I think it's more beer than coke. It's also for like drinking with friends and not standing out if you don't like alcohol but the rest do.

Edit: maybe I should say also for alcohol rather than more for alcohol.

People can remember two things, and lots of people like drama. This is a short laugh at a CEO getting a very small amount of comeuppance. It's not going to make us forget how terrible Trump is or that the government is actively covering up for pedophiles.

We need small breaks of laughter to keep sane sometimes.

You're either missing the point again, or intentionally asking at what point you can stop acknowledging prior contributions to claim it as your own. Let's change it from food.

"At what point can I claim I invented math after it was taught to me?" - as long as it was taught and you didn't discover it completely on your own, never. The work was built on the work of those that came before.

"At what point can I claim I invented computer technology without any assistance from any societies, technologies, or ideas from previous people or previous civilizations?" - If at birth you were left on a deserted island, and by yourself survived, created all tech by yourself, then yes. Otherwise, never.

So while you can say "Apple pie is part of American culture" and be correct, it will also always be true that American culture got parts of its culture from other cultures.

The point isn't ownership(except maybe the land), its the complaint about culture. Food is definitely a part of culture, so these guys are enjoying culture from other lands they're scared of. They also benefit from other cultures, either because of cheaper products/labor, or just what they produce.

I don't feel like ~~doing the math~~ googling it, but I was born Brooklyn, NY, USA. Currently a few miles outside Atlanta, GA, but my journey here takes me up and down the east coast, plus a place further south. I can't really think of NY as home because I've only lived there maybe 1.5 years at most, and 1 of those was as an infant.

At 1 my family moved to GA, at 2 they moved to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (fathers home country), where my first memories are from. At 7 my mom left said father over his repeated cheating, so we moved back to Brooklyn for ~6 months (maybe less) then moved to Virginia until I hit 17 when I graduated highschool. Moved to Florida, lived there for years until 2017 and I moved to GA for a job.

I'm not sure I consider anywhere other than where I am now "home." I have fond memories of each place, but they just feel like phases of my past life, like elementary(well, 4 different elementary), middle, or highschool. I don't consider any of those schools any more of a school I went to than the others, and I generally treat "home" the same. It's just where I live now.

I also don't fully identify with any ethnic group either. I spoke without an accent in the island so never fully integrated, and then in the US I didn't quite have the same lived experience there either.

Since it's an idol and the 10 commandments strictly forbade those, even if it wasn't his torture instrument.

I was thinking 56 is pretty old for people who do ~~stupid~~ I mean, "daredevil" stunts often.

Don't we taste more like pork?

God Awful Movies has done a bunch of rapture movies. Most of them do the clothes in place thing, so that there's something to find for those "left behind." Sometimes they're mysteriously folded.

It's one of Alex Jones and several of his "sources" main apologetic for climate change. They claim the sun is the "main driver for climate change."
