Stereotypical American: Fat, stupid, drunk, with a gun.

Your president is at least two of these, possibly three. Unlikely four at the same time, but who knows.

He's a teetotaler, so, he wouldn't be drunk.

Teetotaler? I think the person you're thinking of has been dead for more than a decade now, and was German.

I forgot to add the stereotype of "needlessly aggressive" and its sister "obnoxiously loud."

He's referring to Trump, hence the 'stereotypical American'.

Isn't obnoxiously loud also a British stereotype (HA, see what I did there?)?

I don't think it's part of the stereotype? I suppose those forming the stereotypes would know better than I, though :P

Not British, no, but both German, French, and Italian could apply.

I think it's less obnoxiously loud and more boisterous and lively, though, for those countries. Though I don't believe I've heard the "loud German" one.

I am not actually fat. Or stupid, I hope. But I fit most of these stereotypes. Needlessly aggressive, and I can be pretty loud.

Well, we could put two and two together and write a book: "The Shit that Hans and Max Did: You Won't Believe This Shit."

My actual WTF here is that only ITMO and SPbGU are among the Russian winners - these are some of the top universities of St. Petersburg. I would have also expected to see MGU and MIEM HSE of Moscow among the winners, but it doesn't look like they even participated. That's pretty strange to me.

Can't say I resent them, but of course I do, damn northerners always taking all of our glory, second capital my ass, you know what we have that you don't? a sun, that's what. Assholes

I say, pass them back to us, if they are being a bother. It has been rather empty since Norway walked out, and having Ingria would aid in snapping Estonia back up into the fold one day. I must say that you used the land more wisely than we did, St. Petersburg looks quite impressive, and after all, sun-light is nothing to fuss over. It comes back every summer, plenty of time to lap up enough to last over the winter.
I can assure you, after one year or so back under the gold and blue, they will be much less eager to give lip to old brother Moscow. Ve have vays.

Usually when i see an argument regarding giving kids trophies, its that they dont feel these kids are being made to work for that reward, are just getting a trophy for participating and nothing else. I literally got a participation trophy for playing on the 2nd grade soccer team, even though we never once won a game and really i was one of the worse players. A "worlds greatest dad" mug can be bought for $10, i think my employer sells them, or did, technically its not a trophy even if it was a given as a gift, unless he won it in a raffle or something, so i dont see how that detracts from his argument in itself. What exactly is weird about that?
