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.

You'd be surprised how functional the illiterate can be.

Yeah, just look at Trump. Functional illiteracy is a real thing in the US.

When I first moved to Japan, I had to use lots of websites that used untranslatable images (not text, like png or whatever and google lens was not a thing). I got help a few times and memorized what clicking on an area did more than even what the image was (which would change sometimes). This is how I got by with ATMs and various websites for quite a while. It works until something changes. Today, screen readers, google lens, and other things exist to help as well.

Which day is he realizing the Rockies exist?

If he ever decides to try to find a way around the Rockies this will become even more interesting

Rob Thomson skated across the US starting in 2006. Also from Switzerland to China.
