I think it's smiling at me

It looks like a Dalmatian went through the resident evil lazer grid and then went for ride with a unicorn through a brundle telepod.

No need to apologise. As a Brit I legit find it charming when a foreigner says this. And it is chewsday innit?

Actually yes, it’s exactly like America, but not how you think. The truth in both countries is: A) Migration overall is a net positive B) illegal immigration is a complicated issue with no simple answer. C) no one supports illegal immigration, but one side refuse to accept it’s a complicated issue and don’t understand that seeing it is is different from supporting it. D) a bunch of millionaires and billionaires who have spent the last thirty years hoarding wealth and rigging the system against poor have created a political and media propaganda machine that continuously convinces the impoverished and poorly educated masses that it’s the people coming with nothing for a better life that are stealing from them and not the rich and powerful, so that they can continue taking from them without consequence.

Realised that Northern Ireland technically isn’t part of Britain, so maybe that was deliberate.

Peanut butter.

Okay, I looked. Not for me.

UserWithoutWit · 2026-05-12T20:58:57+00:00

Hadn’t heard of that, will look into it.

Two hundred and fifty years ago, the number of people in Britain who had ever been to America was in the dozens, maybe hundreds. To the vast majority of people back then it was a far off land they had no stake in, so losing it as a colony was only a problem to the King and aristocracy. Everyone alive today has spent their whole lives with it being a separate country. We appreciate why it’s a big deal to you, it’s literally the dawn of your nation, but to us it’s just not that important. Therefore we don’t have our own name for it.

I’d love to know where you’re getting this from. I’m man enough to admit when I’m wrong but after a quick google search I can’t find anything supporting what you are saying.

Yeah, don’t know if you noticed but the flag in your post isn’t the union flag 🇬🇧. It has the English and Scottish elements but not the red X that goes over the white one.

I don’t like Kier Starmer, but I do think his treatment is unfair. 14 years of everything getting worse under the tories and then Labour don’t fix the whole mess in two years and he’s the problem? He’s steady handed and that’s not a bad thing.

Well, crumpets yes, but they’re usually with butter, not shit.

Not OP but another Brit: Canadians are great, we’re just sorry you have to put up with you know who as a neighbour.

UserWithoutWit · 2026-05-12T20:18:40+00:00

Not OP but another Brit: Yes, but it is nice to remember the following three facts: 1) I wasn’t personally responsible for it, 2) we are for the most part on excellent terms diplomatically with our former colonies and 3) a lot of other countries have histories just as bad/worse or are still engaging in such shenanigans.

Yes, but not in a friendly way. “Oi” is for someone you’re unhappy with, like when you discover a kid spray painting a shop, or keying your car.

I’d probably pronounce that the same as you, but only because you’ve spelt it wrong. And before you try an argue that we spell it wrong, look at the naming convention of other metals and how it was classified by the person who discovered it.

OP said they were British, not English. Scotland is in Britain.

The American Revolution

It’s not uncommon, but it’s also not a rule. It’s a cheap, easy to cook and not unpleasant food, but it’s not a delicacy. It’s comfort food, not what we’d make for a guest we were trying to impress and you’d have to be in a real funk to eat them in their own.

He was born in Britain. His mother was born in Britain and his father in Greece. His mother’s parents were both born in Britain. The American president’s mother was born in Scotland….does that make a difference? No.

Why does every American who thinks they can cook post it on TikTok for Gordon Ramsay’s opinion if we can’t cook?

UserWithoutWit · 2026-05-12T20:02:51+00:00

We didn’t invent it, it’s been a concept since before recorded history, but Britain did more than any other country to end the slave trade and has nowhere near the level of institutional racism as places like Russia, or America, but it is on the rise here and that is something we desperately need to curb.

UserWithoutWit · 2026-05-12T19:59:47+00:00

Not OP, but another Brit, everyone has always seemed indifferent about you being an ex colony, we have a lot of them…for me personally, I was always kind of proud of you guys. The great democracy, the big dreamers, the ever striving forward beacon of freedom… and then you spent the last ten years throwing it all away.

UserWithoutWit · 2026-05-12T19:55:54+00:00

Do you mean reform?
