you know what, if I dont have to walk for 3 miles 4.828032km of a 5 mile 8.04672km bus ride, I’d take being the small spoon

do I get to be the big spoon?

and I’m so glad for you, and totally not seething with green eyed jealousy <3

it helps you have functional public infrastructure.

America? Not so much. It can take hours to get somewhere outside of like new york or chicago, where it takes a care maybe 20-30 minutes to get to. and I know this for a fact, because I’ve tried to take the bus on numerous occasions, and found it to be faster to walk unless you luck out and happen to have your destination on the same bus route you got on with no transfers.

America does not want children to exist, yet perpetually laments that children never go outside to play anymore.

and they lament that while not building playgrounds where young children can socialize and play, while destroying third spaces to hang out and socialize in for teenagers, and… most egregious of all, when they finally do go outside, calling the cops on them for a variety of made up reasons regardless of their age. Especially if their tan is a shade too dark.
