What does that have to do with anything? Or is it just a "haha America bad"?

If there was a functioning public transport, they could just, you know, meet.

You realize that distance is 4,700km, the distance between Lisbon and Moscow. It takes 3 days by train without a stopover. Public transportation doesn't make meetings any easier.

Yes, and I've personally taken three-day same-country trains before, back when it was the cheaper option. And guess what, non-private planes are also public transport.

Wait, so your "the joke is your public transport" comment is with the impression the US doesn't have planes? I still have no idea what the hell you were trying to say

[–] monk@lemmy.unboiled.info 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Nope, that was about trains. Planes came up later.

Ah, you're a troll, that makes more sense. At least, I sincerely hope you are, because the alternative is concerning

What's so concerning about the alternative?
