First of all I wasn't comparing. 2nd of all it is incredibly stupid to argue that American machismo doesn't exist. Compared to fucking what?
This is not optimism. It's more irreverence. Which is honestly something we need more of these days. Everyone's so goddamn serious.
It's rooted in the tradition of American machismo and braggadocio. Hyperbole is a huge part of the American oral tradition. You go to any small town in the Southern US and the old timers will have some tall tales that beggar belief and they will tell them too you as if it were the gospel with no winks or nods.
I think Devil Went Down to Georgia is supposed to be viewed as a boast by Johnny himself. "I'm a really good fiddle player." "Oh yeah?" "Yeah, this one time I beat the Devil himself." "I told you once you sonofabitch, I'm the best there's ever been."
Well if you're religious. There's a whole class of individuals in the South that get off on showing the religious just how little they care for the tenets of Christianity. In addition to playing a mean fiddle, Johnny probably swears like a sailor and has extramarital sex whenever he can.
The song came out in 1979. The Southern Rebel was a big concept in the culture.
It's always stupid to take screwball incidents like this and extrapolate them as part of a bigger societal issue. Very reactionary thinking.
Cool, thanks for the guide.
I already have Tuta. I used to have Skiff and that allowed you to create unlimited aliases with their domain. Alas, it was never meant to last as they were always owned by venture capital.
I need to figure out how to do that.
They literally gave over user information. That is what literal means. What their marketing claims is not literal.
I wish Tuta supported throwaway email addresses. If it did it would be nearly perfect.
Non-profits are just for-profits for management. They make things slightly more transparent. That's about it.
Current AI is just going to be used to further disenfranchise citizens from reality. It's going to be used to spread propaganda and create noise so that you can't tell what is true and what is not anymore.
We already see people like Elon using it in this way.
Yes, the fat macro is way out of balance there at over half the caloric intake. It explains why Americans are known for being sedentary. That much of your calories coming from fat has got to make you lethargic. And then the carbs are all refined and high glycemic index, so you are mixing that with insulin spikes and crashes. Not enough protein so their muscles are underfed and fatigued. It all makes sense.
Well that's pretty much only true at McDonald's because of their immense market share. Most other places still serving large patties and large burgers. Carl's Jr., Wendy's, etc. God knows what Burger King is doing, but I think the Whoppers are still pretty big. Disgusting, but big.
A burger with high quality ingredients is not the worst thing you can eat. The worst part about it will be the saturated fat from the red meat.
Yeah and a combo at Five Guys is $25 bucks so it's not like a good cheeseburger is even accessible to most people anymore.
Most of the food comes from fast food along stroads. It is a core part of the problem. The education system is probably the root, but I wouldn't expect a tourist to understand that.
