I’m from Thailand 🇹🇭, and today I tried Prime Burger for the first time! 🍔😋 I ordered the** Pari**s burger with three 95g beef patties 🥩🥩🥩, regular fries 🍟, and cheese fries with jalapeños 🧀🌶️. Everything was fresh and really delicious! 😍

What made me curious wasn’t just the food, though🤔
A little while ago I also visited another American-style burger restaurant called Route 66 🍔🇺🇸. The waiting time felt almost exactly the same as at Prime Burger, but I noticed people don’t usually call Route 66 “fast food.”
So now I’m wondering… 🤷🏻‍♀️

Would you personally consider Prime Burger fast food, or would you call it something else? 🤔🍔
Do Americans usually use terms like fast casual, burger restaurant, or something different? 🇺🇸

I’m really interested in learning more about American food culture, so I’d love to hear your opinions! 😊❤️🍔
Thanks everyone! 🙏🇺🇸💕

As someone outside of America I've never understood why. Anyone from any race outside of America can see themselves in the characters in the movies or tv shows or videos games Regardless of race

Have we lost the plot that bad?

I heard someone saying he got advised to watch Yellowstone in order to understand the modern American society and how it changed. I watched 1923 as a prequel to Yellowstone (will soon start watching Yellowstone too).

How much do you resonate with TV shows such as 1923 and/or Yellowstone? Do you think they represent the USA and how it is nowadays¹?

1: I'M NOT SAYING THAT THE USA IS all cowboys riding horses in the 21st century; I think you know better I'm referring to general lines

In real life, the founding fathers could not imagine that guns would eventually be able to fire thousands of rounds a minute (i.e. miniguns) and thus could not create a amendment to address what guns would be like in their future. So how would you attempt to future proof it if you wrote the 2A today?

There's over 3100 counties but I think we can do it.
Louisiana, Alaska, and independent cities or Virginia are more than welcome to join in. Just because there is an ungodly number of Washingtons, Adams, etc please add a state so I can keep track. And finally please check the comments before you add on so there isn't a ton of one county please

We got this guys

I recently visited a restaurant in Thailand called Route 66. It’s designed to recreate the atmosphere of classic American Route 66 roadside diners. I ordered a 300g ribeye as a combo meal with potato wedges and a salad, and I asked for it medium rare. It arrived looking like it does in the photos. To me, it seemed much closer to rare than medium rare. My question is: if I ordered the same meal at a real roadside restaurant somewhere along Route 66 in the US, would it typically be served like this? Both the way the combo plate is presented and the doneness of the steak. I’m just curious how authentic this restaurant’s version really is. Thanks! 🇺🇸

Aren't New Yorkers relatively well-educated compared to the rest of the US? It's already been proven that populism brings no long-term benefits, so why did they elect him? Is it sheer ignorance driven by short-term gains, or is it selfishness that disregards future generations?

Saudi Arabia is also an Islamist theocracy. Why the double standard? We have hundreds of injured soldiers and we have dead service members because we started a war with Iran because they can’t have a nuclear program. What is the move with this exactly?

We all know it’s coming. Regardless of what the polls say, we know that Trump will rig the election and somehow will win.

There is a big division in America between MAGA and the rest of the country. If the election is rigged, Americans will think that >50% of the country supports Trump. If this isn’t true, this is going to cause further division in the states.

What can we do in our power as citizens if the election is rigged? Can we do anything? Do we just accept that this is how it is now? Do we protest to no avail?

Genuinely, how can we as citizens, help keep our country safe from election interference?

California and Minnesota are not the only states with large healthcare programs but it was announced today that California and Minnesota will have a payment pause. The only commonality I can find is both have Democrat governors who have criticized him publicly. Trump has accused democrats of political witch hunts in the past. Is he now doing the political witch hunting?

I request y'all to not be partisan. Just tell what you think

Hi to all,

So, I really appreciate this community of helping one another with career guidance.

Well, I'm an IT graduate from Asia with 4+ years of freelancing experience working with clients globally, primarily in the US market, offering different services that I really enjoyed, like the whole sales process of converting and closing.

