the creature washed up on a beach near Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, she said: “[He] ran down to the beach with a chainsaw, cut off the whale’s head and then bungee-corded it to the roof of the family minivan for the five-hour haul back to Mount Kisco, New York.

All the while it gets further and further from the requirements. So you open five more conversations, give them the same prompt, and try pick which one is least wrong.

All the while realising you did this to save time but at this point coding from scratch would have been faster.

I didn’t call you a troll. I’m not arguing. So, what admission?

You keep making up these things in your head based on stuff that’s been said and going off to some other field to build a bunch of strawmen. It’s clearly not working. Subsequently, the original comment remains entirely unrelated to anything you are rambling about. It’s delusion at this point.

Who said I lived in SK? Oh, that’s right, I did. I meant Belgium.

But again, now you see why it never mattered to the point I was making which you seem to have literally never understood since you became obsessed with “here” for some reason.

You are loony.

I can only assume, you are wanting to know where I’m from? Even though it’s already been explained and you think you’ve asked but haven’t.

South Korea, New Zealand, England, Australia, and Canada. But, again, has nothing to do with anything as these are just places I have lived while there are many more I have been and I won’t bother listing them all. That’s been explained quite clearly for to correct your erroneous assumptions and get you back on topic. Seems to be pointless, though.

And of course, if that’s not it, then I have no idea. At this point, it seems you’re either simple or a troll.

You’re clearly not blessed with basic literacy. Perhaps start with placing a question mark somewhere so I have something to dodge.

The things that happen in your head, you need to externalise them so people don’t think you’re mad. Finding hilarity doesn’t help, it’s just weird now.

EatATaco, you have not asked a question.

No one has stated the US is the worst in the world, so I don’t know why you typed what you did.

“Here” is “not the US”; and that is the point. To state where I am would make no sense but it also wouldn’t be respective of where I have been.

I did not think such a point would be a challenge to grasp, let alone be upsetting. I’ll encourage you to stop making assumptions that upset you. That’s a you problem and it’s not nice to point fingers at others to spite the follies you’re “willing to bet on.”

Go watch the pre-race and opening ceremonies to Formula 1 races and compare the spectacle of USA to any other nation. You’ll find that “here” is basically “not USA”. Celebrities do exist, but they aren’t granted much status and often move to the USA to try garner that, as this seems to be the only place on the planet where popularity is a career path.

Ah, okay. Makes sense.

But I have assumptions about OP now which I think are probably correct.

SmartTube is so good. You get it for no ads; you keep it for all the dope features. It’s like YT way back in the day with more advanced shit for anyone that loves tinkering with all the fiddly bits.

I can’t imagine living in such a weird celebrity country.

Very few people give a shit about celebrities here, let alone what they think, let alone what they think about politics. No one would care for who endorsed who, it very much means absolutely nothing.

Because it’s a bit of an echo chamber and people get too involved in stuff with anonymity. You will find this sort of social behaviour all over the internet and from any “camp”. It’s just bad people.

Yeah. Japan’s usually going to be number 1 in Asia, but we all go for whoever of those three teams is still in and usually two of them are in the WC. China’s just insignificant. I think even NZ is higher than them and they’re a low-population nation obsessed with rugby.

I imagine they’d be sent to Ukraine to be killed by an arsenal Made In USA.

a humiliating 7-0 loss to World Cup rivals Japan

Uuuh. Maybe China considers Japan a rival, but Japan wouldn’t consider China at all. If an actual world-class team like Japan has a rival, it would be Korea. Both teams obviously well above China in rankings.

You could consider Australia a rival, but honestly the two countries and the fans love each other too much.

Wait til you look at homicide by firearm and realise that the US is more dangerous that some countries in active war.

Haha, yeah, guns are totally legal here. I have a lot of friends with guns and even two friends that make a living off shooting. The difference between here and the US is that they’re seen as tools that easily have deadly consequence if abused and therefore are regulated as such. Some gun owners in the US will be like, “Duh”, but the laws in the US do not reflect the same sentiment. Everyone has a right to firearms, but the public servants have measures in place that first say, “Okay, but why?” I mean, I’d love a to have a lot of things on my property, but obviously that’s no possible in the interests of public safety.

That QLD shooting can happen (and will), but not with the regularity of more torn countries. Certainly not ones like the USA which are sort of in a league of their own with a handful of other countries that at least have an excuse like drug cartels and rampant crinal warfare.

Oh, wait. There I go thinking I live in Australia and it’s real again. Gawsh, I’m so conditioned.

Well apparently I’m actually in some sort of Truman Show dome.

Australia Doesn’t Exist

And y’all know about the so-called “gun laws” here and how swiftly and easily everything got changed. Seems too good to be true 🤔🤔🤔🤔

For the US, I think it would be so slow at catching up to more developed standards of gun control that it would be generational and not a matter of years. It’s not so much the laws that are currently in place that’s the issue, it’s the lack of regulation that’s created such an ingrained culture that’s going to take a long time to evolve. So, technology like this would stil definitely be utilised in the future.

My thoughts, anyway.

And honestly, I didn’t even realise there was another school shooting in the US. Internationally, I guess it just gets covered less and less because it’s not really “news” anymore.

I always figure it’s someone whose life has become so pathetic, they bitterly downvote every single comment to try feel some control. And as a result, they feel like the Phantom of the Socials. Alone, but the true master of the place.

“Everyone must wonder, ‘Who keeps downvoting us?’ It is I! The true Master of Lemmy and- No, mother!.. Yes, mother!.. I tried but nobody wants to talk to me!.. I don’t want to!.. Yeah, she’s cute!.. I don’t want you to do that!.. Mother put the phone down!”
