    I did. Like… What the fuck has America done for the world in the past 50 years it didn’t immediately obliterate the karma of 10 seconds later by deepthroating lobbyists or invading a country?

    And its not like the people are any better. The entire country is filled with people who take claim for the good things of others while rejecting people doing actions they disagree with. Like 2% of the country actually does shit and everyone else coasts on that. When confronted about why, they will blame every single thing under the fucking sun except themselves. It can’t possibly be because barely half of Americans voted and STAGGERINGLY fewer ever engaged in the process outside of casting a single ballot every 4 years. No. It has to be because of propaganda (that every country has) or work issues (which every country has) or some other egotistical garbage that is so insanely self centered that the person seems to forget that America isn’t unique.

    America has never had to accept responsibility for anything that it has ever done on the world stage and that mentality bled over to its people.

    So yeah. I saw a felon taking over the white house coming from miles away because that is, at the core, what every American wants. To have everything handed to them with no effort while escaping all consequences. They were fucking deluded to think otherwise.

    My respect for Americans has never been high but it’s nearing the basement at seeing the fucking pity party Americans are throwing for themselves over shit they made happen. I’ve got very little sympathy to be had for people upset at the current situation when their enormous contribution to checks notes STOPPING NAZIS was to cast a ballot once every four years.

    I’m autistic and I like the big bang theory.

    In sitcoms, everything is the punchline. That’s sort of the point of them. They take things to extremes for the sake of humor. I find shit like Good Doctor to be way more fucking insulting than an exaggeration of me and my friends. I can 100% be Sheldon at times, especially when it comes to Star Trek.

    Autism and nerdculture isn’t the punchline. Everyone who worked on the show was nerdy as hell. It’s the set up. The punchline is stereotype.
















  • I can’t really speak for America outside of what I hear friends say but they seem fairly similar. I’m Canadian and it’s almost the same here as it is in Germany, with the exception of therapy. Psychiatrists are often covered by healthcare but have obscene wait times. Psychologists rarely are. There are some free intake ones and what have you but otherwise you’re paying.

    America also seems similar to us in that regard too. Sometimes certain docs might be covered by your insurance but if so their wait times are insane. The ones who aren’t cost an arm and a leg. People like 35 and younger seem more open to talking about mental health issues than any of the older generations.
