Another purge I take it?

2019-07-11 09:59:02 UTC  

no, the channel is just haunted by the delet monster

2019-07-11 10:00:48 UTC  

Hunted.

2019-07-11 11:43:16 UTC  

It's a monthly thing, except most channels were overdue. Only temple and wrtng were done last time (and they've been done again to avoid having to remember a staggered schedule)

2019-07-11 13:17:53 UTC  

It's needed because I like to debate some more in-depth things in here. @Lupinate Excuse me, for saying I am still gasping at the Starbucks coffee company store's and their locations around the world. Yes, everything, will eventually look the same. Is this a good thing , or a bad thing?

Good for travelers - you always know where to eat if you can't stomach local cuisine.

2019-07-11 15:20:44 UTC  

The local Makudonaruldo's!

Why are you making discord be IRC
Discord isn't IRC

2019-07-11 15:28:42 UTC  

Have the official Athens IRC server, peeps can use hexchat

2019-07-11 18:41:07 UTC  

@retxirT As a regular traveler this is sorta true regarding chains. *However* taking part of the local is part of the mystique thereof.

2019-07-11 20:35:24 UTC  

If everywhere is the same, there is no point in travel

2019-07-11 20:40:43 UTC  

You go to different places to see what is unique about them, whatever it is that is unique.

2019-07-11 20:41:14 UTC  

Agreed.

2019-07-11 20:51:44 UTC  

What if you go somewhere else not because you want to go somewhere else, but because it's away from where you are?

Then frankly, youre a migrant, not a tourist.

2019-07-11 21:11:26 UTC  

If you go somewhere because you want to get away from where you are, but you dont want to change the culture youre in. You completely missed the concept of how your culture influences the society around you. Or you completely overestimated how far you need to travel.

2019-07-11 21:16:40 UTC  

wat

2019-07-11 21:35:32 UTC  

@Fuksias wonderfully cynical of you! I didn't get very far because of reasons X Y and Z. But the people whom broke the Dublin Treaty agreement, are only shooting themselves in the foot because compatibility in the environment you're in, means everything.

2019-07-11 21:43:04 UTC  

There's a Starbucks in Afghanistan. You can check it on Google maps. For the purpose of my introduction of, new level's of globalism. To discuss the anomalies and the changes. The only place in Europe without Starbucks has a sanction in it and that is Bosnia Herzegovina. So, I'm saying that there are still parts of Europe that are not even having money fairly distributed to it. There are no means for them to get jobs. So, when they assimilate , are they more important than those whom broke the Dublin Treaty agreement or are they breaking it also?

2019-07-11 21:43:29 UTC  

That Starbucks is gonna get fucking bombed tbh

2019-07-12 00:20:43 UTC  

Though shops may spread globally, all nations have their own twists to their local designs and buildings. Can't think of a city that doesn't have some feature that distinguishes it from the rest.

2019-07-12 00:21:32 UTC  

So Starbucks being ubiquitously present won't change borough market or other places in town.

@ETBrooD
Ill admit that was written based on more extreme examples in mind, and not all catching. There are always nuances.
Still, if you want to travel to get away from somewhere, i assumed a good reason for wanting to do so. A good reason means you also likely wont want to return any time soon, unless the situation changes.

2019-07-12 01:23:48 UTC  

I don't know, I just think vacationing for the sake of getting away from home for a while makes a lot of sense. Everyone has a different motivation.

2019-07-12 01:25:35 UTC  

Me for example, besides wanting to meet extended family, often I have no preferred location when I go on holiday.
