@ratvisionist Nature could of been beautiful in a lot of places it was destroyed. Outside of the royal preserves for royals hunting there is very little of it in Europe (or south America). In Europe, what remains is very far from wilderness. Yes, I think the US gets props for conservation
@GeoTwit4@microchipgnu Nah. I'm not ripping and twisting. (Though I am an idiot and legitimately took me over a month of living in Europe before I realized that the caps were supposed to be tethered.)
@_glorianas I have a 6 Euro a month prepaid plan. I have had no extra charges (on a budget service). The only place I didn't have service was the UK (and I would have if i had a contract plan for honestly only slightly more)
@EleonoraFall@LittleKnownPL Uhhhh. I have a 6€ a month phone plan. I have been to multiple countries and never paid a single fee. Potentially I could have in the UK, but nah.
@DylanALTKY@alexplaygamesx I work in hospitality in Spain, while people are surprised that I'm an American bartending here, I've never gotten a bad word (if anything I get a bit too much of the VOX folks excited thinking I'll be down with Trump)
@Ruff681368@woke8yearold Equally in Spanish. I can get by in Portugal and Italy. France, we won't understand each other speaking, but reading? Good enough.
@Volpe_Is_King@woke8yearold Spanish is honestly super useful. Obviously in the US, but even in Europe. I went to Ireland and ended up having a surprising amount of conversations in Spanish.
@flaptweetflap7@MariGO2thepolls@adonipriapus "Individuals and companies pay taxes, not counties and states" I realize you think this point makes you look smart. But, it really just points to having absolutely no reading comprehension.
@blagojevism Idk if it's uniquely Eastern European, if you served me half of the sausage and said it was longaniza I would accept it as a Spanish tapa, served exactly like this.
@clusterbitch_ I do think it's more complicated than that. I am in a very conservative part of Spain. In January I went to a townhall that had a former CIA analyst & everyone wanted to talk about Greenland. While a blimp in the US, it was far from that in Europe.
@OGNAGBONE@NilsLusch@The_Davos_Man If I was a Maine voter, I would vote for him in a general. But, It doesn't mean that I would be happy about it and would hope he gets challenged the second his seat is up for election again.
An American / European barber: 25 questions, and a 30 Euro bill. The haircut is usually pretty nice, though there is going to be like one or two things that you hate.
A Venezuelan: "Start from 0 or 1?" And for 10 pavos you have the best haircut of your life.
@AmanitaFugax It confirmed it for me, but as the story of Bill Murray stealing fries from people at McDonald's and saying "Nobody will ever believe you" goes.
EU protectionism is wild. A few years ago a company accidently ordered a pallet of Miller High Life and it got seized and destroyed in Belgium b/c the can has "Champagne of Beers".
@AmanitaFugax No, i didn't share another detail because I feel like nobody would believe me. When I passed by and did my double take thinking "Is that Alex Jones!?" He had his laptop open looking at AR-15 auctions.
