I respect the pedantry, but I was trying say that I was using the “Anglo” - which in casual speech is short for the casual “Anglo-Saxon”, itself short for White Anglo Saxon Protestant.
I remember I had this exact same conversation IRL, and we determined that the confusion and somewhat jargony nature of the latter two terms (especially since WASP isn’t well understood outside the US) was why people in casual speech just use the ambiguous “Anglo”.
Semantics 🤷♂️
Oop, I meant Anglo, as in the the shortened version of Anglo Saxon (basically Germanic).

Poor people using spices to cover rotting food is a complete myth falsely attributed to the Middle Ages. Spices were incredibly expensive and a luxury limited to the upper class - anyone rich enough to afford spices did not have to worry about rotting food.
The actual reason for the perceived blandness of White American food is basically the converse of this. Stereotypical white suburban food is probably closest to mid western cuisine.
The mid west was uniquely isolated from Spanish, French, or Italian influence (which were heavier in tastes), lacked international trade to get any spices, and as the nation’s bread bowl specialised in and received lots of subsidies for growing staple crops, like corn.
Ethnically, its white populace is overrepresented by more Anglo ethnicities, like the British, German, and Nordic, which also had more, shall we say, limited palates.

Because marrying for love is a very recent development when it comes to the institution of marriage.
Marriage was created for the primary purpose of passing down family wealth, and ensuring that it stayed within the family. Marriage was a tool to secure political and economic relationships first and foremost. For most of history, consent between the couple to be didn’t even matter.
This fundamental reason behind marriage predates most religions, who later co opted it.
As time goes by, the actual reason behind traditions gets lost and forgotten, so most people just have some nebulous obligation to marry ingrained within them, e.g. my grandparents got married without even knowing each other, so people should be satisfied with anything better than that.
This extremely problematic history behind marriage is also why some progressives perceive marriage as an oppressive institution that is impossible to reform, and seek to abolish it entirely.

Ironically the French are very passionate about their cheese made from raw milk.
It’s still classified as somewhat dangerous, and people in high risk categories are advised not to consume it.

Vaporeon was NEVER compatible for breeding with humans at all! Firstly, they are not even in the Human-Like egg group, and most of them are male anyway. Since the 4chan post warped the facts about Vaporeon’s biology, I will now clarify this matter. Hydration only works in the rain, and Water Absorb, which has a more dangerous ability that I’ll elaborate more on soon, doesn’t mean your Vaporeon will turn white after you pull out. I know this because I cleaned sperm bank toilets long ago. Their eel-like skin makes it impossible to grope them too. Also, what the 4chan post failed to mention is that Vaporeon can control water telepathically, meaning it can create Kyogre-like tsunamis at will, and, thanks to moves like Scald, Hydro Pump, Ice Beam, and Hyper Beam, Vaporeon has many more ways to unalive you. It can also learn Detect and Toxic too, so don’t explore that “deep sea cave” for “treasure.” Vaporeon can also force the very same water it can control to enter a person’s orifice until they explode, as well as being able to enter any human orifice, just like the candiru fish, with it eventually reaching any vital organs in the human body and ensuring those organs rupture thanks to its water-based biology. This allows the Vaporeon to exit the newly created corpse easily. Now here is the ghastly truth about Water Absorb: since humans are 65% water, if a Vaporeon was inside a human body, it could absorb the water until the human was nothing more than a withered corpse. Oh, and here’s a fun fact: if a Vaporeon rematerialized while it was inside your urethra, your wiener would instantly explode. As for the moves that Vaporeon can use to make itself horny, the thing is that the rest of Vaporeon’s kin can learn those moves too, with Leafeon, Glaceon, and Umbreon (who has more results on Rule 34 and e621 than Vaporeon) having higher defense stats that would blow Vaporeon out of the water any day of the week. Acid Armor won’t even change that.

Yep, laser toner is literally plastic dust that gets rolled on then baked. That’s why it doesn’t smudge or rub off when wet - it’s plastic.
That’s why there’s so many large warnings to properly recycle toner cartridges.
Tbf as long as the toner doesn’t spill anywhere, the risk is lower than other background sources like tyre dust. Still gives me the hereby jeebies though.

It’s hilarious watching crypto bros singing the praises of the blockchain and its lack of regulation, only experience a scam and desperately try to introduce reforms.
The old adage that regulations are written in blood still applies, and they’re basically speed running the history of financial regulation.
