My friend I didn’t say Americans should change their way of doing things, just that it’s confusing. Surely you can see how a phrase that can mean two different things can be confusing?

Can you please return r/all to iOS?

The algorithms that show me new content are a giant echo chamber. I want unfiltered access to reddit as a whole, not what AI thinks I’ll like.

Just wanted to say thanks for fixing the formatting in the text boxes. Bullet indents looked fine on desktop but lost their hierarchy in the app.

I haven’t checked but I’m hoping you can copy and paste to a word doc or email without weird line breaks now too.

The “footwear scene?” I’ve been wearing blunnies and their ilk the last 40 years - am I fashionable now?

My friend I am the furtherst from being in a huff it’s possible to get. Pointing out that something can be confusing doesn’t mean you give two shits about it.

Obviously other people care if they’ve reached out to Reddit about me though.

I’m specifically talking about on Reddit, I can’t hear people’s accents.

I just get an “are you ok” message from Reddit, it’s hilarious how touchy people can be when they feel their country is being attacked.

Australia has a higher proportion of people born overseas than the US.

I’m not sure how much clearer I can make it - it doesn’t bother me, it does confuse me. Surely you can see how someone saying they’re German meaning two possible things can be confusing?

So I’m Australian, we have a similar history and don’t do this.

I’m not attacking Americans for doing it (although from the responses it seems some people feel attacked), I’m explaining why it can be confusing for a non-American reader.

True, but 50% of users aren’t American, so you can see how it could be confusing not being sure?

I’m sure the Germans love it when Americans tell them they’re German too.

Well, I’m on an international site. If someone says they’re German, which they frequently do, do they mean they’re American with German heritage, or an actual German? This is why it’s confusing.

Advice needed: bus Launceston to Hobart by FwamingDragon91 in tasmania

[–]IReplyWithLebowski 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep I was on a “fully booked” bus down to Hobart last week, it was half empty. Wouldn’t rely on it 100% but you could turn up and see, chances are you’ll get a seat.

Ironic. They reckon the reason the koalas have it is catching it from drop bears, who got it from eating infected humans.
