Oh, yeah. “American Cheese” (and other processed cheese) does technically have to be made from primarily cheese, which is a concerningly low bar for “cheese based consumable products” to fail to meet.

Not sure I understand, I’m sorry.

Ah, I was indeed specifically talking about the meats - I did forget there were all the other traditional accouterments that go along with American barbecue.

We did slip up a tiny bit by literally calling it “American cheese”. Slight strategic error on that one.

Isn’t that primarily a spanish invention? US has a culture built around it absolutely, but most places also incorporate it somehow, especially oceania and any former spanish colonies. It’s not really an “american” food per se as far as I’m aware.

Full disclosure that I’m not confident on any of these names being right: in terms of candy specifically I’m really partial to Livada Moldovei, Dulcineea Pasarea, Maiastra and those little chocolate cone things I think aren’t called “carmen” but that’s the name written on them?

I haven’t actually found any I don’t like, though, for what that’s worth.

Honestly, I still don’t really know what “real” western food is.

French cuisine is the most classically famous example, but pretty much every western country has hundreds of years of it’s own extremely distinct culinary identity (ex: Germany, Spain, Italy, even the UK (despite the jokes)).

If you just mean the US though, it doesn’t exactly have it’s own unified thing going on beyond what you’ve listed (burgers, pizzas, etc) but there are plenty of foods, and even a few entire genres of food, that are very closely tied to the american identity (Texmex is the best one I can think of). The most “american” american food I can think of is probably hotdish which… I don’t actually recommend seeking out (please don’t hurt me, I just don’t think the majority of casseroles are all that great)

Glad I got to enjoy them before they went to shit, cuz otherwise kid-me would’ve have the impression that “all western foods suck”.

… This is like someone saying “Guys I thought American chocolate was awful, but have you tried this Hershey’s stuff?!? It’s so good!” Like I’m glad you had a good experience but… but I’m sorry that was your good experience.

Absolutely incredible candy comes out of moldova. Damn does that country have an amazing confectionery culture.

I was in a hobby secret santa organized online - I got two presents that year, some very generous hobby additions and the discovery that San Marino isn’t just a region in Italy…

sure but… boliva doesn’t have nukes

Death toll in the jail article is ~1029 yearly, if its explicitly stated I didn’t see it. That was calculated from the figures given (total pop 735k * death rate of 1.4/1000) (That number is wrong, as stated in the article the actual rate is likely to be slightly higher because they had to exclude a great many sources from their sample due to bad or questionable data).

It should be noted that those deaths aren’t divided by cause: police muders, inmate violence, deaths from pre-existing conditions, lightning strikes, deaths from conditions exacerbated by the quality of care available in the prision, dying from old age, fatal infections from rusty stairs, deaths from food poisoning, fatal allergic reactions to bee-stings, suicides etc. are all lumped together because they’re all relevant to the conclusions of the study, but aren’t necessarily relevant here.

Those… look it’s NOT hard to find data to show the death toll for the US, so why did you go with such horrible examples?

There is no widely agreed on figure for the number of people that have been killed so far in the war on terror as the Bush Administration has defined it to include the war in Afghanistan, the war in Iraq, and operations elsewhere. According to Joshua Goldstein, an international relations professor at the American University, the global war on terror has seen fewer war deaths than any other decade in the past century.

Like beyond how rough the numbers are: the wiki pages all include the total death counts, but those are both coalition wars and the total deaths are not broken down at all. This data exists, you can find it, but you can’t find it there so why use it?

Similarly, the paper on jail deaths very much does not answer the question, as it is an analytical study on the impact of jail conditions on mortality and explicitly does not address the causal conditions of those deaths:

[…] health and mortality data for people who are incarcerated or in police custody have been shown to be “incomplete…incorrect… [and] anachronistic,”42 and jail data may underestimate deaths or contain inaccuracies related to causes of death. Finally, the associations found in the study do not suggest causality.

It is not hard to show what you want to show. By instead providing such poor quality sources, you undermine the credibility of your point to a spectacular degree. Like. Just use real numbers? Hell, it’s not hard to find very reasonable estimates on death tolls from imperialism itself. But notoriously vague values from sources that explicitly clarify their own imprecision is just a terrible way to approach this.

The FBI said the information came from a “sensitive source with excellent access” and introduced the report as a warning about “extremist actors targeting law enforcement officers and federal facilities”.

Remember kids, look into securing your phone & only add people to your group chats that you have good reason to trust.

He owns a lot of boats, both the RV6000 (currently being constructed, rumored price $300 mil) and the Pressure Drop are research vessels that belong to him - pressure drop does some very good science, and has for quite a long time.

He also owns a fleet of pleasure yachts. The two groups of ships are conflated for… reasons I actually cannot understand.

They’re non-harmful if you eat them, but they’re also not compostable and need to be removed before being disposed of

In case anyone is confused as to what OP is describing, here’s a vid that explains the method.

Current gen of samsung phones has removed it entirely, fwiw.

I know it’s a meme retort, but what about that was weird? The perception of elitism is one of the biggest reasons people don’t adopt linux; criticizing windows for it’s many spectacular flaws is a good thing to do, but “hacking” the OS to get it working is something we in the linux sphere do all the time (and most of us enjoy it, even). Besides that, using Group Policy or a registry flag to disable the edge takeover is arguably less hacky than the ritual bloodletting ceremonies I had to go through to get ARC drivers working in debian. Windows sucks, let’s just tell people the real reasons for it instead of setting them up for disappointment when they do eventually try linux and find that you still have to put effort into it if you’re doing anything nonstandard.
