One of the great British past-times is taking the p**s out of ourselves. We know we did bad things. We try to do less now. But we can't change the past.
Load More Replies...Ha! In Australia we do it for you - Australia Day is January 26, the day a British flag was raised at the area that is now Sydney - no, it doesn’t mark the day we became a country, it marks the first official day we became a British penal colony and dispossessed the indigenous folks who’d only been there for 50,000 years, but hey, that’s us
Do you raise a flag for the day you lost a war with the emus?
Load More Replies...Ah yes, the great British tradition of conquering the world in search of spices, only to refuse to use any.
Which is why one of our national dishes is chicken tikka masala. Compared to most of Europe, we *definitely* eat spice!

If there was a a god he would have stuck trump down when he held the Bible in front of the church
I was at a pride parade and some Christians were yelling something about repenting or going to hell and I said “so to clarify you the person yelling at teenagers is going to heaven and all these people around me who gave me pride flags and candy and such are going to hell” and they sort of vaguely nodded. And then I said, “then why would I want to go to heaven?” They did not have an answer.
God probably does love everyone, if he's real. It's his followers who are generally big into hating queer people, trans people, and anyone who isn't Christian.

Load More Replies...We may often blur the lines between humility and self-deprecation, which is why humor poking at oneself is typically widely accepted. However, it is essential to note the difference: the former still acknowledges self-worth, while the latter often leans towards putting yourself down.

I mean I hear you but also it says right in the name "and shoulders".... For a less sassy stance head and shoulders makes an excellent body wash particularly for people with acne prone skin. Additionally it can be used to treat some specific skin infections, for example I was prescribed it to treat tinea versicolor. Knees and toes is still a great name
It’s also important to consider the bleaker side of self-deprecation. An emotional intelligence test conducted by PsychTests revealed that 64% of people who engage in this kind of humor may also prioritize other people’s needs over their own, even if it leaves them resentful or uncomfortable.
Statistics also show that 66% would apologize even if they did nothing wrong, while 54% would not express their opinions if others disagreed. Then, there are the 70% who would spend hours ruminating about remarks others made about them and the 81% who would over-analyze situations.

Load More Replies...Overdoing self-deprecation may damage one's self-esteem. As PsychTest president Dr. Ilona Jerabek explains, the disparaging words you tell yourself could become part of your identity.
“If you continue reinforcing this cognitive pattern rather than challenging it in your inner chatter, it will become entrenched in your belief system,” Dr. Jerabek explained.

Load More Replies...But, of course, there is a time and a place for self-deprecation. It can help you reframe a difficult situation for a bit of levity. According to experts like psychosocial rehabilitation specialist Kendra Cherry, MSEd, knowing when to laugh at yourself is also a sign of healthy self-esteem.
“Instead of beating yourself up for the things you wish had gone differently, being able to laugh at them can help you view the past (and yourself) more positively,” Cherry wrote in an article for Very Well Mind.

Load More Replies...Self-deprecation is also a way of recognizing our flaws. As Cherry notes, seeing your mistakes humorously allows you to explore them with self-compassion.
“This can help you better understand your own behaviors, motivations, and goals, making it easier to navigate life's challenges,” she notes.
Atleast The Bite Marks Are Straight
Actually, braces are not just for vanity. They help your bite and dental health. I never had braces, but during a lot of other dental work I did have my bite adjusted about 10 years ago because I chewed mostly on the left side of my mouth. I didn't realize I was doing it but my dentist could tell from the wear patterns and by checking it with imprints. Because I was used to it I didn't realize I had a problem, but after it was fixed my jaw / mouth is more comfortable. -=== Alternate bad joke answer - We Americans have braces because wen don't want to look British. /j (apologies to brits - I've read your dental health has improved)
Americans who claim to have perfect dental health all over have never been to very much of America or to working class/poor areas.
Load More Replies...Like many people already commented, braces are so much more than cosmetic. Every other kid has worn some kind of braces as in here. We had yearly dentist's checks at school, and everyone needing braces got them for free. So adults very rarely need braces, unless somehow their bite worsened when growing up. I got mine (the nightly ones that pull upper teeth back with a string behind the neck) when I was nine or ten, and my awful headache episodes got better soon and overall it was a really life improving treatment.
I know that USA laugh at UK teeth but it is so classed / Hollywood based; well cut it out. For more than 80 years, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OCED) has been keeping stats on healthy primary teeth around the world. The world DMFT index (decayed, missing and filled teeth) has UK 4th - after Denmark, Germany and Finland (no surprises there). USA was 9th ..... lower than Mexico & Canada ---- just saying....
That's because they put sugar in every single food product here, unfortunately.

Bottom teeth are all chipped from hitting the uppers. Dental insurance will help pay for crowns but braces are " cosmetic only". Sigh.
Load More Replies...No we don't. If the kid has crooked teeth that are affecting their health, you get braces for free

Kid’s Villain Origin Story
"At least I didn't f**k someone who left me after i got pregnant" or whatever the circumstances are
Whether this is the mother or the father saying that makes a hell of a difference. Even more than that, is it a dad who isn't a biological father, nearly telling the truth, or a biological father who got carried away? We need more info before this makes sense.
I think it's more of like... a kid will sometimes say something like "you don't even know who your dad is!" to another kid (of a single mother) as a really mean/bullying thing to say. It's meant almost as a generic insult sometimes, in the way "your mom!" was when I was a kid. I wonder if OP just kind of lost their head for a second and was about to say the equivalent of a mean-bully-kid thing, without actually meaning/intention beyond being cruel in the moment. It doesn't make OP a good person, but I don't know if there's any deep meaning or "I know I'm not his dad" kind of thing happening. I used to yell "Yeah, well, your mom is FAT!" at my sister when I was like 9. At my sister. Who has the same mom as me XD

Think about it - if I clone myself (F) however much I 'bang' myself, I will not go forth and multiply.
with these clones is a very interesting matter and I would probably decide if there was such a possibility to have such a clone even if such a clone would probably tend to get rid of the original. Well, think about it, how is it with these genes? Most people dream about having children, about their genes surviving in order to have a successor, an heir, etc., but consider how great an illusion this is. After all, your children do not have 100% of your genes but only half ! they are a hybrid glued together in an unpredictable way from the genes of both parents and their ancestral lines. Meanwhile, each successive generation again has half the genes from one and the other parent. so how long do you have to wait for your descendant to have the same genes in relation to you as any random person on the street ? eight nine generations and your genes will totally be overwritten by mixing with others and there will be totally nothing left of you ?
