TikToker @rozeinitaly offered some insights into how her 'perspective has changed after moving abroad.'

In a viral video that has been viewed 1.2 million times, TikToker @rozeinitaly revealed aspects of American culture that she doesn't miss after experiencing life in Italy.

The creator Roze captioned her video:


"A few ways my perspective has changed since moving abroad, maybe some other American immigrants can relate?"

The video is accompanied by the words:

"5 things I'll never do after moving from the USA to Italy."

Roze revealed that—number one—she'll never be in a rush again.

"One of the first things that attracted me to Italian culture is the fact that people don't seem to be in a rush."
"There are no drive-thrus. People don't walk and eat."
"If you need a coffee, you sit down and drink a cup of coffee."
"There's always time for that."

Roze shared that—number two—she will never own a car again.

Due to the walkability of Italy, everything she needs is within walking distance.

She said that she is also happy to be free of the cost of owning a car and not being a contributor to the negative environmental impacts of driving.

"I don't plan on ever living in a place where you need a car to get around."

Roze also said that she refuses to "live for work."

"Now, I'm not saying that people don't work here."
"People work very hard, but there's not as many people who make working hard their whole personality."

On a related note, she shared one can't rely on the internet—as we do in the USA—to find out if a business is open.

"If you look it up on Google Maps, it says that it's open from 10 am to, I think, 7 or 7:30 pm."
"Does that mean I can go there at like 2:30, 3 o'clock?"
"No."
"What is not listed on there is that they are closed from 1 to 4 for lunch."

Finally, Roze shared she doesn't have to "worry about going bankrupt for medical bills" as Italy has universal healthcare.

Nothing seems to get conservatives' goats quite like celebrities having political opinions—well, liberal and leftist celebrities, anyway.

They seem to love it when weird right-wing celebs like Kevin Sorbo get on the internet and say bizarre, usually counterfactual nonsense, or when JK Rowling does her darnedest to make her legacy not about Harry Potter but about her weird obsession with trans people.

Far-right provocateur Ann Coulter is facing fierce criticism after she made a genocidal remark in a now-deleted post on X in response to University of Minnesota professor and Navajo Nation member Melanie Yazzie's speech about colonization.

Yazzie, in a speech at last year's annual Socialism Conference, said "decolonization is the only thing that is going to save us as a species" during a panel hosted by Red Nation, a Native American nonprofit that advocates for Palestinian and Native American rights. She also said that the United States is the "greatest predator empire that has ever existed" and said it should be dismantled.
