2 Things I don't get about Americans

1. Their need to always be the best at everything.

This isn't even just a conservative 'Murica thing. Plenty of liberals have that mindset too, though how they present it is a bit different. For example, in Hamilton there's a whole song about how New York City is "the greatest city in the world." In a lot of cases, it seems almost subconscious, which just makes it weirder.

I get part of it is propaganda in school, but I don't get where the need for the propaganda comes from. Is it how they excuse American Exceptionalism to themselves?

2. Their thing about guns.

...Why?

A bus may have only a couple of passengers, especially at the beginning or end of its route. But let's also take fuel efficiency into account.

[foxoftheasterisk]

If there's one person on a bus because that person cannot or doesn't want to drive, the bus is succeeding.

[luckyladylily]

I read a study once on the fuel efficiency of various types of commuter vehicles (car, bus, train) on a per person basis and the number of people needed riding public transit to match the "efficiency" of cars is shockingly low. A bus needs to carry like 3-4 people to be fuel efficient, and trains require 2-3 per train car. Both often carry two dozen or more during peak hours, more than justifying any perceived requirements for efficiency for the train or bus to provide service the entire day.

Mom whose 7-year-old has brain swelling from measles still wouldn’t vaccinate

EXCLUSIVE: South Carolina parents living in the state’s measles epicenter tell Rhian Lubin of their devastation after their unvaccinated 7-y

[mysharona1987]

But is there an update on this kid?

[mysharona1987]

What happened to him?

[phinarei]

Encephalitis with measles is often fatal. If not there's almost a 100% chance of neurological damage. And even if he makes it through now, there's a pretty high risk for a second bout of Encephalitis in about 10 years and that second one is more often fatal than not.

This bitch may have killed her kid and if not, she's ensured that he's going to suffer for the rest of his life in one way or another. Deafness, blindness, brain damage, chronic pain, chronic infections, a reset immune system, and lifelong fatigue are all high possibilities. And then a long-term risk of dying from a spontaneous remission because measles fucks your immune system so bad it won't protect you from anything, possibly for decades.

Anti vaxxers are child murderers.

I appreciate 'adn' being preserved in the form of 'qeu', that's absolutely beautiful.

Me: So, today I'll need your teacher to pick out someone who's been really well-behaved to help me with this story.

Grade 1s: *gasp excitedly*

Teacher: Ooooh! Let's see... [Grade 1] why don't you go up?

Me: *reads from The Book That Can Read Your Mind by Susannah Lloyd until the prompt where the person needs to pick a character*

Grade 1: *answers 2 questions about the character they picked*

Me: *correctly guesses the character*

Grade 1s: Whaaaat!!

Other Grade 1: How did you do that?!

One of the things I miss about Brazil is being able to ask for sweet popcorn or sweet popcorn layered with savoury popcorn at the movie theatre.

[indigosfindings]

i really like this thing where websites will have separate "log in" & "sign up" buttons and if you click "log in" it takes you to a sign-up screen anyway so you have to click "i already have an account" and then it will ask if you want to sign in with your facebook account or with instagram or linkedin or deviantart or whatever, and if you choose "username & password" it asks if you want to put in your username or use your thumbprint, and once you put your username & password it emails you a confirmation code, and once you put in the code it says "do you want to give us your phone number for future sign-ins? do you want to sign up for facial recognition? do you want to give us your bones? give us your fucking bones?

Canada is replacing the GST/HST credit with a new benefit. What does that mean for you?

Payments are soon coming for millions of Canadians, and changes are on the way to a key federal benefit program. Here’s what you need to kno

The Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit (CGEB) will replace the GST/HST credit beginning in July 2026. While the program will operate under a new name, eligibility rules, payment calculations and the overall structure will remain the same.

The federal government says quarterly payment amounts will increase by 25 per cent for five years (2026 to 2031), providing additional support to Canadians with low and modest incomes.

Before the new benefit begins, eligible Canadians will receive a one-time GST/HST credit top-up payment, starting June 5, 2026. The payment is intended to provide immediate financial support during the transition period.

I got the McDonald's K-Pop Demon Hunters meal.

So, I got the K-Pop Demon Hunters meal (the HUNTR/X one) and I really like the demon sauce (it's spicy honey mustard but purple-coloured; kinda like the colour of that purple ketchup Heinz had in the early 2000s).

The part I'm not so thrilled about is that they didn't send the ramyeon powder for the fries, which was the whole reason I bought the damn thing. I've read that if you like ramen you'll probably like the powder, and I'm really curious.

It's the second time I've tried ordering it via Uber Eats (the first time I ordered the ramyeon fries as a side to my order and I got the fries but no powder).

I do like the collectable cards I got, as they're shiny (and therefore kids getting them will be going mental over it). I got two cards of my boy Jinu, which was a plus. And his demon card looks rad as hell.

His other card looks pretty cool too:

That being said, upon closer inspection, they come with a tiny detail that's either insulting or super funny:

In one card, Jinu is wearing a McDonald's logo ring, and in his demon form, he's wearing a McDonald's logo necklace.

As my mom put it, "They must have paid a LOT to be allowed to do that."

Here's what the back of the cards look like, btw:

[cuunos]

being a kid and hearing adults say stuff like "woah 2011 was 4 years ago haha" didn't really convey the fucking horror of a youtube video crossing my recommended labelled "9 years ago" and it's from 2017. that's not true. 9 years ago is 2010 or something. don't lie.

"You'll put politics over family?"

You're damn right I will.

I have a transgender sister. Another one of my sisters has been harassing her with Bible verses and telling her that she's going to hell.

She's clearly willing to put politics over family. So why the hell shouldn't I?
