i lived there very briefly nearly a decade ago. i was floored to see how different it was from the united states. there was no shortage of intelligent conversation. they may be conformists and stiffs to a degree, but they can actually hold or maintain complex ideas out there. trying to talk to one of the locals in my town about anything above middle school level tier shit and they immediately tune out. it's like night and day. i have some friends who still live out there, but it's changing so fast now. i worry their demographic shift will result in major spikes in crime, violence, and an overall decay in their ability to govern themselves. in any case, take care fren. gotta hit the gym today before it closes. may the evil zog empire collapse and the independent nation state rise again. godspeed sir
