  • I live in a semi rural area. My closest grocery store is 10km, but it’s down the interstate, meaning even if I wanted to walk it, I couldn’t. Without using the interstate it’s about 15km.

    My closest convenience store is only 7km, but the road i live on is not safe for walking (lots of blind curves, no sidewalks)

    My nearest bus stop is 60 kilometers away, in my nearest city.

    Nearest library is about 4 km past the convenience store, so 11ish klicks

    Nearest train station is give or take 300 kilometers. We don’t really have any train service here.

    Straight line distance from me to big Ben, give or take 6,500 kilometers




  • It’s not the police that keep us from killing each other, or even laws that do so. Check out law and authority sometime if you’re able. It’s very short and worth a read. We don’t kill each other because we don’t enjoy being killed or killing. We’re social creatures, and don’t want to be shunned. Crimes of passion don’t really change based on laws, but the way we organize society may actually be increasing the number of murders, because some people are desperate enough to kill for food or shelter
