Walk 10 mins…? What bull shit magic fantasy land do you hail form that ANYTHING is a 10 min walk away. The nearest fast food to me would be like just shy of a 2 hour walk at an avg pace.
For most people getting anywhere is like 8-12 miles here in America if not further.
Canada is the same as USA in that regard. The only restaurant in 10 minutes walking distance to my place is Wendy’s. Anything good is 30 to 60 minutes walk or 5-10 minutes drive.
I can walk to a spot, but it’s 15 Minutes there and then again back, plus getting dressed, plus waiting for my order. I could order pick-up of course, but at that point I would have to use the same app I can use to get it delivered. Can I spare an hour for dinner? When I’m meeting someone, of course. Several even. But when I just need to eat something, I’m not going to.
If it’s more affordable for you to order someone else to drive through the city to bring you food that someone cooked for you then there’s something nefarious going on.
There are 8 billion people on this world. You and your experiences account for about 0.000000012% of the human experience. You’re absolutely stupid if you think your experience is anything like what others are. You live in a privileged city as a privileged person. You can talk about workers right without being a complete and utter ass clown about it. Please learn how to.
Do you not understand you and your experiences equates to fuck all to me nor anybody else besides yourself and or those in close proximity to you.
You’re a narcissist clown who would rather shove his fingers ears in his ears and keep feeling superior then realize that that is NOT the norm for almost everybody.
You would rather deny people their own experiences than admit your experience is not universal.
You are the epitome of “boomerism”. It’s all about me and I’m always right.
You can talk about yourself and your experiences. That’s fine. What you can’t do is be a privileged insufferable cunt about it and insist that your experiences trump every else’s.
I hate to be the person to throw a brick into a spinning washing machine, but chill out.
You’re probably talking to somebody who would agree with you, someone who would be a friend.
You have a lot of absolutely righteous and justified anger about a situation that they’re attempting to make light of. I can see how you would take that personally. I also would take it personally if I were in your shoes.
Even though this situation is what it is, it’s still a good idea to attempt to drizzle a little honey on the words that you use to communicate it with them so that you can pull them to your side and explain your reasoning without pushing them out of the social group, right?
Ok, just replace the word “walk” with “drive” and the point still stands for most of the rest of america. In fact it shows even more laziness as driving is much easier.
I am so glad to be living in Seattle. I have at least 2 food trucks at breweries a 2 min walk away, sometimes 4 trucks. There’s also a Chinese place we love going to once a month for their to go boxes that’s about 6 mins away. But don’t live downtown or apartments all around (not that it would be bad, just making a point). It’s great to be walkable without all the noise.
Other cities need this but we gotta get rid of suburbia and most lawns really.
This was the biggest culture shock I saw moving to NORAM, and other is MRP(maximum retail price). Back home, nearest convenience store sells an item at same price as any other place except for bulk grocery.

Pretty much every country except for the USA seems to be a bull shit magic fantasy land. At least when living in any kind of larger city.

This may not necessarily apply to you, but those 30 minutes of walking would do wonders for the overall health of your average American.

Wdym more affordable? I pay extra. I buy an hour of lifetime for like 3€. Sounds like a great deal to me.
Hi, yes, that’s a very USian issue. We here don’t believe in the separation of residential and commercial areas.
Sim City taught me that causes something called “congestion “ and the sims get pretty pissed about it.
Seems like USAians are very happy with congestion.
well I have like 10 restaurants within 10 mins walk…
Then you’re a privileged person who shouldn’t be shitting on people who don’t have it as good as you.
No I’m not I just live in a different country. Still poor, I would be the person working this job if I didn’t have another bad job already.
Money is not the only form of privilege.

The American mind literally cannot comprehend the default state of being in Europe
My lazy as SIL and her boyfriend will doordash food that’s a block away from the house.
