I remember when the internet was enough us-centric (or accurately localized) so “United States of America” was at the top of the list. Now I have to scroll way to the bottom. I guess I can’t argue about the fairness of it, but it’s still annoying.
With all the annoyances of everything needing to be thousands of JavaScript modules instead of a simple html page, can’t we get something useful out of it, like a localized country list where everyone gets theirs on top?
And then being from England being constantly guessing because I have no idea whether the drop down is going to list England, United Kingdom, Great Britain, or what.
Each of which refer to actually different geographical regions, but okay.
Wait until you find out that you can type the first letter and it will jump to that position in the list. Then - check this shit out - you can keep pressing that letter to jump through each item in the list. It takes me like 3 seconds.
Now, hold onto your hats, because you won’t believe what you can do when picking your state…
Same with choosing a country.

True, someone always had it worse
Trump will sign an executive order stating United States must be the first country in all UI selection widgets.
He probably thinks UI is a urinary infection and wants to ban them.

If it involves moving to a device that has a keyboard, you’ve lost me
Fortunately you’ll move much further up the list alphabetically since you’re rapidly becoming the Fascist States of America.
Woo hoooo, give me an “F”!
Gimme a U
Gimme a “C”
You can often press “U” to go to countries starting with “U”, saving a bit of scrolling. If you didn’t already know that.
