Looks like snakes.
?
what are these american cats
overcome your fear
what if cumber was colored black
I am chill with the noodles
Mostly rodents.
yeah they're paid minimum wage
they are not barn cats though
but actual barn cats are real snake eaters, I'll tell you that
Seems like in that case they get commission, at least
My current cats are one cuddly muffin and one velcro goblin.
theyre solid for getting rid of small vermin
What about Clownade-sized vermin
My cat leaves corpses in the yard every week
yo how do you hide the bodies
wrong mate
Barn/farm cats are murderers that barely recognize that your barn/farm is their home.
They're basically feral cats that found someone with Stockholm Syndrome for them.
do they go to vets
trust me bro i know lmao
in my experience no
is their life expectancy short
🟣Mrp's not a fan of surprises.
Surprise Cucumbers are a surprise. Mrp's sure you can figure it out from there
Varies on the farmer.
ive never seen them eat big snakes but the odd tuinslang ive deffo seen em chow down on
Shorter than an indoor cat, absolutely. Many go missing because of other predators.
idk mate
"snake eaters", "solid"
i think it depends
also do these feral snake consumers allow people to pet them
they get their own food brother
It's a trust thing and cats are independent always have been
the sounds of them breaking a mouses skull in pieces and chewing through the meat stuck with me
bros are crazy
if a cat was a human itd be a zombie
Barn/farm cats are typically semi-socialized, as they recognize they do get some small additional security/sustenance from the folks they've conned into caring for them. They're very often affectionate/social with humans... but they're only barely one step up from a fully feral cat.
Idk I bet he solid
solid like my snake
i dont really fuck with cats overall
all normies keep arguing whether pineapple belong on pizza
The only cats I fuck with are mine, and that's mostly taunting them when it's close to meal time and they're getting very insistent that they're wasting away, starving to death... when I know better.
but riddle you this
That’s certainly the worse way to use cats to shoot
cats are great, but they have a lot of individuality
does pineapple belong in cottage cheese
yes
i dig the individuality
I prefer lots of pepper and using a cheesy chip as a scoop to eat it with/from.
i want a friend, not a servant
real
hmm
The only things my cats serve are sass and rodent parts.
reptiles are chill af but it's irrational for insects
no headbutts?
I don't hate them, just dont go near me
I mean, they do cuddles, but they don't serve them to me... they demand them from me.
does lemon belong in selyanka
My little girl has a tendency to get very underfoot, rubbing on me insistently... and if I don't reciprocate, she starts using her little needle claws to grab on with the attitude of, "YOU MUST LOVE ME RIGHT NOW!!!"
solyanka you mean?
i dont speak russian
hop on bulgarian
beat finland one time and ill pronounce it solyanka
i love dogs cause they have like 1 braincell banging around in their head usually and i relate to that
my fault gng
lmao
and they wear their likes and dislikes on their face which i also appreciate
i never put an actual lemon before but I sometimes add some juice
i thought it was the cucumbers
I want a pet bear
what kind of animal do you take me for
A black bear would be the best gaming buddy
idk man you're a britishoid now
I dunno, in my experience most cats are just as happy to show their true thoughts... even if those thoughts are not very complementary.
dude, british food is good if you close your eyes
Nah ive met cats that only subtly show that they dislike you
Calling you a monkey would be an insult to the collective intelligence of the simian race
You're closer to a brain eating worm
cats are more lowkey
the good british food is the food brought over by immigrants
Rate my shat
i love both cats and dogs
kebab 
im a nasty girl nasty im a nasty girl nasty
i prefer dogs overall tho
okay frieza
The difference is that cats domesticated themselves and see us as subserviant to them, where dogs were deomesticated by us and see us as superior to them.
Lol
simple prejudice
Maybe rate both of mine? 😉
@twin bear rate my shat
this seems fake
how do you domesticate yourself
10 out of 10 mystery meat stick material
They started hanging around humans because humans produced and accumulated things that things they preyed on wanted. Birds and rodents that wanted our growing or stored foods were attracted to humans, and because cats found their prey accumulating around us, they were attracted to us as well.
