  • Which French dishes?

    The best I can think of are actually Italian, Swiss or English dishes co-opted by the French and the rest are extremely average, but French food culture is very good which a lot of people seem to confuse with the actual dishes being good

    Valid point on Cajun and Jamaican though

  • In Portuguese (as spoken in Portugal, Brazil, USA, Japan, Ghana, wherever) they're an americano/a but in English (as spoken in USA, UK, Brazil, Portugal, Nepal, wherever) they're South American but not American because it's a linguistic difference rather than a geographical/cultural one

  • Because they're the only country with America in their name whereas United States is shared by Mexico

    Also in English there's a distinction between North and South America, with the supercontinent being referred to as "The Americas", so America isn't really ambiguous, they're also geologically and environmentally distinct enough that "The Americas" isn't used so much and "New World" is often more relevant to include Australia as another somewhat culturally similar sparsely populated former colonial area.

  • Exactly, money card trumps everything, with fame card and class card a close second and third; race is unfortunately still powerful but you really think Obama or Oprah are getting trumped in much of anything by a white family from detroit who are living below the poverty line?

  • Yeah true, plus I bought my a770 at pretty much half price during the whole driver issues and so eventually got a 3070 performing card for like $250, which is an insane deal for me but no way intel made anything on it after all the rnd and production costs

    The main reason Intel can't compete is the fact CUDA is both proprietary and the industry standard, if you want to use a library you have to translate it yourself which is kind of inconvenient and no datacentre is going to go for that

  • High school depends, if you're bullied or don't work well in that setting or feel under too much social pressure to do what's cool then it's borderline torture, otherwise sure it's great

  • If it's a grave of someone in living memory, then sure, it's grave robbing, but even if someone knows it's their 224x great grandparent then if there's no memory either directly or even via oral history then it's definitely archaeology

    There's a very blury line somewhere between the two, but it's up to whoever shouts loudest or digs quietest to define that

  • The point of sanctions is to make it harder to run a country, part of that is making the citizens angry with the government

    They don't target Russians outside of Russia, and do target non-Russians in Russia, because they're meant to actually be somewhat effective rather than just inciting hate

  • Sure, but people have memory and if you block people who aren't even going to contribute to the running costs of the site via the channels they provide, never mind profit, then from the site owners perspective it's pretty great if you recognise it as a site you don't want to visit as you likely won't come back

  • The website doesn't really care; they have hosting costs so if you're not paying with money or by accepting ads then to them you're worse than not visiting at all as you consume resources, so it's good if you leave?
