@japan_nobunaga Not in most of North America.

Quick poll for Americans only 🇺🇸 Can you live a normal life WITHOUT a car? A) Yes, totally fine in my city B) No, impossible, I'd be stranded Reply A or B + your state 🙋

@jameszimmermann I sometimes go shopping with my wife, and Debbie sometimes goes to football games with me! If the shopping gets too long, just go buy something, and it will start the process of wrapping things up. No need to do that at games as my team usually loses!

Invited Mrs. Zimmermann to tag along to Home Depot and thank goodness because I did not know we needed these 17 other things.

@KeriA1776again I have a friend who can fix anything. He tells me about his house near the beach and all the projects he does every weekend. I finally asked him if he ever sits on the beach. I could be handy, but I don’t want to be. I’d rather go enjoy the beach.

@MustangMan_TX We’ve seen a lot of these sort of videos, but the last phrase she gives wins the internet for the day!

CUTE BRIT PRESENTS HER TOP 5 FAVORITE AMERICAN PHRASES: I’m pretty sure she spent some time in Texas 🤠 what do you think? Note: She did misunderstand #1 though: it’s “Dagnabbit” not dang nabbit! Maybe all that hair was blocking her ears! 😂❤️

@OnyekaNaomi On some things, God doesn’t explain Himself, or if He does, it’s gradually over time.

If God created everything, why did he create Evil too? If he knew everything, why did he allow the concept of Wrong to exist? Why did he make the opposite of everything he is and stands for?

@WelBeast On Sunday afternoons, some stadiums let families lay out a blanket and have a picnic at midfield. Of course the stadiums in my town don’t do that…. I have to picnic in my back yard, but others do….

What do Americans do with all these big stadiums?

@ThrillaRilla369 The fried potato. I’d be much thinner…..

What do you think should have never been invented? 🤔

@OGSAWB @ThrillaRilla369 Wait, what? Where do you get this?

@ThrillaRilla369 Idk… I studied on this. I could name off lots of sucky products but the competition usually makes for product improvement. Having said that, Ronco Hair in a Can never should have been invented. 👴🏻

@VictoriaLy1y I agree. I see all sorts of questions that strike me as data mining. A fun answer today will turn into junk mail tomorrow.

Today I saw someone on X ask people if they have guns and how many do they have and what kind. Dozens of people are revealing exactly what kind and exactly how many guns they have. In my opinion, This is not wise.

@5chmidtLR @EODHappyCaptain I know what you mean, but I bet he’s not a fake.

@EODHappyCaptain He don't have to. Since he is made up US propaganda.

This man literally can’t go back to Germany after this. I’ve been to Germany. It’s amazing. It’s beautiful. But it’s nothing like America. He’s experienced America at a level most people can’t. His life is forever changed.

@ZubyMusic @JeremyTate41 Many times I was accused of having kids so I could laugh at their antics. Tip: tell you son what happens if he kisses his elbow.

Having a son is so freaking cool. The number of laughs per minute is very high.

@AuronMacintyre That’s flirting? You have to have a pretty low bar for that to qualify. She looked like she was merely being polite.

The fact that modern society has turned women being nice to men into some kind of collective betrayal of the gender is a disaster of enormous proportions

@RealJamesWoods Some poor guy could well be her son in law, or ( shudder!) her husband!

Democrats tell us who they are every day.

@unlimited_ls It’s the chicken and waffles fight club.

NEW: Wild brawl breaks out between women at an exclusive Bahamas beach club Around a dozen people were involved in the fight at the Royal Beach Club on Paradise Island Three security guards tried to step in while punches and slaps were thrown, and several women ended up on the ground while others kept fighting Music from a nearby DJ kept playing while staff eventually moved in and got things under control It’s still not clear what led to the fight or when it happened

@HollywoodInToto @redsteeze I wouldn’t want Hanoi Jane defending anything I care about. Sometimes it’s better to have bad people disagree with you.

