Tarkus posted:I think Americana is pretty interesting in a way. It's like a memory of a memory of a culture that once existed that is now mass produced in China or sold piecemeal at Michaels. Nothing new created, just a slavish adherence to an aesthetic that is comical in its mimicry. The man in the high tower?

If it's damaged it's supposed to be burned. I poo poo you not. Though tbh, it makes sense to me in a way. Quick death Vs rotting around in rubbish.

My mum is American and living in the UK. She brags to friends back home about how she doesn't pay for her healthcare. Yet she is opposed to Obamacare because "socialised" healthcare = death panels and 'bortions.

"People would just abuse free healthcare". *Gets world's biggest opioid crisis anyway* E: not "anyway"- directly as a result of a healthcare system run purely for greed.

Bar Ran Dun posted:Yeah that’s my big miss from being able to take a train into NYC pickled tongue deli sandwiches. You can get tongue in the south in more rural grocery stores. I’ve also gotten tongue and roasted head meat tacos in taquerias in rural areas with immigrant farm workers. Is roasted head meat anything like head cheese?

Bismuth posted:One of my (least) favorite parts of the Columbine cultural aftermath was the christians making up that story about cassie bernall, making her a martyr, and then painting themselves as the targets/victims of these scary dangerous atheists. Its like any time american christians can even make up a reason to paint themselves as opressed they leap to it, reality be damned. Was that the girl who said yes when they asked whether she was a Christian so they shot her (or so the story goes)? We got told her story as "inspirational" as if she was an example to follow. I mean surely the more Christian thing to do would be to lie since it's preventing a greater evil? I went to school in the UK too fs. Animal-Mother posted:They believe they're literally in a holy war. It's why there's so much crossover between fundies and Q. My mum is a regular visitor to "spiritual warfare" websites. And yeah, they're cringe.

Does Maryland actually have an identity? The map of it always looks so hosed up like just the leftovers from other states. There's one part of it is literally only a town wide.

TotalLossBrain posted:I remember having similar school lunches in East Germany. Milk noodles - basically just macaroni and sweet milk. Sounds like something Wessis would mock you for but then spend good money on at a Turkish restaurant if they gave it a fancy name and sprinkled cinnamon on top. Anyway, did you get a sliced up banana on your milk noodles at Christmas?
