Well good thing you didn't, you mighta got shot

Well... True... But really that was a once in a life opportunity

Indeed

Worth getting shot.

Still, you would have gone home 15kilos heavier

Our food is unhealthy as hell

No seriously. I was supposed to volunteer for a year with the association Little Brother - Friends of the Elderly.

*most typical American food is unhealthy

Visit isolated elderly people across all of Chicago.

Trust me. I was so salty when the booth chick refused my Visa Entry.

144 euros down the drain

Le oof

Or should I say ouf

Eouf?

Both work.

Ha ha you've made me hungry
Cheese toasties time
V community spirit Jun
Why did they refuse you?

Also...

You Americans actually don't use this preposterous Imperial system?

Oh we sure as hell do. I was gonna say 30 pounds but it'd mean nothing to you

He he us Brits use both!

@Raven never gave me an explanation... The people around me say it's discrimination and that I vaguely have a Muslim name...

I just think that booth chick was a dumb bitch.

Sounds likely

Vaguely muslim

Gg

We do, but in Middle school they would use Metric and imperial in our science classes. I agree imperial is garbage but I have an easier time visualizing things in imperial

Agreed

Look... My name sounds more African descent than Muslim

But Americans aren't exactly great at guessing that either.

I'm willing to convert systems since no one outside of us uses it

I should have said that day that I was a Nigerian Prince.

It's a simpler system but growing up more with imperial has programmed me to be able to think in those measurements better if that makes sense

Being around that system normalizes it to you

It doesn't for I who was raised in metric system sorry :(

Why is 1 yard = 1.6~ meters is beyond me.

As long as we can convert measurements, we can understand each other though

@Jun bad check in system they shoulda let you in....awesome im guessing Algeria decent?!

And a foot is 12 inches because it was the standard Maker's foot length

@Raven Nah, I'm from French Islands like Martinique, Guadeloupe and Maurice.

Neat!

But yeah, being denied the Visa and losing the job was pretty... Devastating.
