Sounds like Siberian Gulag.
A support worker gave me a good talking to about expressing my desire to go to Whitehorse so I could gain a quicker license than anywhere else in Canada. She tried to dissuade me from settling in Whitehorse, because of a native man who began erupting into a prejudicial fury against whites. It was almost adorable in a way how frightened she sounded during her tale.

It's one of the few cities I haven't visited in Canada. I also can't stand the cold anymore, but I have plenty of thermals and gear to set me through my journey there.

Two of the oddest pairings I've ever seen. A real redneck with two false upper incisors that looked like square pieces of bubble gum. And a south east asian looking fellow who tried to gyp me after he handed me the money because I couldn't find the ownership.
Their car smelled of weed too.

Is Europe importing American tipping culture?
The way I learned about tips is that you should give them in restaurants, cafés and to food delivery people. But you just give a small tip, usually just rounding up. So when you order a coffee for 3,50€, you might just give 4€. If you eat at a restaurant and the bill is 37,20€, you give 40€. If it is a clean 10€, I might throw in another 1€. You get the idea. When I was in Scandinavia there was no tipping expected, afaik.
In America, people calculate the tip with percentages. They double the tax or calculate with 20%. Overall, I think they tip more.
Now recently I was with a friend who ordered food delivery for us from an app. Order and payment was all done in the app, including setting a tip. You could choose 5%, 10% or 15% with 10% selected as default.
What are your thoughts on this?

How do you think our societies are going to cope with the inability to raise children through proper male and female pairing, leading us to the next collapse?
First I wanted to make a joke about state-mandated gfs for every bernd, but then changed my mind in favour of a serious discussion.
So, to answer your question. How did the ancient Romans or Greeks coped? They didn't. They were conquered by more virile barbarians and the ecumene descended into dark ages for centuries.
