The most annoying thing about being famous is having to tell everyone how famous you are.

  • That’s why I included the technically part and then clarified that my heritage is German but I am not from there.

    This could be a uniquely American thing that I didn’t realize was American but generally (in the US at least) if most of your family tree is from a place, you’re also considered part of that place to some extent.

    As an example, someone born in the US who has only lived in the US but both of their parents are from South Korea would still be called Korean in the US. A Korean-American mind you, but you wouldn’t say that that person isn’t Korean.

    This applies to literally any location really, including Canada, I’ve just been watching a lot of K-Dramas and so it was the first place that came to mind.

    Is this different in other parts of the world? I’d love to learn more.









  • Town halls are a good thing for both parties.

    It lets the people talk directly to the person they elected and discuss their feelings and so on. It’s also good for the elected officials because it gets them directly in front of their voting base and allows them to campaign in person at all times directly to the people most likely to vote for free.

    The reason these are all disastrous is because Republicans don’t actually care about listening to what the people want and are just skipping to the campaigning part…

    Also worth noting that not holding town halls is a strategy already suggested by the republican parties higher ups and so far it’s just led to town halls hosted by democrats instead that are more than willing to tell the most vocal voters why their Republican government has failed them.
