McDonalds has a multinational presence, along with taking regional pricing into account (meaning the prices of food items differ and adjusted based on GDP per capita), like a Big Mac is $6 before tax while the same is $2 in another country.

The menu is different by country (certain menu items are only available in that region, like how Japan has burgers with teriyaki sauce or rice buns) along with the menu being around ¥1500 for a tray while the same is $40 in the US.

I mean, have you tried McDonalds overseas? If so, is it cheaper when you consider regional pricing and what item do you wish was available at US McDonalds but only remains in that country? Is McDonalds in other countries better or worse?

I’m mainly talking about banknotes that currently in circulation today (technically, the US had $500, $1000 and up bills but those were phased out in 1934 from mass circulation regarding the amount printed meaning only a few exist within niche groups or collectors). Meanwhile Switzerland has a bill equivalent to ~$1230 in circulation.

To be clear: the CIA is NOT a law enforcement agency, so that’s out of the picture.

Through official channels, it only applies if the US Government (proper) has bilateral agreements with the host nation where the fugitive lives whom gives them authorization to operate in their borders, otherwise they have zero jurisdiction across borders. However, nations who are enemies with the US do not cooperate that easily.

Some countries DO NOT welcome the presence of American authorities (including their embassies) as they adhere on maintaining their own sovereignty, through those means: they have no option but to either wait for the suspect to enter a third party nation whom may have a extradition treaty with the US or infer via INTERPOL as a mediator.

I know that in regards to writing, there are tons of cognates but that’s only in text (such as: hôtel / hotel, table, garage & etc). Instead, can speakers of either language understand each other when having a verbal face to face conversation? Both languages are from different backgrounds: French is part of the Romance group while English is a Germanic one.

I’m mainly talking about watching a TV show or movie that’s originally in English enabling subtitles that’s either in Spanish, German, Russian, Finnish, etc. and can mistakes in translation still occur? I recall watching Lie to Me with Japanese subtitles during a scene involving an interrogation but a key word within the dialog was not translated correctly based on context.

For example, the protagonist said “You’re an accessory for murder” towards the suspect but subtitles used the wrong word choice 小物 (which means “accessories” as in small goods, i.e. stationery or trinkets) when the intended meaning for “accessory” from that context leans more on being a conspirator (共犯者 or 共謀) of a crime (like as in aiding the criminal).

For vanilla minecraft, the default launcher from Mojang themselves is fine but lacks support for mods (since you have to download those seperately alongside the mods you want to add). However, if you are serious about modding the game: Prism, ATLauncher, Curse Forge are preferred since those have the loaders (Forge, Fabric) integrated.

I hear stuff equivalent to “Westerners moving to another country for a better opportunity” but overlook one detail: their citizenship is still from the USA / UK / AUS / NZ (so there’s jury duty, right to vote, taxation, etc to take into account) in which those things still linger around even if you are not physically there, since it’s heavily tied to what passport one carries.

I mean it like this, if one is held back by jury duty in USA / UK / AUS / NZ that makes it somewhat annoying to move abroad as it remains volatile whether you’ll be summoned even in absentia or while preparing to move abroad, even if you explained and provided them proof that you are living abroad indefinitely: would that alone grant you a permanent excusal?

Some countries even have mandatory voting during elections (i.e. Australia), again that can be a set back for some. Civic duties such as being summoned by the court on being a potential juror or voting hold you behind when wanting to move abroad, as they can happen at any given moment. Renouncing citizenship of a “Anglo” nation rescinds all that.

Taxes are something EVERY nation has, there’s no escape on that. However, for example the US is one of those countries that collects taxes based on citizenship: the solution for that is an American renouncing their passport ONLY if they are a naturalized citizen of the country they’ve moved to (which a US government official has to finalize & approve).

Depending on the country they have moved to: some countries have tough requirements for naturalization (as each nation has their own nationality laws) like Japan doesn’t recognize dual citizenship (now requires 10 years permanent residency before elligibility) while some countries allow dual citizenship (i.e. Germany) with lenient requirements for elligibility.

Renouncing citizenship from your home country isn’t a cake walk since it has multiple legal requirements and bureaucracy holds you back before being a naturalized citizen of the country you’ve moved abroad to. Like this, if you renounced your US / UK / AUS / NZ passport: that rescinds your ability to vote and no longer have to stress about jury duty.
