Well it could be worse. You could wake up and actually be in the US.
I am European.
Here’s an image I took on Friday:
As an American I have no idea what this bizarre contraption is
this a commie bus to the despair mines
I envy your snow!
It is nice, though it’s over now and raining.
Lovely shot.
Thanks!
It’s a bloody deathwatch. It’s a country which could either crash and devolve, or get out of its own morass… at any moment.
I might wake up tomorrow and I see headlines of either a civil war or a new world war erupting.
I have a filter on
- Trump
- Musk
- ICE
- Vance
- [Ai] slop
- Microsoft
- Grok
My All Feed is basically empty now or consists of posts with zero or very few comments. I love the filter option, but it has also made it quite clear what is being pushed the most on Lemmy.
Yeah just some of the most important world events going on. Odd how people talk about that stuff.
Sure, but i’ve just reached a point where I don’t want to get bummed out, everytime I open a social media app.
There must be positive things to talk about, and not just the enshittification of everything and the end of the world.
All I ever hear off of here is about every mundane dull thing. Most people don’t give a flying fuck about the state of world, it’s distressing really. People are dying, rights are being lost, the planet’s fucked, genocide is going on but people are more interested in TV shows and other distractions.
I assume it’s because the life in Europe is better so people don’t need to escape their reality as much. You can go out and see a cool castle or ride a train or go check out a new country. And then you can get really, really, really good food that won’t give you diarrhea like the food here in the US.
Well yeah, if you only go to McDonald’s or Taco Bell then you’ll get diarrhea, but there’s plenty of food and restaurants around the entirety of the us that has phenomenal food. However looking at your post history proves to me you don’t care about facts and only about insulting people and their ideals, and seemingly everyone on the internet enjoys nothing but shitting on Americans no matter the circumstance, so I know this will fall on deaf ears.
Ouch!? You have very curious reading comprehension skills, it appears. I’m not shitting on Americans, i’m shitting on the relatively weak and ineffective governments at the local state of federal level, which tend to only serve the interests of folks with large amounts of money. I have a relatively sensitive stomach and I have been sick from all kinds of restaurants across the US.
You see, when you pay people minimum wage or less so in the case of tipped workers, their motivation to clean up and provide a great sanitary environment for everything is arguably lessened, don’t you think? Further, our education system, being largely designed by large corporate interests aims to produce ignorant workers, people addicted to fast food, sugar and its derivatives. People who think food should be as cheap and fast as possible, as convenient as possible, and not worthy of sitting down and spending time, contemplating cooking it, growing it, eating with family, et cetera.
I remember walking around in Zwolle, Netherlands. I remember being embarrassed because I was the only one walking around while eating something. Everyone else sits down to eat. I never saw anyone eating in their car. Or eating while driving. I’m just saying this is illustrative of the difference between the US’s fucked up food culture and the rest of the world’s more mature and established food culture.
Have you ever been to Japan? Have you ever been to Europe? Have you ever been to South America? I have and I can tell you, on average, they truly respect food. Just walk through the center aisles of any American supermarket and tell me if those products suggest a culture which honors and values food? It’s my humble opinion that no, not really.
If I’m full of shit and I’m doing something wrong, I am all ears and willing to do better, I promise you. You’re gonna have to be real and not just throw daggers like that.
Its time for EU and BRICS to join forces
Without RC please.
Lol mate its okay to invade Greenland but not Ukraine?
Humans are complex as long as they can justify there act , everything is okay
Constantly skating over the fact that half of EU invaded what’s now America
Here I am from the Balkans.
But I feel like posting about USA, until it’s never relevant again.
Estonia?
You have the same name as a Dragon RP guy
Lithuania?
Those are Baltics, they’re in the Balkins.
Dang, I was wrong.
Don’t worry, you’ll learn more about those places during the war.
Dude, I try. I like to embarrass myself a bit to help with memorization. This conversation will help.
From the other perspective, I love when I’m still up at 2-3 AM and start seeing the ich_iel posts come up.
I love checking Lemmy in the morning, and seeing all the German language Memes. I can’t read them, since I don’t know German, but I like knowing that they’re over there, doing their thing ¯_(ツ)_/¯
