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.

Here's another one for you: 'played a major factor in'. Not strictly correct grammatically. A better phrase would've been, "played a major role in".

Two weeks, huh? The US is around 3,000 miles from coast to coast, so that puts him over 200 miles skateboarding every single day... I'm not sure, but the person who didn't know mountains exist might be dumb.
Just go faster. I don't get it.
Paint the skateboard red if you have to.
Add a stripe. Maybe some speed holes.
he should have invest in a big red firework like the coyote

200miles/8hours of skating straight means an average speed of 25 miles an hour.
Ambitious, considering the average speed of a skateboarder is closer to 10 miles an hour, but it could be possible if he was extremely fit, had unbreakable bones, and the US was a flat plane for 3000 miles like this guy thought.

One change of clothes for a 2-week trip... now that's a man's man!
I mean it's not extremely far off compared to Ultralight hiking, you can still be hygienic (like often washing clothes), of course though you're not winning parfume contests along the way... It's a tradeoff to make compared to having a lot of uncomfortable weight to carry around.

Almost certain they were playing it up and this is satire, sorry to spoil everyone’s fun. https://www.instagram.com/jaayfilms They started again on September 30 this year and are now in Missouri. If these content creators are good at one thing it’s creating a compelling narrative and this guy did it by getting himself called illiterate.
Oh shit, he’s in the home state of illiteracy now

I met a guy like that in the 90's except he was on a lot of LSD and was making his way around the world. IDK if that was true but my buddy picked him up one night and we had a party with him and he cut his dreads off and burned them so a witch wouldn't get them. Good times!

How does he use IG?
Assuming its not a parody.
You'd be surprised how functional the illiterate can be.
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.

Does he have learning disabilities? How does someone with so much motivation not learn to read
Most likely functionally illiterate and not 100% "I can't read," but I've overestimated instagrammers before

It is easy to have motivation to skateboard across america when you don't have enough education to understand what doing that means.

Well, if you're following him, did you bring more clothes? Maybe you can lend him some.
Cant seem to find this dude on ig, there are just too many that tried to cross the usa with a board.
Does someone have a link to this specific persons ig? That would be great, thanks.
