Of course the PTSD folks went through it. Though I am arguing with you I want to make it clear I meant zero disrespect or antagonization for anyone who lived through that as part of the expelling force. I was there as a citizen. My point was that your comment made it seem as if Kuwait has been a hot zone in between those times and I got upset and perhaps reacted poorly.
There's fucking nothing traumatic happening in Kuwait right now. Or in that last 20 years for that matter. Get your head out of your ass. What is this bullshit pulling on your heartstrings fearmongering nonsense comment. "She's been to Kuwait already" dumbass I've been to all the bases in Kuwait multiple times it's chill. They train and they have a taco bell. It's admin HQ for operations nearby
Yes I uninstalled everything except Lemmy and it feels like 2007 again
Well that only works because pizza is a 2 dimensional food
Do you just comb through comments assuming the worst intentions and inferring the most negative connotation possible from everyone? Or is this a one time thing? Leave that shit on Reddit please you added absolutely nothing to the discussion
They actually seem to be quite educated on the topic. Unlike yourself who seems to think that you'd have authority to speak on this issue because you have a certain passport? It's really not that wild. I moved here as a first generation immigrant about 10 years ago & I pretty much concur what they are saying. Irish and American Italians in Boston and NJ respectively feel that they have more in common with their 'home' countrymen than fellow Americans, just one example. Personally I think there's also an aspect of "oh I'm not just white, I'm actually 1/8 Irish". Mind you that's not what I think at all, why would I have a bias against you if you are white? But it's almost like I'm asked to view them as more than "white American" when people tell me that stuff after I tell them where I'm from. You can imagine what their answers typically were when I asked about whether they often go back to visit family/home or foods they cook. It's just ancestry, they have no actual ties to those lands.
One thing I will say though is that whenever I'd talk about this kind of thing is that people get weirdly defensive about it. Overall I learned just to let them say what they want to say, it's not worth my energy trying to understand their mental gymnastics as to why they're actually as Irish as I am Egyptian. They're not ready or willing to have that conversation.
Come on dude it's a white centric thing to make them feel more ethnic. No one else does this, even in the US. What you're describing is locality pride so someone should be proud to be from a certain state. Not claiming relation/influence from a European country. Immigrants in the US are the first to want to call themselves American while racists refuse to accept that whole saying they're Irish or whatever the fuck.
Reply to some of these comments big guy cmon
I couldn't find anything about this on the Asus Linux blog, am I just dumb and looking in the wrong place? I use Asus-linux and didn't know about this :(
Edit: ~~unfortunately it seems that bullshitters who make shit up on the spot have made their way over to Lemmy~~ boo me
