I’m from Asia and honestly it’s really tiring to hear people keep making fun of Americans.

It was never funny to bring up shit like children fucking dying from school shootings in a snarky comment, and I think any reasonable person with actual, genuine concern for the world’s problems understands that if all we had to do was give, everyone would well have fucking received already.

Hahaha well then what better experience can you have with an ebb and flow like that? That’s beyond living it up, and more like riding the storm 😆

Ten seconds? I think Mother Nature can understand if you wanna live it up a little bit more you know?

Yeah I agree, I don’t think it’s all luck either. But I do paint him in a bad light for not doing well with what he had in his hands. I’ll probably never know what kinds of unseen pressure one tends to experience as a billionaire but he’s really not doing well, to put it kindly.

Waluigi hentai, so disgusting and so sinful.

Where do people even find that? Is there a link or something? So nasty, Waluigi hentai

I’ve had the same experiences actually. It’s also a lot more common (at least from what I’ve experienced) to find people being more composed here even in the face of some divisive or provocative content.

I used to really love R. Kelly’s Bump N’ Grind, until… Well, I think everyone knows at this point

Thanks for the new term I learned today

I’ll probably keep two at most, though I’m pretty close to dropping one in favor of an eyepatch and a peg leg

The most original joke in here (not being sarcastic)

I’m sorry, I’m not sure if it’s my lack of sleep or a reading comprehension issue on my end but I don’t understand your question. Though to answer it literally, English is so influential in my country that our schools tend to speak, read, and write in English more often than our native languages. If you speak English well, it’s likely that you’ll be regarded as a high-class individual by a good chunk of people here.

Unfortunately, that has threatened our own identity - to our people’s cultural detriment and annoyance - as you’ll probably see via English public discourse on American social media interwebs… which is why I’m saying, hey, why don’t we stop paying attention to what the US is doing every now and then? I mean, how’s Ukraine been really? What’s happening with their EU membership? Maybe if the US wasn’t always on the world stage they can actually participate more authentically and we can stop defaulting to making fun of kids dying in schools as a counterpoint, you know? It’s messed up wherever it happens.

Fair, I suppose because the US tends to be belittled so often online so I never made the connection to those sizable facts. It’s a bit too much still though, don’t you think? News about the US somehow always taking over headlines? The world always looks at the US. There’s always something about Elon Musk or the American government even on Lemmy’s “non-Reddit-exodus” instances. When Apple releases a new phone, people won’t stop talking about it positively and negatively. Europe does a better job with most things yet it’s less common to find them in the spotlight.

To be fair, the US always seems to be the center of attention anywhere you go. Why that is exactly, I don’t know. I mean for fuck’s sake, I live all the way out in bumfuck Asia and somehow news about American pop culture makes it here better than my local news does most of the time.

I’m not belittling America’s problems but sometimes I feel like people can benefit from being made aware that too much exposure to anything - like criticism of other countries - is detrimental to our world view. It’s literally The Cultivation Theory at work.

What a square, this is what happens when you don’t take a single minute out of your day to listen to unrelated Belgian techno anthem “Pump Up the Jam”.

…pum pum pum

I can hear trance music in this post

well at least I don’t have to keep the CD in the CD Drive to actually play the game now

Basically all of the I Spit on Your Grave films

X: “Your code isn’t working because there’s something missing at the end of this line”

Y: “Oh. Well then, do you wanna semicolon?”

That’s rizzzz with a Z++.

Step up, song makers. Don’t get tied up in your chords

Hahaha unfortunately Circuit de la Sarthe is my absolute limit when it comes to track length, though even on the Mulsanne Straight I end up spacing out. It’s like a mini break