👍 nice
my laziness has been rewarded
that headline does seem sensationalist though 🤔
cats domesticated humans
Direct sun puppers 
laziness leading to verifiable information is a net positive imo lol
"only 11 am" is crazy
thats almost peak sun hours
i love the heat but no thanks lol
cant wait for cooler weather i hate being unable to keep window open
question for america
do you drink water from the tap or do you buy bottles
Anyway, y'all, I gotta bounce. Needs sleeps before work tonight.
you can do me no harm
👋 🌊
Brita pitcher. I don't buy bottles of water.
brita pitcher
depends on location, tap here, but some places have either really shitty or just unsafe tap water
kinder kind of sucks
Bottles. Our water is very hard and tastes weird
kinder does suck
but kinderjoy is peak
🤔 fair
We have a soft water system and even that doesn’t take all of it out
Water bottle
Tap water has never tasted right
steam showed me the Game devs of color expo
I clicked on it for the funz and the first thing I saw was Choo Choo survivor 2
ive never had it before but soda gives me a headache lol
If only we prioritized clean water for the entire country
yea i've seen tap that leaves a mineral coating on everything sob
hope you like texture on your dishes
Minerals yum
DMC red orb
More is better yum
Well water is something else though
On a hot day that stuff is divine 
water is everything
I think our water bottles are spring water? Idk
water is love, water is life
is that a type of fud?
bait
hydration be a baller lifestyle
im sure even america knows what kinder is
grindset fr
what does vro mean
ok vro
karl frazer
and because I dont care about genders
cool story vro 👍
just be
a person idc
what if its a rock
then I dont care either
I have a perfect meme for this but I cant share it here
rocks are sick
i think objects are pretty cool
send it in DM
"I have to go to work"
are you finally kill?
ok gurt
what
i wanna bite a zombie and infect them with me
yo gurt
yo
gurt
....
Ok Im killing you both
GURTE
guess what
you like music Gurt?
what sweetie?
chicken butt
to this
ok bro
public displays of affection in my discord? twenty eight stab wounds
Can someone remind me what the mod that allows you to speed up time in mp called
banned
thats just not how we banter in discordia
streets too tough for me i see
proud discordian
I love toxic masculinity
EMBED FAIL
True
brother
KILL THEM
quick
laugh at this user
oh wow gurt really is evil
dont let gurt into the uk
he wouldnt survive scouser banter 🙏
stabwoundmaxxing
i could forgive the geneva suggestions but toxic masculinity? bye bye
Im a villan, not a monster
i dont think its that tbh
I beg to differ
i think people just communicate diffierently in different places
am I a pretty monster at least?
very
OuO
im astral projecting in your room and i can confirm
ah your banter is fine that's just like you say it
its hard to talk to an american 🤔 because they take things differently

man.
stylus fr
hello little stylus
EMBED FAIL
Guh
HAH
<@&671452400221159444>
mini mod
is that weird stuff
yessir
Banish him to shadow realm
we have a culture of both taking things too literally and sensitively while also devaluing genuine emotions
wdym, oh wait did you think I was being serious?
its crazy
no
this is bang on though
unfortunately
they’re weird critters
be it as it is, america is just so fake lol
everything here is
it's a caricature of itself
I don’t know about all countries being fake
decent people still exist
america just doesn’t have that many
its crazy how you're the richest country in the world but you dont even have any social support, bro even estonia is better than the usa
oh yeah its bonkers
estonia fucks though, good place
"I hate this place" stays
america hasn’t been around that long, they don’t know what you’re doing yet
i know all the nordics go to estonia and latvia to get cheap booze
man this party stinks
i know youre not talking abt me here, its just a pain in the ass to leave
The booze belongs to the nords
fall of an empire any% speedrun
Well I mean, many people don't have the option to just up and leave
@surreal mirage
americans dont have passports from birth
mods r asleep
and if you dont have your original documents? good fucking luck getting one
to be fair america is huge, i dont blame em
Somebody better go wake them up then wtf
huge in terms of land area sure
Eh, I wouldn't say huge tbh
not in terms of livable space
Most of that land nobody lives in
most of the population is concentrated on the outside
Hell even in the states
Most of us are near coastal areas
you have a point and this in particular is inexcusable, passports need to be a standard universally
the us is almost a continent in itself
same with spain 🤔
i disagree
We don't need to give passports out to everyone
The US is too big
80% of this country can stay where they are
population and size wise, US is big
argueing with a mod? i sniffa mute
bigger than a lot of countires put together
You want frog to mute you?
