David Coleman Ok I’m not even opening up the can of worms about the tragic shootings but Police Do not target black people. It’s all situation based and no two scenarios are exactly the same, maybe watch Body cam footage and place yourself in the officers shoes in that situation. And before you bring up less than lethal methods, those don’t always work. Tasers can fail if both prongs don’t make contact or miss, not every police department has less than lethal and even if they do they may only have Tasers or maybe a bean bag shotgun. The officers are taught and trained to assess a threat and their goal is to protect their lives and go home to their families after their 12 hour shift so they can eat some breakfast or dinner and take a nap to do it all over again the next day

[@phuk8865]

@@Bernesemtdog you were just dying to talk about race when it wasnt even apart of the conversation. dont, you're white so you wouldnt know what a black, brown or any non white person experiences when it comes to police or racism in general. You are apart of the problem. Refusing to acknowledge something you cant relate to so you dismiss it. Stop trying to justify murders that occur without a fair and speedy trial which is every american citizen's legal right. You say look at the footage but there is plenty of edited footage, footage they refuse to release and false reports made that benefits the officer. Stop acting like racism isnt a thing. I've been experiencing racism since i was a child at the age of 6 and this was in the early 2000s. People will hate you because of the way you look for no reason and simply harrass you because they can and will get away with it ESPECIALLY people in powerful positions. But i can tell speaking with you is like talking to a brick wall because you're old enough to know people are judged, stereotyped and are treated differently because of the reasons stated above yet REFUSE to see it. Have a nice life in your bubble sir. Oh and dont say anything about victim cards because people like you love to bring up race then want to dominate the narritve of the conversation to benefit your ideas you're trying to pursued everyone else into believing.

About the portion sizes: most Americans don't actually eat the giant portions in one sitting. It's very common to take about half of the meal home and eat it as leftovers for lunch the next day.

[@SonnyBubba]

That’s true. You’ll often hear it referred to as “a to-go box” or a “doggie bag”. Americans in general do not like wasting food, yet the portion sizes are so big that most people cannot finish them. It’s a weird contradiction. It is unusual, but not uncommon, and not rude, for two people to order one meal and share it. Just make sure that you both leave a full size tip.

[@mazzalnx]

I've visited the U.S. for two weeks and tried to pack into schedule as much as I could. Most of the people I met were absolutely lovely. You could trace my travel route as a rough triangle from MD, to OH, then NC. In these two weeks, I did not have a single meal twice on any restaurant or restaurant chain, and I'm certain I didn't even scratch the surface on the variety you can find there. Root beer is awesome. I brought some on the trip home and my friends said it tasted like toothpaste but **** them. I drove, I flew (man, Southwest pilots are actually rally pilots on the tarmac, they taxi 800% faster than any other airline I've flown, the planes even lean), I walked, I petted awesome doggos, I stayed at actual people's homes as a guest, I read up on legislation and courtesy well beforehand. The thing that caught me the MOST off-guard was being yelled at when walking into a Five Guys restaurant. I know it was a welcome, but geez, that could give any lone tourist a heart attack! (I was alone that day...) Hate the tipping system but tipped fairly everywhere I went, even hotel staff I never got to see (left them thank-you notes and weird international chocolate, as well as the tip, for the cleaners). The hardest part was actually getting $5 and $1 bills to actually be able to tip! Nobody seemed to have change, haha. Twenties seemed to be the norm. I only saw a SINGLE $10 note and didn't even use it -- I keep it to this day, as some sort of pink unicorn... OH LORD, THE COINS DON'T HAVE ANY NUMBERS ON THEM, WHAT SORT OF INSANITY IS THIS?! Tag price vs. taxed price? Meh... You kind of just get used to it, I guess. I did. A server in a restaurant asked for my ID when buying alcohol. I didn't carry my passport on me for fear of losing it or being robbed (yeah, habit forms when you live in a violent country) so I was only carrying my own country's driver's license and the geneva International Driver's Licence thingy (which is all you technically need to legally drive in the US if you're from a member country in that agreement)... Our driver's licenses are printed in PAPER and the server was just befuzzled, the DOB wasn't even in the normal US format. He paused for a second looking at it, then simply said "holy hell I'll just start counterfeiting these and get rich!" -- it was just a laugh for my friends and everyone around. "Free" nachos, ice water and salsa upon arrival at a Mexican restaurant also slightly scared me. I was on a tight budget. That kind of thing is DEFINITELY charged in my country and EXPENSIVE, to boot. At special occasions I do indulge on some Ciabattas + Olive oil as an appetizer, but that costs about US$10 where I live. Bread and oil. And that's when they don't charge it per person on the table... Seeing Vodka being sold in Walgreens in OH also looked pretty bizarre. Found it while looking for non-freezing washer fluid for my rental car. SO MUCH SALT ON THE ROADS. Then again, it probably kept me alive and not-upside-down in the middle of winter. My country never goes under freezing temperatures so we just stick plain water in there. People with older cars also just stick plain tap water on their radiator system... Rusts everything to hell... On cars. Everything's automatic and it felt like driving a Playstation instead of a car. Damn I miss being allowed to turn on a red traffic light to this day. It's such common sense. Even the Brits (calling on Clarkson here) admit it! But. My friend was absolutely shocked at me when I didn't STOP at a stop sign in a suburban, empty, deserted area. I'm a very careful driver that never speeds or does anything reckless, but that was just unacceptable! She yelled at me! I *did* read about driving rules there, but hey... We have red stop signs in my country. But they basically mean 'yield with extra caution' -- if noone's coming the other way, just coast right through! NO COP here would ever give you trouble for that. Sorry for the long rant! Have an imaginary banana.

