    Fascinating! Which parts? My wife and her family are from India and complain about the Texas heat, even sometimes getting sick from heat exhaustion.

    Also, one of my previous employers had frequent visits from reps from India and Africa. The three main comments they all had in common were

    • that they were impressed how easily accessible the airport is in a city of 2.5 million people
    • how unbearable the heat is and asking how we deal with such horrible heat
    • how funny the ridiculously huge pair of boots in front of the mall across the highway from the office were

    Oddly, none of them showed any interest in our genitalia, but you’re probably right: they probably just discussed it amongst themselves in private.

      Ghooood Americans. It’s no hotter in most parts of Texas than it is elsewhere near the equator. You just always have to one-up people; insecurities I’d guess 😂

      It doesn’t matter what you post, some fucking yank will try and one-up you

      I posted a lovely pic of some Alpine mountains in their autumn colours and the comments instantly filled up with “Yeah, you ain’t seen fall colours until you seen New England buddy” 🤮

      Fuckin get over yersels eh
