Movies/TV Show.
Sure, with the 75 different steaming services all trying to produce content the majority is horseshit, but even if just around 15% is decent, that’s still more decent content than the output of entire other country’s film industries.
The museums
The 2 times turn limit for presidents.
It’s actually “term limit” as in “term of office”.
Mexican food
As many have said, our National Parks are incredible, and even outside of them most of the western US is pretty awe-inspiring. I live in a place where, within an hour or two, I can go to desert badlands, alpine forests, coastal tide pools, and even skiing resorts for decent chunks of the year. I was recently up at 11k ft altitude in the Sierras and at -250 ft in Death Valley a few hours apart. The US is HUGE and big parts of it are still very wild. It’s something worth fighting to preserve.
Edit: Also we can’t read, I am American. Look, I didn’t say the education system was good.
Don’t worry; as a person born and raised in New Mexico most people would consider me an immigrant so I can say that I agree with your sentiment that the land is truly glorious. We got a freakin northern coast and a temperate massive grassland for farming all the food anyone could ever need (barring tornado or big agriculture ruining it). Not to mention a great trench in which to cast dissidents or non-virginal women who dared to miscarry their pregnancies. We also got The Big River and then built the bigger car-river! Truly, a wondrous land.
Your individualism. Of course I’m aware of the huge downsides, but my understanding is that personal freedom has been a vanishing rare thing in human history. As I see it, some very odd circumstances (puritans and the frontier) generated the USA, which morphed into something even weirder still: a libertarian superpower. Which then, in extremis, saved the rest of us from authoritarianism of both right and left. Probably temporarily. I predict that after it all collapses, and with better hindsight, we’ll appreciate the USA more than we do today.
Using the period as a decimal separator rather than the comma
Just curious…why?
I’m used to the dot from all programming languages. And also the comma interferes with the CSV (comma separated values) file format. For the thousands separator, my favourite is the apostrophe.
The national parks? I’d like to visit one.
Don’t forget about the National Monuments! They’re not sculptures etc, but cool stuff like walls of dinosaur bones and canyons!
There are quite a few impressive state parks as well.
They’re AMAZING
Totally worth it. The ones you’ve actually heard of though are too popular and generally require a reservation and waiting to visit. But there are a LOT of National Parks that are “less popular” that are just as amazing that don’t require reservations or possibly even entrance fees.
Sure. Oftentimes it’s the not so popular places that have their own charm. And I mean the USA is kind of a big place 😆 There are lots of very different experiences to choose from.
Dolly Parton
God bless Dolly.
No matter how much you disagree with someone, there is always a possibility to shoot them in their face
God Bless 🇱🇷
We have a certain minimum level of dignity all interactions must abide by.
What? Have you existed the last 10 years?
Content. Without it there wouldn’t be an abundance of free learning material. I’m already feeling the pain of trying to find any decent lesson about my interests after Russian government blocked YouTube.
That’s the first Amendment to our constitution that you like.
How are things within Russia?
Like for the past 23 years. In my life literally nothing is changing. (For the exception of this fucking censorship)
Ugh! That word again.
Without the American innovation of deep frying a wrapped dough something within another wrapped dough something and serving it in a bucket, I don’t think civilization would be on the positive path it is on right now.
No matter how bad it gets, there is always you to show it could be worse.
Had a good chuckle 🤣🤣🤣.
The national parks. I visited Yosemite Valley two years ago and it was amazing. We don’t have acces to nature in this scale in central europe.
I’m an American but I remember talking to a gentleman from Belgium years ago while visiting Muir Woods. He said something along the lines of, “You all have some of the best national parks in the world. You should be very proud of them.”
That conversation gave me a new appreciation for our national parks. We are fortunate to have some pretty amazing scenery in the US.
I criticize our country for a lot, but the National Parks we did right by. I’m so glad we did that.
Thank Teddy!
The First Amendment.
A blessing and a curse.
