  • My wife works for the state and had to go from Columbus, OH to Detroit, MI for a professional conference. That’s about a 3 hour car ride.

    She’s not allowed to take a personal vehicle to go. State vehicles are not allowed to leave the state. She had to fly there. She said it was easily slower to fly when factoring in getting to the airport, checking bags, etc. than to drive.

    For me it was if you swallow a plant seed, the plant will grow in your stomach and you will die from it. My dad was joking, but I was 5 and didn’t know any better. I went on believing that until I was in my teens because things like that you don’t re-evaluate every so often. It’s just “my dad told me this and he wouldn’t lie to me because grownups don’t lie” stuck on autopilot.
