In my country unlimited fiber was $6/mo. Imagine the shock when I moved to the US (also in Mountain View initially). Eventually I got AT&T fiber for "just" $40/month, but now I moved to an area outside their coverage and it's back to Comcast :(
Yeah, they're more like dirigibles than airplanes. But same as airplanes, people have had a hard time believing that something made of metal can float.
I vaguely remember seeing a video that explained that how it's usually explained is wrong. That's what they're probably referring to. But it wasn't that we don't actually know how it works, just that the common simplification is not technically correct (which happens often with these things).
I always wondered about that. Why do states give all their electoral votes to one candidate? If a state has 20 votes and 51% of its population voted X, while 49% voted Y, wouldn't it be fair to give 10 votes to X and 10 votes to Y, instead of 20 to X and nothing for Y?
But that text is not justified and the spaces are not evenly distributed. All spaces are equal except those few double spaces (which are also equal to each-other).
Edit: oh, you're talking about the sample image. I was talking about the mod description below the image.
I grew up in a country with over 90% Christian population in the 80s and 90s. The way the average person in my country would have answered if asked what religions are there would be: Catholic and Orthodox. Any other Christian denomination was clumped under either "sectarians" or "heretics" (and of course non-Christians were just "pagans"). Nobody in my country considered these American churches to count as actual Christians.
And even though I personally grew up as an atheist and spent every single religion class (yeah, that was a mandatory subject in our schools) debating the existence of God with my teachers, I still cringe and resent seeing these people called "Christians".
Some people grew up eating that shit and it provides them with a sense of comfort and familiarity.
That's exactly it. It's confort food for a lot of Americans. I grew up in a different country, where home cooking was the norm and fast food was considered a huge waste of money. I of course tried it when I got my own money, but there was no reason for it to stick with me. So now fast food places don't even register as an option for me if I ever find myself needing to eat from outside the house. But I've seen my friends in the US talk about fast food, their eyes gleaming talking about the Whatever Burger at Whatever Fast Food and the Whatever Taco at Another Fast Food and always get the Whatever Sauce at Yet Another Fast Food. The same way they talk about Twizzlers or Twinkies or other absolute junk that they would never touch if it didn't bring them back to their childhood.
Don't those photos always have a small print disclaimer on them that says the actual product may not look like that or something along those lines? Is that enough to protect them in a lawsuit?
