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.

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 multiple 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.

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.

When the day comes that Brein starts sending notices to pirates, these pirates will just move to Newsgroups and VPNs.

Ironic.

Apologetics has an answer for all of those questions. Those answers are mostly informal fallacies, but you’re not going to convince someone who is already convinced there is a God and just needs some talking points.

Well, yeah. There are guidelines for new infrastructure, but that doesn’t mean everything is up to date everywhere. There are roads that haven’t been resurfaced for quite a while that aren’t up to date. But on the whole it is very similar everywhere.

It’s only a small country though.

There is a Canadian YouTuber who lives in Amsterdam who makes videos about it: http://YouTube.com/notjustbikes I’ve lived here all my life so it’s nice to get an outside perspective on this all.

This post isn’t about open borders, it’s about the contrast in bicycle and road infrastructure between the Netherlands and other countries. The open border was just the setup.

The Netherlands has very specific urban/rural (re)design standards which are quite recognizable if you know them.

As a European with a higher than average interest in North America, I can say with some confidence that Europeans don’t think about the Upper Peninsula at all.
