I don’t have hard data, but it seems self-evident just from my personal experience. And going back to the original point, it’s a nation of 400 million.

Yeah, occasionally. Honestly that’s fine, the annoying thing is when they assume everyone else is, too.

Yup. It was after something else little me was actually trying to watch. Couldn’t unsee.

Yeah, I haven’t noticed an unusual amount. Lemmy is still mostly Americans, and then maybe Brits and Germans. Just anyone that can speak English and has had broadband long enough to acclimatise to nerd culture, basically.

I can’t tell if they haven’t thought through what that would mean for them themselves, or they know it’s BS but it’s still good for marketing.

There’s many kinds, but yes.

I know canola has the lowest saturated fat of them all, which is also why it doesn’t smoke easily.

This would have worked way better centuries ago. Now, anything with a coast is a bit of a surprise bag.

Australia is far from England, and NZ is literally antipodal to Spain which is close, but they’re pretty English and not very Papuan or Indonesian.

Other plant oils are even better yet, if you don’t insist on the consistency. Except peanut, maybe? I forget.

Learn a second language and keep up with the language your parents speak. You will regret being a brat about not wanting to speak this language especially as your family members pass.

Languages are the one thing that gets harder as you get older. Kinda why immersion schooling seems like a decent idea, even if it delays other skills a bit.

American English is the most spoken kind and pretty close to British RP, so it’s not Quebecois. If you want a weird dialect, maybe Jamaican patois, or some of the ones from backcountry UK.

I think you already have the answer, and know everyone else here agrees with you.

Creepy floating eye is a trope for a reason.

A lot of medicines work in animal models but then fail in primates or specifically humans. There’s some great veterinary drugs out there as a result.

I’m very anti-Zionist, the other guy wasn’t. 'nuff said.

I’d go through yours for things to misquote, but you’re a month-old sockpuppet.

Sure. Please explain that to whichever mod is the Zionist. Maybe I’ll actually speak out against it again, then.

I was trying to debunk someone pro-Israeli, so…

No, you misunderstand. I was arguing against a Zionist.

That actually got me a temp ban here once, as well.

It was even a nuanced “both sides are human” take, not Hamas is awesome. I know, I wasn’t expecting it for that either.

Yeah. The thing is, it’s the main emotional motivator there is here.

Yeah, but at that point it was pretty much a ghost town. The only acceptable commentary to some people is whatever they type to themselves.
