and sometimes when you're on,
you're really fucking on
and your friends they sing along
and they love you
but the lows are so extreme
that the good seems fucking cheap
and it teases you for weeks in its absence

@jack_02_09 @ScarlettJimmy i mean there’s a lot of options between nothing and £500 to alleviate. i’ve seen portable units as low as £40. there’s fans. there’s ice packs.
if the other choice is death from heatstroke like… you gotta do something.
English
@ScarlettJimmy @spookylilith The average person cannot afford £500 for something that is useful for a few weeks a year😂😂 what an insanely out of touch statement
English
I’m British and even I’m siding with the Yanks on this one bc it’s just self inflicted misery atp
Darya@daryabdz
because yall complain every summer and never buy and ac
English
@Smariam1984 @3j3ctx3 US counterparts made of the same materials. not really commenting on their lack of AC, just why their houses get hotter in what would be considered mild temps. if you’ve ever been in a greenhouse when it’s 80° out, you can see why it’s miserable for them.
English
@spookylilith @3j3ctx3 Then why do they also keep saying their windows won’t fit an ac unit?
English
I don’t get it. A house made of block, brick, cob, or stone should be more temperature moderating than stick built ones. If anything their homes are cooler than ours.
No Context Brits@NoContextBrits
Americans explaining to Brits how 26 °C (79 °F) isn’t hot while living in air conditioned detached houses made of wood.
English
@Smariam1984 @3j3ctx3 their windows are big but often don’t open all the way. their mild summers before climate change meant they just needed a small breeze, unlike US windows.
units that fit their windows are a relatively recent invention. but this was more about why their houses get hotter than -
English
@ProtonInspector i have no idea if this is true or not but the idea is that you have to ask for it. in the US, almost every restaurant will give you ice water before you even see your server. i think the stereotype most comes from italy/france (again just repeating info, not agreeing lol)
English
Not touching the AC conversation but where is this myth that you can’t get ice water in restaurants from? It’s not filled to the brim with ice like you get in the states but there is often, usually even, ice in drinks at restaurants
the hot dam historian (phd)@hotdamhistorian
it's just annoying to see you all complain about 30 degree weather and then we find out your restaurants and other eating establishments don't regularly offer ice water to their customers. something is wrong with everyone on that island, simon.
English
@SargeantSzn @Rflohv2 usually you’d be right, but most of this discourse has been from native filipinos
a lot of the discourse is flamed by a dislike of americans in general, even diaspora
English
SEAsians crying about food are truly the most pathetic ppl in the world. Giant sense of inferiority, mixed with a misplaced sense of how great they think their cuisine is.
ppl doing sushi, or matcha latte don't start blathering irrelevant things, & Japanese don't cry pathetically
blueberry 🫐@tobiousamayama
If it was matcha, the person would def include a brief history of how he was inspired by japanese culture when creating it. But because its from SEA, a culture thats always been gentrified, they felt they didnt need to do so.
English
@McBidens all due respect, americans tried the same complaining over gas prices like two weeks ago and got raked over the coals for it
we like to commiserate too but we’re always told we aren’t allowed to so i think they’re giving that same treatment back (not condoning tbc)
English
It really baffles me that people don't like complaining in the same way we do.
🐄🛸 Vache@spacecattle
the reason the stupid heatwave discourse happens every year is bc british people love to complain and everyone else gets really mad and starts arguing with us when we're jist having fun so people get defensive. like its a cultural thing i believe this in my heart of hearts.
English
@denyaansu i’m from an area with a lot of filipinos and was so confused by this discourse because the 1st/2nd gens I interacted with were so happy to share w/ anyone
my irish dads ex MIL gave him her recipes to try and encouraged him bc it meant more people enjoying the food and culture!!
English
@MinModulation i’m in the US in an area with a pretty robust grid and we’ll still have rolling blackouts during days of extreme heat and they’ll ask us to keep the AC at 80°f/27°c during the day to give the grid a break
i’m pro ac but it is rough on the grid when everyone is running it
English
@ScarlettJimmy that’s totally fair! i think i was more thinking about immediate help for those hospitalized or dying of heatstroke (aka the cooling centers), but i do agree that you gotta take some initiative when it’s clearly going to happen every year now.
English
@spookylilith With all due respect, it should. For elderly people, yes, but the average person can pay £280-500 for an AC unit. I’ve seen people pay the same amount for concert tickets. It’s not that people can’t afford one, they just can’t be bothered
English
@kaitybella @Smariam1984 i wonder if that has to do with the blitz, like the thinking is if brick can (mostly) withstand constant bombing, it’s fairly indestructible.
but also funny bc most of the northeast has the same exact builds lol
English
@Smariam1984 they seem to think brick is indestructible for some reason!
English
I love when non-americans just insist they know how different building materials might be better in certain conditions and simply go ‘brick strong’
🇺🇦Cambrian Wolfy | cr: tbfyl vol 1@Cambria_Light
Americans complain every year about natural disasters like storms, floods and tornadoes and refuse to build houses from anything stronger than carton box
English
@GuantanamoJim @redinSTR unfortunately this happened like last week
there was multiple people sharing their ice cream photos, it was… something
English
@redinSTR First one i got was "put blood in their ice cream" and what ire couldve possibly possessed you to do all that
English
@theoceanblooms @leakitmanon because you treat it as some sort of failing. you act like we’re dumb or less than for not having the same exact produce as you. i don’t see this same behavior about durian.
maybe stop treating us like dumb people who don’t know vegetables and we’ll stop being defensive.
English
@leakitmanon why does it make you this mad when someone notes a difference between america and other countries lol
English
you jest but they literally do not have blackcurrants in america, that’s why purple is grape flavoured to them

