Why do so many Europeans seem to think the whole country is Texas?

[–] Dee@lemmings.world 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I imagine the same reason so many Americans think of the UK as just London, or France as just Paris. I don't know what that reason is, but I imagine it's probably the same reason.

Honestly I can't get Wiltshire out of my head. Rhotal rs? What? They sound like they're from New England until they say something that makes my brain twist. I love it.

That's not true America is Texas, Florida (if it involves alligators or trans-hatred), California, Las Vegas and New York. Everything else is irrelevant.

Massachusetts is literally the most significant state. It's a forest with health care. We're basically elves.

Hmmm idk about that Vermont is much closer to being elves than any part of Mass I've ever seen

Casual bigotry, truly wonderful.

[–] GCostanzaStepOnMe@feddit.de 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just wait until I bring my professional bigotry.

[–] Maultasche@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago

That's nothing against my ranked competitive bigotry.
