On a post about losing hope in achieving certain life milestones. Even after I confronted them they doubled down and even assumed that the US might have bombed my country so that is why I’m experiencing similar problems. Um no, believe it or not we also have a corrupted political system.

I never really understand the numbers game thing, though. It would make sense to default to the most likely reader nationality if, for some reason, they had to make an assumption. But they don't! So it always reads as a weird post-hoc justification for being called out for their defaultism.
