you cant be making this shit up.

the government thugs are trying everything to falsify the votes.

cesko implemented new electronic ballot machines so most of the thugs have gone to the more remote regions where the new machines couldn't be placed, to falsify votes.

and the few that stayed in the city figured out a way to cheat the new machines.

so cool to find hetalia fans from different countries! Where in Italy are you from? What headcanons do you have about the boys? And what human names do you use for them? I’m so curious!

Hi!

Technically I’m from Lombardy, but I’m from a town that’s riiiight on the border of Emilia-Romagna. So in terms of culture (and dialect), I have more in common with the nearby Emilian city than Milano. But I don’t live in Italy for a majority of the year, I actually live in France!

Anyways onto the more interesting stuff- some thoughts/headcanons on their names:

I use “Romano” and “Feliciano” for the twins’ human names! Both of these names originate from their childhoods

As was customary in Ancient Rome, Romano, being the eldest son (though still a twin ofc) would have gotten the same name as his father. Like Rome, his name was Publius Romilius Romanus (+ any agnomen or nickname that the people around him would use). As time went on, Romano stuck to his cognomen and it soon turned into “Romano”.

Feliciano’s childhood name was Gaius Romilius Felix, and over time Felix turned into Feliciano.

I like to think the twins use each other’s old, Roman names when they’re being petty with each other ebchbsd

A small tangent, but still related to names- in a lot of my human AUs Rome is technically “Romano Sr.” But I imagine his friends gave him the nickname Romolo (or Romulus, for the bit) and it’s stuck for years.

None of the brothers, Seborga included, have a middle name.

For modern last names, I currently use De Cesare but I’m still sorta on the fence about it? I do like it, but I wonder sometimes if I should go with something else. Also, I think the twins had different surnames pre-unification. I still haven’t decided on what they’d be, though.

There’s a lot more I could’ve gone into, especially with Roman naming conventions, their ancient/childhood names, etc. but I think I’ll leave that for a future post if people are interested in knowing more :o

I really do wanna share other headcanons but I’m sorta blanking rn because the question is very general 😅 If you or anyone else want me to talk about specific headcanons (pets, relationships, sillier things, historical stuff, etc. etc.) feel free to ask! Don’t be shy, I love talking about these idiots

there's this one Peruvian dish that i love and have, since getting the recipe, made like 3 different times. it's called caucau (google says it's usually made with tripe but the recipe I use just has chicken and potatoes in it) and it's awesome

HOWEVER

I keep fucking up the spices by accident and it's like nOOOOOO

I WANT TO MAKE THIS ACTUAL DISH

the first time I made it was okay, but it was also. the first time I ever made it, some of the things were bound to be imperfect and I'm okay with that

The second time I forgot to add the fucking cumin. Aka the spice that gives the most flavour to the entire dish. I took it out of the cupboard, put it on the table, then forgot to put it in. At least once I realized that was why the fucker tasted so bland i was able convince my friends to stop making fun of me for being white as hell SDKLFHSDLKJH

and the third time. fucking hell. For one, I forgot to specify which hot pepper I needed to my dad while he was grocery shopping and ended up with jalapeños rather than habaneros, which while not being THAT big of a deal is a significant spice level difference. And then- The spice you need to put the fucking most of in is turmeric. Just a whole lotta turmeric, gives a bunch of colour, it's great. In our spice cabinet, my family keeps turmeric in a large container with a screw off lid. In my rush of "oh fuck i forgot to take out the spices beforehand and I can't let the chicken overcook where the fuck is the turmeric", i grabbed the first large, bright yellow, screw off top thing of spices i could see

It was not turmeric. It was Jamaican curry powder. Which did taste great in the end, especially when I later added in at least a bit of turmeric once I realized my mistake (the turmeric was hidden at the back of the cabinet so I didn't see that there was two until way later)

but like. for FUCKS sake I can't be experimenting with recipes before i even get the recipe made correctly. One day. One day I'll get it right LKSDJHFDSLKJHKLH

Honestly, I agree with this post. I'm one of the most pale mixed peole you'll ever meet (hell, my rosacea from my mum's side makes me look even whiter), and "despite" being a trans dude/non-binary I enjoy dressing up in outfits most would perceive me as a girl for.

