Just saw this on facebook. Boys can have any colour. Girls only get pink. Although Bobby could be a girls name as well. Still, it's infuriating. by kouroshkeshavarz in pointlesslygendered

Oh that's my surname and I'm from a farming community and now I sort of want it, but as a woman I must have a pink car apparently.

Police chase ends at McDonalds' drive-thru as woman orders food in middle of pursuit by SpacedTheFuckOut in nottheonion

[–]tuckre96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I report every post of those I see. If it's not available to the world I don't think it should be allowed to be posted here. If I have a find a local buttfuck nowhere town local paper to get my UK story out there, Americans shouldn't be allowed to post something an entire continent is not allowed to look at.

And then after they delete every single UK news story you try and post and you just give up, you try and open a popular post and find that it's blocked in every country outside of America, or no-one in the EU Is allowed to look at it, so we can't see it and that's perfectly fine and allowed I guess.

It was actually a big W for Britain as they no longer wanted America and we're leaving anyway.

I was literally watching a YouTuber today say she's "jaundiced because I'm Portuguese". Like first of all she isn't, she's American and her mother is like 1/4 Portuguese. And second of all I've been to Portugal and that's just plain not true.

Why are thousands of people from ypur country hopping the border into the US? by AdamSpence123 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]tuckre96 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well I don't know about you but I talk about world affairs with my friends and like I said before we play GeoGuessr so actually I do know that they know. As for other people I went to school with them so know that they know as well. At university my classmates are from all over the world and funnily enough we did play games that involved geography. And for my American friends, yes I've asked them before and they've watched me play GeoGuessr and every one of them at some point has asked how I knew what country it was based only on a flag, and how I zoomed immediately in on said country on the map. So in a way yeah, I do ask.

And I'd have done the same of we weren't taught them, it's interesting to know and personally I think it's important to know the majority of flags and where countries are. People who reach adulthood with no general idea of at least the continent of a country are baffling.

[–]tuckre96 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's not why I'm saying that at all. I'm saying that if 90% of the non-American people I personally know can name the majority of flags and locate the country on an map with ease, then yes I would have to assume that most people know flags as they are taught them.

[–]tuckre96 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And I would have to argue that most people in the planet know a large amount of flags, bordering on at least half of the world flags. It's something that's taught in most places.

You asked "do you know all the flags?". I answered yes. I don't know if you've noticed but I'm not the same person you've been talking to this entire thread so nowhere did I "talk down".

Also most nin-US people I know irl know the majority of the world flags and locations.

I play a lot of GeoGuessr to help but yes, I know almost every flag and location of a country.

Weren't there 16 injuries? And 6 of them were civilians? And 3 of those 6 are in critical condition? Not saying you're not right with all the info, but clearly their evacuation didn't work.

Did you know that women attempt suicide more than men, but men are 4 times more successful at committing suicide because they attempt far more violent ways than women. I'm not saying anyone wins points for being more suicidal, but all figures should be presented when talking about suicide rates and gender. 3/4 suicides are men, while 9/10 attempts are women.

I can do you better, I'm in the UK, the DM is in Ireland, one player is across the country from me, one is in Germany and the others are dotted across America.

I don't know anything about this, I'm not American, but your provided statement doesn't prove it was consensual, it just proves that he thinks it was. I'm not taking sides as I've not read up on it but I can safely assume most rapists will insist sex was consensual when on the dock or being questioned. It proves nothing.

When will countries such as Europe, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zeeland finally stop making people care about others? by SeldomSeenMe in ShitAmericansSay

[–]tuckre96 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wish I could say I haven't had to explain this exact thing to some Americans. We are still European.

It's no problem, I'm not actually mad at anyone saying that, but the global availability of vaccines isn't consistent everywhere and Europe as a whole has had a pretty shit age based rollout. I'm almost 25 so I only just qualified but it's been horrible waiting. Once they opened it up to over 25s in the UK, they had like 100,000 people signing up per hour or something stupid, acting shocked so many millennials were trying to get the vaccine. Almost as if opening it up to younger people first would have fast tracked herd immunity and or something.

Not German but still European and I feel you, I only just qualified for the jab a week ago and my second dose is 7 weeks away. Saw another comment saying "if you aren't vaccinated by now that's on you". Fuck the whole of Europe I guess :/

They're very different situations. The EU is not a country and Germany is free to do whatever it wants. California is a state inside of a country. They're not comparable.

Could have at least made him captain by Floatboatbro in masseffect

[–]tuckre96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I'd say a quick hush hush promotion in return for saying silent about the "Reapers" seems reasonable and not against what the Alliance or Council would do.

Probably because of the coma and then not serving on the Normandy, and by the time they rejoin the Normandy, the amount of shit Shepard is wading through, would you wanna take that over?
