Completed a torrent I was downloading for almost 2 years by adding trackers from this list. It helps!

All my life, I've watched the US slide. But it's crazy it's falling apart right now. Seems surreal for some reason.

I care about Americans and America. There are many good people, who care about me, and us. They deserve to thrive in a secure, prosperous country. I don't want to discount a nation just because of the idiots.

I love the African philosophy of ubuntu: 'I am who I am, because of who we all are'

I never did a DNA test but both my parents did... How screwed am I?

Seems to be a cultural thing. Here in Canada I see mL and L most often for drinks.

One quirk of metric I have taken a liking to recently, is in Japan, apparently they measure their object dimensions in mm. 'The size of one sheet of Letter paper in mm is 279.4mm x 215.9mm.' I don't know why, but for some reason I like this.

I went to the states a couple years back. Went to a tavern and was deciding on a beer. Bartender overhears I'm Canadian and tells me the size of the pints in decilitres 🙄

For what it's worth, I'm pretty comfortable with FL oz from reading soda cans and stuff. I just find it crazy how unintuitive metric is to some.

I appreciated his effort, I just thought it was funny

It's funny but it hurts

I really hope the fediverse takes off, so the shittiness of these huge platforms goes away. Imagine the end of data harvesting, targeted ads, monetized outrage etc.
