USUAL in your country but NOT anywhere else.

It's absolutely acceptable to go to a university lecture at 8 am, and sit in the front row with a beer. The professors won't mind. You can buy beer in the cafeteria as well as in a vending machine at the library.
Pulling out a bottle of hard liquor is frowned upon tho.
Germany ?

Yeah I was just joking. Although seeing that Canada has a ton of guns and not nearly the same issues means that it's gonna take some doing to fix the problems of the US. Who knows, maybe if we ever get decent mental health care and stop people from being wage slaves with vast wealth inequality it'll go a long way to fixing things.

Germany ?
Yes. Bavaria specifically.

On a brighter note, apparently our casual friendliness with strangers is unusual elsewhere. So we've got that going for us, which is nice
French here: had to work with an American girl who was doing her internship in my company: absolutely. Same for an English teacher at my university during my studies: very nice. Americans people are very friendly and nice people.

Heh, that's real nice how beer is normalized there.

I mean, it's fun and all for a while, until you realize that 8/10 people have developed a moderate to severe drinking problem by the age of 25.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I’ve had fish and chips in both the U.K. and the U.S. No offense to the Brits, but it’s better in the U.S., because they use this thing called “seasoning.” The only thing I prefer about the U.K. version is the paper cone the chips come in.

I miss the ink flavor from when they used to be wrapped in newspaper.

Easy: school shootings, together with politician denial about the causes of this, guns, and lack of regulation for who owns them, make owning guns easier than getting a driver's license.
Super sad, but here we are.
Oooh! I know this one! Pick me!!! is it.... Singapore??

Are you calling non tippers the assholes, and not the business owners or practice of tipping in general? Tipping is out of control and a stupid obligation as it is currently being used.
Little bit of each. It's a bit of a catch 22 situation. The tipping system enables low wages. The traditional response to a bad system is to try to not participate. But then the underpaid waitstaff are paid worse until the system is changed, and unless a critical mass is reached, no change will happen anyway, so refusing to pay a tip in order to help the staff long-term hurts the staff short-term, and can only be said to be enough to make a change if it's really hurting them. It sucks as a whole situation.

That's a lot of thanks. It's in a highly populated city.
Not a lot but only once
