Tbf opioid highs are the best feeling you'll ever have and if you do enough you won't even notice when your life falls apart.

I’ve heard fentanyl gives you a fake plastic bullshit high with no euphoria and it lasts like an hour. you can’t get heroin anymore either. it’s like… uh, idk. HFCS? microplastics?

- no central e-government website to do various things, instead have to log on to city, county, state, tristate, private public partnership websites for different (or same) things

No I mean the actual definition of temperature is incompatible with the idea of there being negative temperatures and the reason Kelvin (or Rankine lmao) is necessary is as our understanding of thermodynamics increased this discrepancy became irreconcilable with the math associated with these fields. Celcius is just as made up and dumb unit of temperature measurement as farenheight is. If a country was using a scale with absolute zero they could get smug about it but afaik none do, everyone just uses something arbitrary that made sense at the time of invention for whatever reason and stuck around due to convenience.

comparing the us to the WHO european region, it has about twice as many cases of food poisoning. the WHO european region includes not only europe proper, but also the entirety of russia, turkey, the caucasus, and central asia, making americans about 7 times more likely to poison themselves/each other.

you can also see it in popular culture, where americans talk about "stomach flues" like it's a perfectly normal thing that doesn't warrant a comment

I've been in the US for about 3 months and lemme tell you, it loving SUCKS!!!

To all non-Usians who are dreaming of the "American dreams", you better wake the gently caress up and stop believing in those lies.

Why the US sucks, a thread:
Food:

A fastfood meal (Waffle House, KFC...) is around $10-12$ per person, if you eat in a decent restaurant, it's $15-$25 😱

The ONLY affordable restaurant I found is Taco Bell, which is about $7 per person.

Fresh veggies is totally unaffordable. loving WILD!!!
Clothes:

A new hat is around $30-60
A new shirt is usually around $50

I couldn't buy any new clothes in the US, not in a hundred years!

The only place that I found affordable is Goodwill or Thrift Store where they sell secondhand stuff that people donated.
Transportation:

Virtually no public transportation, if any, it's loving old or totally ineffective.

You have to go by cars for 99.9% of the time and it usually take 30-45 minutes to get to the nearest groceries store. Absolutely unnescessary and time consuming
Gas prices:

You have to constantly check your gas level and gas prices EVERYWHERE you go because they are different from gas stations to gas stations.

You dont want to end up running out of gas near a loving expensive gas station.
No street food:

You're hungry and want some healthy cheap street food?

Too bad, it ain't exist except for some food trucks.

You can go to a gas station and buy some crappy over-priced corporate snack or stay hungry until you get home and cook something for yourself.
Hotels are absolutely unaffordable. Air B&B is not much cheaper either.

Car renting is LMAO, I dont even want to think about it.

You want to go travelling? Better stay with your friends or family members' houses if you want to save a massive amount of money.
Copaganda, false covid propaganda, right-wing propaganda, blue-thin-line flags, confederate flags, dont tread on me flags... are loving EVERY WHERE. I'm loving terrified!

TV channels and radio stations reek with capitalist sinophobic propaganda. I'm so loving sick of it.
Houseless people and beggers are everywhere. I dont even know how they can survive here at all!

There are virtually no neighborhood grocery stores or restaurants unless you live in actual downtown which is insanly crowded and expensive with $10-per-hour parking place.
Monthly fee for trash picking service is $60 in rural are.

Internet is AWEFUL and you have to pay poo poo ton of money for that crappy internet every month.

Taxes on every single thing you buy and they are loving nuts.
Your life would only be great in the US if your rich as gently caress or earn more than 100k a year (waymore if you live in big cities), dont have kids, your cars dont break and you dont get sick EVER!
I loving miss my country's delicious and cheap street food where everything is walkable and affordable.
Internet is like $7-10 a month and extremely high quality, gas price is the same (and affordable) everywhere, trask picking fee is $1 a month and a bowl of pho is $1.5 😭😭😭

whatever this is

quote:

The use of Native American/American Indian imagery by the brand, such as the depiction of an Indigenous person on the package and the use of fake folktales, has been criticized as cultural appropriation and promoting stereotypes.[12][13] Research found that the use of this imagery led to many smokers, including Indigenous peoples, having the misperception that the brand was owned or operated by a tribe/on tribal land and that it was more "natural" and thus healthier.[14] In response, Robin Sommers, the CEO and majority owner of Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company, stated that "Native Americans are not a target market for American Spirit", stating that the use of this imagery was due to the company's goal to bring tobacco usage more in line with a perceived "moderation" by Indigenous peoples in the 15th century and that proceeds from sales support Native communities.[13]

the only things that exist in america that aren't monetized are things that were created as public goods before like 1970. everything after that has been monetized as much as possible. if we just now started building public bathrooms, we'd be putting credit card activated locks on every stall door, sink, toilet, hand dryer, etc.
