The stuff about Canadians being so nice is just a weird stereotype, but as stereotypes go, being accused of being "nice" is probably one of the more tolerable ones.

I'm curious tho, what's the general consensus on us swedes? According to Polanball we're a bunch of homosexual Muslims, but I dunno if that is representative of the general picture.

Your furniture is nice, and your meatballs aren't anyone's first choice but no one really hates them. And all your people are either sexy blonde ladies or dudes in metal bands.

They make you watch a video about SIDS and the proper ways to lay a baby down to sleep before jury duty here. It's meant as a way to ensure that people from all walks of life will see it, but testimonials from grieving parents are a little hard to take when it's 730 in the morning and you have an exciting day of jury duty selection ahead of you.

If you're thinking about listening to Bruce Springsteen, you should probably listen to early Tom Waits instead. He has the whole washed-up drunken regret thing locked, and does a lot of fun, inventive stuff besides. I suppose Tom Waits' butt on an album cover probably wouldn't sell as many records, though.

My maternal grandparents came to the US from Poland between the world wars, basically as refugees. My cousin, who grew up hearing the same terrible stories about their experiences as I did, has been posting anti-immigration/refugee memes and talking about America for Americans for months now.

I know we're a few generations removed from that, but jfc.

This kinda poo poo is totally my jam. Where some crazy posts a screed to the completely wrong person because they share a similar name.





Anyone remember the one where a dude shared a name with someone kinda famous that got arrested/convinced of like child molestation or something. Tons of folks were blowing up some poor dude Facebook.

That may have been a sportscaster in my area by the name of Gerry Sandusky, who is no relation to the Jerry Sandusky of Penn State and child molestation. He's apparently had a rough few years.

Has anyone ever done a prank social experiment where they get a one sided US flag, and lay it on the ground upside down in a public place.

Then they could mercilessly assault anyone they chose with the full support of true patriots

I always wonder what people who go on and on about ARE FLAG think about like, American flag bikinis. Surely getting Ol'Glory all bunched up in your taint is just as offensive as letting it touch the ground?

Anyway, AVClub comments may be cheating, but this made me roll my eyes a little. A short article about Nick Cave releasing a new album/concert film originally had the headline "Move over, Beyonce: Nick Cave is doing a Lemonade for creepy white dudes". Kinda dumb, but whatever, cool news. Cue this sort of thing:







They changed the headline, but those are some bristly (and probably creepy) white dudes.

My boyfriend has a birthmark on his neck that looks like a really fresh, angry hickey. People assume I'm either a sex fiend or a vampire when they notice it for the first time.

I was "scouted" by a modeling agent at 15 or so, and my mom made me go to the agency to check it out because she saw dollar signs for college. At the time, I was a 5'11, 120 lb bag of bones, and, after stripping down to my bra and underwear to get measured by a scary middle aged lady, was told I had potential, but I'd need to lose ten pounds before they'd sign me. I don't think I could have done that and like, lived, and fortunately my mom agreed. Still kinda hosed me up. I love fashion, but it's a terrible industry.

My mom recently cut contact with a lifelong friend because she apparently can't talk about anything but Amway anymore. It's a shame, I always thought she was such a cool lady when I was growing up.

The only MLM person on my feed is into Herbalife. She's an award-winning chef who has taken a ton of nutrition classes, I have no idea what's come over her. She used to post food porn, now it's just bottles of algae. And selfies meant to show how well it's working, despite the fact she looks exactly the same (and still overweight) in all of them.

I used to sometimes go to this store, Loehmann's, which was sort of an upscale version of places like TJMaxx and Marshalls. Weirdly, the dressing room was one big space with mirrors everywhere, and you tried on clothes in front of a bunch of other women. When camera phones started becoming a thing, they started demanding that everyone shut their phones off in front of an employee before going in, because they had had problems with women photographing other women and then selling the photos to creeper websites. I don't ever remember seeing that on the news either.

I usually buy pink stuff (pens, bottle openers, whatever) because I found nobody steals them.

I used to have a wonderful gay porn lighter I bought for this exact reason. Hold it in your hand for like thirty seconds, the fireman's pants disappeared and it was boner city. May have been the only lighter I ever had that I had to replace because it ran out of fuel, not because someone accidentally pocketed it.

The "white heritage" thing is ridiculous for a lot of reasons, not least that it's blatantly untrue. There are scholarships available for people of just about any European heritage (I myself was able to apply for German, Polish and Lithuanian ones). My city has Greek, Russian, Irish and Italian festivals (as well as more I'm sure I'm forgetting), plus a German Christmas market, all of which feature traditional food, music, dancing, crafts, etc., and I'm sure larger cities have even more than that. I realize that a lot of the people who complain about Black History month or Chinese New Year parades or whatever live in places where the biggest cultural event is a sale at Walmart, but come the gently caress on.
