The exact opposite actually starbucks and others that are similar are for people who aren't stuck up and have things to get done so they need something quick since they didn't have time to make it at home.
Coffee is for caffeine to get work done, to me an iced latte or ice coffee from Starbucks tastes just fine compared some $10 latte at some over hyped coffee shop.
Corona and lime is good also not sure why people hate on it. No one cares how cool the craft beer drinkers think they are.
They were just less sheltered. I mean many people in countries across the world live in worse conditions.
To be honest most people in America have become so comfortable that they just look for problems to make there lives seem harder than they really are now days.
I would be willing to bet people were also happier back then too.
You better watch out though I would actually be more worried with that type of relationship because your wife will now realize she has unlimited options and start to second guess. So many divorces happen now from things as simple as a facebook message leading to an affair.
That fear of missing out could hit hard and lots of people get blindsided by it.
No i disagree has nothing to do with that. The downfall is when it became a way for people to make money. Monetizing social media ruined it plain and simple. Now it's just full of people spamming the same trends and posting anything to go viral. The fact we literally have a generation of people of average people who do cringey dances and cringey voice overs as a job is insane.
Why Twitter is better now than before. I used to never use it and now i use it more than any other platform.
Don't really get why people are hating so much. Finally there is somewhere where people can post without being banned or having posts removed. Why do you want filtered social media it's fake.
I suspect because you have not done manual labor. When you really get in a routine, it just has this feeling at the end of the day after being outside in the sun or snow. It is nothing like sitting in front of a computer.
I firmly believe that in our dna we were wired to be outside most of the time.
Have you actually been to Tokyo? It's insanely crowded everywhere. Just walking across intersections and navigating train stations is insane. Hotels are the size of your closet and apartments are the size of your closet. Japan has one of the higher depression rates. If anything this proves high density cities are unhealthy.
No because screens are terrible for your mental health. Most kids will sit there 24 hours a day if no one teaches them self control. Screens destroy relationships, health, and most of your existence if you have no self control which 90% of people don't.
If you would travel to those places you would actually realize how depressing it actually is. They have some of the highest depression rates in the world. They overlfowing with people you can barely walk on sidewalks. Someone explain how that is peaceful and enjoyable to live in.
I would say downtown is also subsidized by rural areas that require cars. The food you eat is not grown downtown, factories where the products are made that you use are not made downtown. Downtowns are very artificial and consumer oriented. The entirety of downtown couldn’t even exist with the the people living outside it making the food and products you use. Yet the areas outside downtown could easily exist without downtown.
Cramming as many people tightly packed into small cube apartments in one area so you can build a train or have a bus is highly detrimental to peoples mental health and every study proves this.
