Wait, is congress trying to dictate state and local tax policy? Why? And how would that be allowed. They have power over federal taxes and interstate commerce, not internal tax policies for each state.

I disagree pretty hard, particularly when the history in question is the first contact between cultures. It is European American history as much as Native American history. It is both of their story to tell. There is obviously a difference in power dynamics between those two parties, but to categorize the entirety of media exhibiting the history wherein those cultures contacted as exploitative or appropriation, just makes no sense. And discouraging that sort of media just lends to even more ignorance than we already have.

Inaccurate, whitewashed, insensetive, malicious, or otherwise disrespectful depictions of cultures and history are a problem. But accurate depictions of history, particularly of or involving your own culture (though I would argue that it doesn't matter the culture if it is accurate and reapectful), are educational, representative, and not something to discourage. And they are not exploitative unless made at the expense of someone else.

Yea, but I dont think that that was for cultural appropriation, but historically inaccuracy as you said and cultural insensitivity.

I want to argue against it but I'm too fat to dispute it.

On the one hand, I hate onions. So I totally get it. I wish I could sue every time someone sticks one in my food as a disgusting surprise too.

On the other hand, if you have a food allergy, that is different than just requesting "no onion" on your burger. They have to take steps to prevent cross contamination. It is a whole thing, and he should know that if he is really that allergic. He would be having this issue all the time becuase (as I well know and lament as an onion hater) onions are in a ton of foods everywhere you go.

They would only be negligent and liable if he told them that he was allergic and they claimed to have taken precautions to prevent exposure of his food. If he just asked for no onions and had an allergic reaction because they messed up his order like every fast food restaurant in the world does sometimes, that is not gross negligence, that is a standard accident.

Carrots as sweetner is sad...

What in the poverty is "nooch"? Also, peanuts have too much flavor and spinach too little compared to their counterparts. I can't even imagine what that tasted like. Along with the rest that just sounds like sour garlic peanut butter. No thank you.

It says 10 calories per serving! What gives!?

Astarion: That's how they do pants!!! First they go up one side, they move it over. Then they go up the other side they move it back. Then then they go up the rear. Right, Wyll?

Wyll: Yes, yes it is... in PRISON!!
