I'm not gonna say you did, my reading comprehension might be off, but I got the impression that you implied Europe is part of the east, which is obviously silly. Also, the maps why use here does not even places us in the east, in a physical sense, but smack dab in the middle. I guess the takeaway should be, it all comes down to perspective.. Also, I appreciate your comment, my friend.

Eastern hemisphere. Western sphere of influence. But yeah. We're on the same page. I'm definitely open to being wrong though. I realized quite a while back just how indoctrinated and miseducated we Americans are. And constantly finding more to undo. Gotta keep an open mind and all.

These were my first comments and first interaction, after finally ditching reddit. What a positive and kind interaction. A real conversation, or exchange of thoughts, instead of a gotcha moment.

I think I'll like it here.
