I'm thinking things like flagpoles in the yard.

Like you waste however much money and resources to keep your non-native grass around and they drop in a 60 foot pole into it to be able to fly an American flag and flag for whatever shitty college you went to.

What other things are there?

    Having the audacity to openly ask someone how much they earn in order to know if you need to care about them as a human being instead of having the human fucking decency of trying to infer it from their clothing, body and speech patterns like a civilised human, and in general

    I thought Americans were uniquely prudish about their income and refuse to share it with others, even if it would benefit them say forming a union and getting a raise.

      yes. PMC Americans don't ask & the whole 'middle class' is very strange about it. us low-earners are pretty open about it tho lmao

        i used to be a low earner and then PMC'd myself about 10 years ago in a Rodney Dangerfield/Back To School type scenario and i still maintain the "talk openly about money" mentality. it freaks a lot of the other PMCers out, but non-douches and younger people in general seem to appreciate it because everybody struggles at least sometimes and other times you're wanting to know if you are getting fucked on some deal... but nobody wants to admit that they may have gotten fleeced so we can maintain this aura of all being fiscally astute.

        i tell people anything they want to know. what i paid for my car, housing, insurance, medical costs, loan terms, credit rating, whatever. i hate the conspiracy of silence around this shit. makes us all more likely to be suckered, imo.
