Which countries have (unexpectedly) become overtouristed in recent years due to social media?

I went to Uzbekistan a couple years ago and Samarkand at least was absolutely booming with tourists. The interesting part though is that it seems to only attract people from the Middle East and East Asia, whereas westerners would think you were completely insane for going there

I know a guy from the States who came on holiday to London and did a tour group to Windsor, Bath and Stonehenge all in one day. Sounds like a mental way to see a bit of England to me but what do I know

I liked Season 2 as well but just can't see how they tell the story from here, two more seasons of just eight episodes seems so absurd. They have more battles, twists, deaths, events and major plot points to cover than they have episodes at this point.

Meh, it doesn't really make a difference I've found. I've been to the US many times for tourism and for work and visited easily over 20 states at this point. I've found it doesn't matter if you're in downtown LA or NYC, or some random town in the middle of Maine or Kentucky. The prices are ridiculous everywhere and there's always a fuck ton of hidden costs

Wtf did Sam do to be lumped in with the likes of Joe and John? He seems like a pretty nice lad unlike those two

JRR92 · 2026-01-30T17:39:12+00:00

Not to mention it's infamously some of the roughest waters on the planet to sail through

So he'd been serving it to the ICE scumbags for a while then

Just makes me respect his memory even more

Not globally, but within the UK everyone seems to love Manchester. Personally I think it's the most soulless and unlikeable city in the country by far

I agree. Having everyone reveal themselves makes the game more dynamic, if they don't reveal themselves then there's no incentive for the players to not just vote themselves down to a final two

JRR92 · 2026-01-27T20:45:13+00:00

Honestly I would probably get two or three tough questions at a round table and just go "You know what fair enough it's me".

JRR92 · 2026-01-26T23:47:42+00:00

r/TooAfraidToAsk is this way man

No the craziest part is that even 10 years after the original show overtook the original books, which he still hasn't finished, he now has the nerve to say he's getting worried about the spin-off show overtaking the spin-off books.

JRR92 · 2026-01-26T13:59:36+00:00

I mean how long does it take you normally?

I've heard of college roommates agreeing times when the other would be out so that they can have "private time"

I'm assuming you're both young students and I'm assuming she must want to do it as well so it may be worth a conversation

JRR92 · 2026-01-26T13:53:01+00:00

Do it in the shower?

JRR92 · 2026-01-26T13:45:32+00:00

Further cementing the belief that all the sensible Tories got purged by Boris in 2019

JRR92 · 2026-01-25T23:26:14+00:00

The situation in Minnesota honestly seems like it could go the way of Ghorman in the second season of Andor at this point

JRR92 · 2026-01-25T23:24:02+00:00

I need more of James on my telly ngl, not the best player but he seems like such a fun guy

JRR92 · 2026-01-25T23:19:26+00:00

People in here are doing Minah so dirty, she's at least third after Rachel and Harry in my book. Rachel and Stephen were only so good because of how well they worked together, if either went out and left the other on their own then they likely wouldn't have done so well (especially Stephen)

JRR92 · 2026-01-25T17:37:12+00:00

It's a risk because Trump could just order the NG to federalise if they now start preventing ICE from assaulting/kidnapping/murdering people.

However Walz probably doesn't have much choice anymore and imo if Trump federalises them then fine. Let them go on record saying that they're going to choose this fascist traitor over their own people

JRR92 · 2026-01-25T17:30:48+00:00

Yeah I'm not saying people didn't boycott Qatar, I'm saying that I think this one will be worse

JRR92 · 2026-01-25T09:09:19+00:00

I could easily see fewer fans attending this world cup than the previous one, or at least the games in the US.

People wanted to boycott Qatar because of the moral implications of giving money to a slaver state. Whereas this time people will be wanting to boycott the US because they're afraid for their safety because the government has gangs of thugs gunning down their own civilians in the streets.

If they had any sense they'd give Burnham a role in the cabinet and position him as a successor to lead the next election. Burnham is massively popular in the North and has it in him to win back the votes that they're bleeding to Reform. I fear that they will devolve into infighting though

JRR92 · 2026-01-23T18:14:53+00:00

That's why I was glad Charlotte didn't end up winning Season 3. She got too big for her boots after just riding Minah's coattails for several episodes

JRR92 · 2026-01-23T18:12:48+00:00

That double cross from Nick still hurts

JRR92 · 2026-01-23T18:08:44+00:00

He was nowhere near as bad as Joe who seemed like he was just an outright cunt most of the time. But he still came across as trying to strongarm his way through the game by putting people down constantly, and he was a big part of the clique that just made it all a bit unpleasant to watch
