In a large city, public transport is one of the most reliable ways to get to a place quickly. There are many respectable and quick ways to travel, and most services offer deals and discounts to regular commuters ( Read more... )

Thank you, bb! I'm really glad you like it. C: pseuicidal November 10 2008, 12:43:54 UTC
I'M BEING SWINDLED FOR BEING UNIMPORTANT?!

What world do we live in where a teacher with modest pay and a duty of educating students to the horrors that await them would be swindled by the ticket master for his regular commute?! All the time that I've spent producing idle and mildly uncomfortable conversation while the tickets print and he was only thinking of what he could do with my extra money when his shift ended!

If such an upstanding member of society could be this corrupt, what other establishments might be overcharging me to give discounts to others?!

You're such a silly little toy to make such hefty demands on the rest of the city just because you're too dumb to read a notice just a few days in advance, which I assume is the case here. Besides, if you're going to demand that the rest of society gives you such early warnings, it's only fair that the same rules applies for you in order to spare us the consequences of your inevitable bungling. So please, humor me and do tell. Where can you see yourself in three months from now, and what disasters and mishaps are likely to be caused by you during this period of time?

... There's a reason I'm presently unable to answer!

I posed the question first because I know I'm not a murderer.

However, there's no guarantee that the rest of the city isn't murderous! In fact, there's generally a decent probability in this society that there are always murderers lurking at every corner.

I can't make future plans without knowing the future plans of others, because I may make arrangements that're otherwise unnecessary! For example, arranging the funeral for my suicide, which would be scheduled at a certain time. However, if another person made arrangements that said 'evade prison for killing a teacher', I would have no guarantee of my own plans because I may be murdered before I can commit suicide, and couldn't warn others appropriately!

I think that wasn't tested for during my psychological evaluation.

...someone really needs to go out more often.

Also, your logic scares me a little.

That's an understandable reaction when the problems of society are being brought to light! It's a frightening time to live in.

Oh, it's not that.

It's just that I tried to view the world with your logic. And I'm wondering if your bedroom has plushy, white walls.

...I have to agree. A planning period would be best for these sorts of things.

Yes!

Three months is within reason. In the same way a salary can be calculated for the quarter, experiences can also be calculated and a projection reached.

It sounds reasonable enough. Sudden changes are never helpful.
