Aside from London (where I didn’t really talk to anyone but my sister who lives there), I spent 2 weeks traveling solo by train around England, staying in Bath, Shrewsbury, York and Scarborough and visiting some of the surrounding towns and villages. I’m sure it helped that it’s a country where I have a good grasp of the local language unlike, say, Italy, where I could barely make myself understood. But I had lots of random friendly conversations with strangers in the UK and no negative experiences at all. Way more friendly than the average German for sure.

Big-city people are generally less friendly, so I do believe you that it’s a different matter for London. It’s the same for e.g. Tokyo, where people are way more cold than in the rest of Japan. And I guess you get a different perspective as a local than as a visitor. Several people in this thread have mentioned Germany, which does surprise me as a German.

Japan, China and the UK were the friendliest I’ve been so far. I’m German.

No, it’s obviously the Matrix out to get you. /s

You asked a bad faith question, using a derogatory slur no less.

For me it would probably be Denmark. Generally speaking, Danish people seem more laid-back. Great cycling infrastructure. Access to the sea. Good climate.

Funny you’d say that, as we actually get what we call “Nosferatu spiders” in Germany quite often in our house. I don’t really mind them though, the occasional mosquito is much more annoying. We have nets on some of the windows though.

Basically keeping all the windows open through the night and closing them in the morning. I also sleep upstairs directly below the roof during the colder months, but move to the ground floor in summer, where it gets much less hot.

I think everyone should get banned from X. Consider yourself lucky to be rid of the site.

But also, yes, I think your ban would have been justified on any other platform as well.

Aside from being a military dictatorship in a civil war, I know that it has some very beautiful buddhist temples.

40 hours but actually less than that when you exclude activities like getting coffee or answering questions on AskLemmy. Software development.
