It sounds like your comment is missing some context and nuance. If an immigrant gets US citizenship the US does not then get to claim saag paneer lol

The US could have done something with indigineous food but they did some pretty awful things to those people and refuse to acknowledge much of any of their cultures.

You must have the pleasure of not knowing those people, then. A lot of people genuinely still believe in trickle-down economics and the like.

It’s literally and specifically attacking the blandness that are Turning Point USA racists and you’re taking it as an attack against white people food in general. Your skin is so fucking thin I can see right through it.

I fully agree that there’s a lot more white food than boiled chicken but this is targeting the people who find ketchup to be spicy. Take a big ol’ deep breath.

My friend’s dad has an m235, maybe 4-5 years old now? You can’t hear the exhaust without the windows down and it’s got fake gurgles anyway, the shift throw is a mile long, and the clutch feels fucking awful. It’s fast but you can’t really feel it, not to the degree you would expect to anyway.

Meanwhile my 2015 BRZ shifter, especially with a heavier shift knob, feels awesome. Pulled the “assist” spring off the clutch pedal and now it’s perfectly linear. Maybe you could do the same to the BMW but it wouldn’t fix the throw length. The car’s not fast, but it’s not slow and at least I can feel and hear it.

If you want a good car, buy a Subaru. The BRZs are incredible and the WRX, even the new ones though I do have criticisms, are pretty slick.

Vans: For when you want a truck but you also want it to be actually useful.

...do you really think we don’t know this? Do you really not get the joke? How sensitive do you need to be to see this and think it’s an anti-white thing, not a Diversity vs Racists thing?

They’ll stop using it when people stop falling for it.

The “elite” don’t have any more power than what you give them. At the very least, shut the fuck up if the only thing you can think to say is negative, defeatist garbage.

The US also got there first. Sure there are outside forces acting on it but let’s be real, they have a lot more control over themselves than this and choose to be shit.

Number of what, dollars? Because that figure you mentioned is not something a company looking for real progress would put on its normal citizens, that’s what properly taxing the wealthy would easily cover. And you’re saying that me not having a specific number on hand is a gotcha? Really?

As for the progress, it’s not just $2,000 of taxes to get some plugs. There are a LOT of good regulations the EU has that have benefitted us without even having been in the organization and if we can further support that, both by using that standard AND removing ourselves from the market as users of the old standard, that’s a great thing.

Stop making excuses.

Conservatives aren’t very intelligent, for starters, and it’s been seen that they operate more using the fear centers of their brains(which I imagine gets even more activated when they’re made to be more and more poor by the wealthy as time goes on).

They’re the kind of people who fall for branding super easily. I mean, look at how one-note most of them are, they just do what lines up because breaking away from their “role” is scary and they don’t have a roadmap for it. Plus their friends lack the emotional intelligence to allow their other friends to do stuff without mocking them.

And then you got all the people who seem to think it’s better that everyone get rat-fucked lest even one person gets something they “don’t deserve”, whatever that means. Or the people who are so used to bosses screwing them over that instead of fighting for my rights and equality they give the line “well they own the company so they get to do what they want” which I genuinely don’t believe is a entirely reflection of their desire to be that person but instead more their fear of authority and retribution for them “acting out”. Think of how scared they get when someone offers to raise taxes on the rich and they come out talking about how rich people will leave and take their money away.

Comservatives are scared people while the far-right both knows how and loves to exploit that and they’re too dumb to notice the obvious lying.

Whole countries have switched whoch side they drive on over a single night, and they needed to make sure signs and shit were adjusted. Yes, there would need to be a change, but you can either make excuses or you can make progress.

Right now, you’re making excuses.
