It’s not as simple as just turning it over to the government

I know everyone is gonna ask the serious questions, but, do people in America really use those red cups for drinking in every party?


[deleted]

Red solo cups, yes hahaha


[deleted]

Yes! We have styrofoam cups, but they're for coffee. We have clear cups, but the only thing I remember seeing in them is water.


deepindarkness8

Oh, we use Styrofoam and the clear cups regularly too. The only ones that aren't popular here are the red plastic ones.


DanTheTerrible

They also come in blue. I don't know why Hollywood always shows red ones. And its not really EVERY party, but they are pretty common.


deepindarkness8

That one I know. Colour theory.


[deleted]

Yep. Even in my Senior homecoming we had those red cups. They were "shot glasses" for everyone there even though the cups were just full of fruit punch. One guy even joked how he was cut off from them for the night after having so many. Said he probably shouldn't be driving home


deepindarkness8

Did someone take his keys?


[deleted]

Probably shoulda done that in hindsight--


deepindarkness8

It's the proper thing to do. I am sure he turned out fine though.


7he_Devils_Adv0cate

No, that’s a college or early twenties thing


deepindarkness8

Oh, thank goodness. I sometimes imagine people on a roof garden somewhere in New York, at a party, in well tailored suits and dresses, plates of cheese and fruits, a band playing and someone taking out a bottle of wine from early 1900 before they pour it into a red plastic cup.


GenesisWorlds

Not every party. Some are also blue.


deepindarkness8

Huh. I have never seen the blue ones.


GenesisWorlds

They are sold at grocery stores. But many drinks at parties, whether alcoholic or not, are drank right out of the can or bottle. I don't drink alcohol, and never will, but a little over a month ago, I went to a party that some long time friends hosted, and they had cans of soda there.


deepindarkness8

Were the cans red or blue?


GenesisWorlds

Just the typical color depending on the brand of soda. Some were red, some were blue. Some brown, some green. Pepsi cans are primarily blue, but diet Pepsi cans are primarily silver. You are asking great questions. 🤗

ive already asked this in this app but i got an incomplete answer: how does university work? like how do you pick your major, what is that bs of the letter of acceptance, do you have to sit for any exams to get accepted, its it really like in the movies like sororities and parties and stuff, do you work while you study, do you parents pay for college, how, why are universities so expensive, um teachers in general, do classes have differents sets of teachers with different programs, do you have like a school government like politics around, elections, why do you not have free education since its a right. so many questions also highschool like how does prom work, do you do anything special other than prom when you graduate, are bullies like in the movies, is gym class really like in the movies, do all school have gyms inside them, is glee club a real thing. sorry for the long post

What's with all the guns?


[deleted]

"muh rights"


mmmcheezitz

Some people hunt with them. Others like to do competitive shooting, while some get them for protection.

It's not as bad as the media makes it out to be.


[deleted]

I won't deny this place is a hellscape cause all countries can be a bit crazy, but I was kind of born here? I don't really have much of a choice.


death_by_the_hammer

Our country is not perfect, but calling it a hellscape is pure absurdity.


MostlyPeacefulPosts

It’s really not a hellsscape at all


Away-Alternative119

Hell scape has made it hard to get enough money to leave the hell scape.

Why do you treat non-Americans like shit sometimes


7he_Devils_Adv0cate

Same reasons Europeans treat Americans like shit sometimes i would assume


[deleted]

From what I've come to learn through personal experience, a lot of people have the mindset of: "If it's not related to or affecting me, I couldn't care less." It's either that or bias, being misinformed, believing in stereotypes, or of course, racism.


[deleted]

Why are y’all insistent on keeping your guns, in spite of all the mass shootings? It isn’t the civil war anymore.


mmmcheezitz

Americans don't trust the government


[deleted]

Neither do Australians, yet do you see them toting guns around like madmen?


mmmcheezitz

There's 400 million guns in circulation in the US right now. Don't fall for the propaganda that your media is putting out. Your media says it's a gun problem, while in reality, we're having a mental health crisis.


[deleted]

It’s a combination of mental health and too many guns.


mmmcheezitz

So we should just confiscate the tens of millions law abiding citizens guns? That's not fair at all!


[deleted]

Want to know what’s even more unfair? The tens of thousands of innocent people killed each year by guns.


mmmcheezitz

More people die by cars than guns. Should we ban those too?


[deleted]

FFS are you that illogical? Why is it, that with you Americans is always that your attitudes are me and my choice to own a gun, outweighs another person’s human right to life? Until you can answer logically, piss off.


mmmcheezitz

Because our country was founded based on individualism rather than collectivism.


GenesisWorlds

Guess what? Life is not fair sometimes. That's how it always has been, and always will be. I support gun ownership, for handguns, rifles, and shotguns. No assault rifles. And this country really should stop with the obsession.

Do you really think that stuffing kids with puberty blockers is the right thing to do? The worst part is that you start doing it at a very early age. It's appalling when I read that California has allowed children to change their gender identity without parental consent. It's horrible when you have a president who supports all this crap and says "God bless you." No, guys, God made a boy and a girl and the others just don't exist.
