Like a phone call? Group voice chats?

Yep, or even a watch party (group voice chat with someone sharing his screen). You can't do that on forums or lemmy.

Not sure about twitch, I only use that to watch streams, never to do streams.

Ok ... who talked about Fight Club?

it seems to be everywhere

Only if you're terminally online.

But for the people that get their news from TV and printed newspaper .. or maybe facebook, US poltics is a sidenote. The sports segments are usually twice as long as the international politics segment, for example. Sure, they probably heard about the tarrifs in some form, but a lot of people just don't care about that.

Does the 25 days include national holidays like Xmas, etc?

Nope, those are all added on top.

I think maybe the phrasing? Calling them unemployed might have bad implications, even though it is accurate for recent graduates. I'm not sure.

Really I just find it interesting. Lemmy works in mysterious ways sometimes :D

Run the script essentially once a year or so when major updates come along.

I've set it up in the task sheduler as a "on boot-up" task. Have never bothered with it through multiple updates.

… don’t use social media, and don’t talk to anybody that does those things (because it’s basically impossible for it to not enter normal conversation).

Oh, they definitly on social media and talk to people. But that still doesn't mean you're exposed to US politics. People have their own domestic politics to talk about. What happens in the US really isn't as relevant to the daily life of the average foreigner as you might think.

You'd be surpised by how many people don't follow international news.
