I love spectating this criticism of Europe on X. I'm European, but live in NZ and just landed in Netherlands a week ago. While I'm generally very supportive of EU, it is indeed noticeable:

1. iOS asked me to select a default browser, but it wasn't working thus none of the links open for a while.

2. Cookie banners are holy-sheeet. I do see them while in NZ, but holy heck this is next level. They are huge and everywhere.

3. Gemini AI (and its cousin AI summaries in YouTube) is not available. Grok on my mates Tesla - not available (I think it's been out over a year on US).

4. It wasn't even a hot day, but no cooling in Amsterdam trams is insanity.

5. Some shops don't accept foreign cards. Also cards not accepted in red light district at all lol.

Bottle caps haven't bothered me, tiny housing is understandable and biking to places was nice. Workers everywhere seem unhappy and don't seem to be eager to work, but thats likely just local nuance.
