It would be so much we easier if they just admitted they were in highschool. Sure. The only thing I need a car for if groceries. The only thing this person needs a car for is 45$ of Mom's Costco membership worth of Doritos

Have you heard of public transit? Quite useful for getting places.

What's public transit? Will that drive me 50 miles to work at the exact time I need it to?

I'm salty my country is like this. Fucking stupid

Not really useful in many places. And for most homes, it's non existent

A bike maybe. But you can only carry so much groceries on a bike without it being a very frustrating experience.

I can easily do our shopping with a regular bike, cargo bike would carry more than my partners car can.

I'm almost 40 and that's about all I use mine for, outside of camping trips.
