As someone from Europe I can guarantee you that 5-10cm (2-4") at the bottom and 30cm (12") at the top with almost no gap between the door and wall are by far enough to not suffocate. Maybe put a vent in the ceiling for good measure.

It always baffles me that this is considered a luxury in the USA while in Germany (and I assume most of Europe) this is the absolute standard. Stalls where the door doesn’t lock properly or where the indicator on the outside is faded so that you can’t reliably determine if it’s occupied are already considered signs of bad maintenance. Gaps that you can look through without pressing your face right against them would be a “nope, I’ll never visit this place again” level scandal.

Yeah, I know. I wanted to err on the side of caution. I could have said “The US has 0” but didn’t want someone to show up with “well actually in my state…”

This thread seems to be about right-wing Americans getting their “non-woke” coffee from Bolivia so that’s what I used for my comparison.

But sure, let’s compare it to Europe:

• Bolivia has universal healthcare, similar to most European countries. No idea about the quality of course.
• Annual leave gets a bit complicated to compare. For the first five years, it’s a minimum of 10 days, that’s not much indeed. The lowest in Europe (though non-EU) seems to be Turkey with 14 days for the first five years. For years 5-10, it’s a minimum of 20 days, about the same as much of Europe. After 10 years, it goes up to a minimum of 30 days which is actually more than most European countries have as mandatory leave (though for example in Germany, many companies offer 30 days instead of the required 20 as a common perk).
• Maternity leave is similar to the lower end of Europe, For comparison, Germany has 14 weeks at 100% pay.

Overall: not perfect but also not bad for a relatively small country in South America with a GDP that’s way lower than most of Europe.

Just a few examples: Bolivia has universal healthcare for all citizens. The US does not. Bolivia has a minimum 10-30 days of annual leave mandated by law (depending on how long you’ve worked), the US has 0. Bolivia has 13 weeks of maternity leave at 95% pay, the US has… well it’s complicated.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a whole generation for whom loss is the “hide some lines in your posts” meme and who have never even seen the original comic let alone know who Tim Buckley is.

At this point it feels like the loss meme is completely divorced from its original meaning and more a „where can I fit it in“ like running Doom on a pregnancy test or Bad Apple on Christmas lights.

It’s SuperbOwl, not SuperOwl, without the “b”, the pun is ruined.

All of the Discworld books of course. Or at least your favorites.
