@JarOfCards @aarmlovi Manhattan has like 1.5x the population density of Shinjuku

True, but in real life people compare themselves to their demographic and social peers.

You left out Latvia and Bulgaria. What if we leave out poor US areas?

Compare Scandinavia to Massachussets. Brussels to DC.

A professor at Berkeley makes 2-3x what their status peer at Sorbonne does.

I watch Californian middle class families take 25 ft boats out on the weekend. Danish middle class families can’t do that, even if they strongly prioritize it.

@m0thercity @mozkid8 $8 for a wet second hand 12 oz modelo is not paradise, come on guy..

@maximumpunk Were you there?

Trying to catch the Mexico-Korea game in Koreatown has got to be my worst experience in my year in the US so far. I’d elaborate but I’m too exhausted.

In theory it was a cool party. In reality it was way too chaotic and impossible to get in front of any screen (whether in the park or at a bar -- why are there so few??) . The logistics couldn't support it and it seemed less about football than just taking over a neighborhood and being loud. You could only buy beers from randoms with a cooler. It was like a third world country. I'm gonna check out one of the official FIFA Fan Zones next and see if it's different.

@doloresquintana @trojanchick99 It looks cool on TV but it was a nightmare on the ground

@BrandonKHill Heinrich = Hairinrihi?

@PositivFuturist They know it's existential. That's why they cheer for it. They'll never admit it because it'd be bad for their cause. So they gaslight.

[Peter Piontek @peterpiontek_]

Character formation, personal development and learning general knowledge do not require wealth. Look at Maslow's hierarchy of needs. The material requirements are essentially food and a roof over your head. Being poor isn't an enormous obstacle in itself. It's that a lot of poor people become poor by being miserable souls with no ambition and a lot of hate toward the world. These people make terrible parents.

@paleonormie ~50% of danes understand that, the rest had their brain cooked. Elections are a toss up between communism and "lets not do communism and infinite immigration" every time.

@ArkaSerezh It’s gross and I sincerely doubt people “visit” it. It’s just always in the way wherever you need to go, so tourists necessarily pass by.
