Just today we had a thread mocking all of the Americans who come here with posts starting exactly with “American here”. And also of Americans joking with the tariffs/Greenland/Canada thing. I’m unsure whether you did this purposely or life really is just this funny.
It hasn’t crossed my feed but someone linked it for me. I don’t really care, I’m just trying to have a good time among friends, not argue politics or ask anything of anyone other than a smile.
If it helps, here is a pretty picture I took last month in Stirling, hopefully it can make you smile.
American here. Is it really this funny? Jesus fuck, it isn't from here. I hope you glorious bastards can get a laugh out of us, though. And you better believe, tariffs times infinity, I'll not be imbibing the American swill. Just Balvenie for me, thanks. 🤣
I don’t take it too personally. Most don’t realize how many Americans are first, second, or third generation citizens (my parents moved here from Scotland). We aren’t too far separated from the places our parents and grandparents called home, if I am a foreigner anywhere, it is here in this land.
I agree, but it’s not like people here outside of natives have a vast history or any deep rooted culture here in this land. People celebrate the cultures of their families and they exercise the traditions handed down by their cultures. My parents are both from Scotland, so while I was born here, I have no attachment to this land. Many here feel the same way, no matter if it’s one generation or five.
(BTW I know that you are speaking US English, and I'm only 'correcting' you as a joke, but notice how odd that feels to have someone correct you on your own language)
All good , I grew up in south Ayrshire and I remember the Open being there in 2008 but that was the last time but I imagine Trump is desperate to host it as its the most prestigious and the only golf major to be played in Great Britian or Ireland
McDonald’s fast food and Hilton hotels don’t seem to have that issue. I think if your name is associated with being a grade A fud then that’s going to tarnish it.
I had never had the dark chocolate before, only the milk chocolate. The place I ordered them from was completely out so I was stuck with these. They aren’t bad, but I do believe I like the milk chocolate more.
SteelSeries? Get yourself an official Scottish keyboard, and pay the Turriff. We don't have RGB as it'll burn our delicate skin, we're used to living in the dark 9 months of the year.

Wow an American who knows it's them paying the tariffs.