Quiet during the Twitter Files scandal Quiet while 'sensitivity readers' ransacked classic books Quiet as Team Biden censored Americans Quiet as YouTube censored 'wrongthink' over COVID Quiet as Cancel Culture crushed comedy Quiet as radicals silenced conservatives on college campuses

@MrDanielBuck Even if she’s saying something I agree with ( doubtful) I don’t want ti hear her. Is it legal to walk around in public in her condition?

Imagine 13 unrelenting years of this condescending "teacher talk," and you'll go a long way to understanding why young men are turning to the right

@BradleyKellard I think he’s right on this, but you can play the guitar for 10,000 hours and you’ll never be the Beatles.

Malcolm Gladwell revealed why you shouldn't go to Harvard: 1. America does not have a shortage of students who want science and math degrees. It has a shortage of students who finish them. Half of all high school seniors who intend to study STEM drop out by the end of their second year. The problem is not interest. It is persistence. 2. The obvious assumption is that smarter students persist longer. So Gladwell tested it. At Hartwick College, a small liberal arts school in New York, the top third of math SAT scorers took the majority of STEM degrees. The bottom third dropped out in large numbers. The data seemed to confirm it. Smarter kids stick around longer. 3. Then he looked at Harvard. The bottom third of Harvard's math SAT scores are equal to the top third at Hartwick. By the logic above, everyone at Harvard should graduate with a STEM degree. They are all brilliant. Nobody should be dropping out. 4. Harvard showed the exact same pattern as Hartwick. Top students graduated. Bottom students dropped out like flies. Even though the bottom Harvard students were objectively brilliant by any global standard. Something else entirely was driving the dropout rate. 5. That something is called relative deprivation theory. Human beings do not measure themselves against the world. They measure themselves against the people immediately around them. A Harvard student in the bottom third does not think I am in the top one percent of all students globally. They think that kid next to me keeps getting everything right and I keep getting it wrong. So they quit. 6. The research from UCLA puts a specific number on it. Your odds of graduating with a STEM degree fall by two percentage points for every ten point increase in the average SAT score of your peers. Choose Harvard over the University of Maryland and your chance of finishing a STEM degree drops by thirty percent. Thirty percent. Just to put a brand name on your resume. 7. Relative position matters more than absolute position when it comes to confidence, motivation, and self belief. The eightieth percentile student at Harvard looks up at the people above them and feels like they cannot compete. The number one student at a state school feels like they can conquer the world. That feeling drives everything. 8. The practical hiring implication is radical. Class rank matters more than institution name. Gladwell argues companies should have a don't ask don't tell policy for where someone went to college. Hiring only from top schools means missing the top students from every other school. That is not smart hiring. That is brand worship. 9. When choosing a college, never go to the best school you get into. Go to the school where you are guaranteed to be near the top of your class. Being a big fish in a smaller pond does not just feel better. It statistically produces better outcomes than being a small fish in the most prestigious pond available. 10. So why do we keep choosing Harvard over Maryland? Because we are flattered. Because the acceptance letter feels like validation. Because we make an irrational decision in a moment of enormous flattery and call it ambition. Gladwell's conclusion is simple and brutal. When we have the chance to join an elite institution we do things that are genuinely against our own interest and we feel great about it the whole time.

@BreitbartNews I don’t suppose he cares to remember in prayer the other 90% of humanity….

Scott Russell, Episcopal chaplain at Rutgers University, leads a call-and-response prayer before a Pride Flag raising at NJ's Middlesex County administration building "May this flag, when it is raised, remind us of all your beloved children who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, asexual, transgender, non-binary, gender non-conforming, queer, two-spirit, all other identities, and those known only to you, oh God."

@megbasham We were taught that in the Boy Scouts. My luck would be to sit near these guys, want to leave and end up picking up litter for an hour out of a feeling of guilt…

Again, all cultures are not equal. Some cultures are better than others.

@ThrillaRilla369 My I Phone does this sort of thing. Once I was giving a presentation and it called a friend who sat and listened to my presentation. I know one woman checking the time w/o glasses took a selfie in the bathroom mirror, posted it on Facebook w/o realizing.

When I point the remote directly at the TV, nothing happens. If I accidentally drop it between the couch cushions, it switches from Netflix to Hulu, opens four apps, changes the subtitles to Portuguese, and somehow starts playing Christmas music.
