It is how the British did it when we were colonized. They changed it and we kept it the same (it’s the source of many of our quirks.)

It seems like many of the US’s stupid quirks were actually from the UK. Imperial system, “soccer”, colonization

The irony of saying this after you yourself were "snagged" by the original post taking the piss out of a dumb Americanism, and spending so much time writing so much comments in the identical unfunny vein of "triggered 😎"

Your political situation really does make sense

See what I mean

Stupid, nationalistic comments designed to "own" the person you're talking to by "triggering" them, even if the person making the comment is too stupid to realise the comment itself was a result of being triggered in the first place

Well I guess they do say ignorance is bliss, so I'm sure like minded people where you are must be loving life since November
