    America: I bet the rest of the world is so thinking about me right now.

    The rest of the world: My brother in earth, I have my own shit going on.

      This is weird. I constantly see posts about how America is bad from Europeans. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one the other way around. Who is thinking about who all the time?

        Mostly Europeans amuse themselves about how Americans think they’re living in a first world country while having absolute basic developed-world-shit just flat out fail. I.e. health care, consumer regulation, public transit, education, clean water. Sure the US is not uniform but it’s a single country. Even Europe has it’s own problems but most countries have this stuff figured out more or less.
        The reason Europeans mock Americans is because Americans always ALWAYS complain about how they’re getting fucked. And Europeans are just like “lol that shit ain’t an issue here”. Which a) contributes to Europeans thinking the US is a shithole and b) making Americans seem kinda whiny.

          So many Americans are desperately trying to survive. I’m glad that our suffering is entertaining, though.

          It’s nice to laugh at people who are dying because we don’t have health insurance. What a gas! /s

              oh don’t let me interrupt your laughing at people starving and dying while you blame organizations that I have nothing to do with. I’ve never even heard of that.

              I’m just a normal person trying to not die.

                  seems like a human rights one to me, but you have fun with the edgy teen phase. good luck.

      We don’t think this… Other countries just think we think this. I’m not kidding, that’s actually the case lol.

      It’s shocking for us in the states to learn about other countries knowing which states are which. We don’t even know that!

      Yeah from my experience the US is the Florida of the world.

      We all know you guys aren’t all crazy, but there is enough of them to be part of the final picture in our mind.

      That, and being dependent on your automobile.

      True, within some big American cities, a mostly) carfree life is possible if you live in a condo near a metro station.

      But walkable neighborhoods are a rarity, while they are the default in the rest of the world.

          Yes, it is, which is why it is baffling that they don’t have good high speed rail infrastructure like China, Japan, France or Germany.

          And yes, cars make sense for the rural people, but densely populated urban centers in the USA are just badly designed due to bad zoning laws.

        Yeah, post COVID-19 they only offer 3 big macs per baby. It’s really messing around with disposable bartering chips.

      If a man ofered me a baby for 15 big macs, i would accept the deal, take the baby and go to the police.

    I felt like a stupid lazy American, but I admit I was relieved last week when our vacation in Canada, which was otherwise wonderful, ended so I could figure out speed and distance again in the units of measurements I know.

    Although it didn’t help that Toyota decided to not include a ‘show speed in metric units’ option in my Prius for some bizarre reason. They did in other models, just not the model I have.

      Yes, everyone is quite jealous of the country ranked 40th on the freedom index, classified as a “flawed democracy” with “satisfactory” press freedoms.

            I’m saying i have all the freedoms I want, no one hassles me over anything, I served my country, now I enjoy all the freedoms that come with it. Life is good, I don’t give a fuck about the press. They are trash. We rank 40thnin some made up category? Lol so fucking what. I don’t live in a shack, I have more than enough food to last me months, my kids are well educated and happy, my wife and I both have great paying jobs. I’m good. Younthrowing out some arbitrary number that doesn’t affect my life or freedoms doesn’t mean dick to me.
