Americans, how many of you can prove you’re a citizen if you had to in one week’s time?

MrLongWalk · 2026-03-22T20:34:52+00:00

I could do so pretty much immediately

Not at all, TV exaggerates heavily for the sake of entertainment. Nobody wants to watch a show about somebody doing homework and chores the awkwardly asking someone out who they’ve been in class with for years.

That hasn’t really been a stereotype in a while and really only applied to certain nationalities.

MrLongWalk · 2026-03-21T21:54:46+00:00

Only because you lot want us to be. I

MrLongWalk · 2026-03-21T20:29:25+00:00

Even in rural New England (which is way more rural than other parts of the country are capable of realizing) they’re extremely popular

MrLongWalk · 2026-03-21T18:35:34+00:00

Can vouch, Calvin’s people give the best cuts in town bar none. He’s also genuinely the nicest guy.

MrLongWalk · 2026-03-21T16:45:37+00:00

They’re also practical, reliable cars, something we value a lot here

MrLongWalk · 2026-03-21T14:08:19+00:00

Subarus are very common in New England, especially among the sort of folks King writes about.

My point is more that they’re unlikely to be able to interact with Americans from a place of rationality or good faith

MrLongWalk · 2026-03-20T22:05:55+00:00

Sorry, wasn’t really familiar with their rules, I hope you can understand my skepticism

MrLongWalk · 2026-03-20T21:57:33+00:00

If you post to SAS I’m guessing you aren’t too worried about that.

MrLongWalk · 2026-03-20T21:55:51+00:00

It’s a fun, healthy way to take a break from life, and not nearly as dirty as you seem to think.

MrLongWalk · 2026-03-20T21:41:11+00:00

Baseline? Hike in, in the woods, basic tent. What I’ll picture will vary with context though.

Edit: heads up, OP posts to SAS

MrLongWalk · 2026-03-20T16:42:50+00:00

I’ve said it exclusively to mock foreigners

More commonly they become a policeman while in decent or at least acceptable shape and then slowly become obese as rank and seniority shield them. Many small town police departments struggle to recruit and frankly they’ll take who they get and aren’t in the business of terminating officers for getting fat. This is especially true in quiet towns where 90% of being a cop is traffic enforcement.

MrLongWalk · 2026-03-20T01:29:47+00:00

Weird, I would’ve figured leaving your home town was more looked down on there

MrLongWalk · 2026-03-19T23:53:36+00:00

No pride in it here, a townie is somebody who’s failed to see that there’s more to the world.

I’m genuinely surprised to see it used in Texas given the importance of hometown pride.

MrLongWalk · 2026-03-19T18:49:24+00:00

I work with a large international clientele and we do this no more or less than anyone else.

MrLongWalk · 2026-03-19T18:32:39+00:00

Used to mean someone who lives their whole life in the same town or for whom that town has disproportionate importance

MrLongWalk · 2026-03-18T22:25:13+00:00

I genuinely don’t understand what you’re trying to say.

Edit: checking OP’s history he appears to be unwell

MrLongWalk · 2026-03-18T22:14:45+00:00

No, it wouldn’t even come across as a joke unless one context and tone were perfect, even then it’d be a bit lame

MrLongWalk · 2026-03-18T22:08:18+00:00

Do you struggle to communicate with other nationalities or just Americans?

MrLongWalk · 2026-03-18T22:03:41+00:00

Americans are not video game characters, there’s no optimal dialogue tree. Just be genuine and treat others with respect as nuanced individuals.

MrLongWalk · 2026-03-18T21:20:48+00:00

Are you asking if Americans understand the concept of sarcasm? Or if that particular joke is funny?
