Weren't there native tribes living on the continent before the us was created?
But yeah, the land here has been inhabited for a long time. There's a major Paleolithic site near where I live.
Seems Europe as a whole also has a distribution of small and large countries, even though the us has more of them and more land

It got a bit more homogeneous after Walloon and dutch dialects were removed in favor of Paris french (while Flemish stayed a bit more different than Dutch but officially it's NL Dutch).

For the sub-cultures hub in the USA yeah, there's a lot of them, a direct result of the colonisation of the continent. But I think what most Europeans compare against is the exported American culture (from movies, music and whatever fads start there), which is pretty homogeneous (ie, mostly capitalist and individualist) but doesn't really reflect the variety you can find "on the ground".
Tbf, the Walloon settlement in the US (Namur, Wisconsin) is pretty small, I couldn't find exact numbers but seems to have a population of a thousand, and the Walloon language is disappearing

Belgium. The current country was founded in 1830. We have Wallonia and Flanders who speak different languages, each province has or had its own dialect but it has merged mainly into french and dutch, with a bit of German in the east. The country itself is probably smaller than any us state, but I don't know all the sizes of them.
Funnily enough, there is a small town in the US with Belgian immigrants that still speak older dialects of Walloon.

Less than 200 years old. And we have 3 languages, a huge cultural divide between the north and south, and more diversity in our provinces than in between us states.

Yaak has a commercial paywall if you use the pre-built binaries. You can easily build it yourself without licensing tho

I'm not fighting to get to the USA. It's a radioactive hell hole, just look at tourism stats and see it nosedived since the orange turd was voted in.
Btw, I would be really surprised if your founding fathers read Germany's constitution before making their own...

Go back to your third world country and stfu about countries you know nothing about, even less about its laws and constitution.
Either stay within the confines of your knowledge, or shut up and listen to what others are trying to make you understand.
Don't wonder why Americans are seen so negativity abroad, you are part of the problem.

They are informed a few minutes before the public announcement, so it's either them waking them, or their family or neighbors a few minutes later

Metal gear solid was fun for that, either gaining infinite ammo or invisibility once you complete the game and start anew

I disagree. The connector is fragile, subject to dust, contacts can wear out and audio quality suffers. Faulty connection means you have to twist it the correct way to have audio. Tug on your cable the wrong way and the connector on your phone is broken. Multiple standards for pinout for microphone and stereo. May cause shorts because every ring touches when plugging in. Disconnects too easily if the connector is fatigued, no locking mechanism.
At this point it would be better to reserve a few pins on a USB C connector to pass audio data. But not sure if analog can transmit fine with all the serial cables around it.

Everything is politics and staying neutral only means you let the current political majority decide for you.
In this case it's framework taking political sides by working with a vocal far right racist. If they want to stay neutral, they shouldn't be promoting them.