I recall an incident when I was visiting family in Korea. I was traveling with my mom and she wanted to ask for directions- three people just straight up ignored her. Like god damn, she just wanted directions! I feel like foreigners get more friendlier treatment sometimes... (which doesn’t apply to me, even though I’m American, because I’m biologically Korean...)

I was stopped at a stoplight once and decided to count the flags I could see. I counted 6. They are everywhere. Also, to anyone thinking about visiting the US, come visit the Midwest! Everyone overlooks us, but we have some amazing things to see! The North Shore of Lake Superior, Duluth and its lift bridge, the Twin Cities, Wisconsin dells, the Mall of America in Bloomington, MN (largest mall in America), the Mississippi's source in Itasca state park, Mt.

A lot of POC recognize that subconscious reaction pretty frequently, making them not feel too welcome in certain situations. Glad to hear you didn't experience anything awful!

Two things explain the size: American restaurants, and cheap junk food. Junk food is probably the most efficient in terms of calories per dollar, and is a major reason why American poor people are not in danger of starving to death. It’s probably also reason why American men prefer skinny women, because you have to be rich in order to maintain a skinny figure.

the size difference is incomprehandable, as a European.

@@thiagoevangelista2754 Yep, it’s strange. The American restaurants would rather add a hidden 10-20¢ to the price of the fries and give away the ketchup, rather than try to charge an extra 4-5¢ per packet.

One of them even got an international DL, but when they arrived he was terrified by the wide open space between destinations. I had to explain to him that Texas is roughly five times the size of Germany with one-fifth the population (17 mil vs. 82 mil). And Texas being 700+ miles or 1140+ km across just floored him, he almost fainted. But they loved drinking beer and they loved Texas BBQ and even enjoyed some San Antonio culture like th Riverwalk, Market Square and the tour of Missions.

Travelled around America last year on a tour. I loved it, great place. Generally the people are friendly. They helped me as a tourist when i was in trouble. The food was good and the refills are handy on a really hot day. Where I'm from nothing is free. The only thing i didn't like was the coffee. Everything else was super. I will definitely be visiting again in the future.

[@edgarsandoval289]

The people being friendly is super accurate. Coming from a Hispanic background, our people can be so reserved with strangers. Whites are super friendly, though. Especially the older folk, they'll literally just start up a conversation with you in public and start going on about their grandchildren, it's pretty adorable.

