I guess some people just like cold weather, have never experienced tater tots, don't understand patriotism, and hate puppies. Can't win them all.

Mechafunkzilla posted:Do you enjoy virtually any kind of modern commercial art? Thanks America. Like what exactly? Cinema had a lot of interesting things from all over before the studio system and WW2 makes the Europe scene diminish. But yeah USA is definetly the first place to go for this sort of thing. The problem is the amount of shite taht gets brought out as well. Art as in wall art? I think a lot of the post modernist movement is from the US? But I am not much of a fan myself. I like the old Northern Renaissance pictures myself. Breughal the Elder and hieronymous bosch. Music? Again despite the systems being in place in the USA there seems to be a few more classic bands from the UK, but again a lot is from the US.

Josef bugman posted:Fair enough. Did the research grants stop recently for any particular reason, or is it now all private companies more than Universities? The reason is that the committees on science in Congress have been stuffed with some of the dumbest motherfuckers in Congress for at least thirty-six years now, as it's a low-prestige committee which doesn't get you the big campaign donations of, say, finance. Hand them a paper on the mating dynamics of an endangered species of rodents in the Southwest and they'll call for cuts to science funding since obviously scientists don't have anything better to do than watch rats gently caress and really what's that going to do for us?

I resent at least two of those as I like puppies and have experienced "tater tots" if they are potato croquettes.

Josef bugman posted:What is a tater tot? Where are you from? It's sort of like a potato croquet. But not. First, you shred potatoes into small, 1/8 inch squares. Then you force the scares into a cylinder about 1 inch long, 3/8 inch around. Then deep fry it. edit: Croquet's have a center more or less made from mashed potatoes. Not so fo tater tots.

My girlfriend and I are so white we look like we fell asleep in a bleach factory and we keep things 70 degrees (Fahrenheit, God's temperature scale). I consider anything below 60 to be cold.

Donkwich posted:Does America whitewash its history more than other countries, on average? We got to read some of A People's History of the United States in high school, but I know that schools in other parts of the US teach about how great slavery was for the slaves, and I'm wondering about how that compares with the rest of the world. When I was touring the Hanoi Hilton (Hao Lo Prison) this is from the section on the Vietnam War...  By the way, I watched 'Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee' the other night - drat near in tears at points. Powerful movie. Boon fucked around with this message at 03:22 on Aug 22, 2016 |

Food chat is forgetting a very fundamental thing.

Honestly, I would consider s'mores, cajun food, and Texas barbecue alone to be proof that we have contributed to the culinary world. We deeply, deeply regret some of our worst abominations such as American cheese, turducken, candy corn. The endless array of creatively fried foods are considered a mixed blessing.

Non-Kraft non-Velveeta American cheese is actually pretty good. I mean, it's bland, but as it's primarily intended as a condiment that's perfectly acceptable; it's basically just a Colby/Cheddar blend.
