Penny wise pound foolish. The only way not to go through the paper is to go through the rolls.

I absolutely agree.

They probably shouldn’t have named it London in hindsight. But back then of course they probably didn’t know they were going to revisit Liberty City/Vice City/San Andreas a couple of times.

There are plenty of over-the-top British stereotypes they could do that the rest of the world would also appreciate. Royalty, Jacob Rees-Mogg/Boris Johnson style politicians, Brexit craziness, chavs, Geordie Shore, empire nostalgia.

GTA is satire about American society. Because of Hollywood, TV, and English being the lingua franca of the world, this way they can reach a far bigger audience. You couldn’t do exactly the same game set in Helsinki because the world knows far less about Finnish stereotypes. Ninja Edit: Random thought about satirical games set in Finland: My Summer Car is kind of that game.

But they have explored London before. I think the UK would probably the best setting if you would.

Technically I didn’t, so who is putting words in whose mouth?

The Chinese government are a ruthless immoral authoritarians. Say what you want about economic systems, but fuck authoritarians.

In Europe (in my case the Netherlands, but it’s similar in surrounding countries) you cannot pass on the right and you can get fined for it. If you do pass on the right you’re taking a bigger risk because it is not expected.

You can also get fined for staying in the left or middle lane for too long. But that’s somewhat rare. You can get away with it a bit to pass an extra truck (our trucks speed limit is slower) or if the right lane is full and slower than the lane to the left of it, but don’t drive excessively slow on the left. Especially on the Autobahn.

Borrowing for a car is becoming normalized in my country, but what’s wrong with just buying a €5-10k car outright? My SO and I have spent a grand total of €12500 on purchasing 3 separate vehicles in about a decade.

I drive a relatively new electric car for work that is a job perk, but if I wouldn’t I’d just driving to work in our little Mazda 2.

There is no single part of my house I even want to spend the average new car price on (€43k). That’s retire a year early money.

In Dutch, the only (one) is “de enige”. People often use “de enigste”, which actually means the cutest. Enig -> enigste.

“Ik ben als enigste over” “Ja, schattig ben je zeker”

"“Ich bin der Einzigste, der noch übrig ist” “Ja, du bist wirklich süß”

“I’m the only one left.” “Yeah, cute you sure are”

My school taught this whole convoluted system that was meant to help students with multiple tenses, but I just learned to apply the “ik loop” mnemonic which is so effortless (to native speakers at least.)

Sometimes I have to think once or twice about soft ketchup/'t Kofschip for the past participle, but that’s about it.

I’ve have and have had mechanical keyboards, with both blues and browns. I also have the Logi MX Keys S.

I think I prefer my cheap ass Dell keyboard at the office though.

Because robots are better than humans.

This is the tech bro answer, but at some point there is no point to enjoy humans to do tasks anymore.

Until then automation will just increase profits roughly within legal limits.

I own two shoe factories and a cotton farm, you?

The reason is the network effect. I want to use signal or rather even an EU based messaging service, but everybody, including businesses, are on WhatsApp in my country.

No separate tabs to do various things at once. You can pop out chats and calls, but that’s about it.

It also struggles to connect with the right audio device everytime.

Er means that in English, Frisian, and Dutch too.

Who?
