USAmericans fascinate me endlessly. the politics posts with zero mention of the US at all because of the assumption that everyone reading it is also american. the number of times I've been called stupid or crazy or even just evil in the comments for mentioning a life experience I have as a non-american. the strange assumption that american laws, experiences, politics, culture, and social expectations apply universally to every country. the extremely bizarre (yet unfortunately sometimes correct due to the inescapable exposure to american news) assumption that everyone knows who famous americans are. absolutely baffling. can you imagine if I, a kiwi from aotearoa, did all this? it would be bonkers, right? it would make no sense at all. what you're imagining is exactly what every non-USAmerican experiences online. it's WILD.

Why do Yanks always assume everyone online is American?

Me: I can legally be fired from a public Catholic school for being an atheist.

American Christians: Uh, no, that’s illegal. And it’s also illegal to have public religious schools.

Me: …I’m not American. Different countries have different laws.

My psychiatrist recommended me a self-help book that is not only not a self-help book, and not only a satire of self-help books, but very specifically a (Juvenalian-ish; smelling faintly of agon) satire of one self-help book written in the 1930s by a white man for white men, written by a white man.

Yes, he knows my (former) trade. He knows what my first degree was, he knows what I was before I was ashes. Yes, he knows my current situation. Yes he knows my whole 'learning for the sake of learning so as not to give in to the void' shtick. Or does he? At least, I told him at some point and he tippy-tappied something in my file. But I suspect he's self-medicating quite heavily on the weekends.

Either way, I just didn't have the heart to tell him. He was earnestly trying to help; the inept little white man.

Joker: You know it's just our heat emissions that are hidden, right? They can look out a window and see us coming.

Legion: Windows are structural weaknesses. Geth do not use them.

this loop is throwing me for a loop

mass effect references star trek references mass effect

or if you will mass effect was written by trekkies and was played by people who went on to write star trek.

The Gorn must not use optical data. They’ve evolved, so they must rely on biometrics, heat, and EM signatures.
