  • Our government has pushed its tentacles. Most US Americans would rather we mind our own business and focus on improving the climate and our health and well being. There are exceptions and some real crappy US Americans. Just like the AfD or the Nationalists in France or Swiss Peoples Party or Finns or various Freedom Parties of Europe. We are not unique over here, but there are many disenfranchised voters (targeted by republican dubious laws) that were not able to exercise their right to vote and that made it seem like we are all ignorant over here. We are not. There are millions of people protesting and organizing. State news and corporate owned news outlets aren’t letting the world know.


  • You mean how you just called people from the United States Americans? Maybe you forgot about Central and South America? There are 35 countries on this side of the pond. Also, there is a LOT of variety in the US. We have over fifty dialects and arguably more. We have people that are native German speakers (with several unique dialects and daughter languages, Latinos that are native Spanish speakers (along with many dialects and daughter languages from many countries as well), Native Americans with MANY cultural and linguistic differences from Alaska to South America.







  • Designer here - this above comment is 100% correct. The nuance is important that if a particular color palette is used in an original and distinguishable artwork that can be subject to copyright, although it’s a gray area. Colors can be trademarked however and that’s done all the time; for example McDs Red and yellow, UPS brown, The yellow of 3Ms stickies, DHLs red and yellow are examples. Those colors are only contestable if you use them on a similar product. You can color your dog house UPS brown without issue, but you wouldn’t get away with (for long) creating a delivery company with vans that color brown.
