    Yeah, I’ll bold it for you so you can see:

    Barely. And even then, I would not really be interested in a post about a failed government land scheme in Portugal or Austria in this community either unless it somehow intersected with EU policy or influenced relations with its neighbors.

    Boy I sure am dumb, I didn’t realise you said Europe and not EU.

      or influenced relations with its neighbors

      If you’re going to start a pedantic argument on the ass end of the fediverse for an article nobody’s really going to read, at least ensure that you’re actually being correctly pedantic.

        The country is still in Europe so it’s still Europe related. Do people complain when news in the world news community doesn’t affect the entire world?

          I don’t really care. You called the poster stupid, then misrepresented his argument while quoting him. It’s entertainingly incompetent.

              You seem to have a hard time grasping points in general. I never cared about your or his points about this topic. I think I made that pretty clear when I described this as the ass end of the fediverse about an article nobody’s going to read.

              I thought your flailing pedantry was funny though.

                I’m glad you got something out of it. Usually, if I don’t care about something I don’t have any interest in commenting but here we are.

      The other words also have meaning.

      Besides, the other poster brought me up to speed. I understand the European angle now.
