One thing I've thought about is that because she's so mega famous, it'd likely be terrible for her to take any form of public transport. She'd get swarmed by people wanting autographs and paparazzi. So I've been thinking that maybe she does it so much because it's the most private way to travel.

I guess an alternative is just too have a chauffeur drive you when the distance is manageable, but then getting in and out would more likely be at public facing areas rather than somewhere a bit more private like an airport.

I dunno, just what I've been thinking. There are stories of people like Keanu Reeves taking public transport, so he must be able to do it done, but he's also not the ultra-mega-star that Taylor is

That's so lovely! I'm happy for you. Your wife seems awesome, too!

As an ally that isn't aware of every bit of symbolism, the jar of pickles stood out to me. Does that, like, signify something, or do you just like pickles ? (totally valid if so, I fricken love pickles)

Japan would have surrendered without the atomic bombs dropping or a ground invasion. Saying it was necessary to prevent a ground invasion or to finish the war early is a common argument that makes sense at first glance, but if you look into it then it's not actually accurate.

My favorite video on the subject is Dropping the Bomb: Hiroshima & Nagasaki by Shaun. It is 2h 20m long, following the story of the relationship between America, Russia, and Japan, and the circumstances that led to the bombs ultimately being dropped. Highly recommend.

The methodology also allows lots of people to participate (600 in the study). If they had to actually walk outside then it would almost certainly reduce the number of participants they were able to have.

A VR type thing could be good
