Tell me you work in the US without telling me you work in the US.
Not calling you out specifically, but I see this phrase everywhere and don't understand its popularity. It would be more concise and equally "clever" to just say "Sounds like this guy works in the US". What is the appeal that everyone keeps typing this?
Lol, well I didn't mean specifically "tell me you're from the US" just the general phrase "tell me X without telling me X".
And can confirm that plenty of Americans aren't thrilled with how things are run in America. We're running democracy v0.1 beta
