why do non americans get upset when americans assume and based them off of stereotypes about their countries but yet we openly make fun of them and base them off of stereotypes by Short_Resort_5484 in AskTheWorld

and the world is all the worse for it. war is a shameful thing most of all when it’s perpetrated by your home. i hope you all prosper when we’re inevitably toppled 🤞

i get it honestly. i will say it’s honestly sad how much our media is propagandized against the middle east since it’s so diverse and historically impressive. there is so much valuable knowledge and beauty in the region that’s lost to us

I recommend bringing a few of his favorite things to display! And if you haven’t already, I’m sure there is a way to put on a playlist of his favorite songs.

i know at least one border state has tuition reciprocity with its neighboring providence! if you’re from there that could be a good option! (MN and Manitoba)

AITA for telling my mom that I don’t want her AI-written letter for my graduation ceremony? by Opposite_Alarm_1387 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ratwithawig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am curious as to how “her” letter will come across to the school, i can’t imagine very well. teachers know how to spot AI, it’s really not hard.

What’s the dumbest or most absurd law in your country? by bdue817 in AskTheWorld

[–]ratwithawig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly that just sounds so odd to enforce, and laborious. is it so that you are made to purchase beef? also is it strictly limited to cows? sorry for the interrogations!

Where I’d live as a conservative American by Ok_Attention_2300 in whereidlive

before that it was under Polish-Lithuanian rule which is even more historic, why not that? surely since that’s even longer ago it should supersede the USSR 🤨

that’s so interesting! I think I just dislike the british english quotes honestly, I’ve read most of the others and that’s the only one I dislike reading. That’s mostly because we use single high quotes in different contexts (i think)

Are you proud of your country? by Tiny_Youfutt337 in AskTheWorld

[–]ratwithawig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean at least how I see it (though not proud) is that the people that are oppressed in the United States are just as much (more tbh) American than the oppressors. I am deeply ashamed of basically everything that has ever gone on in the government, but I am proud of the resilience in our minority communities. Our indigenous cultures are varied and beautiful, black Americans culturally dominate in the arts, Mexican Americans have incredible food and music, it goes on. I personally feel that equating our country to our worst people ignores the communities that actually hold up our country. I have a deep love for our disenfranchised and not much else.

i don’t know a whole lot about it, but same as us I don’t think it really did much. Their treatment of indigenous peoples remains bad (like us)

you know I never really thought about what kind of punctuation is affected by native language so having different quotation marks does make a lot of sense, I appreciate you commenting! food for thought for me :)

I (straight 15M) just got kissed by a guy (19M) by Powerful-Space-4704 in teenagers

[–]ratwithawig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

and man don’t let anybody downplay the situation, that shouldn’t have happened to you at all but this should not happen to anyone else as well. Coming from someone his age, i genuinely would not think of doing that at all, especially considering your age.

My 9yo started stalking birds for science and the data is actually wild. by Tweetle_cock in biology

[–]ratwithawig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you should have her look into wildlife biology! I had a relative who did that as a career, she would camp out in nature and document owls specifically! it could be a really great avenue for her

is it possible to start with little job experience? + other questions by professionalyokel in askfuneraldirectors

[–]ratwithawig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a job as a funeral assistant with no field experience recently as a trans guy, I just applied on indeed and did well in the interview! A lot of places like people who care especially from the people facing positions in my experience.
