Ragu just means a meat sauce. Bolognese would be ragu alla bolognese, but there are other ragus which aren’t bolognese.

Most countries in the world are “really metric countries”. And yes we do use the cm a lot for measurements inside the 1-100cm range.

That is the kind of aggressive apatheist mentality which got the US into this situation in the first place.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure it is an American thing. As to why, well, you said it: “bitching about learning anything beyond you might as well be illiterate”.

OP wishes for a world where bigotry against transpeople would be replaced with bigotry against Italians.

You don’t join the Trump team unless you are a self-absorbed asshole, so everybody there should be used to it.

Not at all, Marxists are quite critical of Russia, for example, f

That remains to be seen. Hasn’t happened yet. But perhaps some day?

Yes, that is exactly what you did. Repeating it does also make it funnier.

It is funny because tankie thought is literal positive reaction to anything Russia and China does. Your comment shows it is also pure projection.

Falling into the boomer and whole generational strife fallacy is basically falling for oligarchic propaganda. Intergenerational strife makes people forget that the actual enemy is the oligarchy.

Especially when you live in a roughly compass oriented grid city

I would imagine most of us Europeans would have difficulties with that. “compass oriented grid city” hasn’t really been a thing here since Roman times.

Unfortunately fascists doesn’t really care about words, so that will never happen.

Yes, it is a well known fact that Americans have more people per capita.

Tuna pizza is the best, and Americans are so missing out on it with their bizarre narrowminded gatekeeping of pizzatoppings. Americans have like 3 things that are allowed as pizza toppings, which is so strange considering pizza should just be a vehicle for whatever goodness you want to put on it. Even the otherwise food conservative Italians have figured this out with their pizza al taglio.

Noone has claimed that.

Trump didn’t write this. He wouldn’t know what “atrophied” means.

like the still today infamous moment where Nero played whilst Rome burned.

That didn’t really happen though.

Nero has been pretty much redeemed in modern scholarship. The majority of the stories about him stems from slander written by avowed enemies of the Julio-Claudians (Tacitus and Suetonius in particular), later amplified by Christian writers who carried a special grudge against him. The archaeological evidence suggests he was a capable ruler, who carried out lots of large scale projects that were pretty beneficial overall, and he certainly didn’t set Rome on fire and fiddled while he watched it burn.

Yeah, Americans love to fantasise about their beloved 2nd amendment (regardless of political persuasion), but they have never ever used it for what they (falsely) claim it was intended for.

What is an uber pool? I am imagining some sort of German engineering wonder.
