It's also how most of the rest of the world is like. I can walk to 3 different grocery stores within 15 min, more if I take a bus or tram.

Well I was also thinking in terms of clinics, medicine stores, schools, etc. But apparently even having groceries within walking distance is a new experience for the yanks

it takes 10 minutes to get to a grocery store by bike where i live

what kind of magic is this?????

Where I live, there's a grocery store around the corner, just need to walk the length of the apartment building - so maybe 5 minutes tops. A kindergarten is directly next door, and a school just beyond that - I'd say 10+ minutes walk. Two other groceries, multiple drug stores and the outpatient clinic are 10-15 minutes walk, they're next to the road.

I don't know how people live not like that. Not sure I want to know. I guess they have less noise from the neighbors?

i have a big backpack and just head over the the grocery store by bike. its always lik a 30 minute trip.

Is it at least a large store?

[-] blakeus12@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

im not sure if this chain is outside of the U.S., but its called Aldi and its reasonably big but super cheap. and if i need anything bigger there is a Meijer about 5 minutes away (also not sure if Meijer is an international thing)

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
