Oh, whoops. That went over my head.

What's the issue? They're illustrating the cultural divide rather than discussing policy. The cultural divide is least as relevant to understanding American society as policy differences between the parties.

So one dog is named Rǝx and the other is just "thǝ dog."

But it's redundant in that sentence because it began with "at."

Also not a psychologist, but I would say that's only true if the fear keeps them from enjoying life

As adults, we design our living spaces to be comfortable to us. We don't intentionally make them scary so we can overcome.

Yes. If I understand correctly, it's because the eggs are washed, which strips them of their natural protective coating and causes them to require refrigeration.

Kind of fascinated by the subtle linguistic differences in this comic. Mainly saying "See the..." instead of "Look at that..."

I really don't want to be overly strict with the rules, especially while this sub is so small. But I think this is an important rule, and I'm considering being more strict about its enforcement.

The reason I think it's important is that this is meant to be an educational community. In many cases, I assume people don't say where they're from because they assume it's obvious to people based on their answer. It may be, to people from the US or familiar with its zeitgeist. But this community isn't just for them. The last thing I want is for this community to suffer from US-defaultism.

For that reason, I'm thinking that from here on, if I see an answer that doesn't state which country it's for, I'll give a reminder. After that, the poster will have 24 hours to edit it into their post, and it will be deleted if they have not done so.

What do you think? Too strict? Not strict enough?

I asked this before elsewhere, but I thought it led to some interesting answers.

Ask The World

!asktheworld@lemm.ee

Back on reddit, I really enjoyed participating in the various "Ask " subs, so I'd like to get something similar started here. This community is going to be for general questions for anyone from any country, not directed as a specific country. Ask about culture, lifestyles, geography, whatever you want to know that might be different in a different place.

I hope some of you will be interested. I'd really like to see Lemmy grow in general.

Please remember to say which country you're from. We don't have flairs here.

Because society and our parents themselves gaslight us into thinking they're perfect. It kind of annoys me that not seeing one's parents as flawed human beings is treated as a failure of the child. I knew my parents made some bad decisions. It wasn't my idea to give them absolute power over every aspect of my life.Yeah, they're flawed human beings like me, but I'm the one who suffered because they wouldn't admit to their flaws and reconsider their decisions. It wasn't me who couldn't tell they weren't perfect.

If only that was still true. Internet users used to be a niche counter-culture. Now they're just normal people.