ok but i dont think thats an excuse or reason still
Whatever floats your boat bro
i think its just cope ngl
I take pride in never abusing my authority when arguing with people
there's no reason to deny someone freedom of movement in any situation whatsoever
havent done it once
Abuse it after the argument is finished
we dont talk about the frogski incident of '25
Can't let em get away with it
and if you take population density its not like people live everywhere
I dont think its right but I think the US is one country that has some sort of reason for it
i mean that still shows quite a largely populated area
they just dont want to cause boat money
yeah but it doesnt seem unreasonable
idk
I feel this is a BS statement. They, like all nations, took a lot of infrastructure from other countries. Shoulders of giants stuff
People are gonna leave the US then complain abt the laws in the country they move in 😭
I dont think US cant give everyone passports
but i recognize that most citizens wont even use one anyway
whay about plague 🧐
Alot of ppl are unhinged
yeah i agree there
Thankies for giving me my right to speak again 
balance your humors
if china can do it i think the usa can do it
I don't want more people committing acts of terror and ruining the reputation american tourists alrdy have
they’re evolved but not in the ways that matter
theyre almost the same size
american tourists are the worst lmaooo
What does that mean
american and british tourists are crazy
that i don’t care about
What are you guys opinions on RV interior mod? Personally i love it but it seems really op sometimes 🥴
bro what lol
Gets mad they can't record a 2k yr old tomb
you are not the nice hug
you are the suite guy
inka knows
and I'm one of the clouds in the background
thats like saying russia is doing something right cause 500 people have 99% of the countries wealth, or albania is doing well cause the gas oligarchs are rich
weird logic
they are the most powerful nation
Bro pls lemme carve my name into this 2000 year old historical building, it won't hurt anyone come on brooo
depends how you measure success ig
U can be the highest level clan and have low level players
powerful in what way
Lmao
but their success will be short lived
I assure you I hold no power and my success was dead upon start
they flew too close to the sun, and they will burn for that
the worlds most dominant economic and military power

and yeah, you can be "the richest" but if only 1% of 300 million people hold all that wealth its not really a good indicator of power
yeah it will only make it worse
its the opposite
Who gonna tell bro america still dealing with massive drug trafficking and gang violence in mass
i know, they kill each other all the time
we need the population, aka the workers, the billionaires are disposable
when floods happen they jack up the food prices, when wild fires ravage towns the landlords increase rent
so idk what you're saying brother
maybe im not expressing myself properly
its a bias due to accessibility
rood >:[
the only americans who can afford to go on a holiday to europe for example are already pretty well off
Ppl see rich mfers online and think all of us are rolling in dough
U pay for a CHANCE to get a visa
We know that you own several yachts, stop lying
okay I'm sorry
I.m the guy that gets knocked over
gotta pay for documents too
crazy
it’s a shithole
why dont you go to north macedonia instead
I could go to Europe but if anything bad happens I’ll be forced to stay
2 dollar cigs bro
i dont even wanna go there
why are you going
Shithole or did u just move to the poor area
🙏 gl
i know so many people who live not just paycheck to paycheck but would be homeless from a single medical emergency, losing their job, etc
Oh yes THE shithole
Enjoy
30k in debt
too late, the yellow river will kill millions
Oh no, New York, the amount of other parts of the world they'd rip off for districts over there
id like to go there to see what ny is like, my sister used to live in brooklyn lol
im genuinely afraid i’ll have health scare and they’ll take all my money or something
I will drink it
freak
she said people are mean
im walkin here
rome, ny
It was a major rabbithole
get travel insurance?
euro friend of mine had a heart attack in the US and it genuinely ruined is life
put the pills in the bag bro
US salaries are pretty crazy tbh comparing them to european
Immigrants do be forming entire societies in nyc
he had to sell everything single thing he ever owned
Yeah I'm Chinese, I was born in China, Texas
but at the same time it somehow doesnt go as far
I will at 4pm
Because taxes and cost of living is crazy too
understandable fear, mate, i wish you well 🙏 if you do experience a medical issue i hope you can fly back to portugal and treat it sustainably
Pretty sure my take home is like 75% (before expenses, I mean)
uncle Sam wants your dimes and nickles
earn 100k spend 90
youre not wrong, we lose all of it to medical care, insurance, sales taxation, and for example cheap rent here is 2k USD a month for a studio or one bedroom
but they cant fix my pot hole road lol
Gotta have those icbms
Simply don’t go to the hospital in America
our min tax is 20%
shrimple
after allowance which is i think 12k?
