But they're not Irish or Cuban or Italian.
They're Americans.
I think there's a big difference between knowing your family's history and drawing an identity from it.
Genetically, you're human. There's no genetic difference between polish and Irish.
I don't care about small talk, but I engage in it as a social custom.
And I don't try to pretend I'm superior to others for not caring about it.
We're all Ethiopian
As far as white/Caucasian Americans, I'd bet money it's Germanic ancestry.
I recall reading that at one point in the 19th century, 52% of American newspapers were printed in German. And, you still find towns with German names from coast to coast. Anaheim California, Hamburg Minnesota, Berlin New Hampshire.
If you're near Eastern Indiana, check out Oldenburg.
But none of their stans are clicking on articles about what they're wearing unlike Katie here.
The paparazzi version of Zuck or Jobs is writing an article about some stupid thing they do, even potentially damaging behavior, and convincing the reader it's evidence of brilliance.
They wear the same shit because they have no fashion sense. But it's been spun as "I can't waste any precious brain power on mundane decisions" which is such a load of BS. What it's actually demonstrating is they're both dunces, incapable of picking up basic social skills, unable to engage in basic social behavior, uninterested in exploring something simply for the sake of relating to others.
There's all sorts of conclusions to draw.
But nope, the things you or you do daily well enough by glancing at others, and checking out a store or two is IS JUST TOO MENTALLY TAXING AND WASTING THEIR BRAIN JUICE
Just because same sex couples don't birth kids doesn't mean we'll stop trying.
Anything is possible through Jesus.
When is this magical time you think when everyone used cash the majority of the time?
Because I'm 45 years old and it wasn't in my adult life. I've had a debt card to my savings/checking since I was 15 years old. And I've had credit cards since I was 19.
Half my friends bought their first homes right after the 2007 crash because mortgages were cheaper than rent. I've financed 4 vehicles. I currently have a mortgage.
I've rarely used cash for anything in my life other than "vice/sin" (drugs, strip clubs) purchases in order to keep them more private.
I don't think your comment has any truth to it at all. Nobody's been relying on cash to get them through most of their purchases since cheques became universal in the early 80's.

Neo liberal / laissez-faire applies to both major parties in the USA.
Although, it's certainly becoming less so with the GOP than the Democrats. IE: bailouts for farmers affected by their own tariffs, mass deportations which will affect business, etc.
What if you showed us evidence for that actually working in any meaningful sense, in order to stop people enabling fascists?
For sure.
It seems like what's missing in modern remakes is a willingness to try something new and in the present context. But I have a hunch it's less so film makers wanting to and more so studios wanting a guarantee on return.
Good art tends not to work that way. It's always going to involve risk.
I've had trouble streaming Plex in the bedroom, 4K content only. Lot's of buffering/stutters.
I still haven't got around to networking the bedroom to Ethernet, just WiFi.
Out of curiosity I opened VLC on the bedroom Nvidia Shield, and there's an option to access devices on the local network, including my NAS. Opened the file directly and it only buffered once, slowed for about a minute (the audio sounded like my cat playing with my turntable lol) but then it caught up in 30 sec or so and streamed flawlessly after.
Not sure why it worked better, but figured I'd post here as a hack for others in similar situations.
