@itsshevee @ocursedspite @c_9 @ajsadauskas @fuck_cars No mention of how they are collecting their data. Stores throw out too much, which is a huge problem, but I’d have a hard time believing that 80% of people are throwing out 40% of their food. “Over 80% of Americans may be prematurely tossing food because they misinterpret expiration dates”: MAY is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence.

@itsshevee @ocursedspite @c_9 @ajsadauskas @fuck_cars Who throws out 40% of their food? It’s way too expensive these days. The food folk buy in bulk isn’t perishables, it’s stuff for freezers and pantries.

@ocursedspite @seanddotmedotuk @c_9 @ajsadauskas @fuck_cars When I first moved to the big city, I spent a least 5 hours commuting a day, changing 3 times, often in very crowded conditions in which you were lucky to get a seat. It was NOT relaxing, especially with people hacking all over others without covering heir mouths, something I was rather shocked to learn was a thing with adults. It would’ve been 80 min-2 hrs by car, depending on traffic, with nice music, no rude crowds of people.

@seanddotmedotuk Depends. Some cities are big and sprawling and not everyone works in city centres. @c_9 @ajsadauskas @fuck_cars

@seanddotmedotuk A big thing with buses: how long does it take with a bus vs how long by car? If it’s a 2-3Xs diff, well, if you have a car, you’ll use the car. @c_9 @ajsadauskas @fuck_cars

@c_9 @ajsadauskas @fuck_cars It would be interesting to see a poll like that broken down by income. I don’t think that average folk think that much about it, but remembering that folk in Marin County opposed a Bart train expansion out their way because they didn’t want the riffraff moving in, you are probably onto something with your latter point.

@c_9 @ajsadauskas @fuck_cars The nots are puzzling. Folk don’t want a grocery store within walking distance?
