    Yes. My comment is all about letting people know that you are spreading misinformation and talk out of your ass.

    It’s far better to say nothing, than to say stuff that are wrong, just for the sake of saying something.

    I’m from Sweden if you need to know.

    EU doesn’t say anything about livable minimum wages. That is up to each member country to decide for themselves.

    Not even everyone in EU have an actual minimum wage.

    Minimum wages is NOT why tipping isn’t customary in Europe.

    Here’s the problem. You think you know what you’re talking about. But you don’t. It just sounds nice in your head and so you start to believe your own bullshit.

    I know they are unverified stories. But I have spent a decent amount of time in the US and everyone I know personally have a similar story of someone being suspended for something stupid.

    This is simply a catalyst for those memories of mine.

    You keep saying that word… I don’t think it means what you think it does.

    Pretend, something that isn’t what it is being represented to be. E.g. imaginary.

    Just because people collectively agree on things doesn’t make it pretend.

    Money doesn’t have value because we pretend it does, but rather because we believe it does. Because we trust that it does.

    And yes, there is a difference.

    On a more real note, it also has value because everyone else trusts that it does. All those other countries. And no, they are not countries because we pretend that they are. They’re countries because we recognize their authority over their territory, and their citizens recognize the authority of their government.

    So why do we recognize authority? Because of means to enforce it.

    There’s no pretend going on. The consequences will be very real.

    Their favorite words used to “debunk” anything you say;

    Propaganda, conspiracy, projection.

    Anything you say will be one of the three. And everything they say is the real truth.

    It’s like playing chess with a pigeon. They’re just gonna shit on the board, fly away and say they won.

    All you have to do is browse .ml

    You know you’re at the right place when you start seeing stuff like “occupied korea”.

    I’ve seen plenty of people not only defending Russias invasion but justifying it as the right thing to do with claims that they are “de-nazifying” Ukraine.
