I’m just back from your country and brought back a $2 coin with his face on it, just found it funny.

The trick is to just keep taking more crack continuously, then everything is better all the time.

I tend to sit down to pee most times (at home), so that ratio is even higher for us…

I only know of one country worth talking about without universal healthcare, so the rest of us can and should discuss other aspects of this question.

Yep I’m not well versed in the situation there, but I know for example with European countries it generally works out in our favour (as Europeans). That said, it still doesn’t account for the very real human cost of having to live in the US 😅

That says nothing about standard of living though, if those 50k are all going to highly priced health insurance, rent, and groceries, then you might be better off on the Korean salary.

Been looking for the link but kind of immediately regretted watching that jesus fuck that’s a lot of blood.

It’s a real thing, road design has an inherent “natural speed” where most drivers feel comfortable, not too quick, not too slow. In the Netherlands if you get a speeding ticket there is a chance that you can successfully argue in court that the road design invited you to drive faster and get the fine annuled. When that happens the government will ask the company responsible for that bit of road to add traffic calming measures like bumps, or obstacles you have to go around that slow you down. Highways are an exception though.

As an addon, those private companies responsible for the roads have to abide by certain design philosophies made by the government, and they are legally responsible for the safety of the roads, if someone dies and it’s found to be due to the road design, or its state of maintenance for example, they can be charged massive sums of money.

Ah yes I can see where you’re coming from, for me they are automatically classified as very different because one is sweet and one is savoury…

I deserve the meme though, well played.

Is this real?

I disagree about them being equivalent, they’re completely different? But I have no strong feelings about which is better.

“in any country” took it too far, since there’s places where you can basically buy a house outright for that amount. “Western/first world” wouldn’t even cover it I don’t think, with Italy and eastern Europe being a thing. Even in my very expensive western European country our mortgage isn’t that much higher than that (we kinda lucked out), but of course once you account for all real expenses it is.

Are you the OG poem-sprog from Reddit? If so you gave me a poem back in the days, can’t remember what it was about anymore I’d have to dig it out, but I certainly remember it happening. Hi!

You’d definitely want to zoom in for that anyway unless you’re working on a huge screen and looking at it upclose. I’m literally a pro lol.

Yes, I fully agree with the point about remembering 9/11 as a millennial, and wasn’t commenting about that, I just disagree about the one where you said generational terms are a US-only thing :)

And yes, we use the English term for baby boom, it’s a loan word, just like you say “croissant” (or at least, attempt to, haha).

I don’t agree with this at all to be honest. I’m French, and the baby boom was very much a thing there. The term might have been coined in the US but the demographics events behind it very much happened in much of Europe post-WW2, and for example my parents referred to themselves as such long before we started having a shared online global culture. As for millennials, I’m pretty sure the entire world changed millennium at the same time, why would only Americans be allowed to use the very obvious term?

Yeah I remember the meetups and I see there’s a mention of a military base as “most addicted” place, but not sure that’s what the other comment was talking about.

When was that? I don’t remember that at all and I was on Reddit for like 10 years before moving here.

I’ll let you know I’m passable at rocket league, after a decade playing it, thank you very much.

I wanted to love the original, I did love the style and the gameplay, but the hardcore mechanics were just too much for me, they need to give us a “I have a job and a family” mode lmao.
