That’s a vintage McDonald’s pic right there

unmanageable crowds

Oh wow. Even with timed entry

I would’ve said the tanning obsession, for health reasons, but that’s changed over the years.

Same, but I was born in the U.S. to parents who legally immigrated. I know we’re not being targeted right now, but I just worry about the possibility of going to war with China in the future. There were Japanese internment camps after all.

Honestly it’s way catchier than 50501 lol. Gets right down to the essence of what America is.

Always sad when one of our music heroes dies. RIP to one of the world’s greatest songwriters and a true inspiration for those dealing with mental illness.

And he HATES Donald Trump lol. Newsom’s been spitting fire in the news. It certainly feels like things have finally gotten personal for him.

Just saw that there’s !writing@hexbear.net too, which has the largest number of subscribers. But Lemmy.world has that instance blocked, so you would need a different account to access it

Probably !writing@beehaw.org ?

Yeah, and then you have the distraction of people looking in the mirror because of lights behind them. Especially seeing lights behind you at night thinking it’s a police car

Wow. This is totally the type of shit my mom would send.

Activity🐶 :p

Idk but it’s regarded as “asian cheese” lol. I put the jar in the fridge and it’s such strong brined chili stuff that I’ve never had it spoil on me. Just be careful with using a clean spoon every time. I eat a bit on the side with rice, as a condiment moreso. You just eat a smidge at a time because it’s really salty and strong, you’re not supposed to eat huge gobs of it (think anchovies or horseradish). Koreans will put it in sauce and soups too. But I’m Chinese-Vietnamese and eat it straight.

Cops at my hospital are all in overtime. They bring in inmates for psych holds/psych eval. Then they act pushy and want us to give the patient shots for unjustified reasons, just so they can sit and watch movies without being bothered.

At least put Amsterdam on there😂

Also popular is renting a car in CA and then driving around there, to Vegas and some other national parks (a la Grand Canyon, Yellowstone and Utah’s).

In addition to what everyone else said, I like tagging instance admins too. Only my instance admins are highlighted (red), but I like to know an admin when I see one in the wild lol.

Most of the time, I’m just relying on my total upvote/downvote count towards the user account to get some sense of who they are.

When that realization moment happens, it’s like flipping a switch. Like losing steam, getting past the anger. I tend to get quiet and actually listen/empathize instead of trying to win the argument. I also quiet down due to feeling ashamed of being wrong. I have no problems saying “sorry” if that’s the case.

Just keep in mind, you may have this perception because the Americans you see are happy and on vacation lol. They’re traveling to another country, which selects for confidence and curiosity.

Crazy. See FDR got away with it, they would stage photos and prop him up, cover the wheelchair with a blanket. But that’s impossible now that social media is a thing.
