I'm a run of the mill American citizen, 4 generations back my family has been American. No birth weirdness or dual citizenship or anything. Decided to live overseas after uni to broaden my horizons, and last time I came back home for the holidays I was grilled on my americanness by customs... They almost didn't let me in because they thought I was suspicious, and my passport didn't seem right. They even said "how can you be American if you're a resident of (country)?" I think I got the same line as this article too, the whole no way to prove I'm American (despite my passport being in their hands). Theres a gatekeeping mentality that I suspect is rampant in all levels of government, and I just wonder how many good people who deserve to be here are barred from a normal life in the US because of it

Way to read and respond to anything I said. Just double down on your shittiness instead, surely that'll win people over.

I'm a long term vegetarian/almost vegan, and I have to say this vegan proselytizing shit is fucking insufferable and is why everyone else hates us. If you're the one who made the video, the way you talk to her is so condescending and smarmy I'm surprised this poor girl didn't just leave. The points you make are also full of entitlement and are just straight up wrong at certain points. I feel bad for her being subjected to this.

Honestly, I'm glad I chose to stop eating meat without "activists" like you around me because if I were still eating meat and you tried something like this on me, I'd dig aaalll the way in on my choice to eat meat because of you. You're doing far more harm than you realize.

Best of luck! It really sucks, and the worst part is it's hard to notice at first, and easily written off as working too much or something until you realize you're doing it to yourself. I've heard good things about pea protein but sadly it's not really a thing in my country yet so I haven't had a chance to try it.

Anyway, whey powder can be pretty cheap these days (they have cheese so dairy isn't a restriction), and there are enough duplicates in this picture that they could cut a couple things and keep the same price point if the budget is tight.

Take it from someone who knows vegetarian eating, this is a dangerously low amount of protein, and no those cheese slices do not cover it. I'd wager your daily protein macro is a single digit percentage (most sources suggest around 15-35% depending on exercise and lifestyle and all that). If this haul is your entire diet for the week and you're not leaving out stuff you already have at home or something, I would strongly advise looking for more protein dense foods before protein deficiency starts to affect your well being. I've been there and it's really not good.

The current state of capitalism will ensure the second line never sees the light of day

Yeah lemme get a hit of what you're smoking... I would argue modern games have a heavy over saturation of ridiculously colorful games. Look at the popular titles of like every major genre within the last few years and tell me that's not the case.

Shooters- Fortnite, Valorant, Apex, The finals, Splatoon (cod being the only major shooter with a drab palette)

Car/Racing- Mario kart, Forza, rocket league, that one game everyone overlays on TikTok videos with the crazy winding tracks

Fighting- Street fighter, Tekken, MK, Smash, Guilty gear (all very colorful or at least significantly more colorful than the previous iterations)

Indies- Hades, hollow knight, cult of the lamb, pizza tower, stardew valley, undertale, subnautica, vampire survivors, ori

Pandemic hits everyone obsessed over, among us and fall guys.

Marvel snap is the biggest entry into the card game market, which has been dominated by none other than Hearthstone for a while now.

The only genre I can think of that doesn't have an excess of color is rpg's, with the new Zeldas, baldur's gate 3, starfield, elden ring, last of us, etc being a bit neutral, (still not dull by any means) but even with that being said things like spider man, palworld, and cyberpunk exist.

Anyway, yeah this list got a lot longer than I planned but I think it illustrates my point.

TLDW: he still hasn't figured what a grilled cheese is

A lot of countries have tax treaties with each other as long as they're in good standing with each other, so that people only need to pay tax in one country (in the case where one maintains citizenship in one country while working in another). Unless you're making a shit ton of money to the point you're subject to different rules, it's highly unlikely you'll be double taxed

Beware of spiders though

I've talked about it with people who are not rich themselves but who are around the mega rich because of their jobs... Apparently at a certain point, "things" lose their meaning and experiences become their new materialism. Hence why so many rich people get caught up in depraved shit that makes it on the news, because theyre down the rabbit hole of collecting wild experiences as opposed to cars or jewelry or whatever other entry level rich person stuff. Flexing becomes more about "have you been to x, have you done y" etc

So... Do you often just stand in the middle of rooms while looking at your phone? That's pretty damn weird not gonna lie
