Thanks, that makes it weird as fuck that they're going to bat for Thatcher Island
Wasn't it obvious from the literal start that that person was Irishβ½
Literally no, what kind of weird ass non-brit uses Yank every sentence?
I think because they mod !noyank@lemmy.ml.
ETA: What a stupid, unproductive, corrosive thread this fucking was.
I only just realized that "ETA" in Internet comments stands for "edited to add"
Go easy on them. These people can't point to countries on maps.
Please don't think that I'm necessarily agreeing with your stances and attitudes and so forth, but do think that I find ShimmeringKoi to be kind of embarrassing right now.
Take time out of your day and think about why you come across br*tish
I'm just gonna be honest, you're being cringe right now. "No it's not my fault I mistook this person's nationality, it's their fault for coming across to me as the wrong nationality" β no, just own up to your mistake, for God's sake, it's not hard. Preferably you wouldn't have made the mistake in the first place β you might've even been able to avoid it if you'd just read more carefully, given it even a second longer of thought, and weren't so quick to make assumptions.
You have laid bare how your mind works: "If someone's not from the USA they're from the UK"
Learn a bit about the world before talking about it.
Have you just learned that there's more than two possible countries for a person to be from? π€£π€£
*exasperated sigh*
The Bull McCabe for starters
When did I say anything like that? π€£π€£π€£
Nobody mentioned Britain, like?
The reading comprehension on ye, honestly. Imagine being this thick and still trying to lecture foreign countries on their poltics and history.
