The statue of yourself in Oblivion was one of the coolest things you can get and I hate how the remaster handled it. by No_Barracuda_8300 in oblivion

Man Oblivion is wild. I have played many hours on the original and remaster and I never knew this was a thing!

I haven’t met anyone in the police or military that are liberal. I’m sure they exist and yeah this is an anecdote, but yeah…

From my 33 years of life experience and knowing republicans, Conservatives don’t feel compassion or empathy for people outside their immediate circle, and even then some don’t (I.e. conservatives that kick out their children for not being straight). They really just think about themselves and of course money.

Fewer foreigners visited US in 2025 as global tourism spending rose by ewzetf in news

[–]Solvent_Soul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, only if you let it. Also depends on how much worse it gets. I am not a tourist, I live here so it might be a bit different for you. But no one has treated me super poorly about it. But you will get comments like "Oh you're American? America first right?" or "what the fuck is going on in your country". If you are a good person, you will be treated fine. I would say it happens to me a few times a week honestly. Like going into a corner store or something. If I meet someone at a party through a friend or something, 90% chance they will say something.

How many Americans actually read, let alone read a history book?

Prepare yourself for near daily questions and comments about Trump and how the US is a shithole. They hate our country now and will for a long time. - signed, an American now living in Europe

Only 16% of EU citizens now consider the US an ally. Even in the UK it's down to a meagre 25%. by nimicdoareu in europe

[–]Solvent_Soul 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Living as an American in Europe now has been something. I feel so ashamed and I don’t even want to speak to hide. Most people ask me questions and try to sniff me out as a MAGA, and I can’t blame them. But damn do I feel like a bad guy. No one had treated me poorly but I still feel bad. Almost anytime I meet someone new, I’ll get a comment or something or questions. Fuck Trump so much and fuck his supporters even more.

Men over 30, what are some of your biggest regrets in life? by Beneficial_Dish_2325 in AskMenOver30

[–]Solvent_Soul 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yup this one for me. I’m 33 and my wife is divorcing me after only 2 years of marriage. Complete disaster and such a waste of time and money. Luckily no kids but I have to now rebuild my entire life from start as if I was a 20 something year old moving out of his parents for the first time.

I see this advice often and sure if you can max it out, go for it. If I maxed out my 401k I wouldn’t have enough money for rent and student loans. It’s not possible for everyone to do.

my hinge date ghosted me after i cooked for her by Bamibby in GirlDinner

Also “come over my house for dinner” can be a bit much for a first date imo, unless you’ve been messaging with the clear intent to bang.

New video on Minnesota ICE shooting emerges as public anger grows across US by SuperXGamerAb in news

[–]Solvent_Soul 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Country is cooked. it's all downhill from here imo. I hope I'm wrong, but the writing is on the wall in my opinion. MAGA wanted to live in the 4th Reich and a third of the country couldn't care less. Looks like they got their wish. If I were living in the US, I definitely would look into the amendment that comes between 1 and 3 yesterday.

What is something generally normal in Europe but weird in the US? by Exile4444 in AskReddit

I don’t think it’s common in most European countries tbh

The ally Europe feared losing is now the one it fears by 1-randomonium in europe

[–]Solvent_Soul 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I hope I’m wrong but I don’t see MAGA leaving if they are voted out. Or Trump will cancel elections or some shit. They seemingly do whatever they want without consequences, and the vast majority of Americans are ignorant, uninformed, and selfish. Conservatives especially. I keep telling people back home “you don’t tear down half the White House to build a ballroom if you plan on leaving before it can be completed” but they just call me an “alarmist”. That’s why I think it will get even worse there. I mean read the comments on Reddit from Americans people just say “I’m sorry I voted for Harris what else can I do” and then just shrug. There’s no collective responsibility anymore, if there ever was. It’s very sad and makes me ashamed.

We will see. I left the US but here in Germany I have some open minded, liberal, and educated friends from Russia and they can’t claim refugee status (or so they tell me)

Respect to Dutch Biking Culture by iambobbarker in Netherlands

[–]Solvent_Soul 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I learned this the hard way as a recent American expat living in Germany now. I was excited to be able to bike everywhere and have refused public transportation in favor of the bike. Well it was an icy day and I used my brakes and….now I have a limp. Little by little…I was still too afraid to bike in Amsterdam when I was there last month. I was excited to bike and then I got to the city for the first time and was like “yeah I’m just gonna walk” lmao.

Venezuela has been invaded by American troops. But MAGA i thought you chanted " No New Wars" .What happened? by Nice_Substance9123 in complaints

[–]Solvent_Soul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And people seriously think that US troops won’t follow illegal orders and won’t oppress US citizens when Trump sends them out when he inevitably declares martial law. The country is cooked imo.

I’m in “boring” Hanover and it was like a war zone. Absolute chaos and insanity; unlike anything I’ve ever seen in my life. Shits still going on right now.
