[@RD-dt7us]

In a way it's impressive how the guy who uploaded the image for vlokken at 1:06:59 managed to upload the absolute saddest, most poorly photographed, washed out, unappetizing picture of vlokken ever. Like going to a Wikipedia article on hamburgers and only seeing a plain white bread roll with butter and a dry hamburger patty on it.

Grocery store 3-6 times a week is crazy

[@RD-dt7us]

Six times may be a bit much. But not all countries suffer from urban sprawl, with single-use zoning that only allows for residential or commercial buildings, but not both. So unless you're in a big city, you have to hop in your car to drive from your giant residential neighborhood to a strip mall next to a highway where all the stores are located. And since it's a hassle to do this every day, you go there once, maybe twice a week and stock up on frozen foods and non-perishables. Voilà. You now have American food and car culture. Many countries tend to avoid this by having walkable towns with stores, schools and other services specifically placed near residential neighborhoods so you can get there on foot or by bike. So it's easier to pop in to get some quick groceries just for the day.

[@B1u35ky]

I buy fresh stuff not some ultra processed crap that lasts two weeks - two years alright

[@woutertron]

That seems pretty typical for most city dwellers?

[@Nikowo1610]

Honestly that's extremely sane, around four days a week seems pretty standard

[@sathrielsatanson666]

Not really.

[@WikiED]

agree with NL's confusion about some products somehow existing, but i'd take it step further, there are shops that i dont understand how they survive. The worker's wage, building costs, the costs of acquiring the stock and making you question how are they staying afloat, when will they break even with the investment of setting up the store in the first place. And you know what shops i'm talking about, you rarely see anyone going there, you'd never go there yet the place persists over the years.

was screaming at my monitor during the gamedl part. Like a dragon is not the title for spinoff games in the yakuza series rather it is the original direct translation of the series title from japanese to english. They have now switched from the "yakuza" title to "like a dragon". The first to make that switch being Yakuza: Like a Dragon.
