Reminder that your experience as a foreigner is not the same as those born there, particularly if you are a white male with citizenship in a western country, you usually can get away with a lot of trouble that you wouldn’t otherwise have if you were a local. (Because they’d want to avoid causing an international incident)

In my city, some people don’t even have license plate numbers, let alone, liability insurance.

Lmao I use emojis alot of the time

But not every comment is appropriate for emojis, and I feel like overusing it makes me look like a bot or a weirdo, so I don’t do it unless it really fits the tone of the comment

Ayy yo we got Ben Shapiro on Lemmy? 🤣

Anyone who supports the current governments of Russia or China are not really leftists.

Pre-2025, I’d partially agree with you.

Right now? Probably not. The country is undergoing autocratization, I would not consider the current regime a democracy, its a hybrid regime at best.

Maybe in 4 years, the institution will uphold and the rule of law will recover, but if you asked me today to choose a country to reincarnate to, the USA would not be anywhere near #1.

Of couse its still better than North Korea or Taliban-Controlled Afghanistan, but I wouldn’t willing choose the US if I had the rest of the world to choose from. (EU looks like a decent option right now)

Very USA-Centric of you, there are still functional democracies around the world.

Why would they educate you on that.

They don’t even teach people about alternatives to FPTP, good thing there is the internet to cover the missing info public schools decided to hide.

This is the new map of Earth after Alien Imperialists Colonize us

Y’all let go of your phones?

(Yes maybe I need to touch grass lol)

Huh? Is that not just a normal part of settings?

I mean its legal to shoot a bear, but you’re gonna have a bad time if you shoot a human, even if its self-defence.

I was born in C, not recommended.

Restrictive firewall, no porn, hard to get western media, so you’d be stuck with ww2 sino-japanese war tv drama or some cringe romance stuff.

With a population of 1.4 Billion (well, minus the area covered by “E”), you’d most likely end up there.

Did I even mention video games? Yea… that’s gonna be tough to get, definitely no online multiplayers (even if you somehow got a VPN, the ping is gonna kill you).

And your VPN could fail at any time even if you do get it.

Also, OP didn’t specify you get to choose your gender, so if you’re born as a woman in Japan… good luck. (Don’t ask why camera shutter sounds are mandatory on Japanese Phones)

Lol I love to see the conservatives seethe.

Can you imagine the reaction if a AfD German or RN French saw this when they withdraw money. 🤣

hears boss music at home

chuckes “I’m in danger”

When 2 people who have 2 different native languages and are both not english, attempting to communicate via english

I’m more a The Expanse type of person

The hivemind has a doublethink of “Guns are bad, police should be allowed to confiscate them” and simultaneously “Abolish the police”.

Also, purity testing. The Lemmy hivemind has decreed that: if you haven’t committed an assassination against a dictator, you’re not a leftist, you’re complicit, and you deserve to be oppressed.

Monkey paw, you get born as a fish, and spawn-captured/killed immediately.

I don’t think that’s how oligarchy works. The president is the servent of the billionaire CEOs, not the other way around. Know your place, dipshit. Did he not read the terms of selling his soul?
