Not sure yet if this place is an echo chamber - I frankly followed a bunch of people off of starter packs specifically so I could hear new voices.
So far, so good.
Also, seriously, whoever came up with the starter pack concept should get a raise.

It is okay to not get to turn left when it means the safety of everyone not in a car.