@datnofact @SellYourVoodoo yes,

it does look like him from a distance (i also thought it was him) but zooming in it really doesn’t, i think NPC is even wearing glasses?
English
@SellYourVoodoo I vaguely recall mentions of it debunked that some in-game character was based on him, but not a debunk about him crashing her recording session.
English
Yeah it definitely wasn't organic.
Ali Alkhatib@_alialkhatib
i'm really just noticing how conspicuously widespread these references were for a short period of time. it came up in star trek too. did he pay a PR team to try to get his name in tv shows, or were writers just all organically doing this?

don’t love living 5 miles away from a military base and what sounds like 5 helicopters circling my area for 20 mins

@madeleinewintr i hear what you’re saying but it’s the princess thing that bothers people, we know all of the princesses. the only option would be maegor and that causes succession issues wrt jaehaeyrs
no one is denying he has targ blood, but an unknown princess makes no sense
English
@dominos is this a large pizza? the photos i see online show an entire another row
i’m concerned because the driver drove past my house, completed the delivery on the tracker, and then took another 20 mins to deliver
it was also cold
(one singular missing piece by me)
English
@gukigles @Ixndub @primediscussion i saw the post on reddit and the general consensus was they weren’t the AH for not using the money but they were an AH for how they spoke about their daughter
OP also said they have another kid with double the loans and it wouldn’t be fair either way
English
@Ixndub @primediscussion !!! no matter the relation, i honestly believe you are not entitled to anyone’s money (outside of certain circumstances like inheritance ofc)
English
The irony of someone who has to use their dead mom as their retirement plan trying to “teach their daughter a lesson” is especially peak.

@julie_bush i had a side effect from nexplanon where i had a light period for almost a year straight and my doctor told me to take SIX advil every 4 hours to stop the bleeding. i asked if there was anything else (including removal) and she was like nahh try the advil first
English
before i was forced to take my health into my own hands, i used to take tons of NSAIDS (for my cluster headaches that i wasn’t being treated appropriately for). they chewed holes in my gut lining, setting me up for even more misery. you don’t hate these idiots enough
Hot Take Appreciator@IHateNYT
Some doctors really do seem to get a kick out of telling people that they can’t have prescriptions & need to take on OTC medicines that already didn’t work