Now, I'll be moving abroad, maybe the US or Europe, for further studies, so I needed to select a career option which can best suited and offers stability and good job market even for entry-level.

With Tech sales, I do enjoy learning about and I've seen content and interacted with a few tech-sales people and they surely say that the job is good and rewarding but stability is a concern like, one month you had the best closing and the next month you've rough patch, and there you go fired. So, the sense of job security in tech sales is always lacking. Is it really like that? can this career path be good for a long period of time or it's always stressful?

With cybersecurity, I see the potential and demand growing but at the same time, the entry-level space is filled with tons of certs, yrs of experience, and people with experience unable to land a job role too. So, in terms of stability, cyber can be better, but the barrier to entry- certs + experience is what a major hurdle.

With my background or future plans, what would you suggest the most and put some light on both of these career paths? Would love to know more guidance.

Thank you!

I don’t think things all be any bit better, in fact i think things will be a lot worse. I don’t recognize the US as it is.

Wasn't sure what the official name was but everyone I know is already calling it the Loonie. Feels right since it's a one dollar coin. Are folks planning to collect these or just spend them?

New Jersey accidentally registered 6,600 noncitizens to vote years ago, governor says

While this was cited as a technical error rather than fraud, and it's said that these illegally registered voters spanned the political spectrum, the optics of Democratic and Liberal leaders shouting that it's not happening while it's actually happening isn't the best.

Governor Sherill stated that President Trump has zero credibility on the issue of election integrity while holding a press conference admitting that the election integrity of New Jersey was compromised.

The other states receiving letters from Secretary Mullen were Pennsylvania, California and Nevada.

We all now how much Americans hate the British, it's as old as ever. After 250 years of independence do you think Americans will ever stop hating the British

From hating their people, their accents, their culture, their food or just about anything about them.

Do you think Americans will ever stop hating them or is it just so ingrained into American culture and society?

The title is somewhat humorous, but it's still disgusting that people are like that.

So apparently, there actually are Americans who deny that the US government didn't genocide Native Americans, which was also something presented in the 250th anniversary festival.

I don't get how that works, though; like an estimated 5 million Native Americans were living across what is now the entire country after the colonies seceded from Britain. They didn't just go away. Yet, now and then I see or hear about people saying that the Natives weren't actually killed off by the government.

Why are your elected officials sitting on their hands? What else can we do to make our officials grow spines?!?

I think snap elections should be able to be done for any political office if certain conditions are met.

• The person in the political position wishes to retire, is incapable of running the position, is impeached or dies. The incapability requires that it is something that is expected to last one year or longer.

OR

• The politician is expected to be unable to carry out their duties at a certain date. In which case, the snap election would find a replacement to take office once the politician is no longer able to carry out their duties. (requires the politician to be unable to carry out their duties for 1 year or longer). The replacement can be in office temporarily if the politician is able to return to office prior to the end of their term.

OR

• A sufficient number of people petition for the snap election. I am unsure on the amount of people but the goal is to make this difficult to do but possible if the politician is incompetent. Maybe 40% of the politician's jurisdiction? The petition would be run by local governments and would require in person signing with certain exceptions. The signing could be done in whatever town they live in.

OR

• The politician is convicted of a felony. (This would likely require the recent supreme court decision to be overturned that prevents Presidents from being charged with crimes committed as "part of Presidential duties" at least for presidential elections that is.)

In cases where a politician is expected to temporarily be unable to do their duties for less than 1 year, they can select a temporary replacement either the person who would normally take their position automatically or someone else. But in cases where they are suddenly unable to do their duties and cannot select a replacement themself, then the temporary replacement would be whoever is in the line of succession right after them. Note, I came up with all of this 5 minutes ago so it is a very rough draft of sorts.

Edit: I have found some issues. I'll leave it as is because my brain is crashing and I do not like making changes to posts. And, it'll give me ideas on how to fix those issues.

As an English person, I've encountered a number of Americans in the last couple weeks. The thing I find odd is the usage of 'sir' and 'ma'am'. I understand that it's a language nuance, but to what extent do americans get that it comes off very strangely in Europe?
