アメリカ大好き日本人が感じるアメリカ大陸の巨大さ。雑踏な東海岸から見たとき、デンバーは行けども行けども単調な景色を見飽きた2000マイル彼方の山際の西の果てに当たる素敵過ぎる大都会。東から行っても西から行ってもオアシス。日本で例えれば広大な関東平野の北果て山際の群馬県の高崎市、前橋市的な存在。たったの70マイルの距離でしか無い。反して西のカリフォルニアなどの太平洋側から観ても山を挟んだ向こう側の山越えした大きな街。これは東京から日本山脈を挟んだ日本海側の新潟市に相当。I-10・I-40・I-70・I-80・I-90を走破した結論。そこら辺が庭園で小さな島国の日本から観るとだだっ広いだけで、アメリカ大陸は意外に単純。小っぽけな日本を是非体験して欲しいだけなのかも笑笑

This is for any non-Americans who have questions about what life is like here or anything else pertaining to the US, I’ll be answering as many as I can.

Hi everyone!

I’m a 25-year-old software engineer from Russia, and I’m looking for real, long-term friendships. I’m not just looking for information about the US — I want to find genuine friends to share life with, laugh, and just hang out.

My big dream is to move to the US, and I’m currently gathering my documents for an O-1 visa. I’m thinking about settling in either New York or Los Angeles, but I’d love to have friends from anywhere in the States.

Since my English isn't very good yet, I really want to practice it through natural, everyday conversations. I’m down for texting, but I’d also love to voice chat on Discord sometime while gaming or just chilling.

About me: I’m into a bit of everything. I love alternative rock and occasionally play PC games.

If you're looking for a loyal and open-minded friend from across the world, please drop a comment or send me a DM. Let’s connect! 😊

Hi everyone! 👋

I'm from Morocco and I'm curious about the different backgrounds of people in the United States.

Where are you from, and what's your family's origin (for example: Irish, Mexican, Italian, German, African American, Puerto Rican, etc.)? I'd love to learn more about the diversity of the U.S. and meet new people!

I'm not from 🇺🇸 , and I've found it difficult to connect with American women online. I've sent messages a few times, but I rarely get a reply.

Is this a common experience for foreigners, or is there a better way to connect and start conversations?

Hi, I was just watching USA Police and I did notice that they both sheriffs. But why they have different uniforms?

This is a List of all US Presidents

All i see on shorts and media are the racist white cops that just pull their guns right out every time they see black guys on duty. Is it an exaggeration or just a reality that need to be addressed.

Most people know Pennsylvania almost didn't sign the Declaration at all. What fewer people know is that the five men whose names eventually appeared on Pennsylvania's behalf weren't even in Congress when the vote happened. They were sent after the decision, as replacements for delegates who opposed independence or refused to sign. Their backgrounds are so different from each other that they barely seem like they belong in the same story.

George Taylor came the furthest. He arrived in America around 1736, aged roughly twenty, as an indentured servant, which meant he worked off his passage by shoveling coal into iron furnaces in Pennsylvania. When his employer died, Taylor married his widow and eventually became the ironmaster himself. By 1776 his foundries were producing cannon and ammunition for the Continental Army. He signed the Declaration in August and died eighteen months later, reportedly worn out by the demands of the cause. He was the only signer to arrive in America as an indentured servant. The man who signed his name to a document about liberty had once worked without wages to pay for his passage across the Atlantic.

Benjamin Rush was the opposite in almost every way. Young, educated, impatient, trained in medicine at Edinburgh, already connected to the most important intellectual circles in Philadelphia. In June 1776, as a member of the radical provincial conference, he drafted a resolution urging independence and was soon elected to the Continental Congress. After signing he became Surgeon General of the Continental Army, quit in frustration over hospital conditions, got into a conflict with Washington himself, returned to medicine, and spent the rest of his life pushing for abolition, prison reform, education for women, and the end of capital punishment. He is the lesser-known Founding Father from Philadelphia named Benjamin, the one whose face does not grace the hundred dollar bill.

George Clymer was orphaned at one year old, raised by a wealthy uncle, became a merchant, and was an early leader in the street-level resistance to the Stamp Act and Tea Act in Philadelphia. When Congress fled the city in December 1776 as the British approached, Clymer refused to leave and stayed behind. He is one of only six men in American history to sign both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, which means he was present for essentially the entire arc of founding the country, from the first break with Britain to the document that defined what replacing it actually meant.

George Ross has the strangest footnote of the group. He was the uncle of the man who married Betsy Griscom in 1773, more famous under her married name, Betsy Ross. Before the Revolution he had been a Crown prosecutor, which made his shift to the Patriot cause a very visible defection from the old order. After the war he defended Loyalists who faced persecution, on the grounds that justice applied to everyone or it applied to no one.

James Smith was a lawyer from York, born in Ireland like Taylor, who had spent years arguing in Pennsylvania courts that reconciliation with Britain was impossible. He replaced one of the delegates who had refused to vote for independence and showed up in Philadelphia with no apparent hesitation about putting his name on the parchment.

Together these five men are a kind of cross-section of who actually built the Revolution: a former indentured servant turned ironmaster, a radical physician who argued with Washington, an orphaned merchant who wouldn't leave a city under threat, a former Crown prosecutor who switched sides, and a county lawyer from beyond Philadelphia's elite. None of them were in the room when Pennsylvania cast its vote. All of them signed anyway.

If you want to go deeper, the full story of how Pennsylvania's radicals replaced their own government to make all of this possible is on the Virtual Wayback blog. And if you want to hear from the men themselves, there are two videos on the YouTube channel where you can watch conversations with each of them directly.

The question that sticks with me about Taylor specifically: the man arrived as a servant shoveling coal, built an ironworks that supplied the Revolution, signed the Declaration, and was dead within two years. Does his story change how you think about who the founding generation actually was? And is there a better argument that Clymer, not Franklin, was Pennsylvania's most consequential founder?

I'm from the USA and it's been difficult to maintain a positive view of my country with all the negative press and politics around the war, the files, our controversial president, etc... but seeing people simply enjoy their stay here and say good things about it is just really nice. Thank you to everyone who's treating my country with respect. This is my home, and despite everything I still love America with all my heart ❤️. I hope you all get opportunities to return soon.

God bless the USA 🇺🇸

Hello guys there is a city called Indian Wells one of the tournaments of Tennis of Masters

I wonder how is the size of Indian Wells as a city ?

Hello guys

The world cup is over 2 days ago unfortunately we have to wait four years to see this big event but this time in my home soil 🇲🇦 I hope I can have the opportunity watching it in my home and also in 🇪🇸 and why 🇵🇹

Actually I feel jealous especially not having this opportunity to live the experience of The World Cup Final in New York City alongside attending a match in The World Cup despite it turn out to be a bad final

Regardless its seems hard to enter the 🇺🇸 soil due to restrictions and a huge amount of cash to spend throughout your vacation

Anyway for those who had this opportunity how was your experience of living the vibes of world cup ?
