    Same. Though can we also add a button to hide all content pertaining to US state politics? “The governor of Arkansas-” I live in The Netherlands, that shit has no bearing on me

        To be fair, I am Lithuanian and a lot of stuff online goes like અને પછી તેઓ કેટલીક અસ્પષ્ટ ભાષા બોલવાનું શરૂ કરે છે

        I kinda like it as a soap opera. I hate actual soaps, but this is a better version to watch.

        I can go through so much popcorn.

          I must admit some of it is so hilarious and farcical it does seem like a soap opera… I put on US news for a short spurt every day for giggles… Until that commercial comes on with the slimy woman advertising a deodorant cream she puts in her butt crack

      A huge part of that is american-centric attitudes though. There is the politics sub on Lemmy.world and it’s only for US politics. But it’s not called “usonlypolitics” it’s called “politics”. Somehow they don’t see the problem with that.

      Also the mods are been absolutely bellends about it and are refusing to even acknowledge that that is a problem.

      I got used to it, you just need to look at the US as a union of states like Europe, in which case Arkansas is about equivalent to Lithuania in population (although if you correct for the more states and less pop of the US you get Bulgaria or Finland if you use a ranked method) . The same could be done for China, India and Brazil.
