American here. Can I come? Please? And stay?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

The UK is not better than America haha, just outwardly a little more subtle

Are the cops less murder-y at least?

[–] DJDarren 11 points 2 weeks ago

Only because most of them aren’t allowed guns. A good number are still rapey and racist.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Way more tolerant of day drinking though, that's a plus.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Same tbh. I'd rather just watch Brighton be mid this season with some crisps than all this.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

I dream of watching Wolves be mid.

Stayed at Amberley Castle a couple years ago. I could go back there and never leave.

Just don't forget to kill Philip first.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That place probably averages 28 stab wounds every night. A safe place, by American election day standards.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well, considering that we shoot people here. 28 stab wounds is child’s play.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

US knife crime rate is also 50% higher. I’d just be going around in Kevlar if I lived there.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Where is this pub?

I would like to go there.

As an Aussie, I guess I gotta work the bar?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Only if your name’s “Bruce.”

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

And you're an alright cunt.

bad news for us, the next election cycle starts immediately after this one, it will never stop sad-boi

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Seriously, it seems like their election campaigning goes on for years. I dunno how the yanks don't just get fed up with it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

We do get fed up with it, but with the electoral college luckily only a small portion of us get hit with the worst of it.

Unluckily with the electoral college most of us get hit with the other worst of it AKA a Conservative candidate being competitive because the land gets to vote

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I think they do which is how they've ended up with this.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

It's insane to me that politicians just tour around like popstars and you read things like: kamala raised another 250milion dollars to go on tour i guess, getting a job in america seems expensive, and when your country is doing so well, i guess it's okay to just waste money on politicians. And in the end it doesn't even matter, because they vote for the white old man anyway.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I dunno, if Mr. Drumpf follows through on his promises, you'd need to stick half the government in the bin before another election even happened.

[–] DJDarren 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That man has never followed through on a promise in his life.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I would be willing to bet he has followed through on numerous occasions.
But not on promises.

Better get the pork scratchings in, this could be a late one.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Surely we’re not that desperate yet are we? There’s still kebabs to go yet.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago
[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago

Just a warning, it could be all week. Better tuck in.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What uh... what's going on over here?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Entirely possible. In low res it just looks a bit... naked

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If you start seeing naked people in every blur of pixels, it's time to monk yourself. Get thee to a monastery.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Someone has to brew the weißbier for the next generation!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Likely happens after every public school rugby match.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

Oh well. Look on the bright side, we won't have the US election cycle dominating our news again.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You all had your garb... rubbish vs rubbish moment already and rubbish won.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

The US did in 2016 too. It's just for some reason, a lot of you want to do it all over again :P

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

ziiiiiiiip

Well since you're offering....

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Regardless of who wins, at least it's sure to be funny. I made my peace with the duopoly being identical plates of flyblown shit on expensive china months ago.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Is this the fullback? I can’t remember its ages since I’ve been
