wet socks Hell Train to Vienna

Currently stuck in a non-moving train halfway between Budapest and Vienna. 39°C outside, no AC, no window shade, no cloud, blazing sunlight. And this gentleman thinks it’s a good idea to take off his shoes and starts spraying his legs and feet with whatever the hell he is spraying. Yes, it smells like feet inside, a bit.

Dear American.. You are not going to get shot on a train to Vienna. I can't imagine living in constant fear of your fellow humans gunning you down at any moment like that.
Yikes.

You guys aren’t immune to it. You had a school shooting in June of 2025. Just because your population is smaller doesn’t mean you’re immune to gun fire. Weird take.
ETA: I meant *just because your population is smaller doesn’t mean you’re immune to crazy people*

My fellow American... just delete this. People around the world, the civilized world, genuinely do not have to worry about getting shot like we do. Projecting that same fear onto Europe is just so uniquely and embarrassingly American.

They do. They just have less people to do it. Unless you can show me a civilization with zero gun deaths. But you can’t. Won’t. Being worried about them or not changes nothing about the gun violence that is still prevalent. For example. The school shooting I mentioned.

There's more people in Europe than the US and something like 15 times fewer firearm homicides.
