    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.

          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

        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.
