Are there proper-sized portions of food being served somewhere in this photo that I haven’t found?

I think it's about mixed use zoning, medium density, walkable car free streets. And perhaps drinking under the age of 21 but not so sure on the last one.

Too funny Reading the comments from Americans insisting they comprehend but then saying it's just about drinking and smoking lol

I don't get what I'm not supposed to comprehend. I suppose you can say I'm not comprehending.

Drinking in public...i guess? Or just having enough disposable income to go to a restaurant?

Having public spaces where lots of people hang out instead of TGI Fridays

As an American, the only thing in this picture you wouldn't see at a trailer park are the fancy shops and restaurants in the background. Also the girl in red would be 450lbs (204kgs).

Can't comprehend what? Proceeds to focus on a single element of the photo and contextualize it within American culture

I'd say this shitpost hit its mark

Personally, I’d say it’s long overdue that Europe reduces its reliance on the US. I am curious if it bothers you though, how much time you seem to spend thinking about America when I can assure you, the bulk of the population in the United States gives almost no thought to Europe at all?

There’s a reason the expression “Americans think 100 years is old, Europeans think 100 miles is far.” exists. The US is approximately 9,833,517 sq km, while Europe is approximately 10,180,000 sq km. Americans are too busy worrying about their own country. Why you even care about them at all is baffling. I would think you’d want them to go back to being isolationist.

What's wrong with the dress? If You could pull it off, wouldn't You wear it?

Americans thinking the bad part of this is the smoking when it's really the Marbella French restaurant charging you eight bucks for a side of mashed potatoes.

In their defense, there are few minds who can comprehend that one. Nuking this place from orbit could very well be the rekindling of US/Europe military collaboration.

That people are still smoking in 2025 given the verified risks involved?

You're right, that is incomprehensible

Even with my vape, I move away from other people.

Less time in the shit-show, a win in my book.
