One could argue the L is a manifestation of how nature/canada/the world also views the US country it’s situated over.

Where did they do this??

Today I learned that by being someone’s neighbor, I’m viewed as “choosing to engage with them”.
- Comment on Speak American 1 week ago:
That “meer” thing has to do with where you are in America. Same with words like “roof” or “pecan”.

It’s always good to communicate on the road, the more information the better. I’m not sure why anyone would give you a hard time about this, unless they’re insecure (about what, I couldn’t analyze). Signals tell everyone around you what you’re about to do. Keep up the good work.

Incompetence, it seems, is what is valued here in America to go up the ranks.

They don’t even consider themselves separate. They believe “China” is just in a period of rebellion. Right at the end of the article is your answer: “Until Taiwan formally declares itself independent of the rest of China — or until Taiwan is recognized by the international community as being independent of the rest of China — Taiwan’s status as a country will continue to be questioned.”

Did you read the link or are you just here to troll? According to the UN, they’re not recognized. Some smaller countries recognize them as an independent though.
- Comment on The one good thing about all this 1 month ago:
Basically the People’s Republic of China (China) says that Taiwan is part of China, while the Republic of China (Taiwan) refers to the area under its control as “the Taiwan area,” or “the free area.” It refers to the rest of China as “the mainland area,” which the Taiwanese government has described as being under a “Period of Communist Rebellion.”
You can read this sum up here: Link.

Of course he does. His whole ascent to Presidency has had plenty on display. This isn’t new. It’s because people see him behave this way that he got this far. That’s the problem.

Yes, the US is a mirage of a first-world country.
- Comment on Leo knew it was a joke and laughed because it was just a joke 3 months ago:
the latter of which many look up to
When I read your whole comment, I feel like you’re ascribing the blame in the wrong place. It’s the “many” who choose to look up to these people, using their standards in place of their own, that I would say is the real issue here. Leo doing this does not normalize dating women for looks for me. Neither does Pharrell Williams buying a cybertruck and riding around in it influence or normalize cybertrucks for me. If people want things based on superficial reasons, they’ll learn that it’s only superficial and doesn’t have substance.
- Comment on Why are dwarf planets not considered planets but dwarf stars are considered stars? 3 months ago:
I kind of agree - though I’d say they are both about what they’re “doing”, as the small rock can’t do what the big rock can (clear its celestial neighborhood).

At this point I feel this is a self-coup, happening in America.

- Comment on This is America 3 months ago:
Great. And I am telling you that my experience is otherwise. Also, I’ve never heard USians, that’s a first.
- Comment on This is America 3 months ago:
That last bit is definitely not unique to the US. I’ve heard people from all parts of Europe, even when in the US, say they’re from Gloucester, or Antwerp, or Perth, or where have you. It’s not like they immediately say England, Belgium, or Australia every time. You’re definitely nitpicking this point.

Maybe there’s an assumption that it’s not 1950, it’s 75 years later now. But if people don’t really know their history, they are doomed to repeat it. As an American, I feel that the average ordinary citizen is not very educated in history. And no wonder, how we treat the education system in this country.
