You still don't understand what "football" is. Association football is the most popular in the world, so in regions where it's the most popular they call it "football" and other forms by other names. In regions where other games of football are more popular they call those sports "football" and call other forms by other names (e.g., soccer).
You being completely ignorant of the history and current landscape of all football sports does not mean it is incorrect to call any other form of football "football."
Other points:
Much of the Anglosphere, including Australia, call association football "soccer." It is very much not just the US.
Being okay with "Aussie rules football" but not "American football" is patently absurd and betrays that:
It was not a strawman it was a clearly accurate insight into your position that you just wanted to be anti-American, your reply here is also dripping with it.
I'm not saying outliers are the norm. I'm saying everywhere calls the most popular form of football in that area simply "football"
Your obsession with ball shape similarly betrays your ignorance of football since there are many forms of football that use more oval shaped balls.
Also it wasn't a strawman when someone said the word came from the British you replied with "no."
This is the most tired bullshit argument. If you want to hate Americans just say "I hate Americans" and move on. Do you similarly attack Aussies for their football?
The word "football" is typically used to refer to the most popular style of football in an area. In the US that's American football. In Australia that's Aussie rules football. Other less common forms of football (in a given area) usually get another word to distinguish them, like rugby or soccer. All of these sports are under the umbrella of football whether you like it or not, and claiming they're not is just plain ignorant of what the word football means.
It's also deeply funny that you claim the word soccer wasn't British by... admitting that the word soccer is British. Lol.
Yes I can. Changing my thermostat by a single degree can be very impactful on my comfort. And on the "too warm side" each additional degree is noticeably less comfortable.
Days with highs of 68F, 69F, and 70F and comparable humidity all feel different to me. Sure, there are more factors at play but holding the rest equal, 1F differences are noticeable.
I'm OOTL, can anyone explain what the "manipulative procedural maneuver" is? I'm seeing some stuff about a vacancy requiring an election (Kentucky disallowed governor appointments), is it fear the seat will go Democratic?
Lmfao, nah. You know you were wrong and seem to think you can just say "read it again" rather than explain yourself. I already explained how what you said was irrelevant, it's your turn.
I don't care about the socks. I was just pointing out that you based your disagreement at least in part on dressing up when OP said casual wear. And then for some reason I can't understand you doubled down on it and told me I was wrong about the words you wrote that are still right there. So I broke down my understanding of your very straightforward sentence.
Maybe cool off a bit? That person isn't even using a standard acronym as far as I know, I'm American and I can't recall ever seeing the Electoral College abbreviated as EC.
That being said, while I get your point about Americans in general assuming people online understand America-centric terms, a forum discussing US politics is the one place where that assumption isn't out of place.
And the Dems will happily sell out to corporate donors to act in their interest while unashamedly lying to voters, and when caught out rely on the tried and true "what are you gonna do, vote Republican?"
This is not "both sides same," this is controlled opposition while the elite siphon everything they can from all of us.
Wait, are you able to wake it with your Steam Controller? I haven't been able to. I'm not on the beta OS though, I was having too many issues with some games on it.
Just absolutely riddled with even more easily searchable falsehoods, lol.

Lol nice try
Well you know it's true when it's coming from a fact theet!
Darth Earth eagerly awaits the Next moon
This is too poignant for a shitpost
That's why I said "comparable humidity"
I strongly disagree on one key point:
Yes I can. Changing my thermostat by a single degree can be very impactful on my comfort. And on the "too warm side" each additional degree is noticeably less comfortable.

I just did. Mind clarifying?
Indicates you think OP is wrong
A characterization that does not match my experience as an American
Not relevant to my comment, but still not true in my American experience
Completely irrelevant to the OP talking about casual wear.
The OP specified casual wear and you're telling them they're wrong because of how people dress up?
For general casual wear, white socks are pretty normal.
Womp, go feel the refreshingly crisp air of winter and you'll feel better.
See how unhelpful your comment was? People are allowed to have different preferences.
"Drain the swamp" just got even funnier

Looks like the restaurant in the Space Needle (Seattle). Casual clothes in fine dining is common here.
