How does the World view America these days?

My experience from playing Far Cry 5 is becoming far more relevant than I had ever imagined.

I lived in Montana once, but that was during most of George H. W. Bush's presidency. But that was well before it was crawling with yee-yee mujahideen.

pastor locke is tired of this mask wearing b.s by "doing everything I could, spiritually, not to come over the counter, and still be a pastor in public, because I’m sure there are cameras everywhere because people recognize me all over the place.”

At around 3:33 he pleads to Jesus to give him patience and then says he's not a sheep. But if he's part of a church then he's in a flock. A flock of sheep. That's literally what they call it in church.

The cognitive dissonance is strong in this one.

totally. also, i'd say the culture of large police forces is totally fucked up and full of under developed frontal lobes. i'd say plenty of cops are being taught to bring this kind of sport into the daily work of being a cop. competitive abuse and oppression. essentially dehumanizing those who are outside the embrace of the police force... and of course 40% of police wives or is it 60%.. i can't recall.

^ that's what the Republicans are promising ^

The reality is that it will turn out to be half a set of headphones, a 1oz Binaca style bottle for hand sanitizer, a vest that looks like Kevlar but it's only a decal they put over a sweater, and a mask that fits over your mouth or your nose, but not both at the same time. Oh you'll still have stationary stuff but it's all left handed.

The phone will be a Nokia.

Even though the rate of Karen/Kevin nonsense is going through the roof in the US right now, my one remaining hope is that the more it happens in public the more likely onlookers will make the correct association that these people are complete idiots, that their actions are unacceptable and that those idiots are exactly who Trump is targeting with his message. 

FYI, I had to choose between this thread, the Trump thread, and the Florida thread (I could have possibly even chosen the coronavirus thread)... but this kind of thing just screams how our country is a real shit stain right now.

I haven't been to PA since the mid-90s, but I hear that it's basically Pittsburgh and Philly with Alabama in between. And if the guy was Black the cops would have preemptively emptied their magazines into him.

We’ve had a run on cash at several of the bank ATMs in our neighborhood, today the line was crazy long, like there was a panic.

Cajun and Creole cuisine is nice. There is lots of good black/post-slave/post-segregation culture in the US. Let's not forget immigrant culture. Mexican food there is very good, good Chinese too. USA
