        Yeah, living in a country you can travel from border to border on a train in 12 hours has some benefits to it

          If it’s germany, if one of you lives in the north and the other in the south, it’s cheaper to fly to Mallorca and meet there.

      No, it’s about 2 people talking online, and there’s some 5 billion dish machines distance between them making the travel difficult or expensive

      My thought was that it’s an obscure joke about the two Washingtons in the USA. Like, the state in the north-west corner is called “Washington” and then there’s the capital city of the USA on the east coast, called “Washington, D.C.”.

      But Washington, D.C., is further south from where the person is placed, so I’m guessing not…

      They’re both in coastal states that aren’t in the southeast, so odds are they’re both blue.

    Pfft I’m in the us and mine was in Australia. That shit lasted longer than some of our IRL relationships.

      Careful with the distance ones. A girl I worked with left her spouse and took her kids to AUS to be with her dream partner; who only forgot to disclose the fact that he was a high level drug dealer. Sometimes you miss out on important details like that, so just be careful.

        How do you make it work? I’ve been in a few but after a while the heartache from missing them gets unbearable.

          It certainly needs a special type of person I think. We are both very independent people for example and we value alone-times.
          It helps that we have a common interest that can be shared via the distance: Playing videogames and watching shows like Star Trek together.

    These people are mad that it takes a whole day to visit someone in the middle of nowhere. These are clearly children that can’t afford anything or agitators, #DontFeedBears
