This sounds like a place where everything is built around cars and walking is not a real option. 😟
Was thinking the same thing. I grew up in a European city and didn’t own a car until my mid-30s, when I moved to a rural area. When visiting the US for business, north of Chicago, I wanted to just walk to the next mall, as it was just 2km according to maps. But there was simply no way of doing that safely. No sidewalk at all, busy road. We are often quick to judge people for taking a car for even short distances. But often there really is no other safe way.
Totally feel you. I’m also from central Europe and currently making a vacation in Thailand and it’s crazy how there almost no sidewalks. It feels like the government forces you to rent a scooter or in your case to buy a car to get around safely.
4 minute drive, because if I took 20 steps in a row my heart would explode.
You don’t just have your podcast auto resume whenever you start driving?
Is that a baby or a toy in the right side of the image?
are you on the other side of the planet?
or why is your right my left? 🙅🏻♂️
They’re from drama class. It’s stage right.
I’m sorry, I mixed up my arms.
thats a dog
a toy
This is why I keep mix CDs in my cars. Turn it on and it’s already playing the CD I was last spinning. And you know what? I think I’ve got pretty good music taste so I’m gonna let that shit play lol.
I just burned the Chappell Roan album and left it in my wife’s car lol We’ve been bonding over that one. One day, I think I’m gonna get us tickets to see her live.
I’ve just got a USB of like a thousand songs on random. Every now and again I’ll take it out and add new songs and sometimes remove some old ones that haven’t stuck
Sir Lancelot and the Black Knight by Rick Wakeman on “The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table” is probably gonna do it.
4 minute drive to the grocery store is probably a 4 minute bike ride to the grocery store, just sayin
Yeah but I’m not carrying 6 bags of groceries back to my place tho
Good thing they won’t need to bring back a bunch of groceries.
Americans are the only creatures who don’t understand the concept of a grocery basket outside of a car
Most Americans buy a lot of groceries at once because most Americans don’t have quick access to grocery stores, and buying smaller portions of groceries costs a fortune.
I can buy a week’s worth of groceries for a family of 4 for about the price of 10 days of groceries for one person. But it requires being able to haul a lot more than can fit on a bike. And for many of us, the store is also a long way away with no public transit and in a place where the temperature may be lethally hot for months at a time.
sounds like hell
I tried saying “bippity bopping boo” just now, but it didn’t move my house 20 miles closer to the grocery store.
man, it’s so wild hearing that the nearest grocery store is 20 miles away. You guys have created unnecessary problems for yourself. It’s so shocking how rough you guys have it and how non-chalant you are about something which is a no-brainer for the rest of the world.
never seen more chumpier chumps than Americans.
Believe it or not, not everyone lives in dense urban areas or the suburbs.
And the scale of the US isn’t something most Europeans understand. How long does it take you drive across your country? In the US, a drive from Southern California to Maine is over 48 hours and around 5000 kilometers.
The Texas Triangle megalopolis (Houston, Dallas, San Antonio) is bigger than lots of European countries.
