This movie honestly started as a Star Wars script. And if made in that universe, it would have made the sequel trilogy look good in comparison. Now it's like Netflix ordered a new Star Wars movie from Wish.com.

Not to be pedantic, but neither Automatic Transmission Fluid nor Data Encryption Algorithms have any kind of jurisdiction in any country on the planet. Op provided enough context clues to understand the country they're talking about.

The only crime they committed is not including three words in a bracket to say "everywhere (in the US)" while still mentioning the jurisdiction of the three letter agencies in that country.

Is it US centralism thinking? Sure. But it's not like OP left out all the necessary info to determine where and what they were talking about. Not to mention their entire post is a joke with a clear punchline. I don't think anyone here is too stupid to understand the use of "jurisdiction" in OPs message, or the punchline it leads to, so why are you pretending to be that way to make a point? It simply weakens your point.

Imo there are much better places and comments to point out US exceptionalism BS than a throw away joke with enough context clues to understand it.

I would honestly like to see a reference to whatever study you're quoting. Because all the data I've looked at clearly shows the US getting hit harder by COVID than anywhere else.

We're #1 in both infections and deaths. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1093256/novel-coronavirus-2019ncov-deaths-worldwide-by-country/

Over 100 million cases of it have been documented here, with over 1.1 million deaths. This also places us at the second highest of per capita deaths in the world under one country: Peru.

Our COVID death rate accounts for 1/6 of the total world deaths from COVID.

A nice mouse and keyboard. Especially for a gaming PC. There's a few good mechanical keyboards you can get for under $100 too. HyperX isn't bad, and has a nice price point on their mouse and keyboards imo. (Though they were bought by HP last year, so who knows about the future quality of the brand)

OR a nice headset if you don't have one yet.
