A lot of shops in the eu close down early or dont open on sunday.
In france, its normal for restaurants to close down for 3-4 hour between the lunch and dinner rush.

iirc there was something about sunday laws and it's just carried on, i know malls in malaysia were like 8am-11pm but here everywhere's like 10am-6pm more or less so it's kinda w/e. that said, i also recall some discussion about chinese restaurants always being closed on tuesdays for business+rest reasons

The thing about the US is that we had most of our small businesses wiped out by big box retailers, which are open for all hours. My understanding of the EU is that that impact is less prevalent and there are still a lot of smaller retailers(under 200 employees). And the US is trying to work itself to death too.

well like supermarkets and shit are just not allowed to be open on sundays (with exceptions) or in several states not past 8pm etc.

Yeah, we got rid of those laws in my state and now everything is open all the time, with exceptions of banks. Its kinda shit, IMO. They tried to have people work through Thanksgiving a couple years ago, because retail needs to be open at all times now.

Yeah, we changed that law too. Most of them are open to 6 pm. We still have a number of "dry" downs that limit liquor licenses

I think everyone from the EU should have to eat at a US McDonalds just to experience the base line for US trash food.

ESL, the gift that keeps on giving somehow :

(a caster who is tagged with them is going really far out of his way to flame bulldog for being washed up, and r/dota2 is up in arms)

In some small fairness to him, it's important to note that the internet is chock full of assholes and like many public spotlight figures will tell you, you can't let the haters get to you when you put yourself out there. There are so many of them, and if you listen to them all you'll never accomplish anything.

That said, totally ignoring constructive criticism because you are incredibly full of yourself is exactly how you end up how ESL did with the Genting disaster. And somehow like 2 weeks later somebody is making the EXACT same mistake in spades. If nothing else, you have to project a lot of humility in response to criticism, since that's the only guaranteed way to win public relations.

Im pretty sure at this point even if ESL went back to twitch, the "alternate casters" could pull more viewers. rofl

I wonder at which point the "good" casters refuse to work for them?

None. The casters don't care about the drama. Most of them actually supported ESL.
