  They don’t appear to understand the difference between cultural and gender identity. I’d try this:
  “If a white person of european descent were raised from birth by a Sentinel Island tribe, would they be culturally european?”
  The answer is obviously no, illustrating that the cultural identity of a person depends on the culture the person was raised in. I don’t know how gender identity works, but clearly how someone is raised has little to do with it.

  Anyone wanna tell me what’s up with that dog? I duckduckgoed ‘that fucking dog’, but the results were unhelpful.

  This is the best answer I think, tons of income from tourism.

  Couldn’t you just skip that room?

  Maybe I can bring myself to be excited about it by the time we know if it’s actually any good, for now though I couldn’t care less. Give me Lower Decks season 6.

  I thought “conservatives” couldn’t invent a worse economic idea after “If the rich have more money, surely some of it will end up with the poor at some point”, but here is “Just make everything more expensive so it becomes cheaper”. Wow. It’s almost impressive at this point.

  I subconsciously skipped the entire text after a few words and didn’t even realize or think about why until I saw this comment. OPs style of writing is exhausting. If they talk like that in person, that would explain a lot.

  I’ve always thought of Dr Pepper as either a can or a company, never a person, let alone specifically enough to have a gender.

  A guy on YT used to (or still does idk) upload entire FSD trips after every update. I haven’t watched any lately but the trend was that the software was improving with some regressions every now and then, which were fixed in the next updates.

  I thinked this is why Fairphone chose an SoC that is usually used in industrial/IoT hardware for the FP5. They’ll apparently get software support from Qualcomm until 2028.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yesterday in Kroger (a supermarket for you non-Americans) I saw a bunch of cans of potato salad. Why would someone buy canned potato salad?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Naturally, I’m hated by both sides.
  As you should be. Though a bit of mustard is also good in the mayo version.

  Mayo vs vinegar is kind of an actual debate in germany. The civilised side and the vinegar people are mostly blissfully unaware of each other until they develop righteous hatred for the other salad as soon as they learn of it. I heard the vinegar version is eaten warm, which sounds even worse. I would say both are authentic, but vinegar potato salad is authentically horrible.
  Storebought potato salad will also at best get people talking behind your back in germany, no matter which kind.