Too busy funding the orphan killing machine
i had to go to the er a few years back and im self pay
that was good , very nice
Mine works out to ~23 (federal + state) but also other deductions
then its 40% for anything above 20% bracket
i think the usa pays more tax than a lot of european countries but gets none of the benefits 🤔
get knocked out and someone else calls an ambulance, you wake up in the hospital in medical debt because of laws around implied consent
thats okay
ngl id pay hella tax if it meant i got to live like finland
I'm not millions
Im in the 40% bracket for a bit of my salary
the fifth season in my state is road construction
it never fucking ends
My fears fr
“My credit score is turning out good
”
the looming threat of hospitalization
I mean i enjoy the benefits of my taxes, particularly the nhs even in its underfunded overworked state
real
yeah after that we looked at getting me insurance lol and it was so expensive we had to stop paying for it
I like libraries and shit but healthcare would be nice too
I can't believe people actually go to chiropractors
I imagine how good itd be if the govt actually gave a shit and made it work properly
Literal psycho shit
my mum buys into that stuff hard
Yeah bro, crack my spine in half
hell at some point she paid some dude to come do some energy therapy on me
Here’s $2000
he just waved his hands around my body
Crack spine please
It's literally bullshit, I don't get how so many people are conned by it
It makes zero sense
like it could be amazing, but instead tax money ends up subsidizing billionare ai datacenters which causes the electircity and water prices to go up too
literally paying taxes to become more poor
I remember one time I said “a real doctor” to mean a medical doctor instead of a chiropractor & my mom was upset about that (idt she's ever even been to a chiropractor. I think that generation is just bought-in)
We only had like 2 of those sessions, i think even she clued in that its a literal waste of money
They think it works because the myth is that it does
Back pain will make you do anything
Ngl, I'd sooner trust the TF2 medic to operate on me than a chiropractor
for all my complaints about how the UK operates generally we're pretty good
especially when I look over the ocean at the US
but the US brainrot is spreading to our country, so we may not have it for long
Thankfully my back pain isn't that bad, but it's bad enough that I get the right to rant about it constantly
medic will heal you, you just may end up with an extra limb or seven
Police don't even show up until morning in some areas
The US would be so great if it were anything like the version of it the propaganda says it is
its crazy to me that you actually cannot take a walk to a shop in the us in some places
You can, it just takes one million years
Only to clean up the bodies and open up another case that'll go cold in a month
im gonna try this Half life 2 mod for arma 3
yea lol, like going to walmart thats 3 miles away would take forever
Hopefully yall can come up with a cure so the whole world doesn’t get consumed
used to have to hitchike to go to the library
I used to walk 2.5 miles (~4km) to the nearest store
Regular walk as a teen
Not even a joke lol
dude i live in town and its like five miles to the nearest shopping area
theres a proper supermarket within a 15 min walk of me, a library within 10, a whole shopping center also within 15 mins of me, and 2 conrer shops 5 mins away
was it up hill both ways
there are no local businesses
What
Yes, of course
god when i lived in alaska i didnt have a car and would have to walk to eagle river from up a huge long ass fuckign hill
I could walk to the city center in like 30 mins max
That's wild
based omar
car culture in america ruins everything for everyone
There isn't even a hospital in this town
beesoup your town has a population anywhere from 10 to 15 thousand
I literally got like 2 or 3 shopping centres in like 5 min walking distance from my place
but again US brainrot has our gullible uneducated public protesting 5 min cities
I hate cars & I hate that I'm considering getting one due to some current lifestyle changes
My town has the states top heart hospital but nothing for trauma/breathing related issues
"Wot do u mean I can walk to anywhere i need to get to within 5 mins, thats socialism innit. Vote reform"
nah its many, many times that
Hate that for y'all
HEY i like when my sister chauffers me around
It's 32 miles aqay
insane
5 minute cities sounds cinema
So if I have a heart attack I’m Gucci but if I set my lungs on fire I’m done for 
You gotta get one of those massive American cars that they keep buying for no reason
but gosh it would be nice for trains lol
eastern european style
puppers you are not the problem everyone loves you
OR SIDEWALKS
and pLEASE more trains i love trains so much
bee frenb!
