It was relatively cool.

But the food there

Dear lord, I don't think I've ever had more bland food.

Whats murican food like?

Besides burgers of course

One thing to consider about the United States

Too be honest id find the food there bland as hell

You can't judge 'American' food by one area.

Everything here is packed with msg and spices

Even our barbeque sauces are named after regions they came from.

If you could get to Davis (or Thomas, I forgot which it was) in WV, there's an artist who sometimes cooks stuff for customers in his studio. It's pretty good if you ever get the chance

I guess so, big place

Actually, I think it was Thomas

You'd have to try Memphis BBQ, Carolina BBQ, Kansas City BBQ, Texas BBQ, etc. etc.

God, can you name the differences?

Skip the Cincinatti Chili though

Well, Kansas City bbq tends to be a bit more sweet

Memphis, I believe tends to be more smokey-flavoured

Texas is known to have a spicy kick

Carolina tends to be a little vinegary

so yes.

But what you've got to consider about all of this

South Carolina is mustardy, north Alabama is mayonasey

is that the United States is continent-sized.

We don't talk about Alabama.

Cheese biscuits are actually muffins

First time I traveled out of state

I picked this pamphlet up.

Couldn't stop laughing at it.

but I've never eaten at any of those restaurants. You can never be too safe. 😄

Can't tell if it's like assembling Exodia inside your colon or something...

Actually I think I ate at Dreamland BBQ one time, but I was a vegetarian so i just skeptically ate the bread.

Dreamland is actively bad. I don't know why people like it. Then again, I don't like ribs

Granted if I'm in Central Alabama, I go more for the Greek food

Okay, you're going to have to PM me a guide to Central Alabama greek food.

It's more that the region wasn't populated until after the Civil War when Birmingham was founded for steel. All the Greek and Lebanese immigrants decided to not work in the mines and factories and instead made the food. So the long standing food tradition is all Mediterranean. So the old hotdog stands, Barbecue and stuff all have Greek influence

Just an off-topic; there's a few threads on 4chan right now accusing archive.org of changing their archives for the NYTimes. re: their statements regarding Roseanne's firing. https://boards.4chan.org/pol/thread/181076362#p181076362

This isn't actually the case. The caption they're saying wasn't changed; they're confusing the metadata snippet used for Twitter, Facebook, Google, etc., with the caption beneath the image. The metadata snippet, which can be found by viewing the source of this archive from May 30th, has remained the same. https://archive.fo/D37Nt

It's still a statement that seems contradictory in light of the Jeong hiring and statements made around it, but nonetheless there has been no memory-holing on archive.org in this case.

@sevvierose Frankly and bluntly, anyone using 4chan as a credible source is probably beyond help.

Certainly. I just thought to share that here.

So, anti-vaxxers and that shit might be fake news.
I made a short video about it.

Baisically the conspiracy I might have figured out goes like this (short summary): The anti-vaxxing movement started by companies that make vaccines
Step 1: Start an anti-vax movement by spreading the word as a blogger that no one knows anything about.
Step 2: Some people that did not vaccinate are now gonna justify their decision with the anti-vaxxing movement.
Step 3: Pay media to fear monger about anti-vaxxers
Step 4: People are now willing to get mandatory vaccinations into law.
Step 5: Lobby and make sure even vaccines that not that many take and don't work as good (for example the yearly flu vaccine, it only works about 50%)
Step 6: Extreme profit because now everyone has to get vaccines and more than they got before, the state has to pay so we can come with bullshit reason to increase the prices and people won't complain because the state pays

What made me think of that you ask?

The number that get vaccinated haven't dropped for the past 15 years or so, yet you never heard from the media that people that don't vaccinate are gonna make shit come back

You sound like vee.

I can assure you that I am not romanian, I am a swede

x)

your gypsy tricks won't fool us Vee

Lol

I don't vaccinate personally

I don't vaccinate others, I'm not a doctor

So what happened in Portland yesterday? Last I saw the Police were telling everyone to leave and people were doing so but there's pictures being thrown around on Leftie twitter of someone getting head injuries from what looks like gas round

thats really about the extent we have heard and seen

The narrative that I've heard is that police were fairly competent at keeping the demonstrators separate, the lefties got agitated that they weren't able to stop the righties and started throwing shit at cops. Cops weren't going to take any shit and started clearing out the lefties. By this point people were so overwhelmed by the heat that they lost most of their willingness to fight and just went home.

in other words, pussies

Seen a couple of news flashes about "clashes between Antifascist protesters and police" today but I dunno how credible they are

well its as creditable as the very chat we are in right now

Maybe they should call them what they are

pro communists

Dude I'm a Commie and I refuse to be compared to those larping Trotskyites

Pffft, kommunists are mad, Real marxism is the way to go

Nah, just trolling

You are pro commie, that does not make you antifa. Im pro equal rights, that does not make me a feminist.

I think what Marx really wanted was complete decentralisation, at least that is how he talks in his literature

I dont think anyone can have any claim as to what he really wanted.

You know, like who owns linux? Nobody, you could say that the community that uses it owns it

He only has that book and has nothing behind him besides being a neckbeard philosopher with a big idea.

But back in Marxs time everyone either worked on or used everything that was produced

That is not to say that he has no value intrinsicly.

What do you mean "that book"?

He wrote many books, his most famous books "Das Kapital" (because it has 4 volumes that are each at least 500 pages) were his most famous

And how many people are aware of that?

Im only pointing out hes famous for "that one book"

Why do you ask? Because authority and employers worked to censor, later prevent people from getting them, later it was big news when the poor censored guy released a new book

Well

That is sad, because obviously they haven't read that book then

How many commies do you think actually read that stuff? Probably around the same proportion of christians who read the bible.

It literally starts with "I will not go through x in this book series because I have already done that countless of times and in many of my previous books"

Yes

I agree on that

Its the same really, nobody wants the effort to go through that, but they think they know enough to make everyone think they are the authority on that subject

I will always point out inaccuracies people quote from the bible. And I actually did read the bible. Not these days, its been years

From almost completing the first volume of "Das Kapital", I can assure you he has nothing against the free market

Well, at least not in the first volume, he does mention the free market but only in how it actually fixes value on products and is self regulating

My issue isnt with him. Its the selective memory about what he purports to belive.

What does purports mean?

People know the commie manifesto, not the kapita

Omfg... I hate that book

Worst. Summary. Ever

If someone writes something, I cant say that he beleives that. Im not him.

Same I can say he lies, I am not him. He might, he might not.

What is important is the conclusion people get from it.

Not what the author meant specifically when he wrote that passage at that moment.

Baisically, it's like a summary of atheism like this: we want to rid of religioun in politics.
But said in a way that sounds like you want to masacre religious ppl

That is how weird the commie manifesto is written

but it is after all 60 tiny pages with huge text that summarises thousands of thousands of pages from other books

Now that is fascinating

Its a summary, but a badly compiled one in your opinion?

Well people dont have the time.
