Teenagers have not worn pigtails since like the 60s

Foreigners might not get this post's reason for existing, but with some people it really does feel like we're supposed to rebuke everything we see on a day to day basis and sometimes everyone we see, or else we're no better than Maga MacDougall who actively donates to AIPAC over here. Sometimes an exception is made for Black culture, but it's usually a shallow one that unravels the minute they have to elaborate on their dislike for American culture. "Americans should be more cultured" is an okay criticism but a lot of people who say that aren't satisfied unless we come to the conclusion that everything about our home is bad.

And I have never found an elaboration on "America has no culture" that wasn't steeped in some combination of appeals to a pure and ideal past, ignorance of how migration shapes every culture, classism, and sometimes even racism. As far as I'm concerned, you're a statue PFP if you say this.

I personally think that's the only likely scenario where there'd be war on American soil.

I think she's explicitly mentioned it's because it's free.

~~Black~~ voters aren't thrilled with Biden but dislike Trump more

There are security concerns. Cars are the worst product category for privacy. The issue is that goes for all cars, not just cars from opposing superpowers.

Hope it's not as bad as I think ("as bad as I think" means "mass killings;") What else can I do? Everyone else here seems to be privileged enough to have the skills or plain cash to say "I'll go somewhere else," isn't as worried as they should be, or think they're Apocalypse Badass Man (see: accelerationists.) That's not me. I'm unskilled, poor, I have the self-introspection to know I don't have what it takes to be a revolutionary.

You don't hear about American politicians farting because we decided you needed to, you hear about it because France Info, BBC, Sky News, etc. decided you did, or because you're on English speaking parts of the internet and the USA represents the largest English speaking population in the world by far.

I think Activision-Blizzard passed EA in badness years ago. Maybe Square Enix did too.

Like, when's the last time there was an EA controversy beyond "game's bad?" And even then I've only really heard sports games and Battlefield are bad.

Why do I remember this exact thing existing in like 2016?

There were a few attempts to make metric time. Revolutionary France tried it and Swatch Internet Time was an attempt by a Swiss watch company during early internet days, honestly it was probably a promo stunt rather than an earnest attempt, but a few things supported it, including PHP and the MMO Phantasy Star Online.

I always feel weirded out when people are surprised part of Russia is in Europe, when I was surprised to learn part of it is considered Asia.