Of course, I need it to be bigger than all the other cars on the road to keep myself safe at the expense of others
my road has no fucking sidewalks lol
haii! hug
Same
yeah but facebook has told me that 5 min cities are for commies and that if we implement them we will have a 400% increase in crime and immigrants
The grass has stickers too
af riend told me to go walk down my road and im like bro i aint walking down a road that ups and everyony fly down going 60 lol
lol the god damn stickerbrurs
also did you see this image of a child in africa making the mona lisa out of plastic bottles? What do you mean ai generated
HAHHA
Facebook ahh theorists living out their moms basement
You also have to make sure to park in a way that makes your car slightly go over the lines and ruin the other parking spots
It's crucial
no thats the thing
the whole "immigrants are ruining the states" is such a crazy thing
like, brother
I am an immigrant
you are an immigrant
Well
most of these gullible facebook users are 40+
My goal will be to take up at least 3
they are too old to tell whats what anymore
Texas was revolutionized from Mexico by immigrants
So then every single person is an immigrant
revolutionised?
Cuz at one point
Knowing the history, I have no problem with immigration but rather the pace of it
U came to that place
You also have to make sure to park next to the small sedans to make it as much of a nightmare as possible for them to be able to see anything as they're trying to leave their parking spot
im also seeing some of those awful american pickups occasionally
It's also crazy because a lot of the perceptions people have are literal myths that have been debunked, such as the “crime” talking point (they commit less crime, at least in the US). But that's erm p-word
Colonized wouldn’t be correct because it was inhabited by tribal peoples prior to the 1500s when Spain discovered and made claims on it
and you can tell they arent built for most of the worlds roads
Idk the proper word
massive units that cannot park in most places
Crime is rising in the us because of criminals
ive started listening to duster
barely fit in a single lane
it's so over for me
It that way for everywhere tho tbf
Why don't they just outlaw crime
🥀
I'm so used to being taller than almost every car then you see those abominations
yeah even if we dont go into it, truly crazy indeed
Right? Crazy how we didn't ban crime yet
And they never even utilize the car properly, the most they ever haul is a few grocery bags from a shopping trip
67% of the people who signed the Texas Declaration of Independence were American with many of them having just recently immigrated from the United States
🤓 if you look at this even from a pure economic standpoint, to meet the workforce requirements constant immigration is a necessity.
its true what you said its all poopoo mythology that doesnt make sense lolol
Immigration ain’t bad but the pace needs to be kept stable
pace deez nuts in your mouth bro
Not the sour patch I was looking for
small trucks were pushed out of the market to supposedly improve government funding and promote local construction of vehicles, all it ended up doing was fucking over the epa and making everything three times bigger lol

yeah, im blue collar and anyone who actually uses a work vehicle for work uses either a reasonable pickup truck or one of those small cargo vans, the only f150 raptors i see are squeaky clean and never used for actual work
most cars in the united states are rated as SUV's for much looser emission regulations, resulting in everything getting bigger and worse for the environment anyways
No im pretty sure it was a side affect of the smog regulations. Since larger trucks have less resitirctuons they stated building them more. It mad economic sense for companies to do this
status symbol
It was fine to come over in mass when there wasn't a million ppl tryna get to where they want, now the population is far to big and we're seeing the consequences
this too
yeah its fucked up that its a result of well intentioned regulations
this is like buying second hand bmws or lines of g wagons to show off your gas money
you could be right, i dont remember the whole chicken tax thing fully, either way it was crazy
leave it to corporations to abuse every loophole for financial gain at the cost of everyone
Yeah at where I work, pretty much nobody on the job site has one of those giant American utes
you guys should see the american trucks in texas lmao, the other day one drove by let me find a pic
@icy vigil thank you
work in belgium or moldova for a few months, go back home and immediately buy a second hand bmw or mercedes
this is the way
it's why it's so difficult to push for genuine change because big corpos will take advantage of anything they can, so you can have no lax decisions, no gentleman agreements, everything has to be ironclad and it ends up hurting the people at the bottom
It's getting to a point where in a few years time, I will not be surprised to see those guys escalate to just driving actual monster trucks everywhere
Monster truck plowing though traffic to reach the Walmart
65% of Texas trucks are lifted I’d bet
The Chicken Tax & how it shaped our Pickup Truck market!

