I'm not going to claim that America has no nice domestic food or much bigger health problems that where I am from (there are bits of Glasgow with male life expectancy of 53 for fucks sake; I doubt that there are many places in the states that are that bad) but poo poo like that sounds like the most disgusting yet blandest thing ever...

Of course they're not outright racist, but they're perpetuating racist stereotypes. That's the problem with "casual racism" i.e. the kind of racism found in those jokes. People make the jokes and go along with it but they don't really think about the implications of them.

Its too clunky and predictable to be funny. Asian people like rice! So much! That they will fix your electronics! Maybe something could be done with the concept, but this isn't it.

AGirlWonder posted:It's pretty rare to see someone admit that they believe being gay is a sin. Homosexual acts? Sure, whatever, but even the most conservative evangelicals will usually concede that being gay isn't a sin. Um... I know tons of evangelicals that call being gay a sin. Where are you from that you don't have that?

The vocal ones out here say that the state of being gay isn't sinful. The sin happens when the individual lusts, or engages in homosexual activity. Yes, this is a real distinction. I'm from north Louisiana, so.... pretty Baptist around here.

Yes, this is a real distinction. I'm from north Louisiana, so.... pretty Baptist around here. Yeah when I lived in a Baptist-heavy area, the most vocal anti-gay people were always saying they didn't actually hate gay people, but homosexuality was a sin. "We love the sinner but hate the sin! We don't *hate* you, we just think that you're going to hell for being in love with someone you're attracted to."

In short, they believe there's the 'physical' you, and a 'strawman' corporation/bank account set up in your name that's used for tax purposes; if you just make the  right filings and motions in court, the government is forced to give you control of that account, and you no longer count as a citizen from a tax perspective!

One guy set himself on fire in front of a courthouse and died, which let him escape child support payments. Payments that were to support his daughter, whom he had previously beaten until she bled. Freemen on the land view him as a true hero and martyr. Lottery of Babylon has a new favorite as of 06:03 on Jun 2, 2014 |

Some people related to me have had to deal with someone using those tactics in a property dispute over a trust from another deceased relative and the number of liens and documents they file takes years for the overloaded courts to work through. I don't want to really discuss it further but just responding legally in an appropriate manner costs money that you won't get back for a long time if ever. Theres a reason it's referred to as paper terrorism.

My former stepsister and her husband were involved with these hoydens. My dad paid over $30K to get them set with the IRS. Two years later, they were right back in major debt to the IRS because the IRS was 'illegal' and they were 'free people'.

Which is funny considering the girl closest to camera is wearing shorts so tight that it's almost an optical illusion. Really my takeaway is more along the lines of 'goddamn, I guess teens in the 50s also loved wearing nearly nothing, just like today!'

RareAcumen posted:I just want to say thank you for this post. Because I've seen the tumblr version of it but never the original intent. So I just rolled my eyes and moved on without giving it any real thought because yelling at someone for wanting a simple explanation on things is just stupid. Yeah, it is actually a legit gripe to have, just often taken too far. The idea is basically that there are tons of resources out there for those sincerely interested, and so asking someone from one of these groups to educate you because now you're ready to listen can come off a bit demanding like 'ok, now I'm receptive, educate me!' - but even then, a lot of people can move past that to try and use the opportunity to communicate. It just gets hard because often the same people who ask to be educated end up getting prickly and defensive when they don't like what they're hearing, or when the things they are told aren't coached to them in super-friendly terms. So a lot of the time it starts as 'I am sincerely interested, teach me!' but then the person asking to be taught begins trying to counter the things they're being told. It gets exhausting, like are you really looking to learn or did you just wanna fight? (And hell, some people do blatantly use this approach just because they are looking to pick a fight but don't necessarily want to be called on it). If you've been having the same conversations enough, you get tired of explaining the basics of your position/experience, especially when there's so much reading out there for someone who wants to sincerely learn. It can start to get grating that the people demanding the education (often entirely on their terms) then need to be so heavily catered to in discussion, tiring enough that sometimes people just say 'hey, look it up yourself'. It can be exhausting to be held responsible to be some sort of representative of X group, to have to keep acting nice - because to the person asking questions, what you do reflects on your whole race/gender/sexuality in that moment and it's a lot of pressure to be a Good Representative. God forbid you phrase something wrong and have people stomping away proclaiming YOU KNOW THIS IS WHY NO ONE LISTENS TO [BLANK], MAYBE IF YOU WERE NICER PEOPLE WOULD BE MORE WILLING TO HELP. Basically, sometimes you're just not in the mood to deal with all that. StrangersInTheNight has a new favorite as of 11:36 on Jun 2, 2014 |

I never knew how to cook growing up but decided to learn in the past two years, and I've got a knack for it and now I've developed a genuine love for cooking. I cook an actual recipe meal almost every day. I'm always in the market for healthier recipes, and cauliflower is THE carb substitute of the moment. Now, I like cauliflower itself. So many pages I follow post cauliflower-as-carb recipes: cauliflower fried "rice," mashed cauliflower as bread dough, etc. I've tried a good deal of them and they are all awful. Nothing in my bag of cooking tricks can ever make these cauliflower concoctions taste good. I've come to doubt that any of the people I know who share these recipes have actually tried the recipes; they're just passing them along to look healthy. The cauliflower "garlic bread" one, especially. Goddamn, that one was horrific. And it's still all over my Facebook. People share these things without any clue what they taste like. Maybe you just don't like cauliflower? I've been making a cauliflower mash with just 2Tb of olive oil and butter, and 1/2 tsp of rosemary. It's excellent, especially with something like meat loaf.
