Necessity may be the mother of invention, but its father is laziness. Procrastination is what separates us from the animals.

I do not authorize my posts to be used for AI training unless you want your bot to be a dipshit.
Is that the full saying? Either way, I'm stealing it.
Reminds me of my dad's favourite - Great minds think alike but fools seldom differ.

The way he was talking I was expecting that -9 was in Kelvin.

That was literally the whole point of the NotAllAmericans tag, but ok.

Anyway, good luck, stay safe and, even though the world is pissed at you, know that we also wish godspeed to those of you fighting the good fight.

But I also knew lots of British people and grew up on its media. So I had an affection for the British too. Both things can be true. I saw how they oppressed their own people and mine. There was solidarity. So when someone bashed the Brits I agreed macroly but not microly.

The same is true here.

So we can never blame a nation for its wrongs. We have to explicitly name the specific individuals and groups responsible each and every time? That's not how it works or has ever worked.

Let me explain it this way. I grew up pretty anti-British given everything that was going on. 1/x

We as a nation let that happen. We as a nation have that stain on our souls.

Yes. All the way yes.

No. This actually has nothing to do with your internal affairs. This is simply that America voted twice for this man who is putting us on the brink of war so the rest of the world is sick of it.
But yes, NotAllAmericans.
