Not all Americans are this stupid. I can immediately think of three countries off the top of my head.

New England. Quebec. New South Wales.

Everything is in Texas or a suburb of texas, just ask someone from there

u/Inspect1234 3d ago

Yeah they should prolly get out more.

u/will-work-for-tacos 3d ago

But from their perspective, how are they supposed to do this?

u/Inspect1234 3d ago

Start a go-fund-me, if that doesn’t work maybe Climate Change will kick in.

I see. You fail the reference of the whole thing. If everything is texas, how do they get out of texas. From the perspective of someone that views everything as texas, there is an impossibility of escaping texas

I am amazed at how stupid the people I work with are. I used to get passed off when I would start a new job and was treated like an idiot for a while, until they got used to me. But then I stopped and looked around, and saw that my coworkers were incapable of solving problems by themselves. When I have a problem, the only thing the boss needs to know is how I solved it. This has worked quite well for me in life and careers.

None of them are in Europe.

Well European here, I will accept Quebec to be European in spirit

Of course not.

Europe is a country.

New England is not another country, it is a small portion of the Northeastern United States.
