“We could should assassinate Trump sunbathing, Iranian official claims” ftfy

Well it is the best game.

I’m going to be the first to eat a Human omelette.

they have extremely flexible spines compared to most other animals

Until 1971 our currency was not decimal. Britain has undergone an extremely lengthy process of metrication that lasted from the 60s to the 90s and to this day people still use imperial units for measuring driving distance, beer and cider, body weight/height, horse height. It should be pointed out that imperial units are not the same as American units.

No, the drug trade is truly international. You can’t buy an 1/8 in the Netherlands for example. But dealers will always use whatever unit their clientele is comfortable with. But, dealers in the states also use the metric system if they’re buying from places like Mexico or Colombia.

The United States consumes a lot of drugs but there’s almost no export from the USA to anywhere except possibly Canada.

Usually (at least in Britain) they’d be packaged into 9 ounce bags (otherwise known as a 9 bar) for distribution to dealers. It’s sold by the kg on the international market and ounces on the British market and 9 Oz is approximately 250g so it’s a handy way to convert from metric to imperial when selling to dealers.

Replace two of the bags with oregano and tip off the police. The police report x kg of weed seized instead of x-½ because they want to look good. Dealers believe all is accounted for and you have 2 whole 9 bars to enjoy at your leisure.

There’s no directionality to my hair growth whatsoever. So no matter which way I’m shaving I’m going against the grain. I blame the 1/64 Papuan DNA.

I pay for my parents to visit me instead.

I’m white AF and this happens to me. It sucks. Of course my beard hair is the shape of black hair and the texture of hog bristles so it’s not really surprising.

Stop going to the usa on holiday. Its not worth it.

It is now. Finders keepers.

When I first moved here as a Scot I was treated well but I was working an unskilled job and met a wide variety of people. Since transferring to academia there’s a lot less of it. But the states is on the good list for Norwegians. Which is probably why the little dude thought he would be fine and all the talk of fascism must be made up.

Ok but where are you originally from. Because they have a very short list of good countries. And a good many of them will say things like “yeah but you’re not one of those immigrants”. I’m not saying everyone is like this but a large number are, especially after a few beers.

TBF, when I first heard of this I didn’t realise dude was a tromsøværing. He probably isn’t that way just young and dumb.

He also answered when asked about recreational drug use that he has tried weed a couple of times in places where it’s legal and had a picture of a homemade pipe on his phone. Which Also shouldn’t be a problem, but it wasn’t necessarily the Vance pic that got him turned away.

Norwegians have this fanciful notion that all European and north American countries are essentially the same and that nothing is as bad as it’s made out to be by those hysterical foreigners. This requires some degree of cognitive dissonance because they also feel like there is no country as good as Norway and everyone must really want to be Norwegian.

So he probably assumed it wasn’t nearly as bad over there as people are saying and if he was to get into difficulty he could just say he’s Norwegian and people would just let him off because everyone loves Norwegians. Also he’s 21 so not terribly smart yet.

Not to mention that he’s probably never been in a situation where a border control person takes your phone.

American democracy won’t survive the next flu season. It’s pretty fucking fragile.

Yeah mine are like that. I got a 10 cm gash in my leg while I was sleeping.

China is doing very well for themselves but they aren’t making donations. They’re selling things at market value and buying ridiculously discounted oil in return.
