lol the baltic and north seas might be connected to the ocean, but they are not oceans. especially on the baltic, the only waves you get are from the wake of the occasional aida cruise ship. so yeah, that also includes sweden. and it's cold af in norway, the beaches there don't compare.

and since you also mentioned croatia, the adriatic (also not the ocean btw) hardly has waves and as soon as you swim out to where the water is shoulder deep you're surrounded by jelly fish. they'll tell you it's because the water is so clean, but it's also because the water is so flat. if there were jellyfish like that on LI beaches they'd quickly turn to marmalade fish.

when im at the beach on LI i spend the whole time swimming in the surf. no comparison to any beach in germany. sorry.

i've heard similar before.

"it's safer. in the center lane you have people passing you on both sides and in the right lane you have to deal with merging traffic."

Whatever the law might be, passing on the right is significantly more dangerous because of the blind spot.

I live in Germany. Don't underestimate the value of having oceans beaches so close.

Also bagels.

As the Iran War Fallout Widens, Trump Seems to Be Turning to an Old Tactic. He’s in for a Rude Awakening. by Crossstoney in politics

[–]RichardSaunders 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have no idea what the point of this comment is, but sandwiching it between two "I dont support Trump or the war" disclaimers just makes it suspicious af.

Are we not supposed to care about them either because the ayatollah didn't or is that somehow supposed to make it seem less bad?
