Rest of the world (not America): How're you feeling today?
- Thread starter UnpopularBlargh
- Start date
Will marry an American to get them citizenship. Just make sure the place is cleaned daily, pay me rent, and don't eat my pickles.
I mean, the goal of this thread is't that complicated, yet here you both are trying to make it about yourselves.
Already said do you with the nationalism. Wouldn't have come back if I wasn't actually summoned. Thread is moving though. You've got a winner here.
So trying to have perspectives from other countries is "nationalism"? lol
Brazilian here. Politic candidates here are garbage, in general, so I'm more concerned with finding a job and getting my bachelor degree in Journalism when the year is over.
Today was a good day. I didn't watch the Cup game, but I played a lot of Slay the Spire and bought some old games from the Steam sale.

I've had knowledge of the supreme court in the back of my head for a while but today just really rams it home actually how daft it is to be relying on a judge not to die/retire for whether your particular vision of a better country is fucked for a generation or not.
With how polarised everything is now that shit is going to get like Weekend at Bernie's.
when it comes to the UK, Brexit is a mess but despite the current heatwave it doesn't feel like we're at boiling point for some ugly shit yet though unlike America, we're pretty servile on the whole like that. Give it a couple of years though...
just started a new job that I'm hoping is pretty resillient if we get some huge turmoil, but nothing's a guarantee ofc.

Probably not. You probably have me confused with an American too. You can stop quoting me whenever you're done with this game of yours.
How hilarious will it be when that happens?
Clarence Thomas keels over during Year 2 of a Democrat presidency. Dems control the Senate. Instead of declaring his passing, Republicans instead put forward that Thomas is "ill" and release doctored video/photos of him making token appearances to fabricate his continued presence among the living. Republicans win back control of the Senate during the mid-term elections. A month after the new senators have been seated, news breaks of Thomas' "supposedly recent" passing after a lengthy fight with whatever illness he was supposedly felled by. Turtle Jr. elects to squash any and all confirmation hearings for any prospective SCOTUS justice until after the next presidential election. Dems shrug their shoulders and go "aw shucks, guess we lost another one, stay civil America".
To be fair, Brexit hasn't even happened yet. It may very well be a shitshow that puts Trump and the GOP to shame..
So far so good. Our government has never been this good even though it is still not perfect, but at least it is not as bad as that other country. Our president can handle things smartly
That basically sounds like a "challenge accepted" kind of thing! :P
Australian here. I'm fine. The government just gave me a tax cut that should save me $570 per year, but I'm concerned as to how they'll pay for it....or how my infrastructure will pay for it. We're also just becoming aware of how badly our current government fucked up our national FttP broadband deployment. I mean...many of us knew already, but people are starting to realise just how badly it has been fucked up because they can't properly use Netflix during peak times.
Ok then, would you like to respond to the question in the OP? How are you feeling today?
Chilean here. Country's quite stable, so we're trudging on at the same pace.
Economy was giving signs of recovery after the slowdown in the past few yers, but the potential effects of the trade war have me worried.

You know I can go back 1 page and see your first post, right? Unless I am missing something?
You want to tell me how I should feel right now? This is what you want to do? More and better was all that I asked of you.
I am genuinely curious to know how you are feeling in regards to the state of your country and it's politics.
I like to learn about how things are uniquely shitty in other parts of the globe.
User banned (2 days): trolling, derailing
Google is free and more importantly douchefree. What country is this you're talking about? You're not curious.
From somewhere north.
Everything in life is generally great. Got a job, a flat I can finally call my home, friends a plenty so not lonely. But I got stomach issues and need to take meds for that for a while. Otherwise I would feel my usual happy self, but the weirdness of my belly each day kind of sours things.
Humidity sucks though.

You said you weren't american, I assumed you lived in another country?
Anyways, I think it's pretty clear at this point you aren't interested in good faith discussions here, only trolling and derailing.
Rent is currently outrageous in our major cities and wages are terrible. Our cell phone plans are fucking criminal like you wouldn't believe, and we actually still have a huge percentage of racist/homophobic dickheads despite pretending we don't.
I mean I'd still much rather live here than in the US, but it's not all rainbows and unicorns.
Having said that, Toronto and Montreal are pretty damn progressive cities with a huge gaming dev scene. It could work!
True, but you make much more money (I assume). I keep waiting for the orange bastard to tank your economy and drop the dollar but nooooooo.
Canadian here, things are okay. Job is good despite OT, weather is gonna be nice this Canada Day long weekend.
World Cup fun, streaming it on the job.
We always complain but then we take a look at what's going internationally... eh I think we're doing good over here.
But i do facepalm allot when i see what is happening in the US. You guys are on the news all the time for the wrong reason.
Happy Canada Day weekend!

I may hate your taste in movies, but I do admire your taste for pizza toppings.
Well Portugal just pass the first phase of the WC, so that is good, but on the bad side the US President is going to visit our country. And that counters any good.
We just hoping that he leaves fast.

Swede here. I'm feeling great, despite hangover, from yesterdays World cup win over Mexico! Other than that i feel like i'm in the best shape of my life and my 4 weeks vacation is but 1 week away, huzzah!
Mostly I just feel sad about our global future and the near certainty that australia will move closer to the USA over the next decade as we always do.
We already fucked up our economic future as a nation by going all in on coal and destroying the nbn, next on the chopping block is public broadcasting via the ABC (no Fred Rogers to convince government of its value here sadly), since Howard was in we've seen a slow push to dismantle Medicare and that will be next. Hell even gun control laws seem to be on a path to loosening as more fringe senators get in to power.
We're all on a dark path and Trump is leading the way to show other assholes just how it's done.

Talking politics? Bad, the rising right in Sweden worries me.
Other than that? Fine,! Vacation coming up, work is chill, and summer is a delight for frozen Swedes...also Soccer ; )

England here, still pissed off about Brexit but after going to the People's Vote March I've decided to see if I can join up with one of the organisations involved and thankfully one of them (European Movement UK) has a branch in my area. I figure we've got a small shot of turning things around, however unlikely that may be (Not going to hold my breath). I've got my health and if I manage my time right I can get a better paying job (I'm on a livable but not great wage, but am learning coding in my spare time) which will get me better security.
I think the last few weeks with shit like Trump's America and Turkey's fraudulent election have been hard hitting to the core, and it's difficult to see where there would be a safe place in the world, but a lot of people are as pissed off as I am and that may lead to a turning of the tide.

I'm embarrassed about the situation in the UK and Brexit and find that that frustration is being levelled at the US and Trump.
Racism feels more prevalent than ever...
Both feel like things I can't do much about and it's damn depressing the more I think about it. I am determined to ensure my voice on Trump visiting the UK is heard though...
Activism just feels like it largely backfires as the ones we fight don't seem to use logic as part of their reasoning.

He won't even know you are there, but if it makes you feel better, then all is good
Australian here, not too bad. Our Government sucks but we will most likely vote them out. Day to day stuff is good.
I appreciate the gesture of hearing from other countries. This forum can get pretty top heavy with American discussion.

Philippines. Govt is meh, but its not like the previous administrations were any better unless you are delusional. On a personal level I'm just chilling and getting excited for my vacation since I missed out on going anywhere during the summer because of work.
Pretty ok here in Sweden. Not everything is great, but overall we're doing fine. Far right is on the rise, but I'm not too worried about them actually taking over.
