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

Packing the supreme court would be to increase the size of it, not just partisan appointing

It will be 50 pages of information including blood work, urine tests, xrays, and FBI background checks.

Um, no. I’ve done visa and citizenship paperwork, it’s not easy, and you’re right that you need a compelling case for why you should be accepted. But I’ve never heard of requiring that extensive of medical checks for visa applications, especially not for from countries that have developed medical systems. Though some countries do require medical records. You’re right often a background check is required, but in my case at least, an apostilled affidavit where I just promised I was a good boy was accepted.
