I comment a lot on stories having to do with state governments and legislation or regions of the country. It got me wondering how many people I'm accidentally disparaging when I don't mean everyone in said state or region is terrible. So… Please be as specific or obtuse as your privacy filter requires. I'll start:

I'm in the Bay Area, specifically Oakland. Despite Bay Area hate from some posters, I think it's great. How about you?

Literally asking US Lemmies, I somehow missed that.

Not really? Most people in the US are awake at the same time. Posting at 2am EST will get you biased results

Posting at a time where most Europeans are awake and most Americans are asleep will also get you biased results. The Earth is round. Like I said, it's inevitable. Or am I misunderstanding you somehow?

Read the question. It’s asking Americans for their information at a time when half of Americans were asleep.
