That’s not what saying something like that would mean but I’m not going to laugh at someone who isn’t a native speaker for that. It’s a weird reply though.
My point is that you don’t have to use olive oil. I just said it in a silly way. It’s a prompt for the realisation of “oh yeah, I could use other oils. Other oils exist.” You don’t seem to have picked up on that and have chosen taken it personally, on behalf of olive oil. Theres no need. The oil doesn’t care.
Good luck with the olive oil fried rice though!

Sorry to burst your bubble but I’m not American. However, your assumption that my view must be American, specifically due to you intensly eurocentric view, is painfully ironic.
For some people making Indian, Mexican, Thai or Chinese food with olive oil isn’t tasty, as (believe it or not) olives don’t actually go with everything.
I mean, I listed more than just Italian but I guess that’s inconvenient for the point you’re attempting to make.
I am being free. It’s just im using my freedom not to make my food taste weird. People can use a neutral oil like vegetable oil for almost everything.
Careful climbing down from that high horse.

Maybe they’re not making Italian food?

Honestly, it’s the latter. Sorry. Without trying to be ironic, it’s the over generalisations and lack of nuance in their views of other cultures. It’s also like you guys are worried any positive feedback might go to our heads and we’ll start invading the world again or something.
Also, the only people who tend to be that negative towards our food tend to say it in French and be a lot more specific, almost constructive in their feedback (by French standards that is). Even then, I’m yet to meet a French person who isn’t partial to a well made fish and chips or a shephard’s pie and I’ve met a fair few. In fact, the French have their own version of shepherd’s pie that isn’t as good as the British, can you believe? Maybe it’s the exception that proves the rule lol.
Most British people tend to make the poor French version and not slow cook the mince down in stock and stout beer until thick or use a proper buttery, cheesey mash to go with it.

Fair enough, apologies if I came across too strong.

Pointing out that I think someone is being a bit unfair and overly generalising isn’t making something a competition.
It genuinely does take time for people to adapt. That’s not point scoring.

Tbf, some people just throw mash potato over mince beef they’ve cooked with chopped tomatoes and soggy carrots. I used to think I hated it too, until I made it properly.
However, I feel thats like deciding how good American food is based on next door’s poor attempt at a dry meatloaf. We have plenty of bad cooks here who panic and make poor food that they take no time over. Maybe more than our fair share.
Also, we don’t cover up the taste of spoiling, poor quality, food by drowning it in sugar syrup and seasoning powder. That can take some time for palettes to adapt to.

Yeah, I’m not taking the “that’s not indigenous food” from an American who im sure will unironically attempt to claim pizza and the hamburger steak.
Sad to hear you don’t like apple pie though. I thought you guys loved that one.

The idea that the UK has less in common than France than France does with Kazakhstan is hilarious.
Bravo!

To me, no one really needs to be told that being fit and healthy is better than not being fit and healthy. It’s more that, as a society, we’ve been convinced over eating can be repaid with excersise, to sort of balance it out (an idea pushed by food lobby groups). I’m not saying that you disagree with any of that.
We evolved as persistence hunters. Being able to run off our winter fat reserves would’ve made us poor persistence hunters and we would’ve died out.

Music has been captured by business now more than ever. I think you’ll be be very hard pushed to find anyone who can make a living from music that would meet everyone’s definition of a strong message etc. now. So, mines a lot less that and just more punk now.

- Comment on Jesus hates American "Christians" 2 months ago:
This is almost exactly what brought me out of christianity. I was institutionalised into it from birth. So, I always just glossed over the most obvious problems that people would bring up. If anything, it entrenched me further.
However, I started realising that I had more love and compassion for people than, not just christians, god claims to have, by their own admission.
How can I love a stranger than an all loving God?
It was all downhill from there.

Lol no, it’s nihilism. There’s literally “nihil” to talk about.
I only meant it in the same way that if someone spoke about an author who’s famous for writing about how to deal with depression and I replied “i hope that author helped you with your depression.”
I’m simply wishing you the best of health.

However it’s pronounced, I hope he helped cure you of your nihilism.

So true and it’s a great to remind them of that sort of thing.
You know, you’d think all of the people who say it’s purely down to genetics would be natural allies with, you know, molecular biologists (applied genetics). They’d be all like “it’s a Y chromosome or nothing” and the biologists would be all like “yeah chromosomes!” because we fucking love chromosomes but no. In fact, it’s noticeably absent when you start to think about it.
I wonder why that might be?
The short answer is “because it’s infinitely more complicated than that.”
Just because you carry the genetic code for anything at all, it doesn’t mean you’ll express it. The default setting for our DNA is off. So, if something isn’t telling it to transcribe, it won’t do it. A whole load of reasons could cause that, even before we get to mutations and partial expression or chimeras etc.
Anyway, what i mean is yeah, this meme!

We all know why of course. Ghosts are just lazy. How can I be expected to believe in a group who clearly don’t believe in themselves?
