part 353 whalers on the moon

[aphanon_meme]

We've been here over a year now! I can hardly believe it! Dreamwidth's been pretty good, I'd say, with almost no downtime to speak of and all that! Anyway... how is your spring going? Or I guess it's almost summer, isn't it? Hopefully it's been well! I've been catching up on work and new movies, all very exciting stuff, I'm sure.

Enjoy part 353!

Re: Unpopular opinions

i figure everyone naturally thinks those from outside their country/culture are weird.

but i do think in america we tend to forget that we don't count for quite that much of the world population. i'm an immigrant and have lived in america most of my life, and one thing that i've noticed is that in america, there isn't quite as much awareness of other countries than other countries have of america (mind, not that the awareness of america is accurate facts about america, but rather that other countries seem more generally aware somewhere-ish of american cultural norms as seen in movies/tv/music/games from america).

Yeah, this is a big part of it.

A good thing about being born in Europe specifically is also that you're very aware your country isn't the only one in general from a very young age. My generation at least had the whole "unity in difference" thing really ingrained into our brain. We're used to the idea that we're not the default.
