Somehow this garnered the most annoying interactions I have ever received online. Just need to get some kind of cutesy embroidered picture of a cat with text that reads "Thank you for sharing that with me! This doesn't have anything to do with what I was talking about though!"
Also I don't know how to describe this but it feels genuinely surreal to have to say "I am one of several dozen people worldwide who are not American" even though I am in fact American. I am aware that it's a challenge to buy groceries in Brunckton, Idaho (pop. 85) without a car. I don't live there
The irony of course is that the various 2 church 1 pub farming towns that Anglos scattered over the imperial frontier were much more economically sustainable before the automobile.
