I miss those, when I was small we had a local store that did that for all meat products. You just said X amount of bacon. Instead of buying a million separately packaged packs that barely last 1 family breakfast. Or well, going out of my way to hit up lidl, because they’re like the only ones selling bigger packs.

Now don’t get me wrong, butcher counters still exist, but they’re rare and many are expensive hipster shit.

Now that’s some free thinking folks right there doing some good old fashioned democracy if I’ve ever seen some. /s

Pushes glasses Well, actually, they’re sitting. Nay, maybe even laying??? IN BED?!? HOLDING HANDS!!! >:0 /s

Publicity traded, AKA shareholders leverage the company to make return on their investment and this company also receives public money just for the hell of it? Wow, what a combination. Totally not a setup for major exploitation.

We even got GIF! Now that it’s starting to show its age.

Aye, we also have plenty of stupid assholes. But so far we mostly only import the superficial stuff like huge pickups that don’t fit anywhere. Most people have no idea what life in America is actually like and American daily life is thankfully far removed. Like in the example of the subject at hand. Kids walking and taking public transit to school is a common widespread practice anywhere I went and lived, nobody ever would consider someone NOT DRIVING a strange sight that needs investigating.

As much as I love to hate on apple, any of this format shit is 100% Windows bullshit. It’s not just pictures, with shit like webm, or some random video codecs it’ll ask you to FUCKING BUY! But even shit like Windows only supporting some like 3 file formats from the god knows how many out there. Ever since I switched to Linux (heck, even fucking MacOS would do better) all this stopped being an issue. Fuck windows for literally only supporting their special selection of formats. There’s a good reason why the first step of many people installing windows is also Installing VLC or MUCH superior image viewers. Because Microsoft chooses to not support most things out there!

I’ll belive it when I see it.

2002 here, we still had such a TV. For quite a while actually, since we never upgraded and just started using phones and computers instead. It became my console monitor.

asserted current exceptions suffice

Women dying like almost every week, because of refused healthcare? Nah… Definitely not a thing. /s

The American prison system is designed to make money. Prisons get paid based on how many people they house. Making sure people don’t wind up in prison is literally the last thing the warden wants to do. Anybody thinking America is gonna change it’s ways out of the goodness of its heart is fucking delusional.

Edit: As roscoe comments below, I’m a bit stupid, tho I still feel like the logic used in the latter part is a bit faulty. The following is the original bullshit I wrote.

Lol, that’s some serious “I’m not a fascist” cope. Really? If you want people to debate you over why slavery is bad, you’re part of the problem, or like really young, which I’m hopefully doubtful of. It’s like me pointing a gun to your head, asking why I shouldn’t shoot you and then pulling the trigger because instead of making a sound argument, you just got mad at me.

I don’t really see the difference, considering he can just lock anybody who opposes him up. People are already bending over for him out of fear, people that used to be critical of him. Challenging him will take some serious balls facing a suicide mission.

Reminds me of the American mindset of always making something FIRST, THE BEST or THE BIGGEST! Nothing can ever just be nice or comfortable. It can never be “Know the thing next town? Yea we did that here!”, it’s always “Know the thing next town? Yea we wiped the floor with em! Come to us!”. Needless to say, my visit to the states was quite tiring after a while.

There are plenty of good mobile games, the problem is none of em get promoted on Google Play, finding em is like a fucking treasure hunt.

Nice! Would be funny if companies were fined by how much of their shit made it there.

Hehe, no offense to my gf, but yea, it do be like that.

Imagine getting jailed unless you ground your kids 24/7. Pretty sure that used to be a punishment for kids, not a requirement.

I know this is probably not possible if I still wish to use English online, but does anybody know how to filter out news specifically form America? It’s becoming less and less relevant to my life as America is becoming more and more like Russia. It’s like yea, I know, the people are literal fascists, any additional details are just depressing.

Lol, back when I was a kid, getting grounded was a punishment. Not a legally binding rule parents must enforce at home at all times. Lol, America is fucked.

OMFG I KNOW RIGHT!?! XD