And another thing, y'all have police checkpoints for drinking and driving. But you don't hold your hands up in the air so cops can see your hands and you don't explain before making every move like we do. My OZ friend was sleeping and I was driving in QLD. I pulled into the checkpoint and held my hands up in the air. Mr. Police said, "Hey, you alright there?" "Yes sir. Thank you sir.", my reply. "You can put your hands down." As he handed me what looks like an insertion device for a tampon! I said, "I'm reaching my hand up to take that." He looked at me like I was crazy. I held it in my hand. My friend woke up and started laughing and said, "Blow". So I blew it like a birthday candle. Cop said, "Right. You must be American. Put your lips on it and blow inside. Ok, off you go." As I drove away I looked in the rear view mirror and could see he was telling his buddies and they were all laughing at me.

[@nicolasbertin8552]

After 2 trips in the US as a Frenchman, I can say what shocked me in the US. I think the main positive thing that shocked me is how gorgeous it is. Now, I visited California, Arizona, Utah and on another trip Boston, Cape Cod and Maine. In New England I was surprised by the cleanliness, the pretty colonial houses everywhere... In the South West, it was the parks. And more than the National Parks, there's also a lot of non-protected beautiful areas. Everywhere you go there's pretty mountains. Also, the coast is much better preserved in the US than in France for example, including in touristy places like Cape Cod. Cote d'Azur is a tourist nightmare, with concrete everywhere and crowded beaches. Our pretty coast is in Brittany, Corsica, or Normandy. The main negative thing that shocked me in the US is how ugly the cities are. I liked Boston and Moab. That's it. I found LA, Phoenix, Tucson, or Portland, Maine, to be just ugly. Sprawling, industrial, not interesting architecture-wise. No public transport to visit on foot, it's like you need to take your car and drive 10 miles to go to a restaurant... Hated the big traffic jams and the fact that everyone has a car. For such a car-oriented people, the roads are not in good shape. Potholes everywhere, poor signage, the infrastructure IS crumbling and it's no wonder it's was the ONE thing in common from both presidential candidates' program in the recent election. The food also shocked me but in different ways: it can be very good. Especially Mexican oriented cuisine in the South West. There's also amazing beer in the US, American are even doing "beercations" where they visit breweries during a road trip. That was a real enlightenment. Now it also shocked me by the number of rubbish fast food chains you have. Wendy's, In and Out, Dunkin' Donut, it's everywhere. Some cities like Tucson are just this, petrol stations and supermarkets. It's depressing. The people didn't "shock" me. Once thing for sure: I didn't see one gun while I was there, or felt uneasy (maybe in East LA, that's it). Granted, I wasn't in the Southern states (that'll be next year), but I didn't get the "nasty creationist judgemental asshole" vibe in Arizona or Utah. I think you only feel how divided the country is if you live in it. But just passing through it doesn't really come up when you talk to people. Another thing that shocked me was the driving. On one hand people drive 10 miles an hour over the speed limit, and if you don't you slow down traffic. But on the other hand the sheriff in his white and black car waiting to chase you, parked in ambush on the middle of the road, is frequent. There are no automatic speed cameras like in Europe, so it's only police cars, you need to be careful. It seems like they don't care much if you go 5-10 miles an hour over the speed limit. Since everybody does it, why bother. But go faster than that and they'll chase you. All in all, people say Canada is friendlier, but Americans and Canadians are really similar. Canadians aren't THAT nice (they can drive like maniacs in Montreal for example) and Americans are definitely not that rude (haven't been to New York though, hehe). As for the food, as a Frenchman I can tell you it's easier to find good food in America. Why ? Because it's easier to spot a nice diner or good restaurant in America. In France, there are too many restaurants, and going on chance will get you a bad meal more often that in many other countries. Go to the countriside or the wild west in the US, and it's where regular people, locals, eat. If the food isn't good, they don't go, and the restaurant loses money, that's it. In France, there are so many tourists that as long as you have a good spot, you can serve bad food and still make money... The number of restaurants serving frozen food in France would shock you I'm sure. That's why they've recently created this "homemade" official label for restaurant so you can filter the bad ones.

[@nicolasbertin8552]

Oh and yeah Mountain Dew shocked me. I mean how can you guys drink this ??

