yes
I am in one now
I just think having groceries a 20 min walk, appliances/misc stuff an hour away is fine
I like your suggesting to bring a wagon, that paints a really vivid mental picture
is my point
counterpoint
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 I like your suggesting to bring a wagon, that paints a really vivid mental picture
Spooky, remind me in 2 hours
I'll get a pic of my wagon
Replying to Dialga #god_of_time Pika if i had to walk an hour just to get somewhere i would not do it
skill issue
get walk mogged by the really fat guy
I used to walk to school sometimes for the novelty, since being outside is nice and all
I can't actually think of a time I've ever walked somewhere as a form of deliberate transportation though
ever
I walked to campus for the first week before I got my student card which doubles as a bus pass
40 min walk to school was way better than the 3.5 hours to my old school
I mean, all of my "walkable distances" sorta fall within Pika's range
I'd just never do it
I like walking to be fair
it is enjoyable, you just think/imagine stuff
school was a 10-20 minute walk, I drove
grocery store is maybe 10-15, I drive
food/gas station, I can walk ~5 minutes to get to multiple
I'm still driving
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak it is enjoyable, you just think/imagine stuff
that's my job
my grocery store is 5 minutes away, I got a decent apartment
it would actually be slower to go by car
again, I did not mean walmart for groceries
When I think of walmart, I think of " I need a blender, a switch game, and a power bar"
Pika, I will defend this aspect of walking.
When I see people walking, unlike biking or God forbid electric scotters
I don't want to run them over
lol
e scooters are getting really popular here
Clearly I should buy one of those meme half laying trycicle bikes
I've seen those at UW sometimes
as a side note pika, We do get groceries from Walmart/Target and they are like 10 minute walks away, but we have to use a car regardless not only because it would be hard to carry everything, but also there is a main road between our house and those stores, with NO CROSSWALKS and constant traffic
Get one that is road legal and can go 50-70mph
I like those
America is very poorly designed Dialga, so that is not surprising
there is ny r/fuckcars post
Also I always forget target is a thing because they fucked up entering Canada so bad they all closed 15 years ago
amazing Spooky
It's even your colour
Ngl I think you'd look badass
Spooky you'd like this shuttle I am in
muslim driver talking in arabic on the phone, two lesbian undergrads talking about girl drama in the back
well, I know one of them is a lesbian, not sure about the other
2 dudes quiet between me and the girls (shuttle is just a minivan)
Pika, don't take offense this
But wtf happened to your family
Your dad's Arab now?
Oh, this is a transit shuttle nvm
I read that as family minivan
lol
if you only have to go to that store once a month, if not less, I think it is
If you want a rough estimate on temperature
I start wearing a hoodie around 0, a winter coat around -10 to -15 (unzipped with a hooide under it usually), and fully zipped up at -25. I do not usually wear a hat and mitts and scarf until -30 to -40
