Government should provide those necessities, and your media... the influence it gives shapes your society so badly... Good quote is "Divide and conquer" Divide citizens many ways (Religion, Race, politics, feminism, sexual orientation, etc...) So they can't never come together and fight the power. US government manipulates so much, so people are literally fighting with themselves, while the rich can run to the bank. Don't get me wrong. I fucking love USA as a country.

Ice is relatively cheap, cheaper then the drink, it also takes up a lot of space. So if they fill your glass half way with ice, you will only have half a glass worth of drink. With out going into a whole lot of math, they put ice in your cup so they can charged you the price for a full cup, while you get only half a cup's worth of drink while only costing them half of what you just paid. It would be about the same as a gas station charging you the price of a gallon of gas but only giving you half a gallon and a bunch of filler.

Hi, American here! I'm going to clarify each point here to make more sense. Yes, tipping is mandatory in most places. However, chain restaurants like McDonald's don't require tips. Some will have tip jars, which you are recommended to put your change in, but you don't have to. But if there's a delivery driver, tips are 70% if not more of their salary. And if you don't tip at a restaurant, don't go back to that restaurant! They will remember you, and they will spit in your food. Yeah, the vacation thing is pretty accurate. Normally if we want a break, we pretend to be sick to get off work, but even then we have very limited sick days. Yep, super sizing is our main thing, its why one of our stereotypes is all of us are fat. I think its meant to give as much food as possible for a lot less money. It definitely means most won't go hungry, buy it also means a lot of us have serious health issues that stem from that. But we do love leftovers! P E A N U T B U T T E R Our sports are basically a whole other religion. Just ask any southern American their favorite sports team and watch the fireworks. I hate prescription drug ads, they're so weird man. Yeah, we already had a game named football so lol whoops Ugh, I hate sales tax, we don't even lower them, we just have sales tax for that. 1 dollar for reeses peanut butter cups, not counting tax of course. I live in Washington, so its pretty high. We legit just chose not to use metric because old ladies asked politely not to change it so we didn't and now we have no way to go back. I dont even know how to use the metric system anymore. Yeah, I didn't even know other people didn't do this. We just like to know what month it was first, sometimes we don't even use the day. This one makes sense to me, we're also changing cigarettes to be the same way. I think its probably just safer so less teens become alcoholics.

@@jeffwilliams2828 How did this become a racist thing? It has more to do with early American culture mimicking former British culture. In the past, Britain did do tips, but that quickly fell by the wayside. It wouldn't be America if we didn't try [and fail] to copy British culture. They tipped, so we tipped. They rid themselves of tipping, we kept it. It's as simple as that. Another British hand-me-down: "saloons" which were supposed to be like British "salons" but were distinguished from another kind of American "salons" where you can get your beauty treatment.....not to mention that "saloons" weren't the most classiest of places, unlike their British counterparts. They aren't legally required to be payed the _normal_ minimum wage but instead are payed a _different_ minimum wage if you can prove your employees are being payed by tips. Yes, America has two established minimum wages, one normal and one for tipping, all because early American culture really wanted to copy British culture (but failed to do so in many other respects). So, if you really want to blame "racism" for things that aren't necessarily racist to begin with, blame Britain. After all, we were just trying to be like them....which begs the question why did we even want to be our own nation in the first place. Hmmm....

Here's the thing about US vacation days: Some Americans are afraid to take vacations because they believe that when they come back they won't have a job anymore. Why? Businesses want to maximize profits. Duh. But A LOT of businesses really take it to extremes and run on the bare minimum of staff to maximize profits. So what happens when you go on vacation? Well, if you're a responsible employee, you designate someone to handle your work while you're gone so everything runs smoothly while you're not there. And that's the problem: If you're not at your job, and not only does nothing go wrong but someone else can do your job and there's for the price of one, that's more fat that can be cut off to maximize profits. BOOM! You're fired. I've known of 3 instances where people got canned within a week of being back to work, one of them wasn't even a vacation, they went to the dentist to have a procedure that kept them out of the office for a day and a half! So for a significant amount of Americans that actually GET vacation and/or sick days, they kind of see them as a booby trap: Take'm if you dare!

