My one high school PE teacher was such a slacker that I actually admired him for it. He also played favorites in a hilarious way, like me and my friend would be talking loudly in class and he'd ignore us. But as soon as someone else spoke up he'd tell them be quiet. Then would bs with us about sports and what not. It was so obvious he was just checking the box every day.

Not a good teacher but kind of hilarious to see that level of professional apathy. Probably didn't help that he was only about 4 years older than us. I think people forget a lot of teachers aren't much older than teenagers

Europe is super racist but they convince themselves that they aren't because they refuse to talk about it.

I think the US is more institutionally racist but less socially racist (depending heavily on where you are) but it's because have more extremes here. Our antiracist movement encourages talking openly about racism instead of pretending it doesn't exist.

Or the DMV. There are still some segregated neighborhoods but there are also lots of places where you'll have black, white, Latino, Indian and Asian people all living in the same neighborhood

Do you live in a city? There are plenty of racist numbnuts in the country and many of them will just assume you agree with them if you're white

Idk Canada is pretty damn racist too. Just replace Hispanic and black people with Indian people instead.

My best friend was convinced that my ex wanted to get pregnant even though we'd been together for years and she had zero desire to have children. Nothing I said convinced him. I really don't get it because it's just not that uncommon anymore for people to not want kids.

It's not an argument my dude, just a preference. I'm lazy and don't like wings much to begin with so the fact that they're extra effort just puts them down another notch. They're annoying.

Finally, a kindred soul. Everyone I knew in high school and college was obsessed with getting wings all the time. I don't get it

I don't think it is. The keyboard was awful on every iPhone I've had. I always switched to gboard instead because of it.

Cops are lucky that most people they fuck with have too much to lose.

I mean it's pretty obvious, it creates no incentive to buy their hardware platform which is what pulls people into their store. I was surprised but glad they did it, and not surprised when they stopped.

It's disappointing that I won't get to play any future TLOU or horizon games on PC because they look amazing maxed out on a PC.

This is becoming less and less true as time goes on. It reached a high point during the Bush years but if you look at polling of young people, they are much less patriotic than older people. https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/america-250-anniversary-poll-b2997555.html

Which makes complete sense, since it's very obvious that we aren't the greatest country on earth when a 25 year old with a degree has to struggle just to survive and can't afford rent and going to the hospital bankrupts them.

If you and to just dismiss this as "getting triggered" then go ahead, but that would make it very obvious that you only know this country from TV and the internet and don't actually talk to people from here.
