Except that as a english speaking non american, this happens literally all the time with ecommerce? It's not until I get to checkout I realise they do not ship to my country or want to deal with me.
International shipping is an entirely different subject. You can assume that .com is American unless otherwise indicated, and that you'll need to check shipping policies. Just like as an American, when I go to a .co.uk ecommerce site, I have to check whether they ship to the US.
.com means .company.
USAmerican have .us, i don't need a reason why you would need to claim that .com is USAmerican, unless you live in a very small bubble
Re: Find a pub that needs you
#363Am I the only one that has no idea what this is talking about? Even the "About" section just dumps a ton of jargon about something being a problem for "pubs" - which, very unclear from the homepage, is actually talking about bars/places to drink beer/etc in the UK. But again, now I know it's talking about that kind of pub , what is the actual issue? Some sort of rate being added to something? What rate? Is this relat…
lol for so many negative points this question has, there sure is seemingly a lot of support too. I guess I found the divide in our community

We both have very different ideas of what "Soviet democracy" is :) Theirs was a party democracy. Or are you referring to the actual soviets (workers councils) pre Bolshevik coup?
The actual soviets - they remained in operation for the first few years after the Bolshevik coup, and the revolutionary slogan "All power to the soviets!" gave Lenin a convenient figleaf for sidelining the elected Duma. Of course, the soviets also proved unwilling to entirely subjugate themselves to Lenin's whims, and made a habit of choosing non-Bolshevik delegates. This culminated in the failed Kronstadt rebellion…
Ah you have misunderstood me.
I think the person elected should hold a lot of powers. Because otherwise, what is the point of voting if they're just going to leak it all to the civil service?
By "kill switch", I just mean you need a way to stop a leader with a lot of powers in exceptional circumstances - such as violation of a constitution.

> Exactly, designing a 'third place' that isn't alcohol focused seems to be a tough nut to crack. how so? I go to a climbing gym and it is a pretty social (and, of course, healthy) activity... crossfit is not my thing but apparently it is similar for more traditional workouts. to the extent you can consider a cycling or running club a "space" those are similar. dog parks for dog owners, playgrounds for parents, etc..…
Many of those lack spontaneity though. I don’t walk past a climbing gym with a friend of mine and think “fancy popping in there for an hour or so?” You need to plan a visit to many of those places so you have the right clothing/footwear/etc. The social point of a pub is that you can just decide to go in on a whim. Pubs are increasingly not about alcohol either. I’ve had a few instances in the last couple of years whe…
In america, going to a bar and not drinking is .. hard and the waitstaff tend to hate you (low tips per hour).
