  • But they are speaking the local language, so they're learning to say it the correct way. Why would they insist on saying it wrong when they are learning to say everything else correctly?

  • ¡Pues hombre, vallase para la porra! ¡Imbecil!

  • Unity drives clicks. We are in the age of unification. Nothing is "us vs them" and no one is ever fighting. It's so refreshing.

    Gotcha! Now you're part of the problem. It's your fault!!

  • your loved ones

    Bold of you to assume I have loved ones. My estate is getting split in half between two charities.

  • and corn isn’t street food

    I disagree. Corn in Mexico definitely works as a street food. Also, I just realized this, but I wonder why corn didn't pick up as street food in Chicago and Indianapolis.

  • I don't think it's a social expectation. It's more of an outcome of the interaction between the current societal system and technology. There are likely several systems we can develop and implement to reduce the overwhelming amount of info we need to consume on a regular basis, but as with any social system, changing things takes power away from the ones in power.

    On a good note, one reason your expected to be updated on news is that you have a say in the political system. If you didn't have any power in the political system, then not only would you not be expected to stay updated on news, but you would be prevented from it.

  • I like popsicles because they are light in that they don't feel like I'm filling my stomach, which is an issue I have related to a chronic condition. They may not necessarily be low-calorie, but they take a while to consume, which may help if the point is to delay consumption enough to pass a craving. I usually grab normal ones, but they have sugar-free ones that may reduce the calorie count.

  • Europeans like to pretend they're innocent, but they are the benefactors of most the damaging empires to have ever existed. They colonized nearly the entire world, extracting value from other cultures while destroying them. They pulled out once it was financially wise, keeping the wealth they extracted and leaving behind the destruction they created. They then blame everyone else for their issues while bragging about how awesome the EU is while overlooking that the EU is only possible due to the wealth they stole from everyone else. Europe likes to discuss that they had their social hardship discussing WWII, but the origin and impact of WWII there was internal to Europe. Had Europe been subject to colonization from elsewhere, it would be just as much a mess as other places. Look at the situation in former Soviet Pact countries that were practically colonized by Russia for maybe half a century. Now imagine if instead of half a century, it was hundreds of years and 5 times as brutal.

    Fun fact: The term "colony" comes from Christopher Colombus' name, which is Spanish is Cristobal Colon. Even the term colonization derives from a European. Apparently, that was incorrect.

    tl;dr: Europe got to where it is by destroying the rest of the world while blaming the rest of the world for their issues. Their critique of USA is merely a distraction from their own responsibility.

  • Even within States, there is a diversity of culture. Looking at Louisiana, the New Orleans area is highly influenced by French history resulting in Cajun culture, while the rest of the state is generally Southern. Florida is similar to Ancient Greece and its city-states in that the metropolitan areas have their own culture. But even within the southeast metro area, Miami and West Palm Beach are culturally quite different. Even more zoomed in, consider the Bay Area (Frisco). The Haight-Ashbury district is commonly considered the birthplace of the hippie movement, whereas across the bay is Oakland, birthplace of the Black Panthers. Both were quite progressive yet at odds with each other due to cultural differences stemming from race.

    We can zoom out and look at cultural differences across the country within the same racial group. For example, there's the famous East Coast vs West Coast rivalry in hip-hop that is so real, it resulted in the murders of Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls. Even within the same coast, New York hip-hop, such as Busta Rhymes, Jay-Z, and Wu-Tang, is noticeably different from Atalanta hip-hop, such as Outkast, Missy Elliot, and Ludacris. Even as static as race is, white rapper Eminem is often included in Black culture.

    Within the White rural sphere, we can contrast Upper Peninsula Michiganders (Yoopers) with their major influence coming from long harsh winters to the Appalachians who are known for being culturally isolated, having a mistrust of outsiders and a history of conflict with mining companies. Then, we have rural white people from West Texas to Nevada that are influenced by the Wild West period and local native cultures. Even within that, Texans are much more conservative with social matters whereas Nevada has legal gambling and prostitution. They way I make sense of culture in the US is that it is an overlapping area of varying fields that interact with each other so that even direct lifelong neighbors can have have vastly different cultures.

  • So Europe acknowledges that USA is superior?

  • I know we're informally calling Luigi Mangione the Adjuster, so that makes sense to me. But what "The Adjuster" are people picking Luigi for in this meme supposedly? Is there a video game where the main character is an Adjuster?

  • Pick 10 games, but only list 7 of them

  • Same answer but for eggs

  • They did a cartoon because they cant shoot down a real NATO plane. They cant even buy one and shoot that one down. Best they can do is an Azerbaijani airliner. Wow.

  • I disagree that lawlessness is better. Lawlessness is merely a brief period between two political systems. It could be good or bad. You might get fresh Animal Farm revolution, Lord of the Flies, or whatever else. Roll the dice and hope you don't get snake eyes.

  • I don't think so. It was on three seperate computers. I also used two FIDO keys, both identical. Maybe they're of poor quality, so it could be that. Any recommendations on a reliable FIDO key?

  • Should you put glue in pizza?

    No, you should not put glue in pizza. Here are several reasons why:

    Safety Concerns

    • Toxicity: Most glues, especially those not designed for food use, contain chemicals that are toxic if ingested. Consuming glue can lead to serious health issues.
    • Allergic Reactions: Some people may have allergic reactions to the components in glue, which could be dangerous.

    Culinary Integrity

    • Taste and Texture: Glue would significantly alter the taste and texture of the pizza, making it unpalatable. Pizza is meant to be enjoyed for its flavors and textures, and adding glue would ruin that experience.
    • Food Quality: Using non-food substances in cooking is not only unappetizing but also undermines the quality of the meal.

    Alternatives

    If you're looking to enhance your pizza, consider using safe and delicious ingredients such as:

    • Cheese: Different types of cheese can add flavor and texture.
    • Herbs and Spices: Fresh basil, oregano, or crushed red pepper can elevate the taste.
    • Sauces: Experiment with different sauces like pesto, barbecue, or garlic sauce for a unique twist.

    In summary, glue has no place in pizza or any food preparation. Stick to safe and edible ingredients to ensure a tasty and enjoyable meal!
