If Putin (or Trump, or Xi) one day jumps on the news saying the sky is blue, I'd totally look up with prejudice.

You raise some very interesting points, never thought about language (I also marry someone who's not from my country, so I'm kind of an anomaly).

Same, I'm used to Swiss tap water (I know, sounds like cheating) and the water in America always smells like bleach. You have to get used to it, it's probably because of the added fluorine. It's still safe to drink. Can't say the same in other countries around the world. Even in Germany and Italy, that's Europe, you should avoid drinking from the tap.

In Switzerland, you have to pay $2 to use the restroom in gas station. But I totally prefer using those compared to the sanity standard of your average american gas station. I can be picky.

As an European, I was tempted to downvote you. But not because your very valid points but because you started your whole speech by stating defensively that only people who never been to the US tell bad stuff about America, that's unfair.

I have relatives in the US and I've been there for several occasions. Except the midwest and Texas, I've been in most of the States and, it's true, America is like 50 different countries.

But on average, what I can say is that I love interacting with Americans, speaking with them it's like talking with some old friends, even in NYC (known by other Americans for being very un-american) I found friendlier people than in my home country. Kind of ironic that the only bad chats with Americans happened online.

I'll skip about the tap water, it's probably excellent, but to me born and raised in Switzerland, it always tasted like bleach, probably because of the added fluorine, I don't know. It's still better than tap water in UK, Turkey and half Europe and by far safer than most of Asia and Africa.

Finally, visiting America as a tourist is great, and I dreamed of living there as a child, but as an adult, I feel safer and more taken care in Europe, both from a healthcare point and from labour safety. But I live in a privileged country, if I lived anywhere else in the world, I would still chase the "American dream".

What really saddens me about America, while the people are great, the nature is amazing and the spaces are immense, is that is governed by corporations and bribes and make shows like House of Cards a documentary.

Let me guess: America.

Wasn't the fact that "the nazi ukranians with a jewish president are trying to ethnic clean the russians" the same excuse used by Putin to start the invasion?

Ah yes, news so US centric I can't even understand what's the point being made in the article, that's what I didn't miss from reddit.

Honestly, I miss reddit... Reddit is gone but I'm still fond of it.

That's a nice joke that deservers more, but at this point I'm sad for Luke.

It's not, but reddit is wild on this and brings up excuses like "he should have made a video showing they're best friends" or whatever.

Linus did actually tweeted and talked a couple of minutes in a WAN show pleading his fanbase to leave this kid alone, but for reddit it was not enough.

I do now. But I was confused at first because other people in other instances upload images just fine.
