If you want to experience American culture I recommend https://www.youtube.com/@PeterSantenello
America doesn't have one culture. It has 500 cultures. But the ones that other cultures notice are the ones I listed. Cities literally stink.
>Thanks for trying anyway
Same to you!
Native English speaker. Read more books. Or maybe some Thomas Jefferson. The sentence wasn't that complex.
>That aside, what made up assertive nonsense is this?
It's ANES data. Since words are clearly difficult for you, I included a picture. https://arete.network/attachments/zcbz1owza8jnvaot6u2gmd5o20...
I looked at that data and decided deliberately, out of rational self interest to be just like them and put my own race first exactly like they do. Equality!
Fish Fails to Detect Water
The easiest way to see it is look at Japanese portrayals (outsider perspective). Cowboys, horses, guns, pride in our military and our free speech, fireworks and BBQs.
Just because you look down on the culture doesn't mean there isn't one.
Do you not remember the two-minutes-hate where they screamed at Emmanuel Goldstein? Apparently not. The point is people rabidly attack Trump when his policies - especially foreign - are indistinguishable from Biden, Obama, and Clinton. You're attacking a dummy setup for that. Your obsession with him makes it obvious. Israel gets whatever they want instantly, and Americans get fancy speeches from figureheads.
You're the one screaming at a figurehead and accusing me of doublethink? Read the book again.
Oh no, they'll have to raise wages due to lack of labor. How terrible for the working class (everyone).
Even if they don't give me a raise, I'll still have more purchasing power at the end of a year rather than less as the case with USD.
This site is worse than reddit in all of the worst ways.
If you don't like the term given to your basket of political beliefs give one that encapsulates it that you like better.
"MAGAts" is the obvious 'other side' parallel. Both sides have their crazies and denying that one exists means you're obviously one of them. As a Pacific Green I don't even like the fact that I can say "both" and people both know what I'm talking about and perpetuates the misguided notion that only two parties exist.
Better for whom? People are struggling to afford groceries largely because the dollar is worth 1/165th of its 1913 value and the minimum wage hasn't been raised in 17 years.
I found a job that pays in BTC and I'm super hopeful about that one because my effective salary won't go down by 3-8% every year but instead will appreciate relative to what things are priced in.
Most countries have MUCH higher standards for immigration and their citizens much better off for it.

It was listed on this wikipedia page until July 11, 2020. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preventable_causes_of_death
I know because I frequently cited it in arguments with citizen disarmament advocates before it was edited out.
Another arbitrary invention. Why not divide by 3? Or 5? Or any other magic number?
No it isn't.
>Moon months exist, and there are 13 of them
I said the months are defined by the moon. You said it was wrong, then agreed with me. Note that I never said there are 12 months. I said:
>Months exist, defined by the orbit of the moon.
>1: 11th month by name, but some Pope's birthdays reforms happened until we ended up with February at 28 days and no spring's start is the new year, etc.
This refers to calendars, which are an inventions by man.
>2: Even if that was Christmas before the popes changed it and/or Christians like to feast when heathens brethren/converts did, simultaneously. And historically more plausible for a time of travel to do a census.
This is more calendar stuff. I'm not talking about calendars, but periods defined in nature by things that exist independent of mankind. The ones I listed are all very clearly defined by mostly celestial events. Weeks are an arbitrary invention and so are calendars.
Where does the 4 come from? Human artifice.
I use https://search.brave.com by default everywhere and for things even they don't want to show you, there's https://yandex.com.
I only use google as a last resort.
Days exist, defined by the rotation of the Earth.
Months exist, defined by the orbit of the moon.
Seasons exist, defined by the solstices and equinoxes.
Years exist, defined by the orbit of the Earth.
Pretty much everything else is an invention of man.
So I'm guessing you could get the same boost from exercise, probably moreso.
Anything that elevates the heart rate for a bit is generally good for humans.
>The common parakeet or budgie has some interesting UV features. There is a small UV reflective patch on the chin, which appears dark violet to humans. Also, unlike most yellow birds, the yellow feathers on the head of the parakeet strongly absorb ultraviolet light.
Man, I need to unplug.
Just another horror beyond our comprehension?
