Haha it's absolutely the joke mate.

I, a European, objected to being stereotyped in any way so I proved the point by being oblivious to myself doing the exact same thing.

I don't think all Americans are fat and stupid. Some are actually pretty thin as it goes...

Sounds like something a fat stupid American would say.

My wife is half Jamaican and half Iranian, she went to a school in a very working class part of a very ethnically diverse city in the UK, with most of the school having a familial origin in the middle east or India.

She was routinely bullied for being black and called the N word on a daily basis. She was made to feel like a troublemaker for reporting it to teachers and eventually snapped, her kickboxing lessons helped her break a boy's nose with a kick to the face after years of abuse, and she got suspended for it while nobody ever faced any consequences for their racism.

People don't want to punish wrongdoing, they want to keep things "simple" and not have to deal with anything they feel awkward about, so they ignore the repeated "small" incidents and only acted to punish the retaliation because it's deemed disproportionate. Years of racism to the point of having no friends because people were scared of being seen to sympathise apparently isn't as damaging as an afternoon in A+E and some minor discomfort for a week or so. Fuck that school and fuck this mentality.

This story seems like a worse version and we're 20 years on. I'm sure it happens way more than we see in stories like these, they're just swept under the rug and hope nobody calls them on it. Fuck this backwards ass world.

Ok after 5months here I have to ask, what the fuck is a distro?

The Internet is a depressing place today :(

Is this because OP doesn't like people talking about their happiness which they've been unable to find? Or is it they think true love doesn't exist?

Either way, sorry.

Thinking you need more money does not mean you're greedy though.

Do you really think the best way for the world to change is adopting an all or nothing attitude?

What improves the planet more? 1 person becoming hardcore vegan or 1000 people eating meat one day a week instead of seven?

See the problem?

I'd just like to point out that OP is either lying or has been scammed.

Starbucks have consistent pricing and the most expensive sandwich in the UK is £5.10, technically 5.25 for a plant based breakfast item, see here for full menu prices.

But people like getting angry at cost of living issues right now (understandably) so this will get hundreds of upvotes despite being a lie.

Well fuck you then.

Nor would any competent force give an ultimatum of "stop or die" over a trivial crime. Most countries would get in their car and try to follow safely, if that wasn't possible you run the plates and send a summons. A hand should never be near a gun in this situation.

There's no defending this.

Most people aren't doing terribly here really. It's not ideal but it's not horrific, until you get to the light blue/turquoise SUV 3 or 4 cars down. That fucker has clearly mounted the kerb and without the car there this picture looks pretty normal.

Also I don't think these pictures are of the same line of cars, should be able to see the roof box on both pictures but you can't.

Dude, delete it and try to forget, nobody is buying your excuse. You called someone dumb for making a mistake, despite it being you who made the error while OP was bang right.

It's very embarrassing mate, you can try to style it out all you want and a couple 10 yr olds might buy it but not much more than that.

Personally I think you'd do best deleting the comment and trying to forget that you were just that stupid once upon a time :) x
