@RoundSparrow the Problem is those asshats literally throw global security under the bus and with it trust by over 1 billion people who didn't get a say in #USpol at all.
If the #USA was just some "#ShitholeCountry" with B-Tier economy and C-Tier importance, we could all pretend this didn't happen, but #UScentrism and #Dollarization as well as #LateStageCapitalism make this a problem for me too - against my declined consent I've to add...
A game like #CitiesSkylines but with city concepts, traffic design options and citizen reactions to things like sources of noise that actually make god damn sense would be nice. Could be called "Netherlands Edition".
I've watched too much #NotJustBikes to not be super annoyed at the utterly unrealistic depiction of good traffic systems and what citizens find annoying (Highway next to the home? All cool. Shopping area? Omfg so loud!!). Not to mention lack of mixed zoning…

US centrism in computer science?
I'm shocked, shocked, well, not that shocked…
@sindarina the #UScentrism of not just the #Internet and it's core architecture (espechally #IANA & #ICANN) will destroy it if the world doesn't properly #decentralize RIGHT NOW.
#ClassAction as a measure to deliver recourse against #Corporations is inherently #flawed, #unjust and cements the fact that "If the #penalty is a #fine, it's only #illegal for the #poor"!
In case you don't believe me that #ClassActions only exist to enrich #LawFirms and allow any #corporation to send out insultingly-low #cheques:
#Valve literally changed their [luckily illegal in places with #ConsumerProtection like the #EU] #SteamSubscriberAgreement to basically force people [in the #USA and the rest of the world] to kiss their #Steam account goodbye if they choose to join a Class Action.
#Sony's #OtherOsSettlement didn't force them to #reinstate the #OtherOs functionality on the #PS3 and only gave US comsumers tiny cheques! A core functionality that was as much of a seller of the product as #BackwardsCompatibility and #BluRay playback...
No Class Action against #Apple forced them to #undo shit they purposefully designed into products - espechally their #AntiRepairDesign with #DRM that basically requires a RAT to authenticate parts which they do to this very day and which they literally patented...
(Don't even get me started on the shitshow that is #iCloudLock which I hope the @EUCommission will #ban as it's *infringing on #ConsumerRights re: #property and causes thousands of tons of 100% avoidable #eWaste...)

Also WTF is "central time"?
#UScentrism is killing everything....
@[email protected] Even better: Jet's use #Unixtime in a human-readable Form + #local offset: I.e. 20231231,235604 + 0,100
I think many people from the US don't realise how fucking offensive it is in #Europe to use the word "race" for humans.
Like, if someone told me they are "studying race" in a human context, I'd think they're a Nazi.
The concept of race doesn't even have scientific merit, I am truly baffled by it's survival in the US.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk 😅
#UScentrism #culturaldifferences
Disclaimer: Obviously we still have #racism in Europe despite doing away with the concept of human races
