Community is the opposite of convenience.
We all say we want the street on the left, but the street on the right is the receipt for our online shopping habits.
You can't have Amazon convenience and Main Street charm. Corporate convenience shopping will cannibalize small businesses commerce.

My wife and I have been driving for at least 10 hours over the last few days to visit friends and family (Canada is a big country). "Driving home for Christmas" was our soundtrack for the trip.
RIP Chris Rea.

Earlier this year, I re-read the @scalzi.com "Old Man's War" series in prep for "The Shattering Peace".
I'm doing the same for @cstross.bsky.social and "The Laundry Files" in prep for "The Regicide Report" but, man, "Quantum of Nightmares" is hitting a little too hard given, you know, everything.

Somewhere out there is an alternate universe in which Gore beat Bush and MySpace beat Facebook and Nuzzi didn't release a book of Vogon poetry-level prose.
It's lovely and those blissfully ignorant people have no idea what fate they dodged.

Half my neighbors want cops to arrest 10yo kids for riding ebikes. Local stores and restaurants allow max of two teenagers in the store at once. Kids played Pokemon Go outdoors and people reacted like it was the end times.
We took everywhere away from them. Of course they’re on their phones.

Remember when the malls were saying kids couldn't come there without an adult unless they worked there...? Remember that one city that gave all its kids a curfew...? Remember the kids police killed for playing unsupervised...? Or the parents charged with crimes for leaving their kids in parks...?
"Most of the children in our survey said that they aren’t allowed to be out in public at all without an adult. Fewer than half of the 8- and 9-year-olds have gone down a grocery-store aisle alone; more than a quarter aren’t allowed to play unsupervised even in their own front yard."
