@JimmyMcd62 What? Denying all the home nations part in the British empire makes them sound like weak cannon fodder that had no impact. They certainly did have a huge impact. "their" is very much "we". We should own our impact on the world - which was good AND bad.

@end3of6days9 Not a big deal. I would put the pennies back in the bucket and leave them there. There is no receipt, and he left them in a public building. It is not the clerks responsibility to look out for the personal property he left.

@MilesPerHoward Will buy you lunch at the Kelpies - just let me know when. :)

@bushontheradio Maybe a 2000AD and BTS K-Pop kings.

@KelseyMBrickl @TouchmineX I think you missed my point, or chose to ignore it.

Perhaps you are perfect, and the internet is magically accurate for you so that you never made any social mistakes when first in a new foreign country.

Not everyone is that lucky.

Well done.

@TheDreamyCity Why just one?

@janelsooo There's an offside rule in American Football too, and Rugby, and hockey. There are good reasons for it. https://t.co/ZOPoSNHVVx

@KelseyMBrickl @TouchmineX ...being aware that "smiling at strangers is not a universal greeting", always carry cash, use Taxis over Uber etc...nothing specific about tipping rules at all.

[Nik of Data @bit_by_bit]

@KelseyMBrickl @TouchmineX Easier said than done. If its a country that speaks a different language to me, I am relying on sites in English that have detail. Also, what do I ask? A search on "are there any weird things i should think about as a visitor to New York" only gives me information about scams...

@anon_opin Animals. It's right there already.

@JProud0980 @AlanShanks4 McCoist is hilarious but I would say, in general, all of the the UK commentators are good.

@WilliamTra54726 @Brand_Anuj Beeping a reminder to a car that is already over the line a second after the light goes green is not an aggressive act.

@garyalsmith They seemed sure that it was their managers fault after losing by 4 goals in the 1st match. They sacked him, got a new manager in...and lost the next game by 4 goals.

I don't think it's the manager.

@KelseyMBrickl @TouchmineX I was pointing out that the sign in yellow cabs was helpful - otherwise how would I have known?

[Nik of Data @bit_by_bit]

@kenlife202010 "Regions" lol

@RachelFree33791 @TruthBiologica1 @zachsagefox In other words - no one is denying slavery except right now?

[Nik of Data @bit_by_bit]

@neysbroTTT @KelseyMBrickl @TouchmineX This is not true. Its a common internet myth. The employer legally has to pay staff up to the federal minimum wage and there are other rules to protect the pay of workers. https://t.co/pOQaYsxwzh

[Nik of Data @bit_by_bit]

@KelseyMBrickl @TouchmineX Equally as a local who sees tourists mistakes - you try and be polite and not embarrass them. If there are rules, they need to be shared to visitors. It has been many years since I have been in a New York yellow cab but it did have a clear sign about tipping expectations.

@shane_chaffin @suraj_sharma14 LOTS of people saw it coming. The lawsuits for web scraping, the mass sharing of copyright information, the ignoring of robots.txt. Corporate theft is not new, and it IS predictable.

Here's some irony for you: https://t.co/qTCv1sHaAs

@deejayhatesyou @HistoryWJacob Medieval combat with extra padding and long breaks after they move a few yards. And then, when they lose the ball, a whole other set of players come on to to give them a rest. lol
