This is true, what with tariffs and export controls. But, here’s a little secret from someone who grew up here: there’s no one acceptable cheese type. Some like American cheese (the closest you’ll get outside of the US is probably semi-soft muenster or young white cheddar; ‘American cheese’ is just a form of buttermilk-rich mild white cheddar), some like fresh provolone, some like the trashy stuff because it forms more of a sauce that forms a better coating of fat on your tongue.

They’re actually all fine. The real secret is that you only use either rib eye or chuck, chip it extremely fine (you should be able to see light through a chip), and then fry it in a steel or iron pan with white onions and a dab of a flavorless seed oil, like corn or canola. Start it over low heat, and using a flat metal flipper (NOT a spatula. Look it up. There’s a difference), keep chopping that beef and onion mix until it forms thin sheets. Drop a slice (or dab) of cheese on top, and let it melt and seal the pan to steam the beef.

Then, chop it a couple more times. Place your flat flipper on the pan and let it very hot. Drop another slice or dab of cheese on it, then run it through the center of a V-split long roll. Here, our authentic rolls are yeast-risen with a tougher crust that flakes on the top layer, a bit like filoh dough. A baguette would be too firm. You want a soft roll that can be split down the longways. Then, put your chipped beef + cheese + onion mash into the roll, and bam, you’re right there at 2am on South Street listening to some rich kid scream-talk about how he wants someone to date him to walk into Condom Kingdom.

Listen I’m from here, I get it, but damn just video chat me I’ll teach you how to cook a good one at home for free! It’s not hard!

My dad worked for a German company and he got laid off following this event. I am positive that this company is going to withdraw from the US market entirely over the next 6 months. Like, I doubt that even CEOs feel safe entering the country for official business at this point.

This one raid may have blown it for basically all foreign investment. It is so bizarre to just, like, READ it on a website, knowing that this ONE event is going to be the first domino to fall on a very dark chapter ahead. :/ I feel like I’m in the beginning credits montage of a zombie movie.

Bruh, if any of you are given an ultimatum, go to the US for work, or be fired, just quit your job. Don’t come here, PLEASE. I couldn’t believe how many Canadians I saw down at the Jersey Shore this summer. Don’t risk it, people, take a cruise for Christ’s sake.

He had blood on his ear, too

Smart! I occasionally run into Chinese tourists over here at Independence Hall (where the country was founded), and every single time I pass I am like, “good lord, you all put your lives in your hands for Philly?”

After watching the Nepali youth flip the fucking country upside down and elect their new prime minister using a Discord poll, I grow more confident every day that we will see a new Constitution in our lifetime.

As opposed to Israel which considered Palestinians just Arab colonizers and them just the righteous people who is going back to their land so they want them either expulsed to Egypt and other countries or kill them

??? This is literally the official position of the Russian Federation — they consider Ukrainians colonizers who unjustly rebelled and stole Russian land, assets, and production. Putin does not want to assimilate Ukrainians; the intention is total extermination and replacement with ethnic Russians, and always has been.

I am not here to debate which genocide is worse, because plainly, Palestinians are suffering yawning abuses that would make even Mussolini blush. I am just saying that Palestine is not the only active genocide happening in the world right now. Ukraine can fight back; Palestine cannot. That is plainly on a different level. There’s no need to imply I am an idiot just because I pay attention to other stuff happening in parts of the world that don’t report in English.

Palestine is the only place where there is a war of extemination right now

Listen, I am about as active as any non-Israeli or non-Palestinian can be in anti-genocide discourse, but you’re smoking crack if you think that Russia’s intentions for Ukraine are to simply absorb their government and people. Russians by and by large do not believe Ukrainian culture is a thing, and in fact, have been breaking chunks off from their culture and absorbing it as their own since Moscow was founded by a couple of guys who got lost in the woods.

Russia’s goal is absolute cultural annihilation, and their actions have fit the standard definition of genocide since 2022.

I have long been of the opinion that if you read newspaper headlines like a WWF announcer, it really is indiscernible.

PRO-PALESTINE ACTORS ABSOLUTELY SLAM APARTHEID CLYDE, TAKING A SIXTY FOOT PLUNGE OFF OF HELL IN A CELL AND DIRECTLY ONTO AN ANNOUNCERS’ TABLE!!! BAWGAWD, THAT’S TRUMP’S THEME MUSIC

Nah, as someone who gave an honest, college try at making use of OneDrive, I maintain its fate vis a vie the rusty hook.

Sure, but, aren’t we on the Fedi? Or, you mean, this specific cat is posted on bsky?

A paycheck is a paycheck. Lots of us exchange our ego for daily bread — we have a club and everything. We meet every day after work at your local bar.

Oh yeah. Don’t you guys also do murder scene remediation?

Ah, good thing those are cheap materials, then!

Goo in, goo out.
