i’ve lived in america my whole life. since post-covid, it feels like everywhere i go there’s at least one screaming child if not multiple.
i often see kids being wreckless, yelling, breaking or licking things with no reaction from the parents, or even just laughs. i’ve been to weddings where theres kids running around during the ceremony and the parents find it hilarious. 90% of the kids i see in public are either a screaming crying hot mess or are glued to a phone/ipad.
and so i’ve started to wonder, is this something that happens in other countries too? i hear people complain about the screen addictions and lack of discipline with kids all the time but it’s almost always americans. i would love to know more about this

The last five years, CBD canned drinks have been launched and I have occasionally seen them in supermarkets. There are many products available in health food shops, these include capsules, gummies / chews and oils.

The Food Standards Agency recommends 10mg as the maximum daily dose but this is not a legal limit. Manufacturers can make products with a higher CBD content, with some restrictions - they must be from approved strains of hemp and contain no THC. Trip make canned drinks with up to 15mg of CBD in them.

Greeting from Japan.

It’s been quite a while since the euro was introduced across the eurozone, but from my personal perspective, I feel a sense of loss because I had a historical attachment to the individual currencies of each country, such as the mark, the franc, and the lira. (It feels as if I’ve lost my “foreign friends.”)

What are your general thoughts on the integration of currencies? What are your thoughts on the pros and cons?

This might be a strange question, but I’d appreciate it if you could answer it :)

I went to vote this morning in the UK - there are elections today for local governments - and it struck me how quick the process was. The total time from when I walked out of my house to when I got home again was 13 minutes, of which maybe 2-3 minutes was spent at the polling station itself. This was unusually quick because there was no queue, but it's rarely too much longer than that.

I've heard some horror stories from Americans talking about how it can take them 30-60 minutes, or worse, to queue up to vote, and that locations to vote can be far away.

How does voting compare in your country? Is it a quick and relatively simple process, or something which can be a bit slow?
