@theistinthought My husband and I go together and we carry two bags each. Lasts the week. Some people make multiple, smaller trips. Some people do use carts or strollers.

Question to the ‘walkable city’ advocates who hate cars: If you go to the grocery store and have eight bags (or even four bags) of groceries, how do you get them home? You push around a little cart or something? Sounds bad.

@IamSean90 Just look at Jersey City for your example on exactly what to do. Rent has gone from average $3400 to $2600.

OK riddle me this, if for most of human history, most women spent most of their lives pregnant/breast-feeding around small children. Why is there such visceral hate for the sound of children in public? Why is kids crying so offensive when this would’ve been completely normal for most of human history? This has to be a new evolutionary thing. For most of human history, people would be surrounded by screaming children all the time. ALL THE TIME! So we should be used to it and unbothered. What happened? And is it possible this sudden distaste for children is nature‘s way of making us have less of them? 🤔

@MFleischheuer @ProleOtter Americans are taught to get a credit card as early as they can to build credit and a credit score. Europe isn't like that. EEA also caps the interchange rate (fee paid by merchants to credit card companies) so credit card points are not a thing

@ProleOtter Is it a way of life there? Whack it all on the never never and worry about it later but consume everything you're told to consume? I mean, as a country they are in debt to the tune of 30 trillion or something. Maybe that's a macrocosm that's seeped down to the individual too.

I don't think the Americans on here realise quite how broke the average Brit is. Also it seems that Americans are very quick to assume that people just *have* credit cards? I know a total of one person to ever have a credit card.

My hot take - move Carousel of Progress to EPCOT before any changes are made. Fits better there than the current state of Tomorrowland. 🤷‍♂️

@TheRealRathole @omwsoon the gummies don't usually have iron for whatever reason. i think they would make the gummy too big or it would taste bad? you have to get regular, non-gummy ones

@omwsoon I remember I didn’t buy centrum BECAUSE it had iron. 🤔 i know there’s women’s 50+, pregnancy multi, and others I’m forgetting though so maybe I was looking at a different line.

@emilykmay It just makes no sense in NYC when it's a pretty short ride on the subway. I'd have no respect for someone who won't take public transit unless there was a good reason

I'm going to make the one take I haven't seen so far which is that OP isn't a 45 year old guy, he's a zoomer! He could be 19 or 20, which makes this entire post and the drama surrounding it especially absurd.

@DukeHerndon The stark physical difference between young men and young women of the same age is severely understated. Relationships with significant age gaps are very obviously biologically advantageous.

@AliceFromQueens I’m having trouble believing it’s real, in fact. Can it really be that 27 year old women in NYC are that crazy these days?

@GambelerQuail original premise is wrong, like where are they eating workday lunch for $28? even in midtown manhattan, the fancy salad places are like $20

I realize everyone is tired of the sandwich debate but we were taken to this point by the sandwich haters. “Lunch is $28” “wtf just bring a sandwich and some chips or fruit from home” “wtf that is poor people food, THESE BOOMERS WANT ME TO GET SCURVY!”

Based on the QTs of this tweet in particular, I am convinced the DoorDash discourse is about people being unable to understand tradeoffs. People think they should be able to get what they want & not give up anything else for it & think it’s unethical to live as if that isn’t true
constans@constans

I think the difference between you guys and me is that I like money more than the rest of you, so I’m willing to do stuff you wouldn’t do in order to have more money left over. “I should spend less on X so I can have more of Y” never enters your minds.

Friends that have been to Tokyo Disneyland, is it worth doing the hotel package that has everything or book offsite and add on the express? I hate the thought of pre planning every dining option

As much as I love hearing about Statler and Waldorf, I really wish Disney would’ve kept that a surprise. Imagine not knowing that and you go ride the ride and your surprised with not only Statler Waldorf being there, but it being the animatronics from Muppet vision.
