You might ask a local lawyer who knows your rights, not international nerds at Lemmy.
As an international Lemmy user, my biased, uninformed, misguided and objectively wrong perception is that Americans solve these things with guns.
Source: Never been to USA, but I’ve seen lots of Hollywood action movies produced in the 80s and 90s.
problem with solving things with guns is that you will just be outgunned if you have to hold ground.
But in those movies Mr Giga Chad Protagonist never runs out of guns, ammo or one liners. Taking a few hits will only make him angry.
As long as you run out of bubblegum before ammo, you will be alright.
Less likely in Maine, but not too far off.
I noticed you modified the label from the original message. Are you suggesting you're not a nerd?
edit: Also, if we're talking about the nineties, don't forget our deployment of ninjas.
I edit nearly all of my messages, because I swipe too fast, autocorrect does its own thing etc. Usually, it takes about two seconds to figure out a better way to say it, but those seconds start ticking after sending the first version.
That's fine - I was just making a joke because the original comment referenced "international nerds" and you referred to yourself as an "international lemmy user." I was joking that you were distancing yourself from the nerds, even though just being on lemmy makes it likely you are a nerd. All good!
LOL. Good catch. Maybe that’s one of the things I should have fixed in the fifth edit.
Sadly, the Americans who have seen those movies came to the same conclusion.
If I ever start a band, I'm calling them "International Nerds."
Also ask ChatGPT. Always a solid move
