Imagine if people made a Trump joke whenever New York City came up in conversation.
- Glant 1y agoWhen talking to foreigners and someone mentions USA, it's about 50/50 I get a trump joke or a fat joke. I don't think HN is the place for it, but stereotyping countries is pretty common.
- jacquesm 1y agoIt should be trivial to combine them into one for a 100% score.
- mvieira38 1y agoI'm in Brazil and that happens often
- unixhero 1y agoSo uh... wonderful women, good social skills, awesome parties... those are just true :)
- chermi 1y agoYes, just imagine if trump was brought up often no matter the subject.... I can't imagine what point you think you're making.
- notahacker 1y agotbf Trump is at least somewhat relevant to whether the US is a good place to live right now. It's more like inserting a Charles Manson joke when someone says why they like California...
- arduanika 1y agoThe throwaway's comment has been flagged. Who was he joking about? Mozart? Freud? Arnie?
- defrost 1y agoYou can enable [Show Dead] in your profile preferences and see for yourself. It was the usual no effort reference to a failed Austrian artist who later led Germany.
- arduanika 1y agoYeah, I could tell. I was playing dumb while pointing out some good Austrians. Didn't know about [Show Dead] though, thanks for the tip!
- defrost 1y agoPardon my missing the playing dumb :/ Glad the tip was appreciated. Still, hashtag NotAllAustrians: Russell Crowe, John Clarke, Jacinda Ardern, Keith Urban, Jane Campion, the Finn brothers et al. all raised the bar.
- arduanika 1y agoMeh. Your joke here, like a kangaroo, has too many leaps. None of these were even born on the West Island.
- unixhero 1y agoTake the opportunity and interest to read up on the history of WW2. It is a riveting read.
- fuzztester 1y agoWow. Didn't know he was a failed artist. To confirm, and also to check if big G's AI could infer it, I searched for: a failed Austrian artist who later led Germany Worked.
