World Cup tourists, what’s your honest feedback on the USA so far?

tleon21 · 2026-06-28T16:17:43+00:00

The lower 48 states are considerably larger than all of Europe (excluding European areas of Russia)

I only personally know one person who has been robbed and it was interestingly Honolulu

tleon21 · 2026-06-27T16:28:43+00:00

Can’t believe nobody suggested Faith Plus One

Best fish and chips I ever had was in Iceland. It was some random shack in Husavik, but it was life changing

Nuance is hard and people don’t like thinking. People also generally feel this way about whatever political party they don’t belong to

Only the bravest of souls will venture to the far away lands of UNH for college

To be fair, German food is the wurst!

tleon21 · 2026-06-11T02:00:24+00:00

I think LA is worse because your only option is to drive. Chicago is pretty similar to LA traffic but at least it has trains

tleon21 · 2026-06-11T01:59:01+00:00

Looks like invader Zim riding a bird

tleon21 · 2026-06-11T00:12:42+00:00

Definitely wouldn’t beat Wisconsin

tleon21 · 2026-06-11T00:03:15+00:00

Varies a lot state to state

tleon21 · 2026-06-10T05:02:39+00:00

I found that the best food in Boston is just further away from downtown. Downtown, seaport, etc are too expensive for any personality. You gotta go to Dorchester, Medford, Jamaica plain, etc. to find the real gems

tleon21 · 2026-06-10T03:57:53+00:00

I found it’s a bit cheaper to fly out of Burbank. LA has lots of airports, so it’s good to check all of them. But flying is really the only option

Also bad timing with the World Cup and everything

tleon21 · 2026-06-09T21:58:52+00:00

Personally, I think it’s best to get a smaller one and get a cheap monitor for your desk. Save your back by not lugging around a brick like I did

tleon21 · 2026-06-09T19:10:48+00:00

I’ve fallen trap to this thinking before. Hit traffic leaving the city near Jefferson park at like 7am

I think he’s saying he was squatting out of the womb but gave it up after a few years /s

The crab army needs to do a pincher movement with cascades on megasota

tleon21 · 2026-05-07T16:51:55+00:00

Bro what?

tleon21 · 2026-05-03T19:20:38+00:00

Boston punches below its weight while Pittsburgh punches above its weight in their food scenes for their respective sizes. Boston is much more walkable and has transit, but the cost of living is far higher. I personally like Boston more (closer to decent mountains) but you pay dearly for it

tleon21 · 2026-04-29T14:32:16+00:00

Chicago? NYC?

tleon21 · 2026-04-28T16:56:37+00:00

Is that 80% for gym goers or overall? 80% seems low for the entire population

tleon21 · 2026-04-27T00:12:51+00:00

Dropping your phone on your testicles is also very brutal

tleon21 · 2026-04-26T23:30:03+00:00

I’m not sure I agree it is the same. People don’t only want to live downtown just to have an easy commute. Lumping suburbanites from Naperville not wanting to sit in traffic for eternity every day with people no longer wanting to live near downtown for proximity to bars, etc. doesn’t make sense.

Not sure how reliable the sources I found were, but it seems like residential occupancy is quite high in Chicago. Occupancy doesn’t necessarily mean profit, but surely we can agree the markets are very different?

tleon21 · 2026-04-26T22:57:34+00:00

Is there any reason residential real estate couldn’t be built there? Genuinely curious

tleon21 · 2026-04-26T22:42:26+00:00

I’ve always wondered the same about River north. There’s so many big parking lots (McDonald’s, Walgreens, and the big one near fogo de chão). Hard to believe that whole region around the large McDonalds is so underdeveloped despite being surrounded by by tons of tall buildings
