lol… when I was in high school there was some sort of D.A.R.E. program, just named something else… they asked us to wear goggles that was supposed to simulate vision while high on marijuana. I burst into laughter and said, “this absolutely does NOT happen to your vision on marijuana.”
The goggles had a haze-like film and some other sort of fractal film where each movement you made it was supposed to simulate hallucinations / flutter vision… the police officer who looked like he was maybe in his mid twenties had a grin on his face as I passed the goggles onto the next person.
That was a point in my life when I realized… the authority we’re supposed to obey are just average dumb ass non-thinking humans… what we call today, NPCs.
That’s interesting. Being that in Islam, literally, it is as sin to desecrate graves. Sure it just wasn’t one of those kinds of people who commit the crime and point the finger elsewhere?
I don’t know what that means… not all suburbs are “collar” suburbs. Where I live, the closest grocery store for example, is 3 miles away. Closest fast food is 2 miles away. My gym is 6 miles away. Work is 12 miles away. Mall? Closest one is to the north, 16 miles away and to the south, 22 miles away. Not a single one of these locations would I use a bicycle as transportation. In fact even if I wanted to cycle to any of these places, I couldn’t… I’m not biking 10-20 grocery bags weighing anywhere between 45-90lbs combined. I’m not going to retrofit my gym bag as a backpack and bike to the gym. Hell even if I didn’t have a gym bag, lol imaging cycling after a squat or deadlift day? I’m good.
The point I’m making is, whatever your living conditions are, whatever you use as transportation… is not going to be the same for everyone else. Maybe you’re into the whole vision of 15 minute cities that WEF would love to implement, but it’s definitely not going to happen in our lifetime. That’s an entire restructuring of the lay of the land. Better off colonizing another planet to implement it.
Interesting… in the midwest, the burbs would be difficult to cycle for transportation. Stores for example aren’t as crammed as it is in the cities like Chicago, Detroit, and NYC. However in some parts of the burbs there’s plazas right as you leave the neighborhood.
I personally couldn’t use cycling (including motorcycle) as a transportation for just about 99% of the things I do outside of my neighborhood.
