Ain’t that the truth. We were supposed to be better than this and we were supposed to be improving
- Comment on Why do some Americans "feel ashamed" for being American even when it's not their fault? 2 hours ago:
Because I look at my country and what it’s done and feel insufficient for my failure to keep it from doing stupid and evil things.
Also the European and Canadian frustration with America and Americans is understandable, but it has an impact especially when you still think highly of those places and their people.

Give fresh a try. Canned green beans tend towards mushy where fresh have some crispness. A lot of people who like it swear by some trick, and I really think that upgrading the beans is the best strategy, upgrading the soup is risky with good payoff if you do it well, and upgrading the onions is something that I always see people suggest whenever fried onions appear and it’s a crazy increase in effort for at absolute best, very little improvement.
But what do I know I’m the cheese and potato casserole/mac and cheese relative.
- Comment on Feeding my family alone is expensive. I can't afford to feed all of y'all. 2 days ago:
I think it depends on size and relationship. Nobody brought anything to my grandparents (either side) until I started to. But it was always 10-11 people. Except when their same age siblings came, they’d bring something (much younger great aunt was never considerate of oma and opa). At my in laws’ we cook a dish. If we lived in town I’d probably bring a casserole, but even before we moved far away we still were hours away and you don’t want to leave a casserole for hours.
Friends though, always bring a dish except for the ones friend who has made it crystal clear that she doesn’t want people doing so because she’s insane and shows her love through elaborate meal planning. For her we just try to keep her liquor and wine cabinet overstocked and demand she let us help her with anything she wants.

As the potato casserole aunt, you bet your ass it slaps. It had to unseat homemade painstaking mac and cheese to be my Thanksgiving dish

- Comment on Assuming humanity last another few hundred years; How many human languages do you think are gonna be left in 100 years? In 200 years? 3 days ago:
More. Francafrique will likely continue linguistically diverging from French. South Africa, Malaysia, and Scotland are diverging from English/American English. Spanish continues separating into parts.
So yeah maybe they won’t have separated enough to be separate languages yet that soon, but the European imperial languages don’t have the empires that kept them together
- Comment on I can't eat it all! Don't be shy! 3 days ago:
I think it really depends on preparation. It’s one of those dishes that varies wildly in how good it is based on a few simple things. Canned green beans? The casserole can’t be saved, green beans are one of the worst foods to buy canned that a lot of people still do. Frozen green beans? You can make it good, but you’ve gotta do some doing. Fresh green beans? Even a mid recipe will be pretty dang good, but then you get it good and crispy and maybe you upgrade to a homemade cream of mushroom, and yeah it can steal the show. But people use canned green beans because nobody really likes it and it’s just there to be a traditional vegetable option and so they don’t know how little effort it needs to be drastically better.

- Comment on How do people with epilepsy triggered by flashing lights, drive past trees that are backlit by the sun? 3 days ago:
Yeah I see pro car people use disabled people as a rhetorical position somewhat regularly, but there are a fair number of disabilities that make it so you can’t or shouldn’t drive. It’s one thing if that means “too bad you have to move to a medium sized city and use a reasonably good public transit network” but in North America, that’s not what it means. It means you move to one of the most expensive cities in your country (Ciudad Mexico, Vancouver, New York, Washington DC, Toronto, Seattle, anywhere in the metropolitan US northeast) or you move to a medium sized city (not its suburbs) and catch the hourly bus when it’s operating. The alternative, which i know people who do, is to bum a ride everywhere if you’re able, drive anyways if you’re able, or basically be housebound.
Like, it really is remarkable the difference in experience between people who don’t have a car but have a metro/light rail and the people who have neither. These are policy decisions and they can be changed.
- Comment on How do people with epilepsy triggered by flashing lights, drive past trees that are backlit by the sun? 3 days ago:
Yeah in the US epileptics have similar restrictions. And much like up there, this makes them second class citizens in most places. I don’t want them driving, buy I won’t pretend that that isn’t a major disability in most of our continent (majority by population, not even just area).
It’s easy to say driving is a privilege when we think of the consequences of people like epileptics and alcoholics driving, but we do need to remember that it is structural and policy decisions that make it so that those who lack the privilege of operating this heavy machinery will struggle to maintain employment.

True, but that more or less applies to all religions. The problem is that it’s never just the wisdom of the beatitudes or the Tao Te Ching. At a certain point they start asking you to believe this guy rose from the dead, and a lot of us just don’t buy it
- Comment on 5 days ago:
Yeah a lot of them are pretty open about going to Christianity because they’re directionless. It offers purpose, direction, and community. That all is something the left has struggled to provide to these people (but it absolutely can). So yeah, talk to the directionless young men in your life about food not bombs and union organizing or the right will.
