Well we’ll have to circle back to this later

Everyone circlejerks about this online but every IRL owner I’ve actually spoken to say it’s the best car they’ve ever owned.

Really? Not “blue sky”, one of the toddler’s favourite things to identify?

Quick, someone print out and photocopy this photo

It was very popular in the mid-2000s but I don’t think I’ve heard anyone use it since then. I’d say somewhere in the middle.

“As the crow flies” is a pretty common expression on this very isle

Maybe. There’s also “The Commonwealth” which includes them but which the USA explicitly opted out from (by gaining independence from the British Empire before it was cool).

Interesting. I’d probably call that “the anglosphere”, Anglo-Saxon is specifically the pre-Norman-conquest residents of what is now England.

I hate that it’s apparently the edgelord opinion to think bringing a child into a world where they will suffer is a bad thing. Anyone having a child is either a victim, an idiot, or a sociopath.

Do you use it differently to “English”?

Anglo-Saxon cultural elements

You did your best to stamp those out back in 1066

Does the USA just let anyone become in charge of large areas of the country? Like you don’t need to be an elected official or anything?

Were they dumb?

Yes.

It’s a single country with a single currency, a single government, a single history, and a single language. Yes there’s a lot of variance within the country, but it’s really nothing compared to visiting Europe.

What about the giant colourful letters saying MARIO PARTY makes you think the isn’t a Mario game?

I’m assuming the person you’re imagining to be objectively bad is either literally Hitler or a skinhead neonazi with swastika tattoos and a history of violence, right? What about people who joined the Nazi party because the alternative was having their lives destroyed, or the kid with a bad home life who was radicalised by a gang of thugs who are his only friends? They’re both fascists and victims of fascism, where do you draw the line at who should be killed?

Obviously most people agree that WW2 was justified to stop the Nazis conquering the world, but you can’t just say “it’s OK to kill someone because they’re X”, because then you just need to label whoever you dislike as part of that out-group and suddenly you’ve justified killing whoever you want.

It’s never fine to say “it’s fine to kill all X”. You need to stop fascists, but you can do that without fucking killing anyone you’ve decided is evil.

they are when the folks they killed were fascists

Ah but it’s OK because the people I killed were all baddies!

Before there was Photoshop the program there was a literal photo shop where you edited photos IRL!

I’m in Britain, things did get very slightly less bad this year!
