Micro cosmology is a problem a majority of Americans live with. If they can’t see it from their front porch it don’t exist. That played a major factor in the current shitshow preloading in d.c.
Preloading
Lol
Here’s another one for you: ‘played a major factor in’. Not strictly correct grammatically. A better phrase would’ve been, “played a major role in”.
If one prefers to keep “factor” instead of ‘played", than there is always the option, "was a major factor’
This is painfully accurate.
Two weeks, huh? The US is around 3,000 miles from coast to coast, so that puts him over 200 miles skateboarding every single day… I’m not sure, but the person who didn’t know mountains exist might be dumb.
200miles/8hours of skating straight means an average speed of 25 miles an hour.
Ambitious, considering the average speed of a skateboarder is closer to 10 miles an hour, but it could be possible if he was extremely fit, had unbreakable bones, and the US was a flat plane for 3000 miles like this guy thought.
Fun fact: mountains are big.
What about small mountains tho
You keep your mouth shut
Aren’t those hills tho

One change of clothes for a 2-week trip… now that’s a man’s man!
I mean it’s not extremely far off compared to Ultralight hiking, you can still be hygienic (like often washing clothes), of course though you’re not winning parfume contests along the way… It’s a tradeoff to make compared to having a lot of uncomfortable weight to carry around.
Does he carry a Texas sized bottle of French cologne?
I don’t want to be his room mate.
French cologne, my ass! He wears WAAAAAAY to much Axe Body Spray like a patriotic American bro who doesn’t understand geography should.
Axe Body Spray. Guaranteed.
How does he use IG?
Assuming its not a parody.
Using a screen reader
Does he have learning disabilities? How does someone with so much motivation not learn to read
Most likely functionally illiterate and not 100% “I can’t read,” but I’ve overestimated instagrammers before
It is easy to have motivation to skateboard across america when you don’t have enough education to understand what doing that means.

Idunno anything about this guy, but for some folks they just weren’t taught early enough. You can learn to read at any age, but no amount of motivation can match an early education
See the great historical documentary ‘Forrest Gump’.
Spelling (in non phonetic languages) has nothing to do with intelligence levels - it is all to do with memory and exposure. Perhaps he never went to school, or the level of education was pathetic… or he is incredibly dyslexic. Sorry if this answer sounds harsh but I’m pissed-off at what you wrote. I know of at least one illiterate person who stands head and shoulders above the “college kids” around them. They were such an integral part of our team that were bought them speech-to-text / text-to-speech software to keep their job.
That’s why I didn’t say he was stupid. I asked if he had a learning disability which is not a taboo thing and it doesn’t mean you’re stupid. If anything I complimented him on his motivation and determination. You were just out to find something to get mad and offended over so you interjected that into my comment, even though I didn’t say that. I see that happening a lot lately with Americans. They all wanna be offended so they can moralize
Whoa there, horsey. I was making a general opening statement - not a rebuttal to a sentence you never wrote. In another reply I went into a little more detail. My main point was that if it wasn’t because of a learning difficulty then simply “motivation” isn’t always enough. A lack of facilities ( No libraries, no literate family members, no internet connection, inadequate education etc. ) could be a factor.
On a side note, do not ever accuse me of being a septic again. There’s literally dozens of people on the internet that aren’t USian - but I understand it’s much easier to throw labels on people who don’t pander to your every post.
Well, if you’re following him, did you bring more clothes? Maybe you can lend him some.
That voter is gonna learn some stuff.
I was not surprised by the presence of a giant cross necklace.
That guys vote counts the same as yours. Just saying.
The idea behind wisdom of the crowd is that the people who don’t know the answer cancel each other out. It’s the reason why the audience joker on who wants to be a millionaire is so powerful.
This might not be true. Depending on where you live, your vote could be worth about 0.8th of what this guys vote is worth
Casper and Cheyenne Wyoming have the 75k most powerful voters in the country.
They control the same number of US Senators as the world’s 5th largest economy.
The fact that 75k can filibuster 40m is the peak of absurdity.
Devil’s advocate. We should only let a select few who we deem as intelligent to vote for us?
Such a shame. We ought to implement some type of criteria based on reading and comprehension skills that allows you to vote.
A literacy test, if you will.
How many skateboard wheels are needed for a 3000 mile trip?
Not many sites seem to deal in distance when talking about replacing skateboard wheels, but I was able to find this:
https://skateboardscan.com/skateboard-wheels-last/
So according to that he’d need 10-30 sets of skateboard wheels to cross the country.
Of course if you’re just riding on the side of highways in a straight line forever you could probably get a little more out of them since you’re not doing any precision work or tricks.
You don’t know if he’s maybe Nollie Kickflipping the whole way.
How is he planning on getting back?
Also, won’t his wheels wear out?
If someone thought it would take two weeks there would be no concern about wheels wearing out. They also wouldn’t have the planning skills for a way home, becsuse how far could that be?
I’m assuming it is a parody account.
Lol, what a country
cmon whats his name
You won’t believe it;
Albert Einstein.
I know it says LA in the image, but are we sure he wasn’t actually from Night Vale?
Is this not the hatchet wielding hitchhiker guy?
