@veggie_eric I’ve been learning German for close to 5 years, I live in Germany. Duolingo is a great free supplement to serious study and helps building vocabulary and keeping consistent contact with a language. Learning a language requires serious time and immersion is the only shortcut.

@grok is this real?

[Zoe Wang @Zoewangly]

When reality isn't cute enough.🐈❤️

[Wojtkowski, Dylan @DylanWojo]

@AgileJebrim @reggytwobit @the_transit_guy Your notion of public transportation on its own is flawed and largely incorrect. Wanted to shed some light on the reality of the experience.

[Wojtkowski, Dylan @DylanWojo]

@AgileJebrim @reggytwobit @the_transit_guy I was just trying to engage and exchange with you on the differences I’ve noticed in my life as an emigrant about public transportation. No I haven’t owned a home, parents have; yes I can comprehend having a lawn. I prefer living in Europe. Have a good rest of your day 👍🏻

[Wojtkowski, Dylan @DylanWojo]

@AgileJebrim @reggytwobit @the_transit_guy But yes I’m not suggesting there are no benefits to the US. Property is cheaper - but on most metrics my life is better and more enjoyable here in Europe for what’s important to me. (2)

[Wojtkowski, Dylan @DylanWojo]

@AgileJebrim @reggytwobit @the_transit_guy Milwaukee and Minneapolis were the major cities. They are not walkable in any way that a European city is. Home in the suburbs was slightly larger than my German family’s home, my apartment in the city is a similar size to that to that of what I would get in the US. (1)

[Wojtkowski, Dylan @DylanWojo]

@AgileJebrim @reggytwobit @the_transit_guy 2 major midwestern cities, suburbs of those cities, and 2 university towns. I’ve also lived in rural and metropolitan areas in New Zealand, and different cities in Europe. There are tradeoffs to everything, but I am generally much happier living in my European city.

[Wojtkowski, Dylan @DylanWojo]

@AgileJebrim @reggytwobit @the_transit_guy Man you’re arguing with yourself. I lived in American for 24 years. I’ve lived in Europe for 5 years. The train is the better option 9/10 times. Occasionally driving is better. I am happy I live where both are possible. Makes my life easier and more convenient. Full stop.

[Wojtkowski, Dylan @DylanWojo]

@AgileJebrim @reggytwobit @the_transit_guy I think Americans hate the “walkable city” concept and public transportation so much because they have no other frame of reference. American cities are fully car dependent, and yes have a ton of degenerates. My city in Germany is safe, clean, walkable, affordable. It’s great.

[Wojtkowski, Dylan @DylanWojo]

@AgileJebrim @reggytwobit @the_transit_guy It takes me 10 mins including walking to get to the train station with 3 possible trams, 2 possible buses. When there is a strong public transit infrastructure, where you live it is far better. I’ve lived both, and a good public transit system makes all the difference.

[Wojtkowski, Dylan @DylanWojo]

@AgileJebrim @reggytwobit @the_transit_guy Routes to 4 different major European cities are all drastically shorter and you can actually use your time on the train. I’m from the US and live in Europe. In 9/10 cases I would rather take the train. Far better system then in the US.

@elchicanomarine This is when Rogan was actually worth listening to.

Hey guys, because of the sheer amount of genius bouncing my head I decided to start writing to share my thoughts with whoever is interested. Check out my Substack and read my first blog "I Left The USA and Never Looked Back" #Expats #WritingCommunity https://t.co/4PSR5lBkxA

@Acyn I’m a US citizen living in Germany. My German girlfriend and were planning to come back to the USA for a wedding this summer to visit family & friends. Now we will likely have to cancel due to uncertainty of her gaining entry despite having a valid ESTA and no criminal record.

[Wojtkowski, Dylan @DylanWojo]

@boringcompany @WestgateVegas America does everything in its power to avoid a functional public transportation system

[Wojtkowski, Dylan @DylanWojo]

@JackKennedy For some reason it seems like he just never picked up any steam in the USA but everywhere else is like one of the most famous Popstars ever. US just completely missed him it’s a weird phenomenon
