  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.

  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

South Africa. Might be eligible for UK citizenship though thanks to a recent-ish change that allows maternal ancestry (how progressive of them), just need the funds to get that ball rolling. And I missed out on Dutch citizenship because my father had to be the only one of his siblings born in South Africa and not the Netherlands.

I'm from the US, I live in France right now. I miss my home, but I fear that there will be no home to return to.

[–] ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Where in France are you? 👋

Originally Ohio, now the American Southwest (I won't be more specific than that).

Left Ohio a decade ago, never going back that place is terrible. There's like, no sunlight, gives ya the SADs (seasonal affective disorder) real bad in winter. Life in the desert is nice, basically infinite hiking. I do a different trail every week, usually around 5 miles or so. I've got a big 13 mile loop planned with some friends soon, I'm excited.

I'm from Canada, and they think I'm slow, eh?

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Dude, just because you're the last one to see the sun go down, just means you're in Ucluelet and you're right where you want to be.

That ain't slow. That's "well placed" or also "well paced."

Carry on, pace-setter. Show us how to be.

This was a delightful response to a reflex Simpsons joke. Beautiful, man!

Oh is it because I’m brown? Huh? I don’t ask you what country you’re from!

[–] josteinsn@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

From Norway. Lived in a handful of countries the last decade or so. Probably going back to Norway this summer. Always a bigger culture shock than going abroad.

So pond.

Britain is across the pond.

The pond is the Atlantic Ocean.

You're in the Atlantic Ocean.

Sorry but did you just answer a question about country with everything but country, or is Ohio a city in (on?) Kiribati?

[–] LilB0kChoy@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

Kiribati is a country in Micronesia. Maybe they mean Kiribati originally, but Ohio right now?

I'd guess a lot of Americans would say a state first, especially now. Probably don't feel as attached to the country as their state.

[–] RaspberryTuba@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

We have everything in Ohio.
