It's as though having spurned X followers they have now started to turn on the people in here. In X I was abused bcos of racism and discrimination. Here, it's fucking peanuts and beef stew 🤷🏾♀️ Life is just too short. But if you want to stay in contact I'll check in again sometime to see if you've DM'd

In both cases, it became clear that there are some fundamental cultural issues between people inside and outside of the US which I just don't have the patience with. Also the larger accounts just don't take any responsibility for the actual psychological harm that they can do, too many god complexes

Hi Johnny, wanted to let you know that I've decided to come off Bluesky. That last pile on was the last straw, can't see it getting better here, only worse, it's too US centric, the blue ticks are only going to make their hierarchies worse and I realised that I prefer talking to people face to face.

Seriously, yours might be the most miserable. Shame me for being polite, courteous and offering a cultural perspective. I didn't think you'd actually move to Spain. It was like an invitation to my home where you'd be happier. But miserable people just gonna miser I suppose.

Well I do now. Nothing's going to change the way you eat, what you eat, how you shop, the options you'll resign yourself too, there'll be no fundamental shift in belief that the whole relationship with food and sustenance might be a better focus for a better outcome with same ends. You're trapped.

It is a public good. I think what's happening in US is appalling and you've every right to be angry and want change. Of course. But I defo see a cultural difference in US based chats that it is very marked.

No idea. I came here years ago, under EU free movement with just £200 in my pocket.

No, I was just joining in a conversation. It intrigued me. I think it's a positive trait to share experiences, challenge/learn from others and see if we can all help each other make our lives better. What I do find is that there are some subjects Americans really don't like to self reflect about.

So interesting. It appears you guys really are a species apart.

Coming from the UK, where it's more similar to the US, I can definitely see how people are conditioned into thinking there's only one way to live. It took a while to get used to it. To get over my frustrations of wanting everything now, everything quick. But it is all in the planning/prioritisation.

It's a horrible rat race, where the basics have long been forgotten. Spanish people, typically work from 9am until 8pm every day. Yes, there's a siesta, but many don't go home. Between 2pm and 4pm, they'll eat properly, go back to work and then arrive home at 9-10pm.

It's pretty easy to make bread and peanut butter at home from scratch. Don't mean to be pedantic. It really is. I live in Spain and although there is shit food if you want it, there's no reliance on processed foods and the bread has so few preservatives and crap in it, it goes hard by bedtime.

There's only two answers, move to the countryside and grow your own or move to a country with better food regulation.

Un pequeño bache en la cronología de la evolución humana, donde lo mejor que podemos esperar es que se haya producido algún pequeño avance en la especie.

No, creo que Occidente ha estado en una burbuja de iluminación privilegiada durante los últimos 30/40 años y simplemente estamos volviendo al estado de mierda en el que siempre ha estado la humanidad.

Mi hijo de 8 años se puso muy nervioso al darse cuenta de que no tendríamos luz ni cobertura. "Mamá, no podremos ir a ningún sitio porque no tenemos GPS". Se quedó atónito cuando le enseñé nuestros viejos mapas de carreteras. "Estos eran los que usaban mamá y papá antes de Google Maps." 😏

El PP y Vox, ahora afirman que el incidente eléctrico de ayer se debe a la excesiva dependencia de las energías renovables y que nunca habría ocurrido si España dependiera más de la tecnología nuclear. Porque, como saben, nunca ha habido desastres en centrales nucleares.

That's why I wrote "in the most part" 🤣🤣
Here in Asturias, most people just started coveting the number of cows in the fields 🤣

People trapped in lifts, no lifts...volunteers having to walk trays of food up various levels in hospitals to feed the sick, patients unable to move floors, people trapped in trains in desertified areas with no water or communications. All within a matter of minutes

I've seen people on here laughing it off as a siesta🙄. But we got completely cut off from the outside world within 2 hrs. No card payments, no prescriptions, no medical services except emergencies, no oxygen, no dialysis, no fridges for insulin, no fuel, phones, no water in places,no infrastructure

Exactly. They are. And it happened at exactly 12.30pm. On the dot.
There's no weather anomaly that precise.
I'm in Spain. The wake up call today has been very real. Absolutely convinced this was a warning shot...other countries shrug it off and ignore it at their peril.
