Why do English have better historical dramas than Americans?

I ate the last kebab wrap today.

Ben K. benk
So I saw this deal today to get three kebab sandwiches for the price of two. I was like, yeah it's extra but I'll put them in the fridge and eat them later. Well, after eating two I am already tired of them. It was a good deal, but they were basically just plain wrapped in bread, nothing but meat and some onion and a pickle.

@SteveTheDragon @thor Actually the word "problematic" itself is a problem, imho

Ben K. benk
@SteveTheDragon @thor I find those people problematic

Ben K. benk
@SteveTheDragon @thor No they don't hate it, everyone accepts guys (pl)

Ben K. benk
@thor Oh yeah "you people" is for when you are being bigoted lol

Ben K. benk
@thor It is technically what the word "you" itself means, though that meaning has been lost over time. I come from a region where we say "you guys", although that's strictly plural. I think "y'all" can also be honorific, like speaking to a single person more politely, which is common in many languages.

Also can't stress how jingoistic and xenophobic blocking entire country ranges are? You really think "zomg Russian hackers" can't circumvent that easily with a VPN?
