I am moving for a promotion. Just a couple hours away, not a huge move. I am remaining in the same state, same relative distance from family. I am leaving the area but I will probably be back down the road. Might be back in six months to a year when my contract ends. Up to God not me. People are acting like it is the end, like I will never see them again. It's really not that far away... At least I don't think so.
For context, I live in WA. For our foreign posters WA State is about half the size of Germany and a third the size of France. Bigger than England but smaller than the sum total of the United Kingdom.
I drive a couple hours every other week to visit my family. Once upon a time a lot of my friends and family made similar drives to visit each other but this seems to have died post covid. Am I a modern outlier, or do people just not travel anymore? Even to visit friends or family? Is this just a byproduct of the Covid lockdown, increased expensiveness of America and anti social nature of this country (the Bowling Alone phenomenon)?
Western Australia is a fuckload bigger than Germany, cunt.
He means Washington state, in the USA
I guess that would make sense if you assumed everyone lived in the USA.
OP mentions the United States by name, draws attention to “WA State” for “foreign posters,” and refers to the essay “Bowling Alone,” which is a famous commentary on the changing civic life in the United States.
I’m sorry you’re too retarded to catch any context clues whatsoever
No worries buddy!
BTW, can you name two states in Australia? Or two provinces in Germany? How about any city in Italy that isn't Rome?
Here is one for you. What does ACT stand for? Remember to work it out with context clues!
