  • It’s a bit like more traditional Anglo and Celtic American foods in that respect, lots of simple shit that tastes good by itself but is generally considered basic or has had certain context stripped with time. A good example is meatloaf which in some reasons was basically whatever meat and possibly eggs you had lying around after a bit thrown together in an loaf. But then you get shit like cheese curds and it’s just deep fried cheese and it’s great.

    Also you can end up with something like my ancestoral food traditions where it’s just soup, cooked meats, and weird increasingly modified trail foods. The trail foods also happen to still be cheap even with modifications, though I guess rice and chili ain’t exactly that complex.


  • Camping advice from a feral Redneck, throw garlic and onion powder in your pack. It’ll come in good if you need a bit of oomph for your food, or you pull a me and over season the unholy amalgam of top ramen noodles and flavoring, chili, mac and cheese, and a hot dog tasted meh but the calories meant I didn’t need to eat for 30 hours so it was fine.


  • Honestly as an experienced multi-generstional Mormon basher I legit forget that part of their fucked up theology. Kinda hard to keep that in frame when the practical shit they tend to do in the practical, what with the theocracy that is Utah, the rampant environmental abuse, the unearned self righteousness so many of them have, and the weird as fuck cultural infantalism that is so common amongst the Utah variant in particular it’s just kinda hard to care about the hypothetical space slavery y’know? Though I will say the further you get from Utah the saner they become, for example for some reason a lot of the younger ones in my area both men and women like Fallout NV, don’t know of Joshua Graham has anything to do with that but yeah.







  • I said nothing of the sort you gishgalloping pissrag. My point is purely down to time frame, the Haitians and Mexicans had simply not won their independence from the European powers when the US claimed its name, nothing more nothing less.

    Probably didn’t help that there was and arguably is no proper name for the Eastern coast of the US even now let alone back then. Sure some sub-regions have terms but there’s no proper noun for them to latch onto for naming convention so they simply went with the only thing they had in common, the fucken continent.

    But I digress. I can tell you want to fight about this or that and bitch about American exceptionallism but you ain’t gonna find it with me. My ancestors were fucked by the feds and I’m fucked by the feds, I wish for nothing more than the destroy this rotting empire I have had the misfortune of being born under. To see it’s rivers bled scarlet, it’s fields salted, and it’s capitol with a big ol’ mushroom cloud above it a genocide in all but ethnicity, culture, or religion. Now how’s bout you find an actual target for your pissfit rather than a hick who thinks your reasoning is shit.


  • The failures and successes of the revolution are kinda irrelevant as to who broke away from the European powers first, Haiti and Mexico came second and third. The politics outside of that have no bearing on the naming convention therein. It really does just come down to dibs at that point.

    Personally I don’t like identifying people by continent since it’s clunky and stupid, similarly I’d rather not label people based on the political entity they live under. Region, ethnicity, culture, and religion is all fine in my opinion since those all have characteristics that can be identified rather than whatever shit stained flag happens to be flying at any time. For example I am a Californian and more specifically an Inland Imperial, but I will rarely if ever identify with the US outside of entirely practical reasons since quite frankly I want to see the USA reduced to the same category as the HRE that is to say dead.

    Oh I entirely agree on the naming thing, it’s fucken stupid. There’s a Victoria 2 mod called Divergence of Darkness that does that, South America is called Ameriga (America) while I believe North America is called Arcadia or some shit can’t remember. Personally I wish a convention could be done by the various North American states to find a better fucken name, personally I’m a fan of Appalachia-Laruntine, or however you spell that second word because I’m lazy.
