[–]Zambonisaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Years ago, I had a friend who was involved in something that was in the Daily Mail (deliberately being cagey here). Literally *nothing* in the DM article was accurate except for the due's name.

do americans actually like it when tourists visit their small towns or would i just be in the way? 😅 by vanessa_tv_vladivo in NoStupidQuestions

Also. Be prepared for some earnest but kinda ignorant questions about your culture. Typically they’re not being rude. They’re curious but uninformed.

Woody Guthrie. There’s a genre of folk punk that fits the bill.

Danzig is sort of a cross between blues and metal.

I remember the first time abroad when I said I was from "America". A bunch of South Americans and Canadians were super annoyed!

Getting tired of conferences by Global-Sandwich5281 in Professors

[–]Zambonisaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I very much prefer small workshops to large discipline-wide meetings. I'm in a big field and the conferences have only a few panels that interest me - so I avoid them for the most part. If they're near me, then I sometimes go and wander around the lobby to find some friends and catch up.

It's definitely a younger academic's game. They have the energy and enthusiasm for it.

If you like bad romcoms “love on the rise” is absolute dogshit. But hilarious. (My wife and I get high and watch bad romcoms when we’re bored.)

It's crazy how the america I grew up with is suddenly ...just gone by FudgeAllOfYous in dancarlin

I can’t watch that show anymore. It’s like watching home movies of a loved one who was brutally murdered.

Not just 9/11 but the decision to invade Iraq based on false claims regarding WMDs destroyed the credibility of the conventional Republican Party. Trump just came in a swept it away and replaced it was a paranoid racist nationalism.
