Well, you missed the part when the Iranian regime, for decades, has killed homosexuals and women; when they have collaborated with repressive regimes like Cuba and Venezuela, among other antics. But why should I care to explain if you've come to X to make a full display of your ignorance and stupidity to engage people instead of asking the AI of your choice. Bye, Felicia!

What’s neat about being an American is, even in civilian life, if you’re ever in a place where the shit is *really* hitting the fan (e.g. a bad guy decides to take control of the army and turn the internet off in an entire country, roads are getting blocked, buildings on fire, food stores close down, commercial air travel stops) the U.S. government will aggressively help locate us and help us leave. They answer and won’t abandon you to your fate. When this happens and you’re saying good byes in the hotel lobby there’s always some forlorn French or South Africans just like “we can’t get ahold of anyone and have no idea what to do.” People who don’t constantly marvel at American greatness aren’t living in reality.

@lukas_ohl The tube is fairly unpleasant too. All the infrastructure is so old at this point.

This is a good thread, but it’s important to recognise that the London Underground skews whiter/richer because it’s more expensive than the bus, hence the better behaviour. Spend any time on the upper deck of a London bus and it’s a different experience.
Alonso Gurmendi@Alonso_GD

People in a crammed tube train will wait until it arrives at the station, say “I’m sorry” and people will move out of their way to get off easily in every stop. There’s no “hell no I got my spot”. In Peru you start moving to the front several stops ahead of time

@MetroUK So this woman could very well be suffering from some kind of mental health crisis or brain problem yet the media and the police plaster her face everywhere. An important commits a serious crime and we aren’t even allowed a description. Go figure.

@SkyNews @BellusUK British media clutching pearls over Trump's language while Iran is blocking global shipping lanes. Maybe focus on the actual problem instead of the colorful wording describing it.

Notice how Hunter Biden doesn’t sell art anymore. He doesn’t sit on any Ukrainian boards. He doesn’t do much of anything. His usefulness only existed when his father had political power.

@haugejostein It depends how you define “quality of life.” Some people like Norway and some people like Miami. Life is full of choices! It’s a big globe.

I have indeed been to Norway — I am Norwegian and lived there for 23 years before moving abroad. I have also lived in the US. And I can tell you that the quality of life is *far* better in Norway than in the US. Any quality of life index would tell you the same.
Dan Eastman@DanEastman2023

If you’ve ever been to Norway you’d realize it’s a very lovely place but the people live very utilitarian lives and there is nowhere near the quality of life you find in the US. It’s a nice, basic place to live with no urban turmoil, an homogeneous culture and not a lot of sunlight…

I spoke to someone retired from HMRC.. they explained that there's a certain number of sick days you can take before HR get involved, and that everyone treated it as a kind of second holiday allowance. Just to give you a flavour of the culture.
