Pretty wild! All states give you at least 30 days to dump your baby, no strings attached. Some states give you 60 days!

I feel like more people should know about this! It seems like a highly under utilized ability.

    Don’t do numbers at me, if a quarter of the roulette wheel says USA we both know where you’re putting your money.

    Again, nobody said it was clean thinking or appropriate to pre-judge, only that you can easily see how the mistake gets made without ever calling it chauvinism.

      […], only that you can easily see how the mistake gets made without ever calling it chauvinism.

      This is the point where I strongly disagree with you, constantly mistaking less than ¼ for being the most likely is not easily made, there’s a good reason for why the expression US Defaultism exists, because a particular mindset is required for such a mistake to be easily made.

        ~25% is a lot when you’re talking about demographics that large. The US has more English speakers than the next two countries combined. If you’re looking at native English speakers, it’s about 63%.

          But that’s not the point, the point is that more than 3 out of 4 people able to read this post don’t live in the US.

            That’s exactly why though. The likeliest guesses are either “the US” or “somewhere else”. Specificity is always a more compelling heuristic.
