I'd rather have a "Would you like to hide all Sports related Content?" button than a "Would you like to hide all NSFW content?" button (lemmy.world)

Same. Though can we also add a button to hide all content pertaining to US state politics? "The governor of Arkansas-" I live in The Netherlands, that shit has no bearing on me

    To be fair, I am Lithuanian and a lot of stuff online goes like અને પછી તેઓ કેટલીક અસ્પષ્ટ ભાષા બોલવાનું શરૂ કરે છે

    I got used to it, you just need to look at the US as a union of states like Europe, in which case Arkansas is about equivalent to Lithuania in population (although if you correct for the more states and less pop of the US you get Bulgaria or Finland if you use a ranked method) . The same could be done for China, India and Brazil.

    Alright, polandball time: I'll ask around the EU++ who wants to play Arkansas in the school play...if nobody takes it, I'm giving it to Hungary :D because they're being a dick lately. So, which state do you want? I hear Idaho's nice :) Germany already took California, France took New York, Italy took Texas, Spain took Florida, the Netherlands took Pennsylvania, Poland took Illinois, Romania got Georgia, Sweden asked for Michigan and Austria asked for Massachusets, Finland got offered Indiana, but picked Arizona, lol etc etc...do you want Wisconsin? Also: UK guest starring as Canada and Turkey as Mexico lol

    Idaho, the mountainous parts, are nice. Some of the people are nice. But in general, Idaho has some of the most batshit insane stuff happening in it in regards to cults and crazy people. It's been getting crazier in recent years. They were an absolute mess during the pandemic and needed tons of help from other states who then couldn't look after locals in need.

    I was trying to be inclusive, because I'm not american and I don't want to disparage those places I've never been to or know that well...but since you say it...rural states sound like a backwater nightmare :/

    I kinda like it as a soap opera. I hate actual soaps, but this is a better version to watch.

    I can go through so much popcorn.

    A huge part of that is american-centric attitudes though. There is the politics sub on Lemmy.world and it's only for US politics. But it's not called "usonlypolitics" it's called "politics". Somehow they don't see the problem with that.

    Also the mods are been absolutely bellends about it and are refusing to even acknowledge that that is a problem.
