All people want to do these days is lie, eat hot chip and lay egg 😤

There actually are a number of derived languages/dialects of English like Jamaican Patois or other English-based creole languages

For those who haven’t read the (admittedly clickbaity) article, it’s not a new virus and isn’t any huge threat:

HMPV has also been detected in L.A. County, though at levels considered low to moderate at this point, data show.

While HMPV may not necessarily ring a bell, it isn’t a new virus. Its typical pattern of seasonal spread was upended by the COVID-19 pandemic, and its resurgence could signal a return to a more typical pre-coronavirus respiratory disease landscape.

The trope is that the USA has no history of its own and so its people latch onto the smallest scraps of foreign heritage as a way to give themselves some cultural context and cachet.

I think this is fine in a vacuum but what gets really annoying is the simultaneous claim of being superior to any other nations and ignorance of the cultures they claim to be

I grew up in the early 2000s and I remember kids my age passing around Vics like candy and even then I never understood it. I understand it even less now as an adult

The US is really that bad, eh?

If you manage to pop out the middle part of a toonie… how does that work as far as ‘is it still currency’ goes?

As a child I tried very hard to do that but never managed. I dont think it’s actually possible without hand-tools and at that point I’d imagine you’d be mangling the whole thing. I’d imagine stores wouldn’t accept it but I’d guess banks would still replace it for you based on the 51% rule

In Canada a note is still valid as long as it’s got at least 51% of the total area still remaining. No idea about the US but I assume it’s similar

Where the hell do you live? I’ve visited a lot of cities but have never been in a situation even remotely like that

Aw noo that may actually be worse 😢

Is it poison :(

Well, I’m not a huge fan of shooters anymore so I’ll go with tits or Vintage Story

Seriously, I love the actual shitposts posted here but most of the time it feels like I’ve accidentally subscribed to USA politics or something

Reminds me of that classic WSBs user who discovered an “infinite leverage” exploit in the RobinHood trading platform: https://www.vice.com/en/article/a-robinhood-exploit-let-redditors-bet-infinite-money-on-the-stock-market/

Edit: it did not go well at all

Not me though

I’d love to extend rule 2 to no politics in general honestly (maybe just US politics?). I want some reprieve from it but even the damn shitposting community is overrun

What are you gaining from being so insufferable lol

Have you guys also noticed that we’ve barely heard anything about Kirk’s shooter compared to Luigi? I wonder if it’s because Kirk’s shooter isn’t quite as useful to them for painting the left as “violent criminals”

Yeah, it’d be a-okay since its just “non-lethal force”!
