If your friend is in America:

And by this sentence alone, I understand you didn't paid attention to what I wrote.

I understand americans make up the bulk of Lemmy users but - for crying out loud! - there is more on this freaking space time faring rock than that trench coat nation.

Do try to broaden your horizons. Read a little. Watch non american media and shows. Get your head out of your ass, while you are at it!

America is not the world.

Even as an American this irritates me! There are so many more ways of doing things and living than what we have here. I was fortunate enough to live in a different country for a few years and I'd really recommend it to anyone (especially young people that haven't put down roots as much yet) in order to gain some perspective and broaden your horizons.
