Wait, we're discussing the wrong thing entirely.
This woman took the bus for a one mile hike while she was in college? Like, in her twenties she looked at the prospect of walking for just over a kilometer and a half, a distance you can apparently cover by bike faster than by bus, and she went "nah, I need mechanical help for that".
This happened in the US, didn't it?
To be clear, this did not happen at all
Oh, you go around telling kids about the tooth fairy, too? Get in the spirit.
How about you get in the spirit of doing your chemistry homework instead of posting on lemmy
Oh, man, the last time I had some of that was in 1997. I'd trade you posting on Lemmy for another go at that.
In 1997. Screw being a teenager in the 21st century.
Oh man, would I love to take back my MLL knowledge and build an AI to farm bitcoins for me.
Man, I still regret not getting in on it in the begining when you could mine with consumer hardware you weren't using. Back when it was almost entirely hypothetical and nowhere accepted them for anything. People treating them like play money and "tipping" posts on reddit.
So they casually tipped with something worth a mill. Funny thing, I did get into minning, and earned 0.000003 Bitcoins before thinking it's stupid af, would cost more in bills, and quit
Screw existing in the 21st century
Fair point. But hey, at least I have less of it to go and better social security.
And also somehow anon was a gay man.
It could have. Greentext doesn't have to be fake either
Right in theory that could possibly happen
But it's 4chan Greentexts let's be honest hahaha
Lemmy: Cars are a plague and shouldn't exist, communities need functional public transit
Also Lemmy: Someone used public transit when they could have walked? Pathetic.
Both can be true. I love public transport, but I wouldn't take the bus for 1.5 km. I'd walk or, at most, take my bike.
Yes, also if it's a little rainy outside.
What if you're carrying a heavy backpack and the bus stop is right next to your class?
Don't even bother, gatekeepers gonna gatekeep
What does gatekeeping even mean at this point lmao
How heavy are you talking about? Pretty sure that, here in Denmark at least, there are rules to giving a back-breaking amount of books and homework to carry.
If it's not back-break... walk.
Idk, a laptop, lunch, and 2-3 textbooks?
You're expecting Americans to rawdog their life?
You might take the bus on the many make days a year there's a heat advisory to stay indoors In my state (USA). Plus often when it rains here, it's not a little rainy. It goes from sunny to pouring in 15 minutes, torrential downpour for 20 minutes and right back to sunny. Pretty unpredictable. But mostly I don't think it's nuts to take the bus to class when there's time pressure and then walk home when there's not.
In the Netherlands, students get free public transport. If there's a bus coming that you can use for free, why not?
For 1~2 km? No.
I went to college in Breda (HIO at Hogeschool Breda, later known as Avans Hogeschool).
If I were to take the bus from the train station to the school building, I'd have been late to class too often.
I walked to class, those 2km from the station to the school at the Lovendijkstraat. Only when it rained did I take the bus and accepted the fact I'd be marked tardy.
