It’s not about how long it is. It’s about how unpleasant and dangerous it is to walk around 90% of America.

40 minutes is freaking long enough. That’s twice a day.

It’’s about how unpleasant and dangerous it is to walk around 90% of America.
Imagine actually believing this though. Just huddled inside scared of the world. Sounding like a MAGAt.

Lol what? Actually it just so happens that I am walking/biking a lot, but only because I currently have safe routes available to me. I’ve chosen my location very carefully with this requirement in mind. Until recently though I have lived in your average American town where you wouldn’t catch me walking unless there’s was no other option. Insults out of the cars alone would deter most people, but being in constant danger of being run over is where I draw the line.

What does your “Average American Town” look like in your mind?
What’s the population like?
Is it Rural, suburban, urban?
I’m only curious because I’ve lived all over and to say you felt unsafe in 90% of it makes me think it’s a you problem and not a problem with “Average American Town”

Plus, Anon is already on the bus. They could have been on the bus for an hour before the grasshopper got on.

I’d take a 40min walk over my 30min driving commute, traffic sucks.

I used to start the day with about a 30min walk to work and end it with a 1h20min walk back from uni at the end of the day. Would end up with about 10km a day for about 2 months.
You kinda get used to it, but I still prefer to ride my motorcycle since it now takes like 25min in total.

What I got was it was only that long because anon got off early because of the grasshopper.
