I posted.
I'm not being insensitive. I seriously thought he just didn't want to, so I commented that I didn't think I could do that.

Chances are good that one has already forgotten most of the things BEFORE the wind.
They're just tiny pieces of paper with glue on them. It's what you put on them that matters.
I've had some very interesting sticky notes in the past. Very interesting.
literally the best gif ever
I've discovered your secret. Not only are you a spambot, you're a plagiarizing spambot. That's the worst kind.

That's always a fun thing to do when your bored.
