i hate when americans get asked about the israeli/palestinian conflict and they say “well it’s not really my place to have an opinion” our country literally funds genocide against the palestinian people in the name of “defense” it absolutely is our business, we should be as mad as we can as loudly as possible.

my absolute favorite genre of tourist is British People who underestimate how stupid big the US is

It’s like ALL Europeans! People show up to my job at like 11AM saying “I need to get to the city for my flight by 3, what can I see between now and then?” and I get to tell them “Well if you leave RIGHT NOW you MIGHT be able to make your flight at 3″ and watch them flap around like a dying fish.

I had a dude say he was hoping to take a day trip to Mt Rushmore after doing the main famous thing at my park, and he got PISSED when I told him that it was a 17 hour round trip. “That’s unacceptable!” he said, like we had just moved it further a week earlier.

A family once stopped in and said they were trying to get to a random small town in Missouri and were flabbergasted when I said that I had never heard of it, and that I had no way of looking up where it was, and basically just giving them directions to get to the city due east of where we were so they could go to the library and print out directions (they also never like that we don’t have wide ranging cell service. We got working internet last summer. This isn’t news.)

Size culture shock is such a huge thing. I'm from Northern Ireland so for the longest time the relatively small distance I could travel felt like "the most" (even now a trip to Bangor or Derry feels massive even though it's like, and hour/hour thirty tops).

Even when I did go somewhere else as a kid, since the structure of a trip would be dictated by my parents or like, teachers n stuff, nothing really felt "big".

But for uni I lived in England (I know) and even that felt so much more massive than anything I was used to. I was in a shopping center that I feel could comfortably house most of Belfast city centre.

So I can't even beging to imagine how overwhelmed I'll be if I ever go to like, mainland Europe again, or the states 😵

I’m from Phoenix, AZ. When I was a kid we used to drive to Los Angeles to see my grandparents 1-2 times each year, so in my brain LA is fairly close. Unbearably dull drive on account of the scenery, but close. It’s about 6 hours.

A few years ago I did a little road trip around Norway and averaged about 2-3 hours of driving most days. When I would mention this to Norwegians, multiple times they looked completely aghast and asked me if I was okay. Wasn’t I tired, how can I stand that much car time?

I didn’t know how to explain to them that I would travel 3 hours just for food I’m craving.

Ah, memories of driving a 4hr round trip every weekend to see my now-wife. It was a mountain pass, too, so I'd have to check the weather constantly during the winter to make sure it wasn't closed because of avalanche or blizzard conditions. And I'd make sure I had music, podcasts, and maps preloaded and saved to my phone because cell service was spotty for a good portion of the drive.

Sometimes during our visit we'd want to visit the nearby city, which was a 2hr round trip (or more) through a winding canyon road with no exits in between.

Every time I get lower back pain at work I think about that scene from the incredibles where Mr. Incredible is being stretched by the giant robot and his back clicks in juuuust the right way and he laughs triumphantly and proceeds to tear the robot to pieces

elon musk getting cucked by a trans woman and then throwing a fit and tweeting out these two homophobic memes within 45 minutes of each other is hilarious and pathetic.

of course the mega billionaire who's wife left him for Chelsea Manning would post multiple "memes" that somehow hate on victims of war and trans people at the same time

i love when games forget girls exist but have a female playable character because you get so many accidental gay moments like this lesbian date i went on in pokemon

depiction is not the same as glorification and I need people to get that

chaotic-carnifex

depiction from the POV of a character who thinks it’s okay is still not glorification

I’m reminded of when Harry Osborn became a drug addict and the CCA (Comics Code Authority) told Marvel they couldn’t publish the story because drugs were bad and shouldn’t be depicted in the comics media.

And Stan Lee wrote back to them that the story wasn’t meant to glorify drug use but to warn of dangers.

Fast forward 50 something years later, and people still have the mindset that depiction = glorification.

I was a teenager when I first ran into a protagonist doing something that made me uncomfortable. Keep in mind - I ran into characters I wasn’t meant to cheer on doing such things before.

It was a piece of media I enjoyed but I seriously considered dropping it because of it.

For a few hours.

It took me - a teenager - only a few hours to realize that I don’t need to support everything the “hero” does. That I can judge their actions and disagree with them. Exploring my own moral standing on the matter and wondering what I would do in their place.

I’ll always consider it a valuable lesson I learned that day. A piece of media does not enforce my moral standing. It should not.

Now. Over fifteen years later I am horrified to discover many adults can’t realize it.
