Nah, you’re right. Only my mother and father are. ☺️

No, I’m Dutch, I was born and raised here without influence of the Norwegian culture.

Oh, I guess that’s where we differ. My family is from Leipzig, and the “German culture” (which is largely different from that of Americans in my particular state) was something engrained in me since birth.

I also spent 1/3 of my life visiting family in Germany.

But more importantly, my comment was mostly a remark about the idiocy of American politics, and how I’d like to distance myself from the notion of “Americanism” as much as possible, even on a genetic level.

It’s not that serious 😅

Guess I’ll have to marry my way back home 😈

As a descendent of German migrants, I’m officially dropping the “American” from “German-American.” I no longer want to be associated with this level of stupidity.

Holy shit, I didn’t even realize that.

America is fucked. I cannot believe it’s come to this.

I did too, actually. I don’t know why it popped into my head immediately reading “AI movie”. Maybe the animation?

Now I kind of want to watch it again.

It’ll probably be a sequel to Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within

This is the dumbest version of America.

Isn’t this almost exactly what Hitler did?

Jesus, this is depressing. Wtf has this country become?

Brilliant!

Fuck the police.

<conspiracy me>: “it’s about Roswell, isn’t it?!”

These judges are worthless. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Hell yeah.

I thought it was an engineering design 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’m just so disappointed in the fact that there are so many people in this country that actually voted for this shit. How can people sell themselves out like that, just to be able to say, “I owned the libs loool”

I don’t even know what to think anymore.

I quit. American politics are a circus sideshow full of dancing turds. At this point, let it burn. The side that I vote for won’t even stand up against this shit, so what good is my vote now?

Just a bunch of rich assholes doing whatever they want.

Exactly. That’s why I tend to always stick to the Fediverse, even when newer, trendier options pop up (like Bluesky).

As someone who ditched Reddit a couple of years ago in favor of Lemmy, I feel a bit vindicated. I thought my “dump Reddit” mentality was maybe unjustified, but… here we are. No regrets.
