All stereotypes are bad, but as a mixed black person, I'm frankly more worried about the "black people are violent" stereotype.

Walz called for abolishing it.

That's about as valuable as Trudeau's promise to switch Canada off FPTP, but people are talking.

It's not the only one (there's also Crwth and Pwn)

There's a fairly strong case that stopping Bush might stop 9/11

In my experience, most self-identified centrists, at least in the US, are to the right of what anyone reasonable would actually consider center. And I don't mean that in an "um ackshually the Dems are center right" way either, I mean they're often just Conservatives who don't hate gays (but do hate trans people) or something.

My city's most recent mayoral election is arguably a better argument for FPTP sucking than US presidential elections. The progressives were split between two candidates so we got the moderate, who's pro-car in a city where people move for walkability and is painfully clearly trying to get an inroads to national politics.

It's better than the nearby, bigger city though. SHEESH.

NYC, San Francisco, and Santa Monica did it. A lawsuit Airbnb put forth to to block it in NYC got dismissed even.

We do but it's about more plants and animals than humans.

My school had decent sex ed though (New Jersey)

Team Multiplayer in general. There's nothing fun about getting yelled at and in some cases banned for not playing the meta.

Yeah the PBS hack was LulzSec

Every cuisine except for those of uncontacted tribes is shaped by migration, trade, economics, etc. The ingredients Italian cuisine is most known for are pasta (derived from early Arabic forms of noodles) and tomatoes (South America.) You can say Lasagna was invented in Italy, but you can't say it's the product of cultural purity that Europeans tend to think of their cuisines as.

Only to the degree that the hamburger actually is an original American dish does "pure" cuisine exist. People looking to discredit American food call it German, and while it evolved from Hamburg steak, by most accounts the first people to turn that into a sandwich, and then top it with cheese, lettuce, and tomato instead of gravy were in the United States. Burgers are German only to the degree that Bahn Mi is French.

What kinds of food can 100% be attributed to the US? Fast food? Spray cheese?

None, but the notion of any "pure" and "original" cuisine existing is a myth that normalizes nativism.
