If I offended you enough to profile stalk me, I was probably joking, and likely drunk. The flag only indicates I'm English to explain my spelling to Americans.

An American beta-reader criticized my 18-year-old character drinking beer because they assumed it should not be allowed, despite it being high fantasy set in a fictional & historical world. Also drinking age (beer, wine) in Germany is 16.
Not every place is the US!🤦♀️

So apparently there’s a lot of knowledge I can use from being Canadian and setting my story in Alberta Canada that is gonna make me seem legit. For example, the drinking age here is 18, my FMC is 19 and is surprised that she can drink at the bar (my FMC is American)

@BarneyFlames Scandi countries come top because the methodology confuses happiness with smugness.
English
I am skeptical that "happiness" stats mean anything, it feels like Scandinavian countries always top these ranking because there's a strong cultural taboo against whining there.
As anglosphere culture becomes less Anglo-Saxon, public whining is increasingly more normalized.

@JoshPhillipsPhD Reducing a complex discussion about history and interpretation to ‘de-colonising Shakespeare’ strips out nuance, debates about culture aren’t that simple.

The more I read this, the more I realize how it is utterly illiterate.
How exactly do you decolonize someone’s birthplace? He lived there. No one came in and conquered his house. It’s just a house of a man that exists.
These people are exhausting

@GarrusVNBadger I like spicy food, but why does *everything* have to be spicy? Doesn't it get repetitive? Why not just make tasty food with high quality ingredients?
English
Can't wait to see all the "WHITE!!!" replies, but there's such a thing as "too spicy". And that line should not be crossed because the end product is uncomfortable and borderline inedible:)

Hey, do you like extra spicy noodles?

@urbanponds101 There needs to be a tax on paved gardens. I agree it's a disgrace.

Three gardens lost. Two trashed and one paved over. I’ve shared picture of these lovely gardens in the past. I appreciate people’s circumstances/needs change, but still, so depressing

@drewsparkley @holland_tom Wow, you're observant. Major roads are used to get from place to place. For example, if you live in N Dorset and you want to drive anywhere in a fan between Oxford and Brighton, you have to use the A303, or a lesser alternative.

A great day.
Huge thanks to everyone who has contributed to the campaign against the Stonehenge Tunnel.
Especially in my thoughts today is Kate Fielden, who first recruited me to the Stonehenge Alliance.
Wishing she was still with us.