"i go now, good luck everyone else"
the older i get the more disillusioned i get with this corporate world of ours
like this , but they will have texas flags and the flgs of local high school teams lol
Yehey
where the truck nuts
id say there is barely any exaggeration that most of the worlds evil today is due to corporate greed
Pickup truck drivers are shit at driving
saw one last week and did a double take "wth was that lol"
Waving a flag isn't bad, when did this become a bad thing
where balls 
if this looks crazy i have seen many of these in the last few months
Bruh who are you talking to
I agree. I don’t know how to drive and my first vehicle will be a pickup
Nobody said that
What's wrong with the obviously destructive truck then
I knew it, YEYYY
Texas flag better
It's the overuse that makes it cringe to me
that shit is raised up high for no reason
It looks trash that's what
its not even a good flag
perfect height to blind other drivers
Missouri is better
which is probably the intention
Illegal setup btw
War
If you get a Mozambique flag on your pickup truck, I'll respect it
fr
Get an actual cool flag design on there
america is unique in that sense i would say
most countries dont put nearly as much importance on flags as the US does
Wait no
real
Mississippi
Us flag is a logo
Do ppl not realize america IS a company
Actually a tragedy since us and new Zealand got fucked over with such basic bitch flags
It sucks
I love the kyrgyz flag
All hail xbox
bro theyre almost identical
its fucking stupid
xbox land
I want actually unique flags
That wouldn't be so bad if it was a half decent flag
But it ain't
i fuck with the maori flag
I like japans flag
true shit man
The importance only goes as far as the pledge of allegiance and having it everywhere, not letting it touch the ground or burn as that’s a disrespect to veterans
I wouldn’t be surprised if most Americans only know of like 2/3 flags existence
its a good flag
oh the pledge of allegiance is also an insane thing
Most Americans don't even respect the flag so it has no meaning
that is not normal
stop blaming yourself and others Learn feng shui and blame the furniture
Yall don’t pledge allegiance to your country as a kid until adulthood?
pledge allegiance to amazon
W h a t
Tbh, that flag feels like it'd be the logo for a swimwear company
I did the whole signing the national anthem every day in kyrgystan in school as a carryover FROM THE SOVIET UNION
That is a wave
not sure if this is insincere but no brother
Its a death ritual
an actual dictatorship
real
wth
Interesting
No, I don't even know the lyrics to my country's national anthem, can't remember
I have a feeling my fictional lore abt the US is becoming real
What I can remember is that it's shit
and even then our lyrics werent along the lines of "I swear undying loyalty to my goverment!!!"
i know more of the welsh anthem than i do "my country's" anthem
like again its literally from the soviet times
I will bring these potatoes to the conscript barracks for victory
and its less "patriotic" than that
I pledge my loyalty and will gladly die for John Government
i know 0 words of the british anthem
I'll only fight for defense but idk if y'all heard but ig we're gonna pull a silly soon
understandable lol, the only time i can think where you'd sing it is football
Aren’t we always pulling silly?
i think learning national anthems and doing pledges is stupid
probably a more patriotic version anyway
Not as silly as starting another massive conflict
I can’t flip on any news about America without looking like moayi
At least in 40 years
I agree, I didn’t want to do that shit every morning

its litteral brainwashing
frog is right though, that is some ussr shit
it being annoying is the least of your worries
i looked up news and saw kissing bugs endemic and shut the browser
lol
its somehow LESS intrusive than the ussr one
how do you manage that
Kissing bugs? I thought Dengue was enough on our plate 😭
How long do you need to do the pledge for in the us
Till end of highschool, idk if they do it in college
Like how long per day or how many years?
lol yea look it up
Till the end of high school??
