Americans aren’t a homogenous group. In fact I would say we are probably one of the most diverse groups of people in the world. It’s kinda our strong suit.
To answer your question more directly: yes. It is irrational to hate and despise every American at this point.
The line of thinking you’re showing at the end there is very dangerous. I would advise that you take a step back and think about why it could be problematic to apply that sort of logic.

Oh it’s that easy? I figured it was gonna require some one handed cartwheels or spells at a minimum.
I’ll probably do that after work then.

I’ll look into switching later at some point.

I’m not a conservative but I would love to see people with opinions other than comically far left have somewhere to call home.
I joined world because I didn’t really know what Lemmy was and I was just “trying it out” after I got banned from all of reddit across all my accounts (they never told me why and instantly denied my appeal).

- Comment on Basic courtesy 3 days ago:
I used to work at a Costco. There were two long stretches of parking lot that had no cart corrals anywhere nearby. They were at the farthest points of the lot on either end. Despite all the employees begging them to add a corral in those spots the manager never did. But he would always complain about carts being abandoned way out there constantly.
I think a 30 seconds round trip to return a cart is more than fair. If you cannot reasonably locate a Coral (or the store does not have one within that walking distance timeframe) I think its fair to attempt to store the cart in such a manner that it doesn’t block someone else trying to park.
All that being said the average shopper at our location wouldn’t even attempt to find a corral. Often times they would just leave them in the empty space next to their car blocking a parking spot. Usually within 20 feet of an actual corral. Sometimes they would literally yell at one of the cart runners from a distance something like “wouldn’t wanna put you out of a job!” Before they just left their cart slowly rolling across the lot unattended.
If you ever want to lose whatever small amount of hope you had left for the basic decency of the human race just work at a Costco for a little while.
People would leave their trash in the carts constantly. They would spill food and drinks all over the kids seats and just leave them there. They would almost never put them into the corrals properly. They would just shove them towards the corral from a distance which almost always cause the carts to jam up at angles and then the corral would over flow and eventually people would just leave them with their front wheels put over the curbs right next to the corrals that was now spilling over with 7 carts because nobody decided to properly put the cart away and instead just pushed it to the edge and called it quits.
I have worked all kinds of service jobs over the years. Costco by far had the most selfish and shitty customer base out of all of them. You can tell by the way many of them spoke to employees that they felt entitled to treating everyone like shit because they paid a membership. Hell some of them would even say exactly that whenever they felt even slightly inconvenienced or slighted. Just right out the gate with “I pay a membership fee blah blah blah blah”. Every once in a blue moon they had s legitimate argument to be making, but 99% of the time they were just throwing s fit because they wanted to get their way and the managers would bend over backwards for the customers every single fuckin time.
Sorry this turned into a rant about the worst job I ever had.
Yeah many people are too selfish to put away a shopping cart these days.

- Comment on Nature is healing 1 week ago:
It’s been interesting as someone in the middle. My left leaning friends and family are all panicking like it’s the end of the world. My right leaning friends are the happiest I have seen them in years.
The part I don’t enjoy is when I say things that I do like about what’s going on I am called a Nazi/fascist ( or whatever other words the left feels like driving into the ground until it’s meaning has been completely lost) immediately by people on the left.
When I point out things I don’t like about what’s going on the people on the right have varying responses ranging from “too bad so sad” to " yeah I agree I am not a fan of how it’s being done, but I still think it’s a net positive".
If you’re wondering how the Democrats lost that’s just one tiny example of the larger issue.
- Comment on sterile rot 1 week ago:
Obligatory “not me, but a friend” story.
In highschool I used to hang out with some stoners from time to time. As most stoners do they experiment with all the different ways you can get high on pot. One way they came to enjoy quite a bit was filling up the bong with ice and Gatorade. It gave the hits a nice fruity flavor and they hit nice and cool.
Only problem was that stoners are notoriously lazy and of course they forgot to clean out the bong after doing one of the Gatorade and ice sessions.
Anyway we were having a little party/gathering and a girl from our class who was kinda new and trying to fit in with the stoner crowd was there. As the party went on one thing led to another and we were all super drunk and super high (we had smoked joints that day) when somehow the topic of truth or dare came up. Obviously there was the usual nonsense of kiss so and so. Text so and so something. Eventually the new girl loudly blurted out that she would do any dare no matter what it was. Without skipping a beat the host of the party told her to drink the moldy used Gatorade water from the bong that we had used last weekend and it had been sitting outside since.
She grabbed that bong with so much confidence and CHUGGED that moldy weed run off like it was any old beer. She slammed down the bong victoriously and then tried to shout something at all of us, but before she could get a whole syllable out she proceeded to projectile vomit all over everyone. Since she was drunk she tried to cover her mouth as she continued to spray moldy Gatorade and pot juice everywhere, but that only acted like a sprinkler system to further spread out the vomit which was now coming up as more of the alcohol and whatever else she had been eating that day.
That was one of the best/worst parties I had ever been at. She was taken into the bathroom to be showered and changed by one of the other girls at the party and the rest of us had to start cleaning because the parents of the guys house we were at were nice enough to let us party there often and we didn’t wanna make them regret it. If I remember correctly she offered to pay to get the carpets steam cleaned, but we had already done that while she was passed out lol.
- Comment on Who here does NOT have intrusive thoughts? 1 week ago:
EXACTLY.
I have lost count of the number of times I have heard someone say some variation of “Without God or the punishment of eternal damnation what’s stopping you from raping and murdering???”
It’s like… I don’t need a magic space man to tell me those things are bad in order for me not to do them. If you DO require a magic space man to keep you from being a disgusting piece of shit maybe you gotta do some soul searching. Or dying.

If I give you notice before you have finalized the schedules for that month then it’s not a request. I am letting you know I ain’t gonna be there and you need to sort that out lol.
- Comment on Who here does NOT have intrusive thoughts? 1 week ago:
I know this doesn’t answer your question, but I feel like I would be more concerned if someone told me they never had any intrusive thoughts.
Like yeah it’s weird that I always think about what it might be like to drive into oncoming traffic, but I would never actually do it.
Somehow I would be more afraid of the person who’s never even thought about it once than the other

I cannot fathom being 130 pounds again. I’ve been over 200 for so long I can’t even imagine how much more nimble you must be lol.
Well hey congrats on the metabolism. I know it can be inconvenient how much you gotta eat n all that, but trust me it beats the alternative. My brother is a massive stoner and he eats like an elephant, but he’s always skinny as twig. I eat like half of what he eats and I’m a hefty slab of meat.
- Comment on Can I lose a beer belly working out one day a week? 2 weeks ago:
I had the class record for most sit ups in 60 seconds at one point in my life lol. I think it was 43. I probably couldn’t do 43 sit ups in an hour at this point in my life… I should probably start working out again lol
- Comment on Can I lose a beer belly working out one day a week? 2 weeks ago:
Are you 5’3"? I don’t mean that to be offensive I am genuinely asking. I haven’t weighed anywhere near 130 since I was maybe 12?
Do you want a six pack or do you just want the belly bulge to go away?
Every little bit helps. Generally speaking if you can work a few push ups and sit ups into your daily routine it will likely have more effect than doing an hour long dedicated work out once a week.
Start out with 10 sit ups every morning right when you wake up and do 10 every night before you hop in bed. Add more as you get comfortable or do them periodically throughout the day.
