It’s quite possibly the WASPiest food in existence. A dish devised to showcase the wonders of in all its grandeur.

The lib compulsion to deny the power of protest while championing the
as the only appropriate instrument for change…
The thing is, SUV prices depreciate, and people who would never be able to afford a new one can easily obtain them used. Gas prices are obviously not enough of a deterrent even to those living paycheck to paycheck. Some additional barriers to disincentivize the choice of driving the largest car they can afford is very welcome.
The SUVs in Europe are also smaller on average than the behemoths on American roads. The largest ones you will come across in France will be BMW X5 sized. And while they are large, they are utterly dwarfed by SUVs like the Suburban, Sequoia and Escalade. An Escalade vs X5 comparison here.
It’s the video fakes that are really going to upend society. When the tools to make convincing videos with nothing but an AI prompt are in everyone’s hands we are never going to trust anything ever again.
I don’t think this position qualifies for that meme because there are legions of people who agree.
Yes, but it still reeks of colonial insensitivity when a white person says it. Non-indigenous Americans should have replaced that word with Native by now.
Cats reduce pollutants that contribute to smog that directly harm human health. But they do nothing to reduce the net carbon released into the atmosphere. In fact, by converting carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide they are hastening climate change (CO2 is a more potent greenhouse gas than CO).
I’ve never met a librarian who didn’t offer enthusiastic help when asked. I’m sure there are some cranky ones out there, but I can’t think of a public facing job where the workers are as cheerful and helpful as librarians. It takes a certain temperament to devote your life to encouraging others to read books.
Hold onto it long enough and it will be eventually. Home ownership is the only real cheat code we have against inflation.
Can’t expect to mimic the curbside aesthetics of the model walkable-city when you’re dealing with 100+ degree heat for a third of the year.
UAW factories don’t make affordable economy cars anyway. In fact, the Big 3 abandoned that segment altogether in favor of higher margin trucks and SUVs. They didn’t choose to strike at the plants that build the Wrangler and Bronco randomly. Chinese EVs are slowly taking over Europe because they offer more car for less money. Our steep tariffs are the only thing preventing a Chinese takeover of the US market that would dwarf the Japanese invasion of the 80s.
And yet, if Palestine had nukes, Israel would not encroach on its borders.
Because the Anglosphere was so xenophobic that even the Irish and Italians were too culturally exotic to them and thus demonized their entire belief system.