Yeah
its great, like the south doesnt have enough shit to kill us, here have this bug
18 years is crazy
we only had ours till i think secondary
It wasn't done for me in college, maybe in some super weird schools
again, how is it worse than in a literal soviet system
cus america isnt actually the gold guys
america is the master of propaganda
honestly a lot of things that are absolutely insane just get glossed over
it works on everyone
thats one thing they did right
if im honest, i had to sing the khmer anthem before school started but that was just kindergarten [still stupid]
the fact that america does the same for longer is insane
yet the nation is supposed to be secular
I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
says in god we trust on the dollar bill still
I had to look it up I forgot the words
god of dis dick
lmao gottem
If you asked the average American whether they think the government is truly secular they'd answer “what does secular mean”
And those who know would say no
After elementary I think most sane people just hum the words
Ian doing all that shit
its still insane that you have to do that at all
dont a large number belive America is a Christian nation founded on Christian values?
conscript the children and send them to the east, we alrdy have the means 🥀
It’s so fascinating a normal part of life for me is insane elsewhere
Really
it aint interesting to me
Certain camps of belief would say that it is a Christian nation, other certain camps would say it's secular on paper but might as well be a Christian nation with how poorly church and state are actually separated
We ain’t there yet
that is an important distinction though
following up on nk it makes me think the US aint that good at propaganda
if someone wrote a book about a fictional country where children have to pledge allegiance to the country and god every day in school, it would be seen as a far out dystopia
Were you southern? Where I grew up people said it with their chest
one views it as a restoration while the over sees it as a perversion
wait until you realize that different countries have different holidays
When I was very young not saying it made some people a little upset
but again reality especially lately is stranger than fiction
anything goes these days
But I thought my parents told me not to say the pledge so I didn't (my sister later told me that didn't happen, but I'm glad I imagined it)
Dia de los muertos but thays becoming more popular
im talking about shit like christmas and whatever
what
Clowning on my culture shock hard time 🥀
oh talking about crazy but true things
thats like almost everywhere, Chrismass
The War on Christmas is lost. The US has fallen. The grocery store worker told me “Happy Holidays.” Are we really okay, as a nation, with the Murder of God?
the fact our modern concept of santa is influenced by the coca cola corp is crazy
The teachers would get mad in elementary school if you didn’t say it
no lol
wdym
😆
I still didn't bc I was too cool
christmas isnt "almost everywhere"
if you consider almost everywhere just the western world then sure
its like expecting a non american to celebrate 4th of july
over half the world doesnt have christmas
christmas is the biggest scam ever
what the fuck is a hindu or muslim person gonna do with christmas
You could say this about plenty of holidays tbh
some do celebrate it ofc maybe with friends or its a bank holiday or whatever but yknow what i mean
Holiday, look inside: old tradition warped by consumerism
Most of asia doesnt have christmas and most of asia is most of the world
real
Black Friday isn’t even on Friday anymore
songkran is better than christmas
Central asian post soviet countries got a similar holiday, new years, but it isnt christmas
Because of Woke I bet
China has chinese new year
We have presale and then Black Friday and then Black Friday weekend and then cyber Monday which is basically Black Friday now since they let the “deals” go on for the entire week
I only started celebrating christmas when i moved to the uk
With all this and online orders + exclusive discounts to use online.. the Black Friday rush in America died
I've never celebrated Christmas
i remember going to thailand every april with my uncles for the week of new years. best memories i have with them ngl
Nor Halloween. It was interesting seeing the holidays from within a culture in which they're important while not participating
no but fr the fact coca cola influenced the world to the point where santa is now red, is crazy
Halloween is something i was excited to celebrate when I moved to the uk
Looked cool on the media
its cool for kids
I'll probably celebrate it for the first time this year bc my partner loves halloween, but idr know how
Like I don't think we're the age for trick-or-treating lol
partner
but then u got half naked cat people and grown men taking up kids candy
well, for adults instead of trick or treating halloween is an excuse for a piss up in costumes
tung
And i for one love it
this is real man
I was a mage for the halloween 2 years ago, and a knight for the halloween last year
Time to find a Halloween party to cosplay crash
idk what i wanna be this year
discord mod
ive seen almost naked mfers on the streets they need to crack down on that shit
your true form
He can't just go as himself
then it wont be a costume
China has Christmas now even no?
