I comprehend cleavage
Is it….sarcasm?
It's dirty lungs and the stench of smoke ruining a beautiful moment is what it is
I think it's about mixed use zoning, medium density, walkable car free streets. And perhaps drinking under the age of 21 but not so sure on the last one.
Too funny Reading the comments from Americans insisting they comprehend but then saying it's just about drinking and smoking lol
Yes, please lump all of us into the same category of ignorant hicks. I mean we are all so alike.
Couldn't the same be said about Americans calling them Europeans? Heck, even within Italy alone there is a lot of variation.
It is natural that you stereotype, ESPECIALLY in a sarcastic instance like yurop
You mean how you just called people from the United States Americans? Maybe you forgot about Central and South America? There are 35 countries on this side of the pond. Also, there is a LOT of variety in the US. We have over fifty dialects and arguably more. We have people that are native German speakers (with several unique dialects and daughter languages, Latinos that are native Spanish speakers (along with many dialects and daughter languages from many countries as well), Native Americans with MANY cultural and linguistic differences from Alaska to South America.
I promise you no one from outside of the USA refers to themselves as American, without any other qualifiers. Referring to indigenous groups is also a disingenuous argument- in my experience if you ask one they are likely to self identify as the name of their specific tribe.
Are you stupid? How am I supposed to call people from the US?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americans
Are there some other magic definitions?
Yep, I see name calling instead of intellectual discourse is your go to retort. Thanks for the enlightened conversation.
Okay but what do you call a person from the US?
The vast majority of the world refers to the United States when they say "American". Not even talking about "Americas/"America"
The fact that you attacked my argument because I used the (correct) word Americans already indicates you are not interested at all in any conversation. So yeah, I don't want to have one either with someone in such bad faith
The smoke definitely is too much for me, at least.
It was the worst part about living in China, too. Can't go anywhere public without just being overwhelmed by the stench of cigarette smoke because everyone is a smoker.
When I once told a coworker I didn't smoke, they thought I had some sort of condition. Like people couldn't even imagine it was just a preference.
Yeah, smoking bans and discouraging it is absolutely something the US done very well. It's one of the few american things I'm envious of.
I think laws like that wouldn't pass now. It'd be seized as ammo for the culture war and anti-smoking would be woke and all that.
Freedom sticks.
Ok but seriously, how do we start turning this culture war shit on conservatives cuz convincing a ton of them to start smoking would be a net benefit - imo.
You want second hand cancer again? I'll stick with letting them take horse paste to cure the measles.

That people are still smoking in 2025 given the verified risks involved?
You're right, that is incomprehensible
Yeah that's a big no for me. I sometimes meet people i haven't seen in 10 years or so and they all pull out cigarettes and i'm always a bit shocked and like: oh, we're still doing that? Gross.

We are all impoverished in America. That lady in the dress, man. God damn.
🤤
As an American, the only thing in this picture you wouldn't see at a trailer park are the fancy shops and restaurants in the background. Also the girl in red would be 450lbs (204kgs).
Trailer parks, the pinnacle of US urbanism. I can get on board with that.
I don't get what I'm not supposed to comprehend. I suppose you can say I'm not comprehending.
Drinking in public...i guess? Or just having enough disposable income to go to a restaurant?
Having public spaces where lots of people hang out instead of TGI Fridays
Plenty of those here do can't be that

Comprehend what? Smoking in public? Drinking in public? Maybe eating in public? Have you not heard of Las Vegas or New Orleans that shit is everywhere. It is also prevalent in many small towns where the local populace has decided fuck it. I worked in a small town bar after they banned smoking indoors in public places but you would never have known because no one gave a fuck and did it anyway.
