Make sure you have plenty of toilet paper.

No doubt. Homemade is infinitely superior. Almost a different kind of food. Just comparing it to generic store brands.

You should never ever in a million years find restaurants serving Kraft mac and cheese in America. That’s wrong. It’s a cheap food you fix up at home when you’re feeling too lazy to cook for real. Most of us like it because we grew up eating it. Real Mac and cheese is so much better.

Well I mean it’s hard to compare. Homemade is clearly on another level. The boxed stuff is a very quick meal to put together out of the box. Homemade takes a while to do properly. I almost see them as like different foods.

I was really just comparing to generic. Annie’s isn’t generic. I still prefer Kraft, but I’d take Annie’s over generic too.

Kraft mac and cheese, all the store brands are superficially similar but taste bland and or have weird textures.

Just remember as you read news, these are inherently biased sources. Basically all of them are. Look at who they are citing to understand how bias might affect the information being relayed to you. For example, if Hamas or Gaza Authorities are saying something, it is probably coming from a pro Hamas perspective, if IDF or Israeli authorities are saying something, probably comes with some bias too. This is true of all news, all the time. The spin is real. Anyone claiming a lack of spin are probably the biggest spinners of bullshit. It sucks that to be well informed you have to be able to be literate not only in the language but also how to read journalism itself. But that’s the reality.

They’re the propaganda arm of Doha, the same government that protects Hamas leadership. They’ve repeatedly printed Hamas lies without fact checking. Why would Israel not ban their propaganda outlet? Calling them journalists when they don’t adhere to basic journalistic standards is ludicrous. This isn’t new either. They’ve been acting this way forever. Lying about the hospital bombing was just the last straw.

It would be much more useful to see a comparison to income so you could get a better idea of how realistic purchasing a home actually is. For example, Buffalo has cheap homes, but can you get a job there that afford one? And how is the quality of life there? How is crime? Like, it might be the case that San Jose is a better deal or more realistic if salaries are high enough to justify the home price. Because right now, this is more a map of just, what is the overall economy like for each city.

A salad is at least one ingredient chopped up and tossed with some kind of dressing. This basically requires at least two ingredients. One chopped solid and one liquid dressing. Could be cucumbers and vinegar. Could be lettuce with ranch dressing. Obviously salads with more ingredients than two or three are probably gonna be better, but I think you could call cucumbers and onions chopped up and tossed with ranch a salad for sure.

For real, browsing all is mostly great. I just block the shit I don’t wanna see ever again.

You have a profound misunderstanding of the trans Saharan slave trade. Over centuries it resulted in millions of West African slaves being transported into and through the Arab world. This may not even have been the most significant source of slaves out of Africa during the pre-European colonial period. It is highly likely that more slaves came from Central and East Africa via Zanzibar. Millions upon millions of slaves being extracted from Africa before the Portuguese arrived. I’m not saying that what Europe did was even remotely reasonable. Just understand that we didn’t invent slavery, we didn’t start up slavery in Africa out of nowhere. It doesn’t excuse us. But we’re not uniquely evil either.

Simply not correct at all. Look up the trans Saharan slave trade. It was absolutely enormous business before the Portuguese sailed down the West Coast of Africa.

Definitely corrected the mistake, I went much dumber this time around.
