  • Thanks and (I'm so sorry) not the first to mention Kenshi! I've been drawing in this style/universe since at least 2006, so I think I just have very similar taste to the Kenshi dev.

  • It gets me thinking. Tech literate people are the types to install blockers, and would be the same type of people both motivated and knowledgeable about how to switch browsers. On the line of thinking it seems like it is just going to drive them away from Chrome. Tech illiterate people remain unaffected since they are getting ads anyway.

    But then on the other hand, if someone is tech literate then why are they even still using Chrome? Does such a person value whatever advantage Chrome theoretically provides over their ad-blocking?

  • and the whole hooters/twin peaks concept

    I haven't thought about Hooters in years. It always did seem like a dated concept from the 1980s that was somehow still clinging to life in the 90s. It's still in business, so obviously somebody must be going to them, but I don't know if I'd call it normal for most Americans.

  • Anecdotally this is also my experience. I grew up with shoes off in the house, but even up to the early 00's it seemed to be a cultural outlier in the US.

    These days I think the majority of people who I go over to visit have a shoes off rule. Seems like the split is between the older half of millennials and up shoes on, and younger half and down shoes off for the most part.

  • If a business has a sign posted stating “no guns allowed,” you can still legally carry your weapon in that business.

    I'm sure that's the practicality, but I am skeptical of the legality of a CCW permit trumping the rights of the property owner.

    It sounds more like breaking the law and just not getting caught. Do you have any links to CCW permit overriding property owner rights?

  • #8: Police

    State police enforce state level laws, and Federal agencies enforce federal laws.

    The whole semi-autonomous thing. If a state and the Feds both have their own laws against something they could each try to arrest somebody, but there could also be a situation where one might not have a law while the other one does. For example , weed is still illegal under Federal law. The Federal government has mostly chosen not to enforce these laws, but it could. Many states have legalized weed to varying degrees.

    So there could be a situation where somebody is smoking weed in a state that has legalized it. The state police have no power to arrest that person, but the Feds do.

    I'm sure this has all made it more confusing.

  • In the US with all the variety there are places like that, but then places where you seemingly can't find alcohol to buy and take home anywhere.

    There's differences between how wine & beer, and hard liquor are treated. I'd say the "average" experience is beer in any corner shop or gas station, beer and wine in a grocery store, and hard liquor in specific liquor stores.

  • Alcohol sales vary hugely between states. In some states, you can get hard liquor at Wal-Mart while in others you can only get it at state run stores.

    The rules about licensing mean some areas gas stations usually don't even sell beer, while in other places they have giant walk in beer freezers.

    Some states or counties have dry laws where they don't sell alcohol on Sundays, or maybe no hard alcohol, or maybe you have to wait until noon to be able to buy it.

    It's all over the place.

    As for the Wal-Mart machineguns, I think you've gotten enough replies on that detail, but again gun sales are something with huge variety. Some states have put restrictions in place where a Wal-Mart theoretically could still sell guns but doesn't because of the hassle, and gun stores end up being few and far between, while other places basically just have the Federal minimum in place.

  • And if he has a permit but is printing then it can also land him with some penalties.

    I can't find anything in a quick search the specifies printing as being illegal. In fact, a quick search brings up the opposite, that printing is not a legal definition and the discussion around it by laypersons often becomes muddled with confusion between printing and brandishing.

    States will vary, but did you have a particular one in mind regarding the specifics of printing? Some of the search results I get mention some anti-printing laws but none I find get more specific than that.

  • According to the chart, here are a few other countries where the average is "dumber than the average human":

  • this is very similar to the game Kenshi

    Thanks! I like Kenshi and plan to play it more once I have a working laptop. I think I pulled some parallel inspiration as Kenshi for some of the style choices.

    No, I don't think I will.
