Counterpoint I have a workplace where browsing Lemmy would not be NSFW but I don’t want to deal with someone being judgemental if they happen to look over my shoulder.

It’s easy when you only need to care about your own needs. Try saying that with a family and kids…based on your comment I suspect you can’t.

Insecure about what? Which side of the tape measure to use? Honestly I don’t think many Americans are or were ever made aware that metric is the standard.

Although they’re available you don’t need an extension or app. They have a website where you can view price history and set email alerts. It works great, I’m still getting price alerts I set up years ago.

Who’s they? A population of 300 million people? The USA is large and diverse, it can’t be simplied in the way you’re describing just like the EU couldn’t. Social media and meme propaganda doesn’t represent a country and it’s people.
