I quit doing that… 4 or 5 years ago (started doing it in late 70s) ;)

Thinking about it now, this can probably seriously challenge a kid’s faith in their abilities, and rob them of a sense of accomplishment.

I literally took that as a personal challenge, and then started getting better ;)

This was so much kid-me. I was so frustrated comparing my ‘finished’ model planes with the box art. Still, I kept building and painting them :p

In those sad and stupid times, more than ever, we need Calvin and Hobbes. Thx.

I had indeed noticed the constant derisive comments regarding Americans,

May I humbly object that without numbers to confirm the mentioned anti-American bias (I have no idea on the question myself, and I have no desire to start such a study either) but without any data of how many comments have been posted, how many have been analyzed, and where they were posted, what % of those were blatantly anti-US and even how is defined that ‘anti-americanism’—and I don’t mean a few selected examples, I mean real stats—all of this is nothing but personal opinions that may indeed be correct, but can also be completely not correct.

It not only depends one’s own sensibility it also depends where one is looking at and what they’re looking for

I mean, would I read content from say an instance like hexbear I’m pretty sure I would find a lot more anti-US comments (but I would also find a lot more anti-anything, and overall braindead-shit) but if I was making the odd decision to eat shit myself, I would not complain it taste like, well, shit.

But maybe I’m just another of those anti-Americans? Maybe not.

Edit: typos and clarifications.

They might change in the future but I have not found a way either, so :(

I could have answered here, that may have been more logical but, yeah, I have yet to understand how exactly that cross posting thing works, and how I’m supposed to be using it. So, if anyone wants to read my answer it’s posted as a comment over there… Yeah, I also have to figure out how to make an instance-agnostic link to a specific comment, too.
