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 your intensely 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 instead of, say, using olive oil in a curry or egg fried rice 🤮.

Maybe they’re not making Italian, Greek or Spanish food?

Yes it was, learn what communism is. You can’t just label things you don’t like as communism.

Don’t just declare it to be different, grow a spine and demonstrate the difference as you were asked or do one.

It just described what they had in the soviet union though…

Can you name the differences or is it just that it “feels kinda commie” to you?

Can you quote the ad hominems or did you make that up?

Follow your dreams, bitch!

Am I doing this right?

I see that having to back things up only extends to me and not you.

Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian political ideology emphasizing extreme nationalism, a strong central state, militarism, and the subordination of individual rights to the nation’s perceived unity and strength, often led by a dictator. It emerged in early 20th-century Europe.

Sorry that you can’t make communism and fascism interchangeable.

You can’t even defend the system based on It’s own merit. You can only declare other, select systems, to be worse. Try and defend capitalism on it’s own merit. Dont claim things from the passage of time or things that could easily have happened under any economic system like “medicine existing.”

Yes, the death there was represented by the wage theft of the ruling capitalist oligarchs.

Of course, the only options are to be ruled over by capitalist oligarchs or be in a slave state/no technology or literal kings instead of metaphorical ones. Nice one!

I might have a larger percent of the overall Total money but that doesn’t matter if money stops mattering

You pretending to be a billionaire? Also, I’m not sure the argument you’re making because it seems to argue my point better than it does yours.

False, the gap between rich and poor has never been bigger in all of human history.

People can hate both. For example, we can hate both Musk for being a democracy hating piece of shit AND the system that enabled him and his like to buy an election. Using a blanket term like that catches all within said game, just to be clear

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 anything other than harsh put-downs 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. It wasn’t my intention.

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.

Even this one?

2 kings chapter 2 verse 23-24

From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some boys came out of the town and jeered at him. “Get out of here, baldy!” they said. “Get out of here, baldy!” He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the Lord. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys.
