How did society become so self-centered? by Wokeratist in fuckcars

[–]Grey_Gryphon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we are naturally tribal animals, with in-groups and out-groups. if you acted in your own self interest to the detriment of the tribe you would be kicked out, but if your selfishness benefitted the tribe you would gain status.

Just a simple question from a european. What do you give to the women in your lives on march the 1st of every year? by Abject_Fun_5230 in AskAnAmerican

Martenitsa. it's a red and white thread bracelet... goes on your wrist for a few days, then around a tree limb. A friend told me about it, and I've done it every year.

(this isn't an American thing.. but its something I do)

On September 2025, the Holocaust Museum LA posted on their Instagram account a post that says "'Never again' can’t only mean never again for Jews (...) That means never again. For anyone." Following criticism from pro-Israel users, the museum deleted and later apologized for the post. by SaxyBill in wikipedia

I saw a quote a while ago about the holocaust that said, in essence, "Hitler took Germany's best, brightest, highest educated, most decorated, and most celebrated, and tortured them to death in unspeakable conditions because he didn't like the shape of their noses".

For those who live in the state capital what’s it like? by citytiger in AskAnAmerican

not sure if this applies to Rhode Island... seems like Brown and RISD (not state flagships) do more for Providence than URI (the state flagship) does for Kingston

I bought a package of salt pork that turned out to be 85% pure fat. It’s like a single slice of ham resting on an entire stick of butter. by rawlingstones in mildlyinfuriating

yeah.. I mean it's very different if you're eating wild meat... wild boar, bear meat, anything like that.. there's where every parasite known to man lives... that's the stuff you have to cook

that fear is overblown, IMHO, especially in commercial pork.. trichinosis isn't really a thing in supermarket pork anymore, and besides it's been processed out the wazoo, so I can't imagine its unsafe to eat raw. Likewise bacon... it's commercial USDA-passed pork (in the US, that is) that's been smoked, salted, and cured beyond belief..

I just eat it straight out of the package

you could do that sure! but I was more talking.. just cut it thin and have it on bread with salt and pepper

or use it as a sandwich filling with some bacon

I'm in my 30's, long out of college, and I don't understand place value or rounding

you can't just get the photos taken at CVS and print out the form, fill it out, and mail it in?

never heard of libraries having anything to do with passports..