To add to this post: -Asia, being the largest damn continent on the planet, is gonna have some light-skinned people. Hell, just go to Turkey and you'll see what I mean. -Also take into consideration that lots of Africans can "pass as white". -Also also take into consideration skin conditions like vitiligo and albinism. -Ethnic features aren't just melanin, they can be anything from nose shape to hair texture/thickness. -Also. WPPOC can still have racial trauma. They can still have their culture erased, and it's easier since they already "look white". -The Caucaus region is part of Asia. So please, stop referring to white people as "caucasian" and just say "white", please (I say this as someone with caucasian heritage).

Now for trans stuff: -Your gender is not determined on appearance. It's how *you* feel, and no one can tell you how to dress or how to look. So go ahead. Grow out a big-ass mustache, wear skirts, have a goatee, use a "traditionally feminine/masculine" name, weightlift, go to prom in a ball gown, do whatever you want. Gender is a psychosocial construct, and we're all living on a floating rock in the vastness of space. Who cares if you wear a little extra fabric? Go for it!

I want to talk about the terms White, Straight and Cis passing privilage... And how they're kind of inaccurate to the average passing persons experience.

It is not a privilege to have to shove down, hide, or escape a part of your identity for your well being and safety. It is also not a privilege to have people ignore oart of your identity for their comfortability. The only privilege is when people know and respect your identity unfaulteringly.

Mixed folks who have lighter skin or straightened hair aren't experiencing privilege. They're experiencing white people projecting whiteness and erasing their color. That is hurtful and any advantages are quickly lost if you dare argue with them on how they see you. It's also lost if you stand up for fellow poc or the issues their community faces.

Bisexuals who are having either Straight and Gay people assign them heterosexual even though many preach "don't assume or force anyone to out themselves." It's not a privilege I imagine tl be told that you look straight when you aren't. I as a masc butch I don't feel validated being called straight why would a bisexual?? Also with the ammount of families who project their want for you to be with the opposite sex/gender even after you come out is a major fucking loss actually.

Being cis passing means shit comments, the risk of being outed and then hurt, and other queers projecting their belief there is a "gay look" on you to the point where they'll act like you're on cis peoples side for "following the binary too close."

Personally I think it should be called _____ passing safety or something similar?

Because that's the main reason people hide themselves to pass. And it's the reason they don't argue when someone assigns them and identity. Is because of fear of backlash, harm, or even the risk of death.

Idk it's not fully fleshed (So feel free to add your own thoughts on the matter) out but privilege implies gain, and none of those really gain youanything. Especially if it can be taken at. moments notice if they learn who you actually are.

How to Elect a Cook as President

Economics is the study of policy and practice, in a publicly traded firm.

The CEO, picks the economist, as the most attractive, to him, the health of the business.

But scouting a CEO, to hire, is how you get the best.

That's the President of the United States.

Chas T. Main, placed a favorite food item, in Iowa, for the Caucaus, to get the President to fix the country, the "Company"; a short list, of first semester or first military rooming assignments, approved of by the room mate on a private review, after having refused their first military assignment of rank.

Everybody, but a cook, can get it.

Martin Luther King Jr. invented the Jamaican beef patty, an orange spiced beef soaked empanada, with American cheese and an extra lean beef square from Irish cattle farms of short rounds little cows, perfect for a kid.

I eat Cheerios, out of my fist, fingers up, my mouth on the base of my palm, opposite my thumb.

I take care of American politicians we don't like, for Chas T. Main, for cutting a deal with the enemy of manhood, a daughter's father.

I invented the egg tabasco whip, before butter and fry, in a stove skillet pan.

I'm just a cook, Master Chief. Why'd you put me in a Mark Five?

There's not a single god damn word in your opening post that talks about other people to vote for. It is nothing but talking about the flaws of the Democrats and criticizing the notion of "Vote Blue no matter". The only time in this entire post that you pointed out an alternative candidate was the asterisk about Claudia de la cruz, and that was in your reply to my reply.

When you spend an entire post taling about how one side is basically the same as the other, the logical reaction of the average person is that picking between them is point. It is hopelessly naive to expect any other outcome from that. Because event if the thought of voting third party did cross someone's mind, the common consensus on third parties is that it's the same as throwing away your vote, and your does does zilch to challenge that narrative.

