Not only that, but have any of these people SEEN the fucking outside recently? We get like 3 weeks in fall and 3 weeks in spring that aren’t freezing or sweltering. Everything needs you to be driven to it. Everything costs money. If you try and hang out at a park or something, some busybody calls the cops on you. If…