[@Lammalord]

Cheers for the South-Western Mexican food! You really had a treat with that one, it's a unique style only found in Southern California and the northern part of Mexico near the border (Tijuana), Even moving six hours North the food is.. different. The over-the-speed limit part, it really depends on the state, some are seriously stricter on that than others. I remember visiting Washington State and was shocked to see no one drove a mile over the speed limit. Growing up in San Diego California, however, we had a running joke that there's an unwritten speed limit of closer to 85mph (20mph over the speed limit) 75mph if you want to be safe. Living there you learn where the police cars tend to park (under overpasses, and built-in emergency lanes) and slow down when passing them. However, I've been driving 80+mph before and a police car came up behind me, went around, and kept speeding ahead. From what I can tell a speeding ticket is a lot of paperwork and if you go to court the officer who issued the ticket has to be there (otherwise the judge will cancel the ticket) Thus they prefer to catch people who wont show up at court (out of town license plate, expensive cars) or catch someone going fast enough that the fine is worth the paperwork. Why pull me over at 80 when he can go another 5 minutes down the road and catch someone pushing 100? Interesting about French restaurants and bad food, having been to Paris, I totally understand where that's coming from. I have a philosophy when shopping for good Mexican Food down in Cali - the worst shape the building is in (pealing paint, rotten wood, broken windows ect) the better the food is - why? Because that restaurant wouldn't still be in business in it's current shape if the food wasn't good enough for people to keep coming back. Near my parents house there is a 24h place that's just that, yellow paint repainted so thick it peals off in layers, rot everywhere, two boarded up windows, and black mold ingrained in the tiles... but man - you could drive by that place in 3am in the morning on a Tuesday and see 3 cars in the drive-through and a group of kids lined up at window outside.

[@nicolasbertin8552]

Yeah the "unwritten" speed limit is true for a lot of countries. In Norway, the speed limit is usually 80 km/h, everybody drives 95. Because there it's the opposite of the US: only automatic speed cameras, signed well before. Canada is like the US, you can drive way over (and contrary to popular belief, they're rubbish at driving, talegating, full beams all the time...) but watch out for police cars. I lived in Australia, and over there the fines are so high (like 300 $ for barely over the speed limit) that no one goes over unless deep in the outback. In New Zealand, they're respectful despite their pathetic fines (we received a fine in the mail with a friend, and were scared of the amount, it the end it was 30 NZ dollars, which is like 20 euros...).

[@Lammalord]

yeah there is a price hike on tickets going 25mph over the speed limit, so they want to catch you going 90mph/faster in Cali - I believe the ticket price triples, so a 85mph ticket may cost 350usd, then a 90mph ticket goes up to 1000+ My brother was pulled over going 93 once and the ticket was 1350. The judge ended up *lowering* the clocked speed to 89 and reducing the ticket price to 1000 since it was his first offense. But it's a serious offense (or strike on your license) for going that fast, since that faster is considered an endangerment to others (where as for some reason 89 is not "fast enough") Everyone hates him driving down, he never goes a mile over the posted limit >.>

[@Lammalord]

also, I've lived in South Korea for two years, funny with the signed automatic cameras, all the taxi drivers have hacked gpses (vaguely illegal, no one cares) that track the cameras/speed sensors and will alert them when they have to slow down. Basically resulting in a rollercoster experience of speeding up to 100km/h then slowing to 65km/h every few kilometers when passing by the cameras.

I am enjoying your videos. You forgot to mention that in the US right on red is *only* after coming to a complete stop, otherwise you can get a ticket that is as severe (and costly) as straight-up running the red light. There may also be signs prohibiting a right turn on red from certain intersections. (Same costly ticket...) You did mention to make sure that no one else is coming before turning on red. This is very important. A lot of accidents in the US are caused by people failing to yield the right of way when turning on red to other vehicles as well as to pedestrians. Also in America, unlike what I've experienced in Europe, pedestrians always have the right of way at uncontrolled crosswalks, and should be yielded to. Cheese in a can? Yeah, I bought some when I was a teenager. I thought: "This is really good! I need to buy this often!" 40 years later and that's the only can I ever bought...
