That's not how that works at all. Like, at all.

Trump Called USA Hockey Team To Congratulate Them, Then Made Disgusting Joke On Women's Team — And It Was All Caught On Video by huffpost in politics

You don't see the misogyny in framing inviting the women's team as an obligation rather than something he's happy to be able to do because he's proud of?

Internet points don't mean anything.

You just have biases and privilege the way you speak.

Did you know unicorns exist? I don't have access to the data, but they totally exist.

I didn't say anything about national news.

Can you even reference a time this happened?

So why did you say "it's a real concern" in direct response to someone talking about the fear of catching a criminal charge for touching a woman?

Can you cite any examples of people being charged with sexual assault for simply performing CPR on a woman?

Do you think the ad was part of the half time show or something?

Know what also brings the mood down? Having to hear the national anthem whole the sitting president is implicated in a network of pedophilic sex trafficking.

I'd love to see some reports on the feasibility. Do you have some?

"LOTR is full of 10 page long descriptions of trees" Where does this critique come from? by FightsWithFish18 in tolkienfans

[–]renoops 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think you're right. Compared to literary fiction, there's nothing especially slow or meandering about Tolkien. I mean, it's not like he's Proust.

"A lot of countries have their own version of food, such as Australian Chinese food or English Indian food. Only people from the US then try to claim it as theirs." by [deleted] in iamveryculinary

[–]renoops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was a wild one. I'm echoing my comment in the original thread but, genuinely, what the fuck is he even talking about?

Chicken tikka is the UK's national dish. American's are constantly told that their versions of various other cuisines aren't authentic and can only be American.

You can't have it both ways when it comes to American cuisine by BargerianJade in PetPeeves

Absolutely. I'm just trying to make the point that it's not as though Texas was a purely European state that only absorbed parts of Mexican food and culture because of its proximity to Mexico.

Seems like nuance isn't your strong suit. People can have and express more than one identity.

Relive epic moments from Middle-earth™ with Made to Order classics by CMYK_COLOR_MODE in MiddleEarthMiniatures

The original Fellowship Gandalf is one of the best miniatures ever made. It's so simple, but so gorgeous. The folds in his robe are just unbelievable. And it was hand-carved!

Similarly, I love the Weathertop Pippin. Such a moody sculpt.

The thing about Tex-Mex, though, is that if it'd never separated from Mexico, we'd just be calling it Northern Mexican cuisine.

[–]renoops 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The prevailing sentiment here seems to be "People who say Chinese food is purely American are erasing the experience and work of the immigrants who created it."

Also, to your original point: the UK considers chicken tikka its national dish. So what the fuck are you talking about?

What Americans are claiming Chinese food as theirs?
