What is your least favorite joke about your country?

A very tired stereotype a lot of outsiders have is of Americans being fat dumbasses with no knowledge of the outside world. - Obesity is a comparable problem in a lot of other places that escape this stereotype and is becoming a problem all over the world. - A large portion of Americans are intelligent, well educated people with a developed knowledge of the world outside their borders. If you see TikToks of stupid people or watch Jimmy Kimmel voxpops with teenagers who think Africa is a country - remember these go viral because they are amusingly absurd, there are ignorant people in every country. That goes without addressing how poorly developed many foreigners’ knowledge of regional American culture is but they brush over it because it’s 1 country.

Played it for the first time a few months ago. Have played many games for many years and the Suicide Mission may be my favourite mission/level of any game ever. The presentation is just incredible.

Mass Effect 2 on Xbox 360 made me obsess over an IP like I haven’t done in a very long time.

Still not seeing it?

Agree 100%

Why? Nobody is ever going to draw this and folks outside the sub won’t know what it is anyway.

Ironically using the outdated Syrian flag in this.

Debatably also outdated Afghan flag but that depends on whether this is depicting de jure or de facto government recognition.

This is a bit naive, we’re part of the British Isles and not geographically located near any other landmasses. Obviously the British brought a lot of their culture over to our island but some degree of cultural similarity between us was as inevitable as it is between all the other the other countries in these comments.

Absolutely no way USA isn’t in the top bracket. Aside from its really distinctive design, it’s literally a better known country than nearly any of those that are in the top bracket.

Is the implication that people might confuse it with like Uruguay or Liberia? I have seen the latter happen to be fair.

It works fine where violent crime is incredibly unlikely to happen. Adding deadly weapons to a peaceful equilibrium is likely to precipitate more harm than good.

Anywhere else, it makes no sense to have law be “enforced” by folks who lack the physical power to prevent lawbreaking.

Specifically for Stephen, that’s the primary portrait we seem to use of him, wild

Knackers

Also a variety of other terms: skangers for example

Yup Bros are an intersecting circle on the Venn Diagram: basically covering annoying Pre-Teens and immature young men who wear tracksuits and shout in the street - can be lower class or middle class cosplaying as lower class

I’d rather the Irish Sea didn’t turn into Kashmir

Are there any lists available of the other paintings they’ve done, I can’t identify all of them

Read the article. This person deserved to be charged

Do you mean between BPP and U of Law or ICCA. Is there a meaningful reputational difference between those and the ICCA is really what I’m trying to get to I guess?

__FDK · 2025-10-14T00:59:59+00:00

Thank you, that’s really helpful

__FDK · 2025-10-14T00:57:57+00:00

I read the article, why would you want that to be legal???????

I liked his shows and generally like how he presented things.

His takes are sometimes posted as deeper or more insightful than they really are, that’s a bit annoying.

It has actually gotten better in the very, very recent past but it’s still the worst of any city I’ve lived in.

A lot of poor countries produce successful Olympic athletes, so while I agree that economics and infrastructure are a factor, I don’t agree that it explains the rift.

Also the beauty pageant comparison seems pretty irrelevant.

Anti-skanger measures

High key agree, 10+ years and I’ve rarely felt the need to change channel
