I bought Mega Man X Dive Offline, really hyped for it, but then when I double checked my VPN, I realized it was set for the Netherlands… Not good, I thought I had it set for the US as per usual.

Now it still showed the price in USD, but now I’m paranoid, I put in a refund explaining the situation and promising I’d buy it with the VPN turned off this time…

How fucked am I?

I don’t know if you’re kidding, but that would be a very weird law.

It’s called jaywalking - illegal in Australian cities actually.

Also in US, and I suspect many other countries

I don’t know if something that oppressive is going to be true in many countries.

Maybe only in oppressive countries like China and the US, and a few others.

Illegal in the USA, too. It is a rarely enforced law.

This is so weird to me. In Belgium, if there is no crosswalk in 20meters, you can cross (and cars a supposed to stop to let you go).

What do you do if there is non ? You take your car to cross the street ? Or everything is well done and you have a crosswalk every few meters on every road ?

In the US it’s only illegal if there is a crosswalk and you don’t use it. If there is no crosswalk, then it’s not jaywalking.
