    Tiny things, like tiny doorknobs, tiny stairs cases, tiny doors, tiny houses, tiny cars, and a tiny say in government legislation, etc.

    And all the smoking! Eek. And we thought we had a drug problem in the USA. I’ve never seen so many people addicted to nicotine in my life when I’ve been there. It’s everywhere. No thank you, I don’t want to inhale nasty odor while eating my lunch. Jeez, WTF?

      The rest I understand, but tiny doorknobs and tiny say in legislation? Can you elaborate? I thought door knobs were a US thing and Europe had mostly handles. And what is different in terms of say in government? Do you mean the states’ direct democratic votes?

      Tbh I’d rather have a nicotine problem than a crack problem. Never seen so many crackheads than in the US. It seems to be also quite a problem in the UK/Ireland, but in France it’s really uncommon. There are a few places in Paris but that’s about it.

      I can’t think of anywhere in Europe where it is legal to smoke in restaurants.

      Also the rest of your descriptions sound not based on actual personal experience but on memes from the internet.

      I’d rather have smokers than opioid addicts, but to each their own
