I'm born in Poland to Polish parents, but all their parents were born Germans. I moved to Germany when I was 11 and when someone asked me then I said I'm German. But then I moved to Sweden for 15 years, while there I would also say I'm German. I got the Swedish citizenship but you still can hear that I'm not a native Swede, but only Swedish people can hear it. So once I moved to Korea 4 years ago I used my Swedish passport to get in to the country (it was not on purpose but random chance, I could have chosen the polish one or the German one too). Anyway, if someone in Korea asks me where I'm from or what I am I almost always say I'm Swedish. with one exception, if a German here in Korea asks me then I say I'm German.

I know it's a bit easier for me because I look like I could be from any of those countries, but my identity is not tied to some specific geographic area so I have no problem being a geographical-identity-cameleon.

Some ducks are born in Mexico.

Honestly I thought it was a fake story because of how they presented themselves while doing in on a very niche fediverse platform like Lemmy where practically only people end up who are very interested in technology, politics, freedom, etc. All topics which require quite a degree of abstract thinking and knowledge.

So even if this IQ number were correct, which I have a hard time to believe because if how eloquent they use language and how analytic they see their life, it probably has no base in reality but was a test fluke.

That's an interesting idea, need to check if they offer some kind of a API for that.

But then there is this other thing, what about dns cache?

Ah wait, there is one which is close, Indian chai, it's so flavorful!

One more notable is marrokean peppermint tea, but it's just to sweet.

Black tea with some lemon and sugar.

This is how we drank tea in communist Poland when I was a child and I tried so many teas in Japan with the nice ceremony, Chinese green tea, american peach ice tea, English tea with milk, etc. But nothing comes close.

Nobody wants JFK Jr in charge of their health, not even Trump and they knew it from the start. But good to see.

I set up my own because I don't want to be dependent on someone else.

Normally matrix servers don't block each other they let their users do it instead.

Democracy is just the tyranny of the majority.

I think that most of the Americans want this, even if people on the outside do not understand. So in that sense they are right now winning back their country, as confusing as it might sound.
