When I was in 4th-6th grade (6th grade was elementary in my school district growing up) my parents let me ride my bicycle to school. It was about 1.5 miles, and it was way out in the country, so the entire distance had to be done on the actual road, as there were no sidewalks. Never had to deal with traffic per se, but cars would be traveling around 50 mph, expect when you got within a few hundred feet of the school. Junior high and high school were 7 and 6 miles away respectively, which is neither walkable or bike-ridable. I either took the bus or got a ride from my dad. Luckily I got my license in 10th grade and was able to drive to school after that.

I'm 41 years old. I saw some posts pop up on my facebook timeline from 10 or 11 years ago and I shuddered at what I wrote. I don't think you have to be a child/teenager to write things that you'll later be embarrassed about. EDIT: At least with D1P, it's mostly anonymous. Facebook is horrible because it's YOU that is posting garbage, not your alter ego or avatar. Social media without the anonymity sucks, and it's clear that it has a huge negative impact on young people.

China is wet dreaming of all of that wide open, sparsely populated land in Eastern Siberia that is just being begged to be annexed from a weakened Russia. It's in China's best interests to see the Russians receive a humiliating defeat in Ukraine, and a subsequent dissolution of the Russian government and military. Probably not going to happen of course, but Xi can dream.
