Most people on LW that are from the US do not know what liberals are. They are often referring to "US libs" which, in most cases, say and do things that are anti-liberal or anti-libertarian. While this is apparent to most, to these Lemmings it is not due to the saturation of US media, social or otherwise.

In truth, a liberal supporting a fascist is as "classic lib move" as the anarchist fighting for an absolute monarchy. By definition, these things are impossible. So the joke is being told wrong due to being misinformed or to spread more of it.

I've seen the one of the chimpanzee mouth fucking a bullfrog. So we're closer to chimps than we thought...

Oh, wow. The original is much better. The modern one is very slapdash. They won't be attracting antifa graphic designers, that's for sure.

Some times Person A can be so fallacious or incorrect, Person B may assume they're intentionally wasting time by trolling, doubting that Person A is actually unintentionally that incompetent or incapable of discourse.

This usually starts when Person A ignores what Person B has said or starts applying common argument fallacies, seemingly for the sake of being right as a priority over empathising or broadening perspective.

Of my many years socialising on the Internet, it should be very rare to be called a troll; so much so that if it happens, it's likely I'm being a total twat entirely out of touch with reality. So, if you're finding this happens to you regularly, it may be food for thought to at least listen/read what someone is saying and ponder on it before responding. If you start wasting their time, prepare tocontinue being called a troll.

I don't notice this in my country. Most bins have a cigarette bin attached and most smokers don't just light up anywhere. It's water bottles here instead.

Former colleague used to say "for all intensive purposes"every few sentences.

Yep. Works fine. There are some sites not using ad services where hard coded stuff appears, but you can set up element block rules so they never appear.

Yeah, I use Vivaldi and it's built-in blockers and privacy are great. So much control and customisation despite being Chromium based.

Welcome to APAC! It takes about 20 years to see all the best parts and every year after that is discovering more.

You're right. Have always considered Australia the US and NZ Canada.

Americans fit in well in Australia so long as they're friendly and check their ego at the door. Australian culture is a big moosh of many cultures but tends to cringe at American culture. You kind of have to be more about yourself rather than be all about being an American, then you will fit in.
