Commas are for separating thousands, periods are decimal points. Stop trying to be unique, you're not.

It's not just the US that has bland restaurants and/or is afraid of spice.

I've been to restaurants in the Czech Republic, Germany, Poland, Austria, and Bulgaria.

I'm sure there are places that spice things up more and some of the restaurants were really good, but some were also some of the most bland food I've had at a restaurant.

It's the same thing in the US; there are places that won't put any spice on and there are places that will leave you crying the food is so hot and everything in-between.

Also every "Mexican" food dish I've had in Europe has just been bad. Y'all are doing it wrong.

Spicy food does not mean good food or more interesting food, eastern European food is almost never spicy but it's almost always really good and hardly bland as most westerners would cower in fear at the sight of some marinated fish or some such.

The sound from my portable bluetooth speaker. But that's mostly because it's a shitty speaker and you can barely hear it when it's sitting 3 feet away let alone when there's at minimum an ocean between you and it.

Apparently soccer is offensive even though I grew up in AYSO. i got in the habit of calling them association football and gridiron football, respectively.

I thought the corruption of the leagues and the fanatcism of the US is bad and scary. Then I learned about FIFA. i had no idea.

European racism is out of control to the point of cringe. The new world cannot hold a candle to you.

Here is a quick example. Netflix released a Norwegian movie called "Christmas as Usual" (translated). It essentially takes the concept of the American 1967 film "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner", moves it to Norway and gives it a holiday twist. According to Netflix, this 2023 film was in the Top 10 in thirty countries. How? How is a movie concept from America's peak civil rights battles era working for you in 2023?

My wife is European and my largest clients are European with European staff and the abundance of casual racism is hard for myself and my staff to handle. Don't get me started on my family in-law.

EDIT: Europeans were definitely not ready to hear this one. LOL

Youtube always shows off all the progressive and positive aspects of Europe. Bike lanes, relable trains. Was so jealous. Then heard that my game buddy is off to manditory milatary service.

The idea that the government can take away a year of your life, and thats normal is still a tough pill to swallow.

Do you think Europe is one country?