And in the 30-40 degrees C heat in Texas during the hot summers, ice is very welcomed in the drinks. Texas is NOT the cool and wet UK where they think 20 degrees C is hot... NOT!

[@chitlitlah]

You get ice by default, except with beer, wine, and maybe fruit juice.

@@bryanlee4953 that's what I was thinking too, and you can always ask for drinks without ice, even most cocktails (although use that sparingly).

Ice is always put in. Rarely is “ do you want ice?” Asked

I hate having ice put in my drinks.

[@connorallgood0922]

Where I live they always ask it. I can't stand ice in my drinks because it makes you have less drink in your cup, plus if the ice melts it'll start to water your drink down.

[@anon87481]

I mean you could always say "no ice" and they dont put ice.

[@ninarain9422]

Yeah ice is always put in unless you ask them not to.

[@mskain4896]

Not only is ice always put in--most cups are FILLED with ice. It's seen as a low-key cost-saving mechanism for restaurants and fast food places. It also could be considered an offset to our large cup sizes. I am part of RPG Limit Break, an RPG Focused Video Game Speedrun community that has members around the world and meets once a year in SLC, Utah (well, years that are not pandemic-ravaged) to hold a gaming marathon raising money for NAMI, and some of our British regulars have had angst-filled discussions on Discord about the overabundance of ice in their drinks--particularly since this is in a part of the country where our annual May gathering was once visited by snow, and we more local visitors were unfazed.

Lav Luka, great video, I like the way you react to the videos at hand, you seem 100% invested, which is tough! One thing, you should try to do the face cam on the bottom right and make it just a tad bit smaller. Love the videos, keep it up!

[@summerdehner9346]

In the US, at least everywhere I have been, all fountain drinks automatically come with ice unless you say you do not want it.

[@InstrucTube]

Generally you only tip where there's actually someone "serving" you. Not giving you something over the counter, like fast food. Speaking of, ice is generally the default for drinks here. You can usually ask for no ice with little to no issues, but if you don't specify, you're gonna have ice.

[@ljb8157]

Except for... oddly enough... coffee shops. Most people even tip at Dunks and Starbucks

[@jlpack62]

In the USA, you can almost always get unlimited refills on drinks, so it's hard to say that it's about the money. At this point, most Americans just prefer their drinks with ice. Many of us, myself included, like to chew on the ice as we drink.

@@ladybug6117 Don't be a smatass. There's a chickenpox vaccine that you should be able to take, so therefore, chickenpox shouldn't be an extreme issue on your part as long as you take said vaccine. I just figured that you were anti-vax based off of the nature of your comment. If you aren't anti-vax, then I'm not sure why you felt the need to say that. Chickenpox can be really bad for people in their mid 40's. But, then again, it can all be avoided through the simple use of the chickenpox vaccine.

You don't tip at a fast food place. But you tip at sit down restaurants, even if you get to-go food. You also tip your hairdresser, masseuse, any kind of beauty service, food delivery drivers, etc.

Soft drinks are loaded with ice because refills are usually free.

[@matthewb7788]

I always ask for no ice You do have to specifically request it

[@duckywucky4812]

This is what I’ve found out the machines if they have ice then the drinks already gonna be cold if they don’t have ice your drink won’t be cold also the ice takes up space I could’ve used for drink and it also waters it down after a while

[@gengoosekhan]

No, soft drinks contain ice to reduce the amount of actual soft drink drank. In a sit down restaurant, in a given meal, a person drinking without ice may drink two glasses full. With ice, they drink three or four as there is less liquid in the glass. Both people drink the same amount of liquid, but the person with ice has drank less soft drink overall because the 8ce has melted over time. In fast food without refills, it simply means less soft drink needed to fill the cup. Ask for no ice, and at most fast food places they still use the auto-fill dispensor that dispenses a measured amount, you can see the space that would have been filled by the displacement of ice.
