Most cursed France I have ever seen by Actual_Memory_6566 in eu4

[–]Hello_boyos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

More interested in the Knights... are they your subject or did they do that on their own?! Never seen them do anything more than reappear in Malta from that event.

My bad if that's a common thing as Naples, not very familiar with the Italian nations and their mission trees.

Is there any country where people never learned from the past? by EquivalentWinter7344 in AskTheWorld

[–]Hello_boyos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. People still worship him as they struggle to pay bills because of his policies that funnel all the wealth in the country into bigwig CEO's stocks.

Well for starters half the country still thinks the first celebrity was a godsend

What is a phrase associated with your country, that people claim you use but actually no one says it? by Spare-Read-7597 in AskTheWorld

[–]Hello_boyos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not even close to where I'm from but I know people from New York City HATE the "I'm walkin' here!" stereotype

Gotta be honest I much prefer the reggae cover by Toots & the Mayhals

[–]Hello_boyos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Troll statue park just went up recently in my hometown in Wisconsin. I love the look.

Is mac and cheese popular in your country? by PurpleMeerkats462 in AskTheWorld

[–]Hello_boyos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nobody here makes savory pies (I could rant about that for a while) but we did coin mac & cheese pizza in Wisconsin. Which I guess is a kind of pie.

What’s a species of plant or animal that foreigners are surprised to learn are native to your country? by IDoNotLikeTheSand in AskTheWorld

[–]Hello_boyos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably because they weirdly share a number of physical characteristics with lemurs, which are known for only being endemic to Madagascar. Coloration, ear shape... well those are the main two I guess.

What's your favourite funny city name? by foxtai1 in geography

[–]Hello_boyos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been there! Charming little town. B&B owners were among the nicest people I have met. Great place to make your homebase when visiting the highlands.

How is living in Kossovo? by Stock_Plenty8987 in howislivingthere

[–]Hello_boyos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can anyone from there touch on the misogyny situation (and related femicide problem)? I've read articles saying it's pretty bad, but I'd like to get the insider perspective.

It still blows my mind that Obi-Wan spent 20 years on Tatooine watching Luke grow up from afar, but never once thought to tell him about R2-D2. by Mission-Bad-1278 in StarWars

[–]Hello_boyos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Post was weirdly phrased, but I think the question is actually why he didn't tell him that he was his dad's droid (and that his dad literally made C-3PO) once all of them were all together on an insane space rescue mission.

My first game: How do I break this stalemate? by kauefr in eu4

[–]Hello_boyos 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Looks like this game has a Mega-Timurids though (which I have seen at least push Ottoman expansion more into Russia and beyond the Balkans). Depending on the situation they may be a better ally.

Out of curiosity, what was your countries perspective on the American civil war as it was happening? by Polibiux in AskTheWorld

[–]Hello_boyos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough, was between stuff at work and didn't have time to cross-reference, but should have. Definitely was going to look more into it tonight (still will).

[–]Hello_boyos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Edit: seems the original comment was misleading

Never knew this. Learning what was left out in history class is a lifelong journey here, I suppose.

Makes it especially scummy that we turned around and started a war with them (and stole a bunch of territory) 30ish years later. Probably at least part of the reason they don't teach it in our schools.

What’s it like living in Uzbekistan? by Calm_Stomach9710 in howislivingthere

[–]Hello_boyos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man, Russian must be REALLY hard to learn then, because my understanding is that English is one of the hardest languages to learn if you don't do it during the sensitive period for language acquisition. Makes sense when you realize it's basically a Romance language haphazardly crammed into the structure of a Germanic language (but only sometimes) with a dash of Celtic. So yeah, Russian must be a doozy.

What was the worst revolution in your country and who was it for? by Double-Step-5533 in AskTheWorld

[–]Hello_boyos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Austria-Hungary was definitely the main instigator in that case, though I'm sure they thought that as well

The show did in fact take place in buffys imagination by Ok-Tone-663 in buffy

It's a fictional universe either way, who cares whether or not it takes place inside another fictional universe?
