This is what suburban carbrain disease does to a mfker.
Having grown up in Eastern Europe, walking to the kindergarten since 4, walking to the primary school since 7, walking / pubtransiting to mid/high school since 11, the North American suburban carbrain disease is just shocking, even after living alongside it for two decades.
America wasn't like this until 2000s that's when it started
2001 actually, the ball went downhill some time in September of that year
Ol boy Osama deff achieved his strategic objectives too with hind sight.
I remember when Obama was jerking killing him on tv as some sort of W in early 2010s...
It looks even more pathetic with 2025 context at where the country ended up
That’s if you believe he even existed, they threw like 20 different dudes on screen over the years as Osama
I've heard 90s but yeah. Prolly different depending on the local disease level. In Ontario Canada it's illegal to leave a child alone till the age of 12.
Same. Walked and took buses to school from around 6-7 years of age in the late 90s. My parents were divorced, so I also commuted a lot between their places as a child.
Perfectly normal thing that all the other kids were also doing. I remember one mom being a bit afraid for her daughter, so I was asked to take the bus and walk together with her, but that’s it.
I walked to middle and high school cuz it started too early for my folks. People getting in the car to drive a block will never cease to amaze me
