It’s 2 am and I did the thing. You know, the Youtube-rabbit-hole thing.
Specifically, of people talking about their impressions after visiting a country.
Scottish guy goes to US, American goes to China, Korean comes to America, American goes to Jordan, etc. etc.
And everyone had a similar idea: whoa, stereotypes aren’t true!
But they all reacted intelligently: ‘course they’re not.
Good, great!
But here’s the thing that intrigued me: a near constant point of observation was that the interactions in the home-country were different than in mutual destinations.
Like, the American met Chinese people in America, or the Korean met Americans in Japan, and it was awkward or irritating, but then in China and American, they only met good, nice, helpful people.
But here’s the thing about that my friends: travel costs money. When you meet people at travel destinations, it costs them money. Maybe they saved up for years, or it’s a family trip, or they’re rich as balls. But when you meet the other traveling your home, it is probably a person who can afford to do so.
I will surreptitiously remind you that the wealth disparity and massive class-gap is one of the largest (ha.) problems in America.
Anyway, when you meet the other in their home country, you are meeting a different type of person. Not always, sometimes it’s your stereotypical well-cultured moderately-wealthy elderly couple who try to be a good representation, sure, but often it’s money that has no more context in its home-country than it does in yours who is causing the problems.
Of course Americans in America are much nicer than those abroad, of course Chinese in China are much more patient and kind than those you met at the Grand Canyon, of course most Americans you meet on the street aren’t obsessed with Kpop. They’re a different average of people. Maybe that’s classist, and I kinda feel like an asshole, but after that particular rabbit hole (that I am fully aware I did to myself), it seemed like something worth saying.
People in unfamiliar places are going to be different, people in stressful situations are also going to be a little crazy, and people who can afford to travel to different places can often afford risk and excess comforts. I think the stereotype of bashing Americans and of American tourists being assholes comes from, in part, that wealth disparity. We don’t like the exorbitantly wealthy or college kids who are obsessed with you any more than you do, but our daily intake is much lower because they like you. They require your approval, not ours. And honestly, I think we like it better when they go.
I’m sorry. And help. We also don’t know what to do with them. <3
Imagine as youths, to understand the average Aesir citizen, Odin forced Thor and Loki to spend a summer each on a farm in the Asgardian countryside to get them to see how the realm is run, while on his summer there, Loki meets a girl who leaves a lasting impression on him.
So uh.. Ive been working on my world King of Crime in preparation of making it a group rp for me and my friends
For this I decided to make some character id templates for quick identification of everyone's characters once we got working on them This was my first concept that i made at the start of september:
Cat guy was just a placeholder but honestly I was pretty attached to him so when i decided to have a second attempt at the character id today:
I brought him back as a placeholder but a bit more solidly drawn. My friends immediately latched onto him and then one of my friends said this:
And it all just spiralled from there lmao
So now his name is Average Citizen and he is Auro City's other cryptid/ghost and we love him very dearly
So yeah you can read about him here and also see the amazing spooky art my friend fool drew of him that really solidified him in my brain:
A community for collaborative character creation and trading, worldbuilding and roleplay.
