Why do I keep doing this to myself?

Regular readers of the blog will know I prefer my cities with as few cars as possible.

Therefore my internet browsing habits reflect this topic. But reading forum posts does nothing to move the needle. I waste hours at work and at home, silenting smirking at uneducated peons trot out the same old tired anti-cycling and anti-public transport narratives, snivelling at the rubes wasting money on a big metal box that sits unused 95% of the time and is the number one cause of why kids don’t play in the street anymore.

Even the paragraph I’ve just typed above will make zero difference to anything, anywhere, at any time.

So why do I still do it? I know what I actually want, and that’s to move out of England. To waste my time on not making progress towards moving, which would include language proficiency tests or research, is folly.
