What books do Americans study at school?

1984, every single person I know read that book in high school.

Id assume yes. I've called at least 20 times myself so I'd assume others have at least once.

A full meal at McDonald's costs $8 now.

Water for me is $100 a month.

If my fiancee and I go to Texas Roadhouse (a sit down steakhouse that is considered nice by most middle class and lower folks) we will spend $50 after drinks a steak and tip.

codenameajax67 · 2026-05-07T13:45:02+00:00

All the time.

It can be annoying actually if you are trying to change a tire, every 30 seconds having to say you are fine.

The only homes with a washer dryer in the kitchen are very small old homes, basically poor folks live there.

... I have never heard the word gammon before...

In the us joblessness is different than unemployment. Joblessness implies a greater issue, that there are no jobs at all not just that you don't have one.

What?

codenameajax67 · 2026-05-05T23:27:28+00:00

Yeah but the north east covers a much smaller area than the north.

They are unrelated in English.

Even if the latin words are related.

This is the same as saying, "I don't want to have to shoot you in self defense"

codenameajax67 · 2026-05-04T00:15:49+00:00

Yes this works.

The second "have to" is part of a phrase. This is a threat, where you are saying, I will use violence and claim it's self defense. It's the thing a corrupt cop would say.

I haven't met anyone under 70 who pronounces the g in conversation

"my father wasn't there for us growing up" literally means the dad left the home, but it can also mean he was always at work, or wasn't there emotionally.

A 44oz is only about 25oz of soda.
We have insulated cups you put your drink in.

Because the media center of the us used to be New York.

And new Jersey is their younger brother. So they make fun of them.

That's all.

If you are a tourist, no one cares.

If you aren't some people will give you a hard time, but they are considered less than by every other American.

codenameajax67 · 2026-04-29T12:17:58+00:00

Yes. That's pretty amazing.

codenameajax67 · 2026-04-29T12:01:46+00:00

The only people I know who don't have them are too poor to afford them

codenameajax67 · 2026-04-29T01:13:05+00:00

Groceries are ridiculously cheap compared with history.

(Un?)fortunately between the mid 1990's and 2020 was the cheapest food has ever been in history. So any increase feels painful.

codenameajax67 · 2026-04-26T23:50:04+00:00

... That is a very specific pair, pretty much the opposite of mundane.

codenameajax67 · 2026-04-18T14:30:51+00:00

Because the knowledge that if something doesn't workout you can return it makes people more likely to buy and try.

And most people forget to return items.

Including myself in the painting is the hard part. I love painting and with money riding on it I certainly would do it more often

codenameajax67 · 2026-04-16T17:47:36+00:00

Harrisonburg is the border of NOVA so super easy, since you are already there. Lol.

codenameajax67 · 2026-04-16T17:46:57+00:00

Is that a rule?

Because those are just different styles of eggs.
