Hell, trans people staying in the US are in danger of being disappeared now.
- Comment on If the USA and China goes to war, how likely will Chinese-Americans end up in "internment camps" like what happened to Japanese-Americans during WW2? 5 days ago:
China’s government is operating illegal “police stations” inside the United States and Canada
That’d be pretty big if it’s true, how come nobody seems to know about this?
Do you have any good sources on this?
- Comment on Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message? 6 days ago:
Also to prevent people from answering with little more than a link.

No that movie was amazing!
- Comment on Which actor did not have a single bad film? 1 week ago:
Look, I love me some Jason Statham being overly British and kicking ass for upward two hours while barely making a face, so I’m going to say Jason Statham.

Which were they? As in what was their domain name?
- Comment on I eat all 1 week ago:
Oh. Good to know. Thanks ig.
lemmy look into that some more, just in case
- Comment on I eat all 1 week ago:
I’ve been at some Turkish snackbar/pizza place that offered three sizes: M, L and US. That last one was a family portion by itself, damn!
Though that still confirms that two to three slices being a single portion is a US thing.
- Comment on I eat all 1 week ago:
Is this some American meme I’m too European to understand?
Or have I been overeating pizzas?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
But it’s also NoStupidQuestions.
- Comment on Why dont more people live in smaller communities , appart from economic opportunity (WFH is making it possible if not prefferable too) 2 weeks ago:
I think you need to specify your European country, because small French villages have awful infrastructure while their cities have amazing infrastructure.
But even here in the Netherlands, if I’d live in a village and I wanted to go to another village further away I’d need to take the train to the nearest city and then take another train to said village. This often takes much longer than by car. Also, while basic shopping needs like a supermarket, greengrocer and some basic repair shops might be there (maybe just the supermarket) you don’t have access to… Anything else, really, and need to take the car there, too.
- Comment on How do you pronounce "centaur" and why? 2 weeks ago:
I recognise that “kentawor” is correct, but reject it because “sentar” just sounds more correct.

You might be stupid, yeah.
Are the sentences not making sense, is that it?
- Comment on Anon watches It 2 weeks ago:
Is there a username_checksout community, yet?
- Comment on Why is Lemmy only popular in the western World? 2 weeks ago:
I guess so, but it’s still very much a large scale social media as we know it (e.g. YouTube, Twitter, Reddit…), and definitely a far cry from private chats on platforms like FB Messenger or WhatsApp…
- Comment on I'm leaving the US for good, anything I should do before I leave? 2 weeks ago:
Your first three sum up to:
- Italian food but worse
- Mexican food but worse
- Food that’s probably better in most other places
I think OP is set on those in the future, but otherwise good recommendations IG
- Comment on Why is Lemmy only popular in the western World? 2 weeks ago:
Really? Because Weibo is much like Twitter or Instagram in China; everybody and their grandma is on it, it has everything from memes to politicians posting their thoughts. It seems very public to me, albeit if you have an account (which just about everyone there does)
What did you mean by isolated?
- Comment on Why is Lemmy only popular in the western World? 3 weeks ago:
I can tell you, most of South East Asia operates on Instagram and Facebook. And Chinese people’s obsession with Weibo (like Mastodon) and Douyin (Chinese TikTok) are also on their whole own level!
Reddit, what Lemmy aims to replace, is very much Western.
- Comment on Why is Lemmy only popular in the western World? 3 weeks ago:
See, even your metaphor contains US-only brands.
Also, what’t up with Americans speaking in brands?
Why can’t it be a local shop a few streets away from the supermarket? - Comment on Why is Lemmy only popular in the western World? 3 weeks ago:
Geograohically they aren’t, but they’re culturally similar, sure.
- Comment on Now that's an interesting question 3 weeks ago:
It also seems like English changing the letter J from a /j/ sound to a /dzj/ sound didn’t help, going by how “Iacobus” became James (or I could see Jacob in there… With English’ old J)
- Comment on Now that's an interesting question 3 weeks ago:
jimjam5 wouldn’t mind the name Saint Jim?
I feel you’re biased 😋
