New York City is the only city in America (or maybe the world) where people are expected to have a general understanding of the geography in casual conversation.

  • In Eastern Europe even the most illiterate citizen of a town/city knows the neighborhoods and where they are in relation to one another, if that's what you're asking.

    • What keeps you going every day?

    • Should we stop splitting sports by gender and just let everybody compete together?

  • As the shortest person in most Basketball games during my childhood, I would have loved this so much! I enjoyed the game very much, but I always had to work twice as hard as my taller friends.

    • Are the straights okay rule

    Jump

  • Depends on the part of the world you live in. I'm that age and coworkers (!) constantly joke about having to find me a wife and find it a bit odd that I'm not even in a long-time relationship yet.

    I had this colleague a few years back who was 28-29 at the time, and people were bad-mouthing him because he wasn't married, saying that something must be wrong with him. Societal pressure is very strong here.

    You wouldn't believe this is happening in the EU, right?

    • People warn about culture shock, but nothing prepared ne for this solid toilet paper roll in Vietnam

    Jump

  • These exist and are widely used in rural Romania. Even public institutions like schools and town halls use these there. They're not the worst you can get though. About 10-15 years ago you'd also stumble across houses that had no toilet paper, just newspapers. You were supposed to wipe with those. Not a fun experience!

    • Poorly socialized rule

    Jump

  • It sucks. As a dude, I feel it's almost impossible to balance being confident and approaching women you don't know and also not being a creep or bothering them. I'm not the best but not the worst when it comes to looks, I have many friends of different genders (shoutout to my enby fellows who have to deal with this mess and also discrimination) and I'm confident in most things I do aside from dating. It's gotten to the point I just won't ask women out due to anxiety over coming across as a creep or bothering them, and instead endure loneliness. Which is not great, but it is what it is.

    • how's your week going Beehaw

  • That must be horrible! Did you move far from your old home? She might try to make her way back there if it's close enough

    • Word to replace "weird" when used in a positive context

  • If Reddit pulls these kinds of moves two more times or so, I'm 100% certain Lemmy will have all the niche communities you'd ever want. This place is much better!

  • Imagine how pissed someone who wanted to get away from civilization via the generation ship would feel

  • Who would have thought that relying on fossil fuel from a country invading the middleman between you is a bad idea? I'm shocked!

    • Biden to push for Supreme Court ethics reform, term limits and amendment to overturn immunity ruling, sources say

  • Not an American, but increasing SC members would seem like a good thing to do. The more people on it, the harder it is to stack.

  • To be fair, I only joined .ml because .world wasn't a thing when I joined and srlpnk and a few others had closed registrations at that time
