        This story is about the U.S. and very distinct aspects of our society (notably our healthcare system and our policing), hence the context of my comment is about the U.S.

        Grandmothers in other nations would not have to live stream Minecraft to raise money for their grandchild’s cancer treatment.

        “Yabbut other nations” isn’t going to cut it here because you absolutely 100% know that it is irrelevant to the discussion.

            I’m not talking about Europe though. I am talking about the U.S.

            Even in your original comment, the part about Europe was an “aside” in parenthesis, not the main part of the comment. A footnote, as it were. We aren’t going to divert the conversation over a footnote when the actual article and main content of your comment outside the parenthesis pertains to the U.S.

                nice that you know better what I meant than me.

                This isn’t about knowledge, this about staying on the subject vs trying to be pedantic and thinking that you have some sort of clever gotcha. Sorry, but that doesn’t work on me.

                Will let you know when I need your services again

                This doesn’t even make sense. I’m not offering any services.

                It’s time for you to take the “L” and move on. Bye!

                    The world outside the US exists.

                    And this article is about the U.S. very specifically.

                    You lost, move on. Thanks! Any further comments will be reported as spam

                    Edit: couldn’t resist one more comment, could you. Reported as promised, and added to my block list