A lot of places have it last I saw
some people celebrate it, some dont, its not a majority holiday
I see
you gotta give them props for suffering cold temps for their costume
as i said, christmas f tier unless you do eastern european then is d tier
songkran s tier
A lot of places “have it” in the same way that a lot of places have non-native plants in greenhouses, but on a smaller scale
its not something that is widely celebrated
Like anywhere that has Christians will probably have Christmas in some form
And it's a pretty popular religion
indeed
Most post soviet states, which is a lot of the world, have new years instead
whats wrong with it bro
Its a similar kind of celebration except not religious
china is so big theres someone for everything
whut
the kids is my issue with it
We celebrate chinese new years too
what do you need elaboration on
like groups of ppl getting drunk and making stuff akward for families
🤨
kids should not be out by the time the adulst come out to party
im all for public intoxication just dont block off roads with ur antics
nvm nvm
I misunderstood this
yet they cut off the event at 10pm most of the time
but tbh the us has weird times for their nights out
it sucks ass
I think non-sexual nudity should be more normalized but I'm aware that's not a very popular take
Obviously that doesn't apply to overt sexuality
Just a relevant thought
real
RAAAHHH
im not really bothered
its an issue of how its viewed currently
well hard to make nudity on Halloween not sexual given the state of costumes
it will be seen that way due to our current standards
This is true, but acting as if (for example) bare breasts are taboo around children reinforces that idea
So it'll just be perpetuated
do people even have standards or do they just follow the leader
unfortunately that will not go away for a long time
i dont really see families and drunk chavs in the same circles
if at all
@lyric galleon finally S'd MX 14 on 6B
here trick or treating is entirely wrapped up by 7-8pm
coming from a trash city thats all u see
and earliest people go out is 8
im not really sure how this hypothetical translates to reality if at all so idk if its ever an issue
I will escape the logic of sexual breasts in my own mind and I will express my will fervently when the hivemind forms
and over the years i see less and less trick or treating in general tbh
babushka
which is kind of a shame
baba
real
babulya
doesnt help that certain groups of ppl prey on kids during this time
🤨
I think thats mostly fear mongering
Cute spooder. 20+ years of her family making webs by my front door and deck
And nothing stops adults from going with their kids, if anything it would be encouraged
13 kids went missing last year in buffalo i am fear mongered
i dont get why ppl dont go with them
u want to have kids yet spend every second trying to get away from them
Its similar to "your kids candy has razor blades/drugs in it"
its that now but with fent
when it happened maybe once if at all
bro, nobody is giving away free drugs
and thats the oldest trick in the book to steal candy from the little shit
its all bs
just stirring up controversy
Or the hypodermic needles inside of Pepsi cans. That was just silly.
But the news told me it's real so it must be
the 24 hour news cycle has had disastrous consequences on our society
anything remotely controversial must become news
24 hrs of news but barely any news
cant even read the newspapers anymore dude
how so
theyre full of crack wacko conspiracy shit
people dying from a flood and the news wants to talk abt the newest talking point on labubu
I was in high school during the coverage of the slowest car chase in history. CNN made hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars in a single day covering the story
cant even trust .org shit sometimes
mate majority of corpos still admitting to the newspapers here are old nut jobs
cdc was tweakin when covid hit
i picked up a national news and local paper at the airport and decided to chuck it after reading a few pieces
crazy
time to play some propaganda
i mean the majority of physical paper readers are older people
national is insanity
yeah made me think about what they're feeding the old folks
who lean towards these sorts of wacko conspiracies
People forget that the United States Senate literally held to hearing about video game violence. And the same people that did that are still in power today.
Mortal Kombat and Night Trap we’re literally accuse Tom of Santa floor of causing the vast majority of violence in America.
People believed it back then. People still believe it now. And all those dudes are still running things.
a lot of hate and anxiety
videogames are small fry in the grand scale of things tbh
Sorry for the typos. Voice text
its just another symptom of blaming literally anything but the actual problems
rap top 3 music
cant be held responsible if it was some boogieman's fault
US news: the children are in danger on Halloween because of drugs and predators
Cars:
its hard to use "hip hop" cause the concept of hip hop is so nebulous but rap and rnb top 3 music
vox? dam
check for cars in your kids candy!
