    One thing that came as a culture shock for me is that I’m used to driving like 4 hours to see relatives. And this is usually several times a year. Then I heard from some Britons that they have rarely visit their relatives who are only like a hour drive away. Really messed me up the first time.

        And they say we should all just switch to electric bikes like in the Netherlands. I tried showing them a comparison of the states using a map but turns out “I am just being difficult”

          The “map” is not the problem, you just completely fucked up your city planning. Size of a country has zero impact on your daily commute.

            Lol Ok. Guess everyone has to crowd together in comparatively tiny little cities. All this usable land outside the cities is now uninhabitable. Genius.

            Let me guess, we will own nothing and be happy, right? Oh and don’t forget about eating bugs!! Yum yum!
