MSG is wonderful, no doubt, but the original recipe got a huge chunk of it’s flavor from sour cream which was the main ingredient. Nowadays it’s a mix of mayo and buttermilk instead of sour cream and doesn’t taste the same.

The change from teosinte to maize involved a surprisingly small change to it’s genetic code. Something like 5 genes.

Maize (corn) processed into masa like they did for millennia in the Americas is highly nutritious. White people thought it was something dumb brown people did and didn’t reap the true benefits of the crop

Ranch is basically garlic and onion flavor.

Not true, apparently Chinese immigrants in Ireland created something called a “Spice Bag” which is wholly unrelated to Americanized Chinese food.

You might say “prehistoric mexican farmers” or “prehistoric farmers of modern day mexico”

Zero Handlers? Seriously? I’m sure he had a team of them and that’s not counting Dick Cheney who was more the President than he was.

That’s what I was thinking. Native Groups in many parts of North America didn’t practice agriculture at all or used rudimentary agriculture.

It’s possible that otherwise good combinations don’t line up in terms of season and require crop rotation as opposed to polyculture.

They are not fully responsible.
My exact words were “Helped cause this”. At no point did I hold them solely responsible.
I can’t blame them for believing that personal co2 foot print nonsense.
You say that like Boomers don’t own and hold management positions in companies that pollute. Also, corporations being the main polluters doesn’t absolve individuals of guilt when they make bad decisions.

The most recent year that numbers are widely available for was 2024 when Germany had 184,000 active-duty military personnel. Poland had 216,000 active military personnel; among NATO countries only Turkey and the US had more. Poland had the 13th highest military budget on Earth and was ranked 14th for military expenditures as a percentage of GDP: 4.1% (the highest in NATO).
Their reserves ARE limited in number, but they’ve been spending their funding on large quantities of equipment and weaponry.

I seriously doubt even Trump thinks Greenland is a national security issue. He wants it because some other billionaires want it. Some for resource extraction and some who want to build a planned city to push forward their techo-feudal agenda.

To be fair, the dye they used to use for Red M&Ms was banned for being a suspected carcinogen in the 70s.

Yet they refuse to see that climate change is what is causing this change.
If they accept climate change, it means they have to acknowledge that their actions helped cause this and it means they need to change their behavior. People aren’t good at either but most Boomers especially suck at self-reflection.

The Poles have quietly been building one of the largest militaries on earth. They’re not trying to let themselves get conquered or partitioned again. I don’t think it would take much for them to go eagerly to war with a belligerent Russia. More likely Russian’s next conquest will be against small and vulnerable countries like Georgia or the Baltics if they can get NATO to crumble (or Trump goes to war against NATO over Greenland).

I think the South Korea military would triumph over the North Korean military but NK would cause substantial civilian casualties with the large amount of artillery it has along the border.

The sad part is that Trumps base will see this and writhe with glee. They’ve been spoon fed American Exceptionalism so long, they can’t understand that there were reasons for our success that aren’t “we’re great” or “foreigners are dumb”. Since they consider Europeans second rate and everyone else trash, they’ll take this as a win while utterly oblivious to the way it accelerates Americas decline.

“Just talk to them like people.”
You went on a long tangent but didn’t ultimately actually conflict with this posters central argument. The most sexually successful guy I know has tons to talk about, isn’t afraid of striking up conversations, and treats women like real people. Over time that has translated into an abundance of sex.

I liked Inquisition alot though the behind the scenes scoop was that the development process was a dumpster fire that only came together into a good game cause they got lucky.

BioWare has lost alot of it’s talent in the last several years. There’s almost no one left that played any hand in the Success of Dragonage or Mass Effect 1-3

When recycling first started where I live, we had multiple bins. Paper, and i want to say metal/glass and plastic. Plus garbage and yard waste. But I’m refering to the fact that paper by itself faces additional sorting prior to recycling.

Biggest misconception by far. You can’t just “melt it down” like you can with glass or aluminum or steel
- Comment on This Plastic Mr. Fantastic 5 months ago:
In most countries, recycling paper only made financial sense if they shipped it to poor countries or used prison labor so it could be inexpensively sorted thru. Traditionally it was China, but they stopped accepting it. And letting microorganisms do what they do consumes less resources like electricity and less industrial chemicals.
