How is the swedish mail doing?

Nothing yet sadly.
An update on this, it seems their mail about them shipping it to me was sent out in error, something to do with how their e-commerce platform work with preorders.
So no TIE Reaper yet sadly.
Thanks for letting us know.
LAME!
@mcgreag , would you mind editing the original post and adding (not) to the title, to avoid confusing people?

I have enough daily reminders about US politics. I could do without them here

No, tired.
I'm tired because it devolves conversations into a primitive game of "which tribe can shout louder" d!ckmeasuring contest that I have no interest in.
Also it is pretty annoying to see US related posts everywhere. This is an international forum, US people are not more relevant here than everyone else. I'm not posting memes of hungarian politics (oh boy how apt that would be at times), and all I am asking, nicely, mind you, is for you to extend the same courtesy towards me.
Also, most people from the US are really dumb when discussing politics. There are a few trigger topics that cause them to devolve into literal crazy people. Talking about guns, veterans, abortions or religion has very different results when talking to the average american, then when talking to the average european.
Now, when you keep talking about US politics like everyone is american EVERYWHERE on the internet, say the same "us against them" BS everytime, and flip your lid when people say things you disagree with, it gets pretty tiring.
So, no, I'm not mad. I just had enough of the usual entitlement and tunnel vision that surround political discourse concerning the US.
That, and its in the forum rules.
So again... Can we just not?
Whoa, whoa, whoa..... no one is talking politics here other than you now.
It. is. just. a. meme.

Dude... Talking about talking about politics isn't talking about politics.
And all I am talking about, is asking you to stop bringing it up. Don't act like such a meme isn't controversial. You know it is. And you know it is against the forum rules... Stop turning this around.
Really? I post a single meme that has a US president in it and you get upset. Then I post a meme that has another US president in it (who happened to be from the other political party), and not only do you NOT chill, instead you launch into a tirade with the following:
"Also, most people from the US are really dumb when discussing politics. There are a few trigger topics that cause them to devolve into literal crazy people.

"I just had enough of the usual entitlement and tunnel vision that surround political discourse concerning the US."
Somehow THAT is not offensive?
By your own standard then no one should ever post this COMMONLY. USED. MEME. either - which SOMEONE ALWAYS DOES WHEN A PRODUCT SHIPS:
What are you, the meme police? You need to get over yourself and quit being so sensitive over silly little memes. As far as forum rules, no one is advancing a political position here, you are being hyper-reactionary.

Your inability to understand my problem is showcased by your belief that posting a different president is somehow making it better.
My problem isn't that it is being offensive. I don't care about being offended one bit, and I'm especially not offended by US politics. I don't really care. Which is why I ASKED you to stop. That's hardly meme policing. I didn't report you, and I don't intend to.
Also, I didn't say you are doing anything like that, I explained why I dislike talking about US politics based on my experience. If the shirt doesn't fit, don't wear it. If you think that mentioning the divide between US politics is offensive, well... sorry for that. However, that doesn't really negate the fact that the issues I mentioned are quite divisive, and the reactions are heated.
Also... No, not really. There is a difference between the sitting president, the previous president, and a random representative. Especially this president. My issue is that I see him everywhere, and I don't want to, and people always have a strong reaction about him, even in unrelated topics.
Which I could do without.
But sure, flip out on my simple request.

Like, I don't care to read about certain things on the X-Wing forums. Does not interest me. Not in the meaning of indifference, but in the meaning of I had enough of it already
