haha yeah ok I hear you, Ive just never perceived this or known that anyone else did, but maybe they do and I just didnt know

thank you for the actually

Im actually in Ireland, but I grew up in western PA. There is a Deutschestown in north Pittsburgh, and a few breweries have faux bierhalles like Penn Brewery for example. Max's Alleghenney Tavern in Pgh is a 'German Restaurant' as well, but they do "quirky german" things like serve beer in jars, which is not done in Germany at all..

anyway, genetically, Im half polish half irish, but there were shit tons of italians everywhere also. plenty of krauts in my schools though, now that im old enough to decipher their last names' ethnic origins. some scandanavians also

...English is not the "default" ancestry for Americans. I think I know one dude from Michigan who has English heritage. Most folks I'd know have blood from Poland, Ireland, Italy and Germany. It varies regionally.

you don't need to choose. Im on Mastodon and Bluesky. The federated internet is better. I'm here on god dang Lemmy. Having said that, if you see the Bluesky logo here on Lemmy you will see a half dozen posts of people getting so upset while they type they involuntarily farted

i cant find shit to do on mastodon. bluesky has the feeds which flung the door to folks i like to follow right open. its the better platform- id prefer it if it was decentralized but alas, like you said, thats where the herd wandered

see?!!?

we live in two separate lemmy realities sir

careful, people on lemmy will attack you for saying anything other than bluesky is bad and that mastodon is the only way forward

you're

need it for work dog

yeah i used to have a ubuntu dual boot machine for years. i just only use it for the program i need, web browsing etc is on the phone anymore

thanks
