The next time you hear someone say they're just vibing in life without a job, just look at this image.

This is, apparently, Shanin Blake. This is a picture from 2017.
Arguably, there's a lot to criticize her about, but her leading a carefree lifestyle and finding success in publicizing it doesn't seem like one.

World has always been fucked (see Billy Joel's "we didn't start the fire" for simple reference). Life is what you make of it
And I can't make anything of it so I'm leaving

It's so weird seeing people making poor interpretations of another ethnicity's culture their entire identity. I wonder if there are weirdos in India rocking lederhosen or milkmaid outfits at random music festivals and ranting to strangers about Calvinism?
The Japanese Elvis culture springs to mind.
Also, there are "cowboys" everywhere in the world.
You mentioned lederhosen and of course those types exist outside of Germany too.

You really shouldn't. But if you do, you should consider doing something that would make your death meaningful.
Not going to say anything further.

They're shitty junk food with nostalgia. As other's have said, try our Chinese food. And our Mexican food. Also hit up an American restaurant here, especially a diner. Oh and wherever you go ask the locals about their local food and try it, (it's not weird, we do it when we travel domestically) you've probably heard of stuff like Chicago deep dish and Philly cheeses teams, bur basically every city has something they cook good or unique and are super proud of, like Cincinnati has a style of chili they put on spaghetti.
America's best cuisine isn't our mass produced mass market foods, its the stuff immigrants came up with to square their cuisine with the available foods and local tastes.
Southern food has entered the chat.
In all seriousness, southern food is some of the best food the US has to offer IMO. There's a shitton of diversity within the category and it has a lot of flavor and spice.

Americans typically have leftovers that they take home
Are you just not aware of how overweight Americans are on average? As i understand it we have been conditioned to believe these insane portions are "a meal". I was simply unable to start losing weight until i traveled to Mexico to discover and internalize what a normal meal portion is. If you go to a restaurant in the US, you should expect to see most of the people around you finishing their plates
As someone from one of the most obese states in the union, the core of the issue is most definitely not portion sizes. Food quality is shit and most people will eat ultraprocessed foods on the daily because money is tight for most people and fresh/healthy food is hella expensive assuming there's even access to it. If you have the same amount of calories in ultrprocessed food vs real food, your body will still gain more weight from the ultra processed one because it is less satiating because your body burns through it much faster.
Small scale organic farming used to be the norm in my grandma's time, but nowadays younger people don't know what an okra plant looks like or cracked open a pecan. Additionally if you're even able to access and afford fresh produce it's mainly water and is not nutritionally dense. This is an issue with the entire food system that's been built on shipping stuff from far away and profit incentives. Not to mention the targeted advertising of ultra processed foods to kids...
Also, there's virtually no public transit and the small amount of pedestrian and bike infrastructure is laughable and outright dangerous. You have to have a car to get to most places and most places require a lot of driving to get to depending. That means sitting down for most of the day. It's hard for most people to get exercise in daily life without being super intentional about it, and a lot of people are overworked and underpaid on top of that, so they understandably just wanna relax. As with most things in life, the answer is always complicated.

I'm not sure I get why you responded to my comment.

Okay. I was confused because I never mentioned anything about dreadlocks.

I have enough room to pace in a circle while listening to music and emotionally spiral over my past failures, perpetual inadequacy, etcetera. Also I sometimes need to sleep so I lay down at times. Also it isn't seven days a week, I need to go out to the desert and deliver vegetables and other produce every Friday.
I feel like I am being trolled, but if this is actually true, it sounds interesting
-

You'll be able to go through life saying that a lot.
Eventually, the only thing you'll fear is when that might end. -
Trustafarian is an absolutely brilliant insult.
why would you insult somebody for being middle-class

50 years ago most waterways in the US were so polluted as to be dead to wildlife. Cities buildings were black with pollution.
Global warming is actually minor compared to the immediate death people were facing decades ago. For example unchecked ozone depletion could have resulted in the destruction of all rice crops on Earth. An analogy that comes to mind is the Black Plague vs Covid. It's not that Covid wasn't (isn't) a problem. And like Covid we are deploying modern technology to fix the problems. Solar is being installed everywhere. The US is going backwards temporarily. But the US isn't the world. Europe and China are getting things done.
People who see the problems are the absolutely not the ones who should be killing themselves. They're the only ones that can contribute to the future.
Difference is that, those problems had relatively easier solution which was being worked on. This does not hold for global warming, we are not even trying!
Honestly, it's pathetic that you try to look at things rose-tinted. Is it that hard to accept imminent crisis?

The best way to fight the system is to be jobless. Imagine if no one had a job? Bye bye capitalism. The end. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

For sure, and props to you for being open about that—something this post is arguing for IRL (trustafarians tend to conceal their privilege)
