Mark my words, it’s going to happen again with “objectively”. I see stuff like this constantly:

This art piece is objectively good

That’s not what’s objectively means?

That goes for the main characters and the background characters imo. The second movie did a lot better in regard to showing off the different cultures but the first one just felt so…empty. People just did things and had things done to them, and I didn’t understand why I was supposed to care about any of them.

Damn you’re carrying that over from the other thread? I don’t even necessarily disagree but that’s petty af

Dang, your parents had you lie about your age? I know that my parents lied about mine sometimes (which was easy cause I was a tiny kid), but they didn’t even want me to know, let alone take part.

🤷 I’m also American and grew up on pasta, and while you’re dead on about the sauce and unsalted pasta water, most people in my experience know that al Dente means “firm to the bite” and cook pasta properly enough, often enough that when it’s not I’d just assume it was an accident.

That’s wild, I only got hit once months ago. She must really have the hots for you.*wink wink *nudge nudge

Italian recipes tend to let the quality of the produce do the talking. There’s no making cheap stuff work by seasoning the hell out of it, so it has to be quality fresh stuff. Fresh herbs, good cheese, quality tomatoes, etc.

the rest of the world isn’t your mother

Nah but it’s way closer than it should be

Zing!

Starting with the pasta itself (not how it’s prepared), they use different ingredients. Italian pasta is usually made from high quality duram wheat, whereas American made pastas use a variety of flours, and usually includes eggs (rare with Italian pasta), which results in a softer cooked product. That leads to cooking differences, where Italians prefer firmer texture (al dente), whereas Americans tend to have it softer.

How many times have you had pasta in America?You have some good points with the rest of your comment but this paragraph makes sound like either someone over overcooked your pasta or incorrectly used egg noodles, which are totally different and for different dishes though they look the same at a glance. I would only use egg noodles in soups and stroganoff. I just looked through all the pasta I have now, purchased from Walmart, Costco, and all the normie places: none of it has eggs, a lot of it contains durum wheat/semolina flour, and a majority of it is 100% durum. Some of it uses the phrase “al Dente” on the box, and I can tell you with good confidence that that is one of the few Italian phrases that American non-italians will know.

If you really wanna be pedantic, almost everything is a knocknockoff of something

I’m pretty sure bishops had a list of questions that they had to ask everyone in the 1-on-1 meetings. Concerning porn I distinctly remember

Have you ever watched porn?

And

When was the last time you watched porn?

What threw me off though was even though I answered “no” to the first (I was lying of course, I straight jork it), they still asked the second with no hesitation. I’m saying “they” because I got the same porn questions from multiple bishops, like at least 3. I’m pretty certain it’s actual church policy. It’s basically involuntary confessions now that I think about it, fuckin weird. One straight up asked me if I was into his daughter though, pretty sure that wasn’t in the script haha.

It’s not great but ‘bad car names’ is a whole genre, one that vw in particular excels at. These are the guys that brought you the “Tiguan”. Look it up, that’s not some fancy Spanish word or something, they literally just jammed the words “tiger” and “iguana” together and thought that it’d be the perfect name for their new mom-car.

It’s so awesome seeing all these new people here bailing from reddit. Welcome!
