How does the World view America these days?

This is your brain

This is your brain on drugs

This is your brain on dogs

This is your brain on lasagna, a fifth of whiskey, and a quart of Hagen Daz

Any questions?

"...He talked to me and was wearing what appears to be a full body white panda suit, surgical mask and sunglasses. He had a flash drive, said he had information he wanted to get on the air..."

"The man was wearing a hedgehog onesie when he walked into the TV station."

Hedgehog or Panda hoodie? the situation is ongoing & just to chaotic to tell. a robot has been dispatched to bleeding boy now...

Even though she's clearly reading all of that off cue cards, that she probably didn't write herself?

Just a moderately aesthetic talking head reading off cue cards? lol

Edit: I'm being a dick, I know.

Maine's tea-bagger governer LePage just veto'd botj solar power and Narcan.

Truly indefensible.

wtf - she looks like she's 35. Speaking as another over 40...

Anyways I know plenty of "millenials" who do great stuff. And part of the reason their future looks so fucking grim is the boomers' policies of kicking the social security can down the road. That and "trickle down" economics.

Her generalizations and lack of historical knowledge are hilarious though. As if her generation was the first to listen to songs degrading to women, or the first to use slang to describe people they care about/love.

LOL

other than the vitriol of "death to america" in the middle east i sometimes get the feeling that the British hate America more than any other country

Trump dressed as Napoleon, riding a bald eagle, holding Bin Laden's head. Doesn't get any better that that.

There is prolly much more resentment in parts of Latin America. I never really experienced any when I lived in the UK.

the anti gringo brigade was pretty vast at one point south of the US border..... where do you even begin with specific regimes etc?

tbh that reads more like borderline caucasian Baltimore sounds than me olde cockney sparrow after a couple of sherberts

Yeah i mean i learned Britspeak from Mary Poppins, Spinal Tap and the Office.

I am kinda obsessed with some of the colloquialisms, though, like turning body parts into verbs (to "neck" a pint, for instance). I'm surrounded by Mainers and everyone talks like a Mainer with a Maine accent and it's kinda horrifying actually. I have a smidge of dialect-based classism where the thicker someone's Maine accent is, the less intelligent I think they are. There's something about the word "ayut" that chills me to bone.(Luckily I didn't develop a Maine accent.)

Anyway my point is I am supremely envious of how Brits talk.
