every five minutes someone does this exact same thing on your poor suffering post....

Gotta admit the headline is a banger.
#someone in the notes is talking about how rural people with limited internet should just go to the public library#and sure i guess but uh. do you think every public library is like. close by? i've never lived in a rural area so i can't speak for this#but like when i drove through rural areas in california as a kid a lot of those people lived pretty far apart from just about everything#so to get to a library you first need to have access to a vehicle and then you need to be able to afford the gas to get there#say you live in like jamesburg. the nearest public library is almost fifteen miles away; so it's nearly a half hour drive#if you have a bike you could get there in maybe an hour and a half. if you're walking it's a five hour hike#afaik public transport isn't an option for this scenario#ok so let's say you have a car AND you can afford to make the drive or it's on your way or something#the library is closed on sundays and mondays; it's open from 10-6 tues-thurs and fro 10-5 fri-sat. if you can't make that sucks to be you#well what about a different library? it's 50+ miles/80 minutes to get to big sur library#big sur library is closed 3 days a week and open from 2-6 wed/thurs and 10-3 fri/sat#basically if you have any time constraints your best bet is the little free library in salinas which is a 44 minute drive a 2 hour bike rid#or an 8 minute walk#the only public transport option i know of in that area at all is the monterey-salinas transit which doesn't go through jamesburg afaik#look this isn't the point just PLEASE consider whether or not other people's circumstances are identical to your own ffs
