Odd sunglasses wearing style?

It's dirty lungs and the stench of smoke ruining a beautiful moment is what it is

We are all impoverished in America. That lady in the dress, man. God damn.

Yes, please lump all of us into the same category of ignorant hicks. I mean we are all so alike.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Couldn't the same be said about Americans calling them Europeans? Heck, even within Italy alone there is a lot of variation.

It is natural that you stereotype, ESPECIALLY in a sarcastic instance like yurop

You mean how you just called people from the United States Americans? Maybe you forgot about Central and South America? There are 35 countries on this side of the pond. Also, there is a LOT of variety in the US. We have over fifty dialects and arguably more. We have people that are native German speakers (with several unique dialects and daughter languages, Latinos that are native Spanish speakers (along with many dialects and daughter languages from many countries as well), Native Americans with MANY cultural and linguistic differences from Alaska to South America.

I promise you no one from outside of the USA refers to themselves as American, without any other qualifiers. Referring to indigenous groups is also a disingenuous argument- in my experience if you ask one they are likely to self identify as the name of their specific tribe.

Are you stupid? How am I supposed to call people from the US?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americans

Are there some other magic definitions?

[–] [email protected] -3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Yep, I see name calling instead of intellectual discourse is your go to retort. Thanks for the enlightened conversation.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

The fact that you attacked my argument because I used the (correct) word Americans already indicates you are not interested at all in any conversation. So yeah, I don't want to have one either with someone in such bad faith

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Okay but what do you call a person from the US?

The vast majority of the world refers to the United States when they say "American". Not even talking about "Americas/"America"

Americans understand tourist traps better than anyone.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago

I hate to break it to you bud but walkable streets are built all over the world. This isn't a tourist trap this is just what non car centric cities look like.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

It's not for tourists, those places are packed of locals too

Nah, we know about drugs in public. Silly Billy
