I make memes semi-frequently but you'd best check my reddit for those, though I'll occasionally post them here.

@kevinta27505608 @big_pedestrian To Americans maybe. Most places it's perfectly normal to stop by and grab whatever you happen to need at the corner store on your walk home from work.

Heck, it's also normal to just have the kids do it on the way home from school.

@DanForTexas @zackdfilms1 It's an ability you're only able to unlock once you become a bajillionaire.

And you're a duck

@Naravarts @MarioEmmet @zackdfilms1 That's David Tennant FYI

@lilahhive Isn't it literally a recurring plot point that ONLY Scrooge is skilled enough to swim in his money? Like I feel like I recall multiple instances where he's evading enemies by diving into the gold, unable to be followed.

@sacha_coward Wilf would hate to see Twitter, I salute you sir

@jackgeldhart @O_Lauzon @XJohnDunbar @big_pedestrian 2. There are even fewer places in the US where a pedestrian is able to walk 5 blocks from their homes without being placed in the path of deadly vehicles on high-speed roads.

@jackgeldhart @O_Lauzon @XJohnDunbar @big_pedestrian All the tweet is saying is they want to be able to walk to the grocery store without there being likelihood of getting hit by a car. Now let's break it down:

1. In the US there are very few places in the world where it is legal to build a grocery store within 5 blocks of housing

@Dihuh THERE'S A MALEFICENT 2???

I'm watching it tonight

[J_train13 @J__train13]

@jackgeldhart @O_Lauzon @XJohnDunbar @big_pedestrian Well, considering that's not at all what the tweet said, I'm not sure why it's relevant

[J_train13 @J__train13]

@jackgeldhart @O_Lauzon @XJohnDunbar @big_pedestrian Okay cool! Have you happened upon any streets that are designed as being described?

[J_train13 @J__train13]

@jackgeldhart @big_pedestrian @O_Lauzon @XJohnDunbar Oh you misunderstand, I was talking about if you wanted to make a fully pedestrianised square of sorts.

And well, with the huge success of congestion pricing, looks like NYC is already well on its way to solving traffic problems

[J_train13 @J__train13]

@jackgeldhart @O_Lauzon @XJohnDunbar @big_pedestrian I see nothing wrong with wanting bumper height restrictions on vehicles

[J_train13 @J__train13]

@jackgeldhart @O_Lauzon @XJohnDunbar @big_pedestrian In what world is "have you travelled much?" In any way rude? I was asking an honest question and then providing examples in case you haven't.

Also, I was responding to the other guy who said "if no big truck then how store get food?" And I was simply explaining how

[J_train13 @J__train13]

@timecop85 @big_pedestrian No, they aren't

[J_train13 @J__train13]

@jackgeldhart @big_pedestrian @O_Lauzon @XJohnDunbar The simple answer is you close off every other parallel street to cars, and the delivery vans unload in between them

@DeBrigand @lordgmanilson @EliotWilson2 Not to mention the US would colonise a lot harder than Denmark

[J_train13 @J__train13]

@lordgmanilson @Scribblemilk @EliotWilson2 Independence is not the US
