His administration is hopeless at messaging anyway so no one has known nor will they know anything Biden has done.

No they don’t care. It’s why bike thieves are such assholes, there’s barely any money to be made off it at massive inconvenience for the bike owner but they do it because they know 99% no one comes after them.

I understand why you’d think that because we’re all inundated with American culture no matter where we are in the western world. But that’s just not true. There are plenty of interesting groups who celebrate cultural identities not based on the country they live in.

A web search uncovered German-Brazilians and Italian-Argentines for me, I’m sure there are many many more.

No not hateful, you’re just giving off a weird vibe about it. But you’re half way there actually, transform that energy into curiosity.

The two you picked especially have a real fascinating history and I’d encourage you to check it out because both of those groups had a tough time in their early immigration days. They aren’t fetishising at all - those communities had to stick together because they weren’t exactly welcome, and that mentality became ingrained. Over time, it was less necessary for survival so it transitioned into more of a cultural tradition.

This was exactly my experience, really enjoyed a lot of elements and spent a good 100 hours in game fooling around. Finally it was the patterns that drove me off, like the sentinel experience really turns me off in particular.

One other thing that doesn’t get mentioned enough is its horrendous UI/UX, just a lot of little annoying interface and inventory management decisions.

I mean you’ve basically hit the nail on the head except you’re misunderstanding one important thing. They aren’t ‘trying to find one’ they have one. Their culture IS that Irish or Cuban heritage and it wasn’t retconned from 23andme or ancestry.com - it comes from the story they were told about their identity by their parents from an early age.

What’s with the negativity from you and the other comments?

I can tell you why Americans care. Because identity matters to people. The story of the melting pot is central to the American story as a nation of immigrants (even today) and central to individual identities. Thus, there is a lot of interest in backgrounds and geneology. If you ask the average American about their heritage you’re likely to get a surprising answer - so people talk about it more.

I get why it seems weird to many other cultures - if you ask the average French person (for example) their heritage they’ll say ‘French as far back as we can tell’.

The French person celebrates their identity through the lens of the French story, and the American does too, it’s just that the American story is the immigrant story.

I hope you do actually care. I hope in this era of rising nationalism and online hate enough of us value diversity of backgrounds and ancestries.

Yup. This time his biggest mistake will be picking incompetent people. But I’m sure neither he nor his braindead cronies will understand that.

I’ll wait for the Walmart in Edging to catch up

I don’t know if teabagging counts as dancing anyway

Should bonium be in horny posting

I’ve got some rage reserved for the Biden team right now. They do actually do some good things but are heinously miserable at communicating it so of course the MAGA thugs fill that vacuum with their own ‘info’.

The coalition split apart so they had to call for snap elections

All infrastructure should be owned by the government

After the US election my good friend in Germany was like ‘thankful I live in a stable country’ and that very day their gov’t collapsed.

Every rose has its thorn

Wait what, I have below average blood pressure and have always leaned on caffeine to focus better. I never had any idea the two might be connected.

No you’re right, even if it’s just chaos and infighting for the next four years we’re all going to suffer

I feel like if we’re to get out of this unscathed it’ll be because of this kind of infighting. AntiMAGA people in gov’t should find as many ways to stir the pot as they can.

EDIT: y’all - definitely agree that we’re not getting out of this unscathed, you can quit pointing out my poor choice of words

I feel like people are using those terms pretty well interchangeably lately anyway
