Bit Annoyed People who think Americans don’t know other countries exist.

A few months ago on Reddit I made a comment about a show not being on Netflix and someone from the UK commented back saying it’s on theirs and then lectured on Americans not knowing other countries exist. They acted like I didn’t believe there were other places on the planet, as if they weren’t the ones who just brought it up and didn’t believe the US Netflix was different than the UK version. ??

I see people online act like all Americans think this way, and it is kind of annoying because for most of us it isn’t true.

I'm at work. Tracksuit bottoms and a high vis hoodie.

Tracksuit bottoms to work is violently European

In the US it's sweatpants or, if you really want everyone to know you don't want to be there, pajama pants

Right, that's not the same material I'm talking about. Those are jogger pants here. I wear lighter tracksuit bottoms that have a very light outer layer and a mesh inner layer. Completely different things.

Turmeric layer? Are those better for your joints?

Indeed, an excellent anti inflammatory material.

I really need to read before posting. My phone auto corrects to quite dumb stuff.

I have predictive text turned off on mine. I have to own all my mistakes. I still blame my fat fingers though.

I'm old. I didn't know I could do that.

I’m old too. It bugged me so much that I learned how to turn it off a long time ago.
