And shops are closed on sundays. It really is time for family and to rest.

Unless you are working.

I could go for that!

To silent for me.

Boring as fvck, then.

This is fine indeed, until those clever bears figure out how to open your car door.

I don't want to live somewhere I am on the menu

🧘‍♀️😌✌️

Japan also. If any persons are being loud, they are tourists.

Some of us in the US have manners as well.

hmmm. I may be Swiss.

Of course you wouldn't talk in a cinema, you're too busy playing games on your phone, right?

I can't fcking believe, that are so arrogant arseholes asking that question.

Where I grew up, there's no formal division of child-rearing chores, and fathers aren't expected to do half of the child-rearing work. Everyone does what needs to be done without formalities.

I know alot of stay at home dads in America . Its all about what works best for your family.

I have noticed this quite a bit in Finland too. I often jog past a playground and a group of dads gather to chat while the kids play together. I have also noticed that dads bring their little toddlers to the swimming hall instead of their mothers. I have not paid attention to it before because it is normal, but only after I realized that it is not like this in the rest of the world.

To me is unbelievable men taking care. Wifes, girlfriends, babies, family.. men just don't take care about any other human being... Not any man I know actually.

I think voting, at least in major elections, should be mandatory everywhere. Fash sympathizers are never the majority, just the most eager to vote. This would solve it.

So why is proving your identity to vote n the states such a racist thing?

Yes, vote with an Id

Germany: we automatically get an invitation card for the upcoming election. We then can either opt for postal election (you can do so by sending in your invitee with the application already on it) or we go in person on election day (a sunday) where we have to show our ID, hand over our invitee and are also crossed out on the list of potential voters. Also, the counting out is public and done by two sets of eyes, you can gowatch if you like

Everywhere voting is mandatory should have the option I Abstain and these should be counted

Over my pudgy chubby flabby dead body

I worked at the car rental center of a major international airport in the US (located directly across from baggage claim) and every now and then I'd walk into the public restroom and see a group of naked guys with their bags open on the floor changing their clothes. Not in stalls, just out in the open. Thought I was in the twilight zone the first time I saw it and quietly backed out of the room Simpsons-style. Gotta love those those Nords!

I'm curious about how judgmental the culture there is about what bodies look like. Will you get shamed for being a little overweight? Do they have the same expectations of perfection as other cultures? Is being human and flawed as normalized as being human and n**e?

As I recall, at this Yrjönkatu sauna, everyone can cool off outside without covering their upper body, regardless of gender. Similarly, on public beaches you can go topless. In the sauna and swimming hall, you see so many different types of bodies and no one pays attention to them. It does wonders for your body image to just be yourself. With your belly, asymmetrical b o o b s, scars and stretch marks.

Don't you dare show a n****e in the U.S. Men lose complete control of them selves.

South of France (not sure if everyone do it but it's rare that they don't), we say "hello, goodbye, have a good day and thank you"

Same in Australia. It's just a courtesy for someone who's driven you somewhere.

In NYC, many people do that, if you exit via the front door and not the rear door. Quite common here.

I thank the bus driver, the flight attendants, and anyone who provides a service to me. It's simply being polite.

I live in Canada and thank all my public drivers regardless of what Country I am traveling in

My dad called them Mexican squirrels (he vacationed in Mexico afe times)

Florida. Been to Orlando once.

In Dominican Republic, we got small lizards locally called "neck jumpers" you can imagine why. There's no winter, so they don't fall, just jump on people. They don't attack, just jump on you & keep going. I think they know we're relatively safe & they can use us as a mid-stop to jump down from trees.
