Do you have an example of "center media"? Asking because I earnestly want some of that.

twoxproblematicon Transporting food generates whopping amounts of carbon dioxide

I've lived in 7 cities in China and wet markets were always within comfortable walking distance.

I've tried biking to supermarkets in America but the closest has always been like 30 minutes away, and I need to have a crate just to sanely carry a decent amount to feed my family.

We've seen countless times people setting merely "fun" as their goal, and then getting horribly depressed when the nebulous "fun" is never struck upon, with no clue how to make any ground in that direction.

twoxproblematicon Love is biological bribery?

It's a natural result of society consuming ** propaganda nonstop for entertainment. We learn all the wrong lessons even though they feel sweet and and have good face value.
