You really think bad people pay taxes? They’re the ones collecting them!

So what you’re saying is you’d rather have your money taken from you by force, as long as it’s lawful and you get to pretend you have a say in how it’s used…

If they donate money out of their own profits, they CAN write that off. Which of course is also money you gave them, except it’s money you gave them in order to buy their products, not for the purpose of having them donate it.

On a forum that values user’s contributions based on number of votes and allows moderators to unilaterally censor opinions they disagree with?

I am shocked. Shocked, I tell you!

I mean, technically, even the use of tomatoes or potatoes is Native American influence. Except those have become so ubiquitous in European cuisine that no one would even consider for a moment that they were completely unknown there just 500 years ago. Imagine Italian food without tomatoes, or German food without potatoes…

Corn as well, though that didn’t catch on quite as much on the continent, where it’s still mostly a boring vegetable, while Americans use it to bake as well (not to mention putting it into literally everything ever since they figured out HFCS).

Most of what constitutes “traditional” American cuisine is broadly based on European traditions, with British, French, Italian, and German influences being the most dominant. Though many of the recipes have changed and evolved over time, you can still see the influences pretty clearly.

Take the classic Thanksgiving dinner, for instance: although many of the ingredients (such as sweet potatoes and turkey) were unknown in Europe, the way they are prepared is still very similar to how Europeans prepare traditional holiday roasts.

Also, a “proper” meal generally consists of a chunk of meat, veggies, and carbs, usually all prepared separately, or sometimes as a casserole or a stew. Stir-frying is not that common, for instance, but frying, roasting and baking is. If you look into the history of any particular American dish, its roots can often be traced back to the exact wave of immigration that went on to popularize it.

Depending on the region, however, you may also find Native American influences, such as Creole, Cajun, Tex-Mex, etc.

Correct. Therefore, there’s definitely no LSD in the water.

I mean it CAN be pretty dark traumatizing for sure (see Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, especially the White Rabbit scene), but either way, when you’re tripping on LSD, you definitely WILL notice that something’s not right. Wild visual and auditorial hallucinations, vibrant colors and rainbow patterns, up to and including synesthesia (i.e. seeing sound and hearing pictures) are all known to occur.

Even at a low dose it produced noticeable mood changes, though usually no hallucinations.

I’ve had LSD. Trust me, you’d definitely notice.

I hope you have as good a time with this as I did.

Well, get yourself a modern sourceport like vkQuake or DarkPlaces, and then download this mod: https://www.moddb.com/mods/arcane-dimensions

You won’t regret it. This is Quake as if it was made in 2016 instead of 1996. Massive levels. Stunning architecture. Quad shotgun.

What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.

Ecclesiastes 1:9

Honestly, if someone hadn’t let me in on the secret, I probably still wouldn’t have figured it out. Three thoughts later? This one could take you anywhere from three days to three years to figure out.

Well, then what madman thought “we should take this candymaking ingredient and spread it on our fields to improve plant growth”?

Major “Brawndo, it’s what plants crave” vibes.

I just want to know what madman took a look at some fertilizer and thought “hey… what if we put this stuff in candy?”
