Do you ?

At a point I was travelling a lot to the US, the only time I heard the national anthem was before a Rodeo in Texas, and I never saw someone reciting the "pledge of allegience

How so ?

Ilegal to walk to to Costco sounds so much non sense to me ? like you can’t go shopping without a car ? Legally speaking ? That makes no sense

Family eating at shooters (and the whole hooters/twin peaks concept)

Need to take the car for a 500m trip because there is no sidewalk and a highway to cross

What’s a story game ?

Alice is missing is a Silent, one shot narrative rpg and would my go to recommendation for casual players

Because broken English from research paper and relatively structured style will be even worse than reddit posts

Social media are basically a replacement for the good old neighbourhood bar where kids used to play flippir/arcade after school, adult got their after work beer and so on.

Then places like sport/art clubs, worker union, political parties are great for socialising.

Finally don’t forget that you can socialise with your neighbour, it also contributes to everyone safety

Might be worth checking !thelyricsgame@lemmy.ca if you like that kind of puns/images/challenges

Out of curiosity is it May be later if I meet a nice artist but bla blabla or it’s gross and disgusting?

Are these a normal things in the US or just a movie thing? Because we didn’t have that

Story time? Seems so crazy

Went to public school, so no uniform, nowadays, even the weird all girl catholic school in my hometown ggot rid of uniform, but some right winger are trying to bring it back in public schools

Block Lemmygrad, hexbear, and may-be even .ml if your instance doesn’t

Don’t browse the c/ starting with politics/worldnews and similar

Keep on relax, cool, communities. places like !foodporn@lemmy.world, !jukebox@sh.itjust.works or even !imageai@sh.itjust.works should be pretty safe compared to !world@lemmy.world

Completely free of desire

Nanannanaa nananana nana freed from desire

Now I have that song stuck in head for the day

Useful for what?

As a kind of joke, look at these senior citizen doing tai chi in the park, while many 80 years old can’t walk without a cane. Looks like pretty useful.

Judo or Aïkido will teach you how to fall, which may save you a visit to the ER if you slip on the street, and pretty useful again.

It’s also a fun way to exercise and stay in shape, so again, it’s useful

This is what brought the pirate bay guys in jail, why the scihub girl is seen as a criminal by the US, and what caused reddit founder Aaron Schwarz suicide

In democratic countries, each candidate/party has the same right to speech during election campaign. So stuff like short clip for each candidates and either multi party debates or second round (where applicable) debate

IMO, the big American bias in heroic fantasy RPG including D&D is how empty (most) settings are. If you travel (nowadays by car) in rural Europe, you’d find village every 5-10km, turns out that people walking to their field don’t like to spend more than 1h commuting. While on some high fantasy map, you have like 3 day of walk through a dangerous forest, or an endless plain without much settlements.

Also it’s worth mentioning that many European major roads/highway have been built at first by the Roman, and have been modernized through history. So again, middle age wasn’t as empty, salvage as many D&D settings. Which indeed looks more like frontier era US.

Getting people to pay for digital media in the era of mass piracy (Spotify, Deezer, Netflix)

Starting a taxi company by ignoring frauding all the regulation related to taxi operation, ( Uber)

Tons of pseudo science like energy therapy which are not much different from straight up witchcraft.

A thought also for real estate developer who buy land in high-flood-risk area, and still manage to sell the houses, these ones also should be in jail

Randomly drawing citizen. Sure politics require some training, but it can be done on the job

Also, countries with proportional votes tend to force politicians to talk with each other more than countries with single representative per district.

Limiting elected official mandates to one or two. If you couldn’t do something in 10 years no reason to think you’ll do it latter

A quick search tell me that in Belgium the minimal wage is 2000€ sauce before tax.

So yes one million is above a lifetime of work for many persons, definitely rich