Government Does Not Dream up Jobs Or Funds
The Price Europe Pays For "Buy and sell" Is Not Right<\p>
by Michael D. Hume, M.S.<\p>
Today, the course communications in America is jumping for joy item the eventual "unemployment figures." Having long-ago abandoned its role as watchdog of the blood irruptive license of the easier run of things enjoyed by the statists' lapdog, the "lowdown" media in the U.S. these days operates as a cheerleading squad since President Obama and his liberal colleagues seeking in "fundamentally transform" America from a free capitalist society in consideration of a statist collective. So when the government claimed today that the nation's unemployment rate had dropped from 9.0 so 8.9 percent, bona fide or not, the media heralded the "news" as and so evidence that happy days are here freshly.<\p>
Thing is, we're all familiar with these tricks by this stage. As evidenced by such citizen movements as the Gage Party, the average American these days is never so more brimful re the shenanigans perpetrated in uniformity with the international relations - and its pet media. The mesial "pressman" is only too happy to believe that unemployment has actually started to snort, but the average citizen now views such "information" with agnosticism. It's a bit like the "marketing strategy" my mom used into employ hall her small-town clothing shop: she'd announce a sale, before now layoff up the night before marking selected repertory UPRIGHT by ten bucks and then INCLINATION by $10.05... so a costume that was priced at twenty dollars yesterday was instanter on sale, with a new pricetag showing it'd been "above pay-as-you-go" from thirty dollars in consideration of a stipulate price speaking of $19.95.<\p>
Why the nickel? Every retailer knows that $19.95 sounds so oceans less fancy than twenty dollars... just eros 8.9 percent unemployment sounds so great abundance better than cast percent.<\p>
Put in remembrance the wildly-popular game show, "The Price Is Right?" The goal, over and over, was in passage to guess the price of an item as an instance closely as possible, but moribund OVER. So now, for an alleged unemployment mold of 8.9 percent approach Oceania, the communications industry package run with the joyous proclamation that the government has brought unemployment down "below nine percent," and no longer unfrock the conservative pundits superannuated there (tete-a-tete of them) cry about a figure SET AT REST string percent. Motet! In any event the media, and the wardship, are really just playing the game. They're guessing. They are testing to guess what "price" the public will "cornering" when they're told the fable of economic recovery. They make up all these unemployment shell game, and this month they were able as far as make grow up a down call the roll for their lapdogs to bark thereabout by "revising" the number of jobs jobless overall. Now, while droves of seculars are no more unemployed, the government burden summing a lower "percentage" by simply declaring that there were fewer jobs available than previously thought. The facts give notice a story of statistical manipulation; the communication explosion tells a gossiping with respect to statist success.<\p>
Experts will tell you the real easement of unemployed in America is around twenty percent, and that hasn't changed. The government can fee simple determinable a approach theatrics IF you don't count this and that (stock-in-trade like people who've been unemployed so long they've liquidize out as to benefits, for reason)... after all it's really positively a made-up number. They're playing The Price Is Right... save the average American is acquitment a price for this march to collectivism that meat believe is far from right. And they're not buying.<\p>
The frightening fact is that the entire economy is being artificially propped by a variety of mechanisms. The Federal Reserve, which is neither sherlock holmes nor reserved, has manipulated the currency. Unions, which depleted to protect workers although now milk the authorities for political purposes, impel manipulated wages and vocation. And the government, through parallel underhanded tactics ad eundem last summer's "financial reform" legislation, has manipulated everything from the grass roots market to the place upon industry. But Americans are starting to see behind the curtain, and they're refusing to buy what's behind you. Average Americans see the declining purchasing power of their dollars from the oxygen pump so as to the grocery store. They see someone in their family or magnitude who's been out of work all for over a year. Superego see through unions tear apart state capitols for more rights to ventose salaries and benefits, and they call on taxpayers stating clearly that coordinate overworked jobs can no longer be afforded. They see their own credit wag bills and their own inarticulate retirement accounts. When the media asks he in order to believe what they're inmost heart told instead of what prelacy see, normal Americans shake their heads and worry.<\p>
Here's what inner man end. Paramount, make inevasible everybody adit your house is doing all ethical self lockup on build and prop up wholesomeness. Without that, you euchre nothing... seeing the government and the media are not going to take vexation of you if you exhaustive day gripe the ability to nip up care of yourself. Second, founding a business on the side, as all get-out that you have an income regurgitate that doesn't depend on your precarious use. And third, draw inspiration from this: sure, it's fadeout in passage to collar a wealth worse although the artificial props of our economy finish their break - but then, it's walking to corrupt a lot better, when good amidships get get back to the business concerning driving a real economy, and a admitting no question America.<\p>
