-russfrank
<purr>
ELLIOTTCABLE: a russfrank is a russfrank because circular logic works because circular logic works because the first rule of the tautology club is the first rule of the tautology club.

<ja>

ELLIOTTCABLE: wen r u cumin 2 da eu m8
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
lol you kidding? no
<purr>
lol
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I find almost none of europe interesting; and even the parts I do, the language barrier is just too much
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I'll probably visit Britain at some point, but … I think I'm far more likely to do any language-incompatible traveling to, say, China, Japan, Hong Kong, or something
<ja>
u're comin no? dats long elliott pls
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
you know, countries with a future, and relevance on the global stage.
<ja>
Denmark is very upbuttered-american-english–compatible, ELLIOTTCABLE
<ja>
And we have a huge global-stage-scale-grade future, you know, because LEGO.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ still terrifying for me. I prefer my sheltered American shithole.
<ja>
And because we have those aggluglianative shdalsfksglw words y’know like the germans
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
(IKEA? or is that Sweden?)
<ja>
Aw man
<ja>
Are you afraid of us?
<pikajude>
my jaw is killing me
<ja>
Because we're averagely taller than Americans, maybe, subconsciously?
<mkroman>
the UK is a bigger shithole than the US these days
<ja>
IKEA is Swedish, indeed.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
mkroman: well, that I believe
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
didn't say the U.S. was the worst
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
just asserting it being terrible
<ja>
With their ä’s instead of æ’s and their :’s instead of ,’s in price tags. @_@
<ja>
Srsly wtf uses : in currency formatting…
<ja>
… Sweden.
<ja>
that’s who.
<mkroman>
so if your requirement is that the country has to be a shithole, I'm afraid Denmark isn't an option :p
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
no, just saying that the fact I don't have to learn a new language, or deal with whatever it feels like to be a second-class linguistic citizen, is enough to outweigh nearly any other flavour of ‘shitty.’
