At least I assume that's why I was watched in some stores, usually corner stores. It stopped in my early 20's.

Oh and the older I got the more I was profiled at car dealerships. Being a middle aged white man I have no trouble in the slightest getting the attention of a car salesman, in fact I don't even need to look for them as they seem to seek me out as soon as I show up on the lot.
oh, yeah, sad, they just assume you have money. Even if true or not. Have heard that before, that they will just ignore many people

When the governor of MN banned smoking in bars there was a LOT of fights going on outside. From the Twin Cities to the Mayburys, big spike in violence on the streets and sidewalks. In front of and behind bars.
It was an epidemic. The media covered it up mostly.
i think in mich it might still be legal in bars, unsure. So you def didn't agree with the Minn. , one?

So, is that another way of saying... "I'm allowed to consume, but you're not"?

Well, a few countries have a declining birthrate, but they also still have a declining death rate, and therefore a growing population.

To say nothing of the countries with a booming birthrate, resulting in a net world increase...

You just gotta look at somewhere like Birmingham. I considered living there at one point, but on a visit I realised exactly how bad the city centre was when compared to somewhere like Manchester.

But on your point - that's basically the whole of the USA. When you stop and ask for directions, they immediately start talking about stoplights - they simply can't fathom that you might actually be on foot.

Then you have something like the Vegas strip, completely impossible to cross something like that. I once remember in Lake Tahoe, trying to cross what was basically motorway, and the pedestrian light having a 10-second countdown to cross something like 6 lanes, lol.

I think round here sone of them are German. Ironic that they're nowhere near as punctual as actual German trains

All along I've been thinking you're Dutch, now I'm realising that you're probably not...

Yeah, more or less, apart from in the south, busses are just for poor people.

Just "unemployed" though? That's just false spin.

Per gov figures published in Dec 2023, "in 2022, 22% of working age people in England, Scotland and Wales were economically inactive".

In other words, 9,278,000 people. Last month. Not including children and pensioners.
You're in UK, you like it there? Think you'd like living in u.s. a lot more?

not quite, HBO is still a thing. Its old streaming platform was called HBO Max and its currently on the streaming service called Max, its still just HBO. Even when the streaming service was HBO Max, there were shows that were exclusive to Max and were never shown on an actual HBO cable channel.

very easy to confuse though, WB really tanked the HBO brand in recent years by associating it with Max and all the bs shows like thousand pound sisters on that service.
What show was thousand pound sisters?
