I literally listed out several problems, all which are homegrown problems. Nor did I ever deny the existence of foreign influence. But sure, that’s just a “single problem.” Technically you’re the one who acted like your single problem was the most important.

Salty, spicy, sweet.

Step it up one more time with some red onions, red bell pepper, and pepperoncinis. Sometimes I also like hot Italian sausage in that mix, too.

(It is to be noted I make pizza at home, so I go all out and don’t stop at two toppings. I’m bad at baking so I use this super simple dough recipe.)

Shari’s in particular got hit hard in the last six months.

Lots of them shutting down all over the northwest, where they’ve been a staple as long as I can remember.

I mean… this piece is literally Roman and made in Italy and they found it in Nero’s palace. The technique didn’t stay in Egypt.

So this specific piece of Egyptian Blue is Roman.

I’m just saying like all things American, it’s a very, very Amerocentric view of the world, where we’re the most important and need to be destabilized.

We wrecked our own soft power with the Iraq War and Snowden leaks. No foreign actors forced our hands. Iraq War was just plain stupid and Snowden leaked because his big boss was lying to congress (and has never been punished for it).

Foreign influence kicked up after that because we created an opening with our own fucking hubris by destroying international credibility as well as credibility at home with our own citizens.

Cops were already practicing Killology and being a violent problem in US communities long before the Iraq War and the death of US soft power. (EDIT: In point of fact, the Iraq War was when the cops started to get all that disused military equipment, too. No foreign entity forced that, Bush did. Cops generally didn’t have APCs at local departments in the '90’s)

Where can I find a pineapple pizza rock?

Dude as much as there is an amount of foreign interference, I have lived in the USA for over forty years and the people who live here have genuinely always been this fucking dumb so blaming it on the “spicy hot cold war” sounds to me like not being willing to take responsibility for the massive amount of absolutely dumbfuck motherfuckers in the USA.

No, sorry, they’re real, and we don’t get to pretend that they’ve just been subject to a foreign influence campaign.

Further, what about the non-foreign influence campaigns like FOX News, One America News Network, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and Xitter? Those are totally okay because they’re not foreign? Our own influence campaigns are fine?

And yes, I’m way more worried about people who have the State backing them when it comes to owning guns and being able to violently assault citizens than a fucking foreign influence campaign. Because they’re actually here and have actually already been causing massive damage to US social cohesion for fucking decades. Just look up Killology. A foreign influence campaign didn’t create Killology, a fucking psychopath ex-military American created it.

So let’s go over once again:

1. Americans are genuinely that fucking dumb.
2. Our corporations do the same fucking shit to us and they don’t even come from a foreign country, they’re just worried about money.
3. The cops have been a violent occupying force who abuse the citizenry and have been for a long fucking time, arguably always.

This just sounds too much like blaming it on everything but our own fucking real homegrown problems.

Maybe it would be if every dirtbag cop in the country wasn’t on their side.

I’m way more worried about the cops becoming Brownshirts than the military.

I guess that depends on how you read it. It doesn’t read to me like it’s giving credit to Rome, but rather just expressing how widely used bright colors were during Rome’s imperial era. Romans used Egyptian Blue extensively, whether or not they invented it, which is how the tagline reads to me personally.

The discovery of this ancient synthetic pigment highlights the impressive artistry of Rome’s imperial era.

Emphasis mine. That’s the part that reads to me like it isn’t claiming credit for Egyptian Blue as much as it is crediting the specific Roman era with wide use of Egyptian Blue in it’s, in the author’s words, impressive artistry.

I’d wager this isn’t just Denver that restaurants are struggling in.

Before COVID restauranting was already a hard fucking business to stay afloat in the US.

It’s been a fucking bloodbath in restaurants all over ever since COVID. I know chefs who just can’t find a fucking job because half the places have shut down.

Hittin them Windows users with the Wololo

Interesting, because their inability to identify it could easily make them… not reputable.

can I for example upgrade the OS?

I mean, technically, sure.

But what I suspect you’re really asking is “has someone else done the legwork to create a stable build of a modern version of android for what is probably a very underpowered device since it’s in a vehicle.”

The reality is you would probably have to dig into the hardware, find appropriate drivers, and then dig into the AOSP and build a stable Android build for it from there. And depending on it’s age, you might only be able to upgrade it to a certain point and not all the way to current Android. (For example, LineageOS no longer directly supports Google Nexus devices because their hardware is simply too old to work with the new versions of Android)

Because sadly, the likelihood of someone already having done it for an obscure vehicle head unit is less likely than, say, a flagship phone that tons of people own. It’s not impossible, someone may have already done the work, but I’d wager on that not being the case, because I’ve had just slightly unpopular phones that there are no LineageOS builds for, for example.
