I’m not talking about a global scale. I’m just talking about the US and how those terms are used here.

I’m not touching that broader conversation about political scales globally.

Here in the US both parties have been running in opposite directions and in most people’s eyes the left has been running faster. Hence the article. One of many that found similar data when polling americans. Most Americans are somewhere in the middle and that is crux of the issue.

My political stances didn’t change. I was firmly left in ~2012 and now you guys call me right wing. Who moved?

See that’s funny because every single left leaning moderate I know (including myself) thinks they were/are way too left and they need to “come back towards center” so to speak.

For people even sorta in the middle both parties appear to be playing a game where they sprint as fast as they can towards extremism and most people aren’t down with that.

They don’t need to try and court moderate Republicans. They need to gain back the moderate lefties they lost over the last 10+ years.

I know that Lemmy has very different views on the topic, but you guys are the extreme left. So of course you find the Democrats trying to go back towards getting moderate vote again as the “wrong move”. Unfortunately you guys (I am speaking broadly at the general political leanings of Lemmy I know you guys arent all far left) are the minority of the total political spectrum these days.

I should probably ask my mom to write down her recipes for posterity sake at some point. I think my sister knows some of them .

I think my mom’s recipe is all in her head. I do know that she tends to add some lemon peel zest into the dumpling mix which gives it just the faintest citrus smell/taste prior to the butter and brown sugar being added at the end.

Bed of luck. Let me know how you like em.

Nothing really.

Some of the greatest racecar drivers built their own cars. Some of the greatest race car drivers literally had no idea how to build a car.

Do your thang and have a good time.

Yes thank you I am aware how stereotypes work. It’s not all of them but it’s enough that people noticed a pattern.

She responded immediately. It’s called “Quark Klöße” according to her.

Looks like the specific ingredients and prep are a family thing, but that’s definitely what it’s based on.

Now I can rest easy. It was gonna drive me crazy if I couldn’t remember the name of the food. Haha

That Hungarian dish looks visually the closest but it was definitely made with wet cottage cheese.

I am absolutely going to butcher the name/spelling but it was called “cvlockclusa” in my house. I’ll ask my mom how it’s spelt.

They absolutely are primarily driven by high earning tech immigrants in my area.

My Asian buddy got one a couple years ago and he was a fucking terrible driver in his Camry (every single panel had dings and scrapes) I cannot fathom the damage he’s been doing with his Tesla.

Obviously.

And yet. I drive past hundreds of Tesla’s every morning and afternoon during my commute. Yesterday I saw 5 white model S in a row in the lane next to me.

Regardless of the whole Elon thing the drivers of Teslas are DOGSHIT.

Some of the fastest production vehicles ever made but the drivers are inept blind morons almost every time. The will pull out in front of you and then not speed up. They will block intersections during traffic because God forbid they miss one light cycle.

I’ve seen people making food with a tray attached to their steering wheel and on their phone using autopilot.

I hate Tesla drivers so much.

I mean all of my family and friends are here.

Other than like great great grandparents that own rural bakeries and are like 107 nobody is in Germany.

If shit really hits the fan we might dip. My little sister is thinking about going there for college but she’s not comfortable with the amount of German she knows. She’s conversationally sufficient but she doesn’t speak it well enough for academic purposes according to my mother.

I have no idea because my mom didn’t teach me or my older brother any German lol.

My mom makes these cottege cheese and bread crumbs dumplings that she boils until they float and then you cut them in half and drizzle melted butter and brown sugar on them.

I could never pronounce or spell the name of the dish but she claims it’s a traditional German dessert.

I tried explain it to chat gpt and it had no clue what the hell I was talking about. It kept telling me about Turkish dishes that have the right ingredients but look nothing like the baseball sized dumplings she would make.

Remember when you could download limewire pro using limewire? Those were the days.

Every other song I downloaded was actually just bill Clinton’s speech: “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.”

I have dual citizenship and I will be staying in America. It ain’t perfect but neither is Germany.

If they botch this game I fear battlefield might truly be dead and gone. That will be a sad day if it happens.

…the people of this sub? I thought that was clear from the context of this conversation but I guess not.

And before you give me some bullshit about everyone in the sub not thinking exactly the same I know that. When I say “you guys” I mean the majority of people on the sub. Those people appear to be in support of publicly damaging someone else’s private property through some twisted mental moral gymnastics. I was referring to those people.

I didn’t put words in your mouth. You literally said “freedom of speech doesn’t mean anything in America anymore”.

And I figured my first comment was pretty clear about where I stand on these things. I am biased against the majority of people on this sub because they are insane.
