OP’s pic is just the British way of saying “our national pastime is watching dry paint dry, and we’re most pleased to say that we’re rather proud of that fact!”

It’s the British we’re talking about. Anything other than fish and chips, mushy peas, or bubble and squeak is a bit too aggressive for their traditionally unrefined tastes. The poor sods basically had to be forcefully introduced to anything other than boring.
Take yer chip butty and go back to believing whatever your instagram feeds tell you, consoled by the fact that yer mushy peas and jellied eel are are the pinnacle of civiliz(s)ed cuisine.
Fuck.
The Canucks?
Fuck.
Are you telling me you’ve been addressing roughly three hundred thirty one point four million people here on Lemmy, and expect a representative response from all of those 331.4 million people, right here, on this platform?
Or are you just really frustrated, as are many of those same Americans?
When you say “you Americans”, are you referring to Chinese-Americans? Spanish-Americans? Vietnamese-Americans? Haitian-Americans? Mexican-Americans? Irish-Americans? Hmong-Americans? Russian-Americans? African-Americans? Filipino-Americans? Polish-Americans?
Or just Americans?
Other than flavor, how are ranch corn nuts different from regular corn nuts?
Sure! Like they said, it just felt good to do something that they felt the police couldn’t control or understand. From OP’s perspective, they needed to be able to exercise control over those that were controlling OP. Easy to understand.
That said, the police and Stasi are (given the time) tasked with prosecuting and attacking far more than what OP could have known about, and given the relatively playful nature of children in even some of the most dire circumstances, the police and Stasi didn’t have limitless resources to chase down something that, over time, produced no significant threat.
Both the police and the Stasi were wary and paranoid, but even they have their limits, and they weren’t completely stupid. They knew they had to devote their resources to far likelier threats.
As OP said, she wanted to feel in control, and no one can really blame them. OP felt good, and that’s what matters.
No one actually cared, but at least they felt good about painting rocks.
It Is What It Is
Wait till she finds out there’s literally millions of others just like the one in the pic
“You wanna Christmas card? You wanna Christmas card?! All right here, here’s your Christmas card!”
“😵💫”
There’s a saying: familiarity breeds contempt.
It’s a reference to Tha Grate Biffinski:
It’s the British. Everything is piss to them. It’s their fetish.
