People who proudly boast about how they never spend a dime on Epic Games, in their store, but has hundreds of free games to play with no intent to play them. Like, I don't know who is supposed to be impressed by that. Not to mention, that's not really a good method of protesting if you're someone who hates Epic Games.

You're still spending the time and effort, not to mention even bothering to have an account with them to begin with, to redeem free games that they give away. Who are you seriously trying to impress or what message are you trying to convey? Because all I see are contradictions and ironies.

Yawn, everything is about America. How many people in North Korea have passports eh? ;)

I live in America, so naturally my experiences with this are going to be American. I'm sure if I lived in another country it would be focused around that one.

100% passport rate but nobody ever wants to leave Best Korea (according to a DPRK spokesperson).

[–] searabbit@piefed.social 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Fun fact, Japan has the lowest percentage of passport holders among the first world countries, hovering around 17%.

[–] kibblebits@quokk.au 2 points 12 hours ago

Fun fact, India has 5-10% and China has 10-15%

Also fun fact, Norway and Sweden have nearly 90% which is just crazy high.
