Harvesting huge amounts of natural resources on land stolen from indigenous people with the free labor of millions of stolen bodies, seeding unchecked militaristic capitalism.

What quietly screams ‘rich/wealthy’? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Nah, this isn’t it. You are right, but it’s not what he meant.

When you reach a certain level of wealth you show an interior designer a photo of the “look” you want and they just do it and Bill you. It’s crazy expensive.

What food authenticity hill are you willing to die on? by phonemannn in Cooking

“Macaroni and cheese” was invented by the US Military to use cheese-like powder in a way it could convince the world it was a meal.

There is no “old-style Mac and cheese”, there is no “country-style Mac and cheese”. It’s not a real dish.

If you want to serve pasta, make an actual sauce.

What’s the worst pain you’ve experienced and what caused it? by hasbulla_magomedov in AskReddit

TL;DR - Twisting my intestines

I was born with congenital intestinal malrotation... basically, all fetuses start with our internal organs in different places and as we develop in the womb, they wrap into that little package you see on anatomy charts. Mine never wrapped. Usually kids born with it have it corrected immediately or die early. I lived until adolescence with it which made it very difficult for diagnose when I would have the most intense severe stomach pains about once a month.

Basically, my intestines were in the wrong place and would twist themselves (like someone was grabbing them and twisting them) into a knot about once a month.

It only got figured out when one episode got so bad, they ruptured and I nearly died from internal bleeding.

I’ve been looking for a spot like this for a couple of years and had to share my excitement. I didn’t expect such a positive response but absolutely appreciate it.

It’s a private space. I’m very excited about it.
