You could put them all in hotels for less than that, with the secondary effect of stimulating local businesses. Isn’t that what conservatives are all about? Or is it only when they own said businesses?

I’m all for stopping games and punishing fans for slurs being used, but this seems like a really weird one to draw the line at.
That’s true, but that only amounted to 9 meals out of 90 over the month. It wasn’t really the burning issue, just a knee jerk reaction to the title of the film.
His method wasn’t specifically about eating super-size, it was just that he ate nothing but McDonald’s for a month (and probably a lot of booze according to various sources).
Freedom of speech. Except the speech we don’t like.
I have encountered this “American social issues transplanted” hand waving a lot in Europe. For example, I know a lot of Swedes who say this about a bunch of casually racist stuff (proclaiming Sweden to be very anti-racist). Meanwhile up north you see a lot of Classic American cars which are often casually emblazoned with Confederate flags and even displayed in proximity to Nazi memorabilia. Down south you have a rising right-wing party support fuelled by fear of immigrants from Africa/Middle East (eg. The non-white ones).
I understand you’re trying to educate yourself and that’s great, don’t take this as dunking on you more, as I feel like you’re in the smart minority by trying to learn and reason. It just really bugs me when I hear people say it’s a US problem. A lot of Europe is holding a lot of racist views (and in a lot of cases, horrific colonial history) and then turn around to say things like “why are my football players kneeling, BLM is an American issue”.
Only the US is allowed to ruin elections.
This feels borderline criminal. Yeah it’s 11 years old, but if someone told you that an early access game stays in early access a decade, that means you need to buy it again on release, would you?
If you were in the other thread about these bombings yesterday, you’d see that viewpoint is basically what the US teaches in school. It’s disturbing to see that so many people actually believe this was for the good of humanity.
Germany really getting some host advantage here. Honestly can’t believe there was no foul given on the first goal.
