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.

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.
Can we all agree that The U.S Constitution should be regarded as holy scripture and the Founding Fathers canonized as saints and prophets?

How do I become a nu-belussian? I've been and bred in the U.S but my heart and home has always been in Belarus do I need to get a marriage of convenience or do I slip in through the Baltics?

I smoked some weed and by the sheer force of my forgetful stupor in relaxation, I fumbled around with my guitar and forgot to record the better bits. I guess this winter I'll learn some theory to try and improve my rhythm playing as well.
