i saw the most american man in the america in an east coast american suburban parking lot on my visit to the country of america - balding, obese white male in his late 50s - military industrial complex promotional cap don't remember whether it was the marines or the iar force or a generic bless are tropes hat - oversized (even for someone as fat as him) stars and stripes w/ bald eagle t-shirt - cargo shorts - flipflops with white tennis socks - a huge rear end off-road suv you probably don't need in the suburbs unless you work in a mountain shack - inability to walk a couple of meters without catching his breath e: oh he also had a pedo mustache and flip-up sun glasses almost forgot

Thin Privilege posted:Im Russian but the other day I realized I'm more American than Russian because I hate vodka and love McDonald's. But on the other hand I love potatoes. But on the other other hand fries are potatoes? I don't know. the anti-gorbachev coup was defeated 25 years ago because people already felt the taste of delicious American Hambubger with Freedom Fries and a large Coke in their mouths and wouldn't want to give up the dream

Nooner posted:There was a thing on NPR a while back about McDonaldsin Russia and like how people were confused by them at first because I guess in Russia everyone who works in restaurants are assholes to the customers but McDonalds is American and they made sure that their employees all like smiled and told people to have a nice da and things so it was really weird Russian customer service is even more sourfaced than Finnish customer service (it's cool because you as a customer don't have to pretend you're having a great day either and can just mumble through the transaction). My Russian textbook presented the situations "Waitresses Just Passing by Your Table When You're Trying to Place an Order" and "Meal Taking Hours to Arrive" as business as usual in a Russian restaurant.
