    Before people take this too seriously, I think Toy Story was set in America and so was Inside Out and they seemed pretty slim. I’m sure there’s a lot of others too.

      Additionally, there was no America in WALL-E, it was all Buy n Large corporation. Not that I disagree with the memes premise, however.

      I just think Americans should learn to take a joke considering they’re living in one ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

          Honey… you first. It’s kind of hard for us to make fun of your culture when milk can grow one faster. You’ve got like 5 unique things to your country overall and (somehow) two of them involve dead or endangered kids. Otherwise any individual insult has to be state specific because the United States is the only country on the planet that even the 10th psychiatrist would say is schizophrenic.

            I read that whole thing in Stamets’ “The scientists are talking” voice, and it was both savage and beautiful.

        I never saw that! I heard great reviews though, but I think the whole Disney+ stuff kinda buried it from being a “must-see”.

        Ah, you’re right. They moved to San Francisco, but yes the family was originally from Canada.

        I mean, there were some slim San Francisco people in the movie there still too. From like the bus and the school kids! … I feel like I’m fumbling … lol
