Amerikas Forenede Stater?

But yeah, it's too long, we usually call it USA. Although we pronounce the letters in the local way.

I spent a few minutes researching this, and I still have no idea what the problem is. Or any motivation to keep researching.

Honestly, I might be part of the problem. I'm a white guy, and there are basically no black people in my life. I don't see any in the streets, at work, at home or here. Especially here, I have no idea who anyone is.

Basically, I have no reason to get involved. However, I don't want to be part of the problem. So if you spoonfeed me information I can use to make life better for "the blackness" (I'm very confused about the terminology), I will happily read it and try to remember it.

So don't just tell me the solution, none of the TLDR makes any sense to me. Spend a few words on the problem.

As far as I can tell, there's basically two kinds of people:

1 - People who just don't care about other people in the Fediverse. They will not read any of this, there's nothing you can write here that will change anything for them.

2 - People who are trying to be nice, but don't always succeed. They will listen to advice, but nothing will change by telling them to be nice, be less racist, or to listen to people even if they are black. That's what they are already trying to do.

I live in Denmark, here the chargers are placed where people park anyway. Grocery stores, parking lots, rest stops...

It's getting so easy to find a fast charger/resto combo, that we don't even plan it from home.

I've seen few 200+ watts chargers without looking for them, but the car is ready faster than I am anyway.

When I was in Denmark I was shocked how many cameras there were, everywhere. I mean not just in the city, but everywhere on the countrywide.

I've lived in Denmark for decades. The only cameras I see are basically surveillance cameras in stores etc and speed cameras. I see more cameras in most other countries I go to.

We have nothing compared to fx. London.

Where did you see cameras?

Denmark is one of those weird countries where its illegal to have your map software tell you where the speed cameras are.

That's not correct. You can even buy gadgets for this in many stores.

If it's "just a phone", it's not running Android. No Android that I ever heard of is "just a phone".

The cops aren't going to sit there and wait for the person to start shooting at them.

That's what they do in countries where non-criminals aren't afraid of the police, and they seem to do much better both in terms of staying safe and keeping the citizens safe.

I live in Denmark, Europe. One Bic Mac meal is 9.39 USD incl taxes.

The minimum salary in McDonals is around 3500 USD per month for a standard 37 hr/week, including pension.

This is every month, not affected by holidays, sick leave, paid vacation... It comes with 5 or 6 weeks of paid vacation per year, and virtually unlimited sick leave.

Yeah, I also don't understand why McDonald's says they can't raise salaries or improve working conditions, because it will make the price go up. So why is it expensive now?

(Yes, taxes are high here. But we also have a lot of stuff that is tax paid, that evens it out somewhat.)

Are you seriously saying that the customer who pays full price and no more is "a piece of shit", and not management who chooses to underpay the staff?

I'm not having any of that. I'd rather just not eat out. Enjoy no tip AND one less customer.

I'll pay extra when I get extra. I paid over 150% yesterday. I've given big tips for free services. People sometimes give my cash tip back assuming I accidentally gave them 10x my intention. But not when it's a simple transaction when I get what I ordered and I'm paying the advertised price.

Yep, the included feet are just something you might be able to use until you get a real mount.

If you really want the TV to stand on furniture, buy a proper vesa mounted stand (they can be very cheap) and maybe even a proper TV table.

Wow, US really is different. Here, if you don't have a contract, you don't have a job. Don't even show up for work before you have a signed contract.

Where do you live, where taking breakes is frowned upon? That's crazy.

Here in Denmark, I'm being reminded to take breakes and go home. I have been asked if I'm sure it's not hurting my work/life balance, before getting overtime approved.

It's also common to stay at work after hours to hang out, if there's a nice place to do that.

There's two kinds of money: Enough money, and more than enough money.

If you don't have enough money, that's all that matters. A nicer day at work means very little.

Once you have enough money, more money matters very little. Now it's about enjoying work etc.
