Apple didn’t invent the word “app,” but I do think they pushed it because it was adjacent to the company’s name.

Who has ever called a batch file an app

At bare minimum they should also demand that Trump stops talking about or making plans on annexing Greenland.

Walz called for abolishing it.

That’s about as valuable as Trudeau’s promise to switch Canada off FPTP, but people are talking.

We do but it’s about more plants and animals than humans.

My school had decent sex ed though (New Jersey)

Every cuisine except for those of uncontacted tribes is shaped by migration, trade, economics, etc. The ingredients Italian cuisine is most known for are pasta (derived from early Arabic forms of noodles) and tomatoes (South America.) You can say Lasagna was invented in Italy, but you can’t say it’s the product of cultural purity that Europeans tend to think of their cuisines as.

Only to the degree that the hamburger actually is an original American dish does “pure” cuisine exist. People looking to discredit American food call it German, and while it evolved from Hamburg steak, by most accounts the first people to turn that into a sandwich, and then top it with cheese, lettuce, and tomato instead of gravy were in the United States. Burgers are German only to the degree that Bahn Mi is French.

What kinds of food can 100% be attributed to the US? Fast food? Spray cheese?

None, but the notion of any “pure” and “original” cuisine existing is a myth that normalizes nativism.

When Harris first came on the scene I thought to myself that the election became a battle between Reagan nostalgia and Obama nostalgia. And I cannot blame any American for feeling Obama nostalgia because I feel Obama nostalgia, but reliance on nostalgia blinds us to new ideas and current issues.

Nothing will be done until the politicians can no longer ignore end FPTP movements.

According to polling most Americans support stricter gun control measures but not a ban. As usual, it’s the Electoral College and FPTP (IMO, no country with either should be listed as a full democracy. Not USA, not UK, and not Canada.) Still, it is true that the gun issue is too often presented as binary (but I’d actually say this is just as common with foreigners arguing for gun bans as it is with Americans arguing against it.)

No.

I’m a zoomed so I can confirm you completely failed to bring up any media relevant to Gen Z, and Star Trek TOS and Ali are closer than Clint Eastwood, John Wayne, and Bond.

I’ll be the first person to explain how the math on third party candidates doesn’t work out, but I’m really not into this “blocking them from the ballot” thing. Whether it’s the Dems with Cornell West and the Green Party or the Republicans with the Libertarians and RFK Jr.

Without exception, people who insist on voting third party ignore the real solution. You need to organize to end FPTP. Green Party, Libertarian, etc. will never matter at any level higher than local otherwise.

Does she think the government is Xbox Live?

I think the Ukraine situation does more to increase the favorability of military spending than anything with China.

But mostly I think America being late to intervene in WWII still hangs over the American public’s heads (to me it would seem this is the point when anti-interventionism stopped being the norm.)

I think Biden should step down as president too. I don’t think it looks right for them to be saying Biden isn’t fit to run but is fit to fill the remainder of his term.

please tell me this is a joke

This isn’t a far-left outlet.

(My opinion is that the best plan against fascism is the one someone is actually going to try and do, and so far American far-leftists haven’t responded to fascism in the way they claim is necessary to defeat it.)

Poll headlines are fucking meaningless. Each day twenty of them with completely different and contradictory conclusions come out.

It’s a gesture that ultimately doesn’t mean much. It’s basically a symbol that means “vaguely populist sentiment.”