The intent in your head doesn't change the content of what you wrote. You may want people to go for other candidates but you original post will do absolutely nothing to achieve that because it does not encourage anything, it exclusively discourages. The only result a reasonable person can expect from it is voter depression.

Furthermore, "Vote Blue No Matter Who" is slogan that targeted towards the average voter. It targeted towards informed who are already aware of the flaws of the Democrats. The entire point of it is to remind people disastified with the Democrats that it is still important go to the polls. When you call out that phrase by name, you are not criticizing the democrats, you are criticizing. participation in the election at all. The fact that you want to be criticizing the democrats does not change what you're doing. And to be, this is the point that makes your post inherently repbulican propaganda. Anything that depresses the vote is de facto republican propaganda no matter what the poster's intent is

I'm not surrendering, I'm living in the real world. Remember, the candidate you have endorsed in this post is, at the time of this writing, literally incapable of winning. If every single person who sees her name on a ballot box voted for her, she still would not win the presidency because she is not on enough ballots to be capable of winning the presidency. And even assuming the literal impossible happens and she gets elected to congress, is there anyone in congress who is in the same party as her? Is there anyone in her party who is even running for legislative positions? Because if they can't take a significant majority of the the legislature, they won't be able to achieve anything of substance in office. No laws that aren't approved by the by the democrats or republicans will reach her desk, because there is no one in place to push her Agenda. That's part of why you can't start at the top. because if you do get a fluke victory all you'd get out of it is someone unable to acomplish the agenda you want them too. But let's at the senate, and again assume a golden scenario where every seat up for electron gets won by the party claudia de la cruz represents. That's 33 seats. 20 seats held by Dems, 3 held by independents who caucaus with the dems, and 10 held by Reps. That would leave the senate with 39 Reps, 33 memebers of Claudia's party, and 28 Dems. A repblican plurality.

Even assuming that your post has the intent you desired, of encouraging Dems to to vote for third party candidates, the party that will benefit the most from that is the Republican Party, because it's that who ever is in second place is the one whose going to benefit the most from from first place losing ground. The Democrats will be swayed toward the ideas with the most success, and unless the entire democratic voter base does a hard swing left (which is not going to happen) that's not going to be the socialists that win big

Yes, it's true that Trans people are negatively effected by other democratic policies, I'm not going to deny that. But that fact that democrats are not actively trying to criminalize their existence means that they are still substantially better off under a democratic regime than they would be under a republican regime.

So, apparently Biden started building more of Trump's border wall back in October. Hardly anyone talked about it, partly because American liberals don't like bringing up similarities between Democrats and Republicans, partly because the war crimes in Palestine were distracting sensible people around the same time. But now that I know, I have stuff to say about it.

Biden promised not to build the wall, he said it won't do anything. His administration says we need to build more walls "in order to prevent unlawful entries into the United States in the project areas". Biden says he's only building any of it because he's legally obligated to, because Congress wouldn't undo the budget appropriations; he then waived dozens of federal laws so the construction wouldn't be slowed down by concerns or lawsuits about endangered species, pollution, indigenous burial sites, drinking water, etc.

One of the articles I read pointed out that barriers at the US/Mexican border have historically been a bipartisan project. Clinton ordered a few fences, Bush and Obama a bunch more. It wasn't a partisan issue until Trump built his campaign and political identity around The Wall; I guess it's not partisan any more, either.

Maybe Blue is still better than Red, but they're working hard to make that as much of a technicality as possible. The Democrats are at best spineless accomplices to the Republicans, and at worst willing collaborators. Some individual Democrats are worth supporting, but do your research.

"Vote Blue no matter who" just gives Democrats more leeway to get away with whatever they want, so long as they are infinitesimally less vile than Republicans.

Links to the news articles I read before writing this can be found below, if you're interested.

Probably the best summary from the articles I read:

An article with a completely different focus, which actually lists all 26 laws Biden is breaking waiving for the barriers' construction:

Two articles that are pretty similar to each other and the first article, but each focus on some different details:

There was technically a fifth article, but it was basically just quotes and talking points repeated ad nauseum in the other articles.
