I don’t know the context, but, to me, unless gender is relevant or important to the discussion, it doesn’t need to be mentioned.

My interpretation is the same as “I don’t need to know the race of everyone involved.”

Agreed. Everyone everywhere thinks that they don’t get paid enough.

That’s not saying that wages aren’t too low. That’s just saying that that’s not a good argument.

I don’t have to do the stupid self censoring here, right? The one that’s really easy for the ai mods that they’re trying to outsmart?

I always wonder how these people have enough time to even get accused of all this many accounts.

Lol. This has got to be a troll.

North America has every group that is present in Europe, and plenty that are not at all present in Europe.

Plus wave after wave of European immigrants that settled in geographically diverse areas and interacted differently with the environment and the other people that came there since the beginning of colonialism.

They changed way more than France and Germany (or whatever you think is “diversity”) in the same amount of time. Way more cultural exchange and adaptation.

The Italian Americans that settled in Chicago and New York are very different from each other. The Germans that settled in Chicago and Texas are very different from each other.

We also have groups that you don’t have at all.

First, brown people. You have like 5. That’s the Othello reference. You preferred white people only, so I’ll continue with white people only (which makes me gag).

Mormons. Amish. Mennonites. I dunno, just country bumpkins. Pentecostals. So many.

I’m running out of white people. I just can’t help but think that brown people are really important here.

David Sedaris has an interesting monologue about this.

It’s called 6 to 8 black men. Definitely worth a listen. That one is about the Dutch.

Lol. “Diverse”.

This is kinda excessively insulting and ignorant.

All my ancestors came to the US as poor white trash. The Irish ones were being actively starved.

Switzerland is like 80% ethnic “Swiss” and the rest of it is Italian, French, and German.

Honestly, to an American, European ethnic uniformity is bizarre. You’re so white and seem to think because you have Othello, you’re diverse.

I’ll be the voice of reason.

Did your mom tell you not to spit on people? Or cover your mouth when you coughed or sneezed? Then wash your hands?

I know she did. She raised you right.

Here’s the deal. Vaccines are like covering your mouth when sneezing or washing your hands after going to the bathroom

Sure, hand washing and a few vaccines are a bit inconvenient, but maybe you know why Mom told you that? She saw people die. I also have seen people die of vaccine preventable disease.

Stop. Please stop. The only people who like tips are the ones who receive them.

It’s a coming of age to all of us who did work for tips when we realize just how much more we made when that was the obligation.

I did not make as much money per hour as I made as a 16 year old until several years after people called me doctor.

As my European colleagues ask “why don’t you do it like us?” We do. Constantly. Well we try, but all the good people leave because they can make more money elsewhere.

And yes. This “feature” is to prevent money laundering. Not tipping.

It really is a crazy sound. I moved into my house about 12 years ago. It’s the first place I could hear the foxes in my life.

Really creepy.

This is not an ambiguous statement in standard American English.

It gets a directed reinterpretation with response.

That’s not what Chinese whispers is, though.

It’s what I grew up calling telephone.

Telephone is where you start with a short phrase and whisper it into the next person’s ear. Then that continues for everyone, and what the last person says out loud has nothing to do with the original statement.

Most of the responses to you really miss the point.

ACA was called Obamacare to prey on certain people’s dislike of Obama. So many people loved the ACA and didn’t realize they were on “Obamacare”

Even before Trump was elected, the joke was than anything Obama said would be disagreed with. That’s been a joke since maybe 2008. Before he was even in office.

The real point is that if you told Trump he could call it Trumpcare he would agree with whatever you wanted. That’s been a joke since Trump started being involved around 2016.

Yeah. I don’t think that’s true.

Have you ever had a dog?

I’m sure there are others here who understand this better than me, but he is seriously mentally ill.

Like, if he weren’t so actively damaging to real people, I’d feel bad for him.

You managed to get yourself elected to the most powerful position in the world and still feel the need to try to name things after yourself.

Even before he got elected first time he made it clear that he was insecure about his penis size on the Republican debate stage.

Can you imagine that? Someone who weilds the nuclear football? Penis envy.

I don’t agree with you, but you do you.

This place can be too toxic. You get a vote for liking what you like and not being afraid to express it appropriately.

You should smoke two joints.

As a person who’s ancestors came to the US in the standard 19th century poor European peasant diaspora,

Screw your stupid rules.

If you’re good, that’s funny.

But I just needed somewhere to say

Someone please explain what this whole post means?

I’m only 42. Wtf does all this mean?
