Even Jesus said imagining adultery is the same as committing it. They can still think, ergo they are worthy of punishment

Not that this happened, but there absolutely would have been at least one suspicion. Nobody doesn't have an accent of some sort, and he'd have no way of knowing how accurate his pronunciation is all the way from Italy among other Italians. Everyone thinks they sound good til they hear themselves on a recording. His only way out would be to say his family is italian-american but he doesn't know the language very well. He might think of that. He's also on 4chan, though.

However, Americans are highly curious about others as a rule and the women reportedly thought he was at least ok, so someone would have asked where he was from regardless of what he sounded like. And then he would have been stuck playing 20 questions about a randomly chosen region he isn't familiar with and hoping to god whoever he's talking to isn't from there.

And then never discuss the weather or any emotion other than happy.

But then, I don't suppose the other feelings are even a necessity when you're drinking as much and as many types of alcohol as Duolingo seems to think Turkey — a highly-regulated, 98% muslim country — goes through on the daily.

How do you just make the bed with no pillows

I was up at an Airbnb in Boston years ago and I still very much remember one entire third of the bed I was given being covered in different throw pillows. It was bad enough to actually be funny, and more intrusive irl than the photo I had to take would have you believe. Where the photo cuts off is the edge of the mattress.

I had to move them every night in order to go to sleep, and put them back every morning when I made the bed. I counted. There were sixteen of them. Everyone else's beds were the same way.

Yes, I do :(

Lol, I knew someone was going to call me on that.

I'd prefer if it weren't, though

I didn't wanna say, but I've been to Dallas. You have too many lanes to be coming into mine.

Your local area is trees now. Two and a half hours of trees. And a hideous tower thing painted to look like a marlboro cigarette, that people use as a landmark.

Not that I disagree the other commenter kind of...went off the deep end at the end, there. But if your suggestion is not that we take everyone in most of the middle states and shove 'em all together into what would probably come to 3-4 mid-sized American cities — so I guess a medium European one, an event that will absolutely never happen anyway — then your remaining solution to the city density/commute thing must be..to.....increase the density?

Is that what you guys are asking? The only problem with America is that there aren't enough Americans? Especially in Wisconsin?

Boston seemed like that too, when I was there, and I'm still wondering why anyone who lives there bothered to have a car. On the outskirts, yeah, but if you've got business in the heart of Boston specifically, it seems from experience you should just walk.

Thank you for giving me my new default. This party mix of measuring systems sounds way more infuriating to tell people than "about five and a half CDs."

This is how I learned Australia has states. Why the fuck do y'all have states? You're one single island with nothing in the middle! I legit thought Queensland was a county til right now!

Also. Why, in Queensland, is there a place called Texas! I'm going to come over there!
