Things I've learned/remembered from last time on Twitter: 1. Read. Reflect. Respond. 2. Everyone's fighting their battles. most of them are private. Be kind. 3. Argue the view, respect the viewer. 4. Spend 80% of a pre-date shower washing your bum. 5. Dog vids > cat vids (still!)

The downside of riding your bike to work: You have to ride your bike back home when you're tired as hell.... 😭

@Shawn61966184 @devvinggold @Pivot2Centre BTW, if you had just asked "can you explain what you mean?" I would have politely & patiently explained further. But because you entered with insults, then fuck you. I've already wasted enough time with pricks like you who can't ask questions like a normal human being.

@Shawn61966184 @devvinggold @Pivot2Centre So according to wiki: median US income is ~$83k and 50% of that is ~$41k. The US has MORE ppl earning under that $41k value than other countries' respective "50% of median income". It represents how many are earning the lower 1/4 of incomes.

@ayaprivee May sound silly, but almost definitely Vancouver Island overall. I might consider northern Italy but would want to visit first to be sure, lol

@BcTall @devvinggold @Pivot2Centre Do you know how percentages work? The median is right in the middle. So 50% will be above the median and 50% will be below you fucking clown.

@sedelange @thisisnew_me1 OK, stop right there bub.... "imported 100 million"???? Huh? (I mean, that's actually LOW considering EVERYONE in the US who's not Native American is an immigrant, but TOTAL since 1920 is ~94M) But go on & blame everyone else. Surely its their fault, never yours...

I worked 50-60 hours a week for years. Built our own house with my wife and father. Saved to buy cars. One income was never enough to cover everything. The women’s lib movement increased available worker by 50% thus depressing the growth substantially. The same wage suppression is happening because we have imported 100 million 3rd world immigrants and their off spring. Add the overspending by government and the accompanying inflation due to borrowing and you get the situation we all experience.

Boomers ask why we don’t go to church, join clubs, or know our neighbors. We work 50 hours a week. Commute 2 hours a day. Spend what’s left on rent. They had evenings. They had weekends. One income covered enough to leave room for everything else. We have two incomes & no time

@Shawn61966184 @devvinggold @Pivot2Centre They're also 1/10th the population. I mean, c'mon. The US is 3rd largest country by pop & size and largest by GDP (last I checked). Of course they can host all this stuff. And YET US also has greater % living below 50% median income. Not a great stat to showcase wealth IMO

@devvinggold @Pivot2Centre Australia and Canada are big first world countries. They could not come close to achieving that.

@TERA1PATRICK IMO its a good summary of the South in general (regarding extroversion & other obs). I've lived in 3 of the 4 corners (+ IN) and I think its a pretty fair summary of the US South lol! But what you say about "Europeans" is dead-on accurate!

Texas is not a representation of the US . When you say “ Europeans “ are you lumping every country in Europe together and comparing your impressions of Americans in Texas to this because that’s not .. accurate? I’m glad you’re experience has been positive though 🙌✨
Rocketshipalx@rocketshipalx

My thoughts after 3 months in the US/Texas🇺🇸: - Americans are way more extroverted than Europeans - Talking to strangers is normal here - My first H-E-B trip felt like Boris Yeltsin seeing an American grocery store - Some food is more artificial, but the amount of choices is insane - You can still eat healthy. You just have to choose it - High risk, high reward is real - Way more people are entrepreneurial - People dream bigger than in Europe, and they actually execute - Obv not everyone is smarter, but the smart people are world-class - Successful people here are way more down-to-earth. In Europe, successful people care about status and can be arrogant - Cars. Enough said - Americans have perfected artificial sweets - There’s still more freedom here than in Europe - One thing I didn’t expect: some Americans talk down on America - As an outsider, that’s weird, because imo it’s still the greatest country on Earth🇺🇸🇺🇸

@BcTall @Cycle_Point @fredo_4k @lilybrodi And if you’re searching up “is tim hortons the 3rd largest in the us”, make sure to ask “what about Dutch bros” as the google AI is prone to hallucinations from old info.

@MlleNela Rooting for Senegal - they're ranked lower so I always love the underdogs (nothing against France, but they are a powerhouse!). Rooting for all the smaller nations, honestly!

Ready for France VS Sénégal ⚽️☺️ The funny thing about both teams is that they’re basically same difference🤣 I’ll be happy regardless of the outcome and will be watching Sénégal performance closely. Who do you think will score first?
