Southern fried chicken comes from Scotland and WAfrica. And the EAsians have done heroic work in fried poultry tech. But the idea of shredding an animal with industrial machines and recombining it all with meat glue and fillers into appetizing dinosaur shapes, rolling it in breadcrumbs and frying it golden brown and crispy is 10,000% American and you can’t deny it.

Just more blatant anti-Americanism from our so called allies.

Thinking that the wrong dude is the Pope is the most Catholic thing ever.

Andrew Tate is wild to me. Did y’all know he’s a black Muslim from Chicago?

Fieri makes perfect sense as a chud. But I don’t get how you become Andrew Tate when your biography looks more like Malcolm X.

The meme drag pedophiles so hard, you barely notice that it dehumanizes refugees to the same degree.

Lot’s of people avoid using the word retard. But that’s hard on some people because the loss of that word can decimate their whole vocabulary.

I support your freedom of expression; language is hard, and some people need verbal prognostics to make their point. It’s rude to pick on people just because of a diminished capacity.

A coworker saw me using a terminal and educated me that computers used to just be just a terminal with no mouse.

Hey, remember that time ICE was under attack with artillery or other explosives? No doubt led by Field Marshall Walz. Buy War Bonds!

I don’t know why Iran would be more credible. Counting Israel, the three regimes are all infamous and world-class liars. If we can’t trust the word on any of them in isolation, trusting one over another would be madness.

I looked this up, and honestly pretty tame.

one of the stories:

Struwwelpeter describes a lazy, dirty boy who does not groom himself properly and is consequently unpopular.

Devastating. In Irish lore, ghosts appear to be phantasmagorical dancers in the forest and if you join in, YOU JOIN IN. As I mentioned elsewhere, a trespass unto the wrong part of the forest or even stepping in a fairy circle might provoke the faeries to kidnap your infant.

The Irish stuff is less cautionary tale and more explaining why terrible shit happens for no reason.

EDIT: another story from Struwwelpeter

Die Geschichte von den schwarzen Buben (“The Story of the Inky Boys”): Nikolas (or “Agrippa” in some translations)[7] catches three boys teasing a dark-skinned boy. To teach them a lesson, he dips them in black ink.

Based.

For starters, Irish faeries are not like tinkerbell. They like to play pranks. Like kidnapping babies and replacing them with mimics. The creature we’d recognize as the Headless Horseman is Irish folklore, as well as the whole concept of Halloween. Bram Stoker, an Irishman need not have borrowed from Eastern European traditions, because the Irish had a bloodsucking undead monster too.

Every time I see a white dude pilot on my flight I get a little nervous. I hope he’s qualified and not just here because his uncle owns the airline.

AI slop.

The lid is wildly bigger than the seat, and not aligned in any way either. It’s also interesting that the seat is hinged in the back, and fused with porcelain in the front.

Air defense weapons are “provocative”? That’s like a rapist saying it’s provocative for women to buy pepper spray.

it’s pretty trivial to avoid a nation’s air defenses. Effortless in fact.

The pawn business is so exploitative, but they’re heroes compared to payday lenders.

Judging by the suspect’s age and behavior, this sounds a whole bunch like a mental health event rather than something political. Don’t be surprised if the motive was something like OpenAI put chips in his blood on behalf of he CIA.
