Facts. One time we were talking about how cool it would be to live really close to a mall as a kid.
Then we realized that our local mall has no pedestrian crossings or even sidewalks, so you'd still have to get adults to drive you even if you were across the street. Or play frogger across several lanes
I think the question is best answered by reversing it. Why do you choose to listen to music?
Now don't get me wrong I listen to a ton of stuff. I have an mp3 player for air travel and I listen to all kinds of things in my car and for my whole shift at a manufacturing job I used to have.
But out on the street, on a bike or on the trails I never have any music on. From a practical standpoint it's simply safer to be aware of what's going on, but that's not the point for me.
I use that time to just let my mind wander and internalize info I learned that day or to look back on things that happened recently. That boredom is soon replaced with thoughts and daydreams and feelings and memories. And it's nice to see my part of the world as it is, without any filter and seeing how places and people change day by day.
There was an elective college class that I took that was about movies. There were some really meh movies but one that surprised me was called Smoke. This scene here stuck with me the most because it changed the way I look at the areas I see every day.
What about a cars with 500k lumen headlights and the ability to go faster than anything you've ever seen without even having legs?
Yeah put it across from the model of MH370, by the photo of JFK getting shot
It's like anything else, for every annoying or pushy christian you hear about there's dozens of others doing their thing and not bothering anyone.
And it varies church to church too, with some really wanting to get out into the community and others keeping to themselves but welcoming people who are curious when they come to them.
They say we can stand on the shoulders of giants, but first we gotta climb a friggin giant
People downvote, but you're not wrong and it's probably the most common example in rural areas
Idk how common it was but it's a good example of a "third place". A spot that isn't work or home where you can meet and socialize
You can have an epic bossfight!
That reminds me there's a game called Shadows of Doubt! You are a detective in a dystopian cyber noir world where corporations run everything.
Anyway they just added a mode to have the damned snail always after you while you're trying to take on jobs and solve crimes
Skunk cabbage?