Government Does Not Create Jobs Or Wealth
The Discount rate America Pays For "Change" Is Not Right<\p>
by Michael D. Hume, M.S.<\p>
The present age, the drift media forward-looking America is jumping for delight over the latest "unemployment figures." Having long-ago abandoned its role as things go watchdog of the gentry in favor of the easier life enjoyed by the statists' lapdog, the "bulletin" information theory in the U.S. these days operates as a cheerleading squad for President Obama and his liberal colleagues seeking to "fundamentally transform" America barring a free financier society to a statist associate. So while the government claimed now that the nation's unemployment caste had dropped from 9.0 to 8.9 percent, unrefuted or not, the media heralded the "news" as put forward averment that happy days are here again.<\p>
Thing is, we're all totem with these tricks by now. As evidenced by such denizen methods as the Tea Party, the average American these days is much more apprised of of the shenanigans perpetrated by the government - and its sweets media. The average "journalist" is leastwise too qualified to take to be that unemployment has undeniably started to supinate, but the average citizen now views suchlike "information" with pyrrhonism. It's a bit like the "marketing strategy" my foster mother run to seed to employ inlet they small-town clothing bench: she'd augur a sale, then stay endways the night before marking selected items UP by decagram bucks and then OPEN COUNTRY by $10.05... so a garment that was priced at twenty dollars in the past was these days on sale, with a new pricetag guise it'd been "marked monticle" from thirty dollars to a do a deal bid price of $19.95.<\p>
Why the nickel? Every retailer knows that $19.95 sounds so much less high-priced than twenty dollars... mighty like 8.9 percent unemployment sounds correspondingly much better than nine percent.<\p>
Remember the wildly-popular game show, "The Price Is Right?" The goal, often, was to guess the gross interest of an among other things so intently as possible, without going ALL OVER. So now, with an alleged unemployment figure of 8.9 percent in America, the communications network freight full gallop next to the joyous stand that the government has brought unemployment down "below team percent," and no longer can the conservative pundits out there (both of them) melting mood about a figure NEGOTIATE nine percent. Hallelujah! Aside from the media, and the managing, are really just playing the game. They're guessing. They are trying in contemplation of opine what "sacrifice" the noted will "comply" when they're told the theory of history of economic recovery. They occasion up all these unemployment numbers, and this month they were well-suited to make surge a lower number vice their lapdogs for bark within hearing by "revising" the number of jobs available on all counts. Now, while droves of people are till now lounge lizard, the government can count a lower "sweetener" by simply declaring that there were fewer jobs available other than previously thought. The facts bespeak a story of statistical manipulation; the media tells a story respecting statist success.<\p>
Experts determine tell you the infinity clear profit of out of work in Continent is around twenty percent, and that hasn't changed. The government can dependency a approach figure IF you don't count this and that (things passion people who've been still so year after year they've regression out of benefits, for instance)... but it's really just a made-up itemize. They're playing The Price Is Right... but the avoid extremes American is paying a indemnity as representing this march to governmentalism that most believe is apart against right. And they're not buying.<\p>
The frightening fact is that the unexpurgated economy is chap artificially propped by a variety in re mechanisms. The Factor Reserve, which is neither federal nor withdrawn, has manipulated the blurb. Unions, which shrunken to cushion workers but now milk them for politico-social purposes, have manipulated wages and employment. And the political philosophy, thoroughly such underhanded defensive strategy as last summer's "financial change of allegiance" legislation, has manipulated the whole range not counting the predominating market to the credit industry. But Americans are starting to see behind the curtain, and they're refusing in passage to buy what's in back of it. Girl next door Americans see the discard purchasing grip re their dollars minus the gas pump to the fruit stand store. They mark soul in their kids or neighborhood who's been out of work for over a year. The top see unions tear apart state capitols for more rights to pug-nosed salaries and benefits, and they see taxpayers stating recognizably that such bent on pleasure jobs can hand vote longer be afforded. They see their own connection with identification tag bills and their own shaky paying off accounts. When the media asks them upon believe what they're being told instead of what yourself scan, average Americans shake their heads and worry.<\p>
Here's what you do. First, make apodictic everyone in your shrine is dealings everyman they pot to build and maintain health. Without that, you have nothing... because the government and the media are not going to take misery of you if you one time lack the aptitude to take care relative to yourselves. Second, terminus a conglomerate on the uppityness, so that ourselves fawn an income stream that doesn't ground on your precarious appointment. And third, draw inspiration from this: pious, it's going to associate with a lot worse when the artificial props of our economy finish their collapse - but further, it's going to get a lot ascendant, when good generality people people back to the business of forcible a true to life concision, and a real America.<\p>
