I'd expect to be able to go to the phone company and get information on who she's been talking to. I'd expect to be able to get records to prove harassment or bullying, too.

I know that's the reality, but I would not expect that at all. Do you also expect you can call your ISP and get a list of all the sites your kid went to?

The upside of this is if the penalties are bad enough they might stop collecting all the data in the first place

Vegas is surrounded by empty desert, they don't need to use rooftops and parking lots

Yeah that's what I figured

What?

You clearly stayed in shit hotels, mate.

I've stayed in a lot of different hotels, sometimes the best in the city. Sometimes just meh.

Did you just roll over like a good puppy and eat it anyway?

Yes

Impossible to fall asleep an hour after waking up.

Most hotels outside the US and Canada actually do a legit good breakfast.

I really think you have this backwards- at least in my experience. I wonder if you're just staying in nicer hotels when you're on vacation.

The breads, hams and cheeses of a continental but also heated cloches of eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns etc. Also it’s served from about 7.30 to 10.30

And all of them stale because they keep changing them out for a week. The biggest thing missing is most european hotels don't have waffle makers- or if they do they're missing syrup. One hotel I stayed at put the syrup next to their stale pancakes, and nutella next to the waffle maker- they had it very backwards.

I'm a freelance software dev, you just made me realized I should vacation on a schedule so I have some variety in my life.

Or they're free.

Also there's a linux distro in development names Aux you know!

Strongly disagree, I've stayed in a fair few hotels around the world. Best are usually US or Asia(not China)

I mean the yanks deep fry butter for god sake.

Yanks do? If anything that would be more of a southern thing, but I don't think its a common thing anywhere other than as fair food or something

I am half-way through 21 now so I can't say I'm basically a teenager anymore :(

Extremely cheap, fast food that’s greasy as fuck, has barely any nutritional value, and so convenient that you can just eat it out of the bag - sounds like an American dream.

I've found American food is generally less liquidy grease than british food. Americans don't want fried chicken dripping in grease, they want it dried then covered in various sauces. Also places like golden corral and cracker barrel already exist and are kinda dying

It was only a bit over 2 years ago. And no not particularly and outlier for US citizens at least. My sister also applied to another country and didn't have big problems.

Okay you're free to define words how you like, but dictionary definitions generally are close to how most people define it

I think we're going to have to agree to disagree. To use your example, if my neighbor was smoking in a place that it was stinking up my bedroom, and I asked them to stop doing it there, and they were like "nah I like it here" I'd consider them a huge asshole. Just do it over there not by my bedroom or something.

Telling them they can't smoke in their own home, or can't ride public transit after smoking is ridiculous.

One confounding issue here is that fireworks affect a pretty big area. The whole neighborhood is probably going to hear them.

So does the smell of weed. That was a hypothetical example as luckily my neighbors don't smoke, but my grandparents neighbors do, and it stinks up the car whenever I drive past that whole block- so it definitely is something that effects a large part of the neighborhood.

I've known people who live out in the woods that are big on "I do what I want on my property!"

I live in a city, I had an argument with my partner last night because he was against getting a fire alarm(not mandated in our country) because it could wake up the neighbors at night. Which I believe is a totally acceptable cost, but he does not.

that's not what packing the court means to most people unless it's being used as a politically motivated insult
