Trump voter believes in small government. Also that the state should be able to legally compel you to electronically track your children and that 11-year-olds shouldn’t be able to walk around outside without constant surveillance and sides with parents being arrested for allowing it. Believes “some” parental freedom should be “allowed.”
I just rolled my eyes so hard I gave myself a headache.
Yeah, usually that really thick, bleach-white chowder is frowned at. Really traditional chowder only uses the starch from the potatoes and cream to thicken it, and it’s more soup-like than the kind that’s basically the consistency of soft-serve ice cream. Really traditional chowder would someotimes used crushed ship biscuits (hard tack) as a thickener, which is why some people use flour/roux these days. Hard tack is basically the progenitor of modern crackers, including the often served oyster crackers. I like a crusty sourdough myself. Better for the mop up work!
Rhode Island, a suburb of Boston (😁) has an interesting chowder that has a clear broth that is pretty good too. It’s basically identical minus the heavy cream. Great for people that don’t get along with lactose.
Also, pro tip, if you don’t have fresh clams, get a bottle of clam juice to add to taste. Usually you steam the clams open and then take out the meat and chop them up for the chowder, and you use the steaming juice leftover to add more clam flavor, as desired. Bottle of clam juice does the same basic thing (without needing to strain out the grit).
Usually the best chowders aren’t brilliant white. They’re a little darker like yours and almost look a little “dirty,” for lack of a better word. If someone served me a bowl of what you made, I would expect it probably will taste great just from the eye test.
You’re a world-class moron.
New England chowder comes in about 15 “main” ways to make it. It’s pretty different from region to region in New England and even house to house. Just eyeballing this, it looks pretty legit. Some in the mighty northeast might accuse you of “being fancy with it,” but it looks great to me.
Bacon is kind of a west coast addition because their clams are wicked shitty, kid. Salt pork is used, but crispy bacon less so. And traditional chowder isn’t thick. Finally, some might quibble with carrots, but that’s definitely one that you’ll see regularly with and without. This doesn’t look overly thick to me, and I’ve done bacon add at the end and it’s hard to say it’s not great!
What are you even talking about? The per capita death rates differ from what you’re posting (making up?) here. According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO), the death rate from alcohol use disorders in Germany is 9.2 per 100,000 population, whereas in the United States, it is 14.3 per 100,000 population. That’s a substantial difference. Are you a recovering alcoholic or lose someone to alcohol or something? It’s fine that you are against alcohol, but you’re making false comparisons and citing false data to do so.
Your own Wikipedia link puts alcohol dramatically lower than cocaine and heroin in terms of dependence and harm. Were you raised by alcoholics or something? If so, sorry, that sucks.
You’re unironically putting alcohol on par with cocaine and heroin? You really missed your calling as a roller-pin-wielding prohibitionist by 100 years.
My god, it’s incredible you made it out alive.
To make it even more complicated, counties, of which states are composed, can also set the terms of alcohol use in their jurisdiction. There’s “dry” counties all around the US where alcohol cannot be legally purchased.
And then there are counties where public consumption is fine and prostitution is legal. So… idk. It’s a big country. Montana, just one of the states, is larger than Germany, and it’s only the 4th largest state. The largest state is over four times bigger than Montana.
No one is saying kids require you to drink. The idea that having a glass of wine while playing games with kids and other adults is very puritanical of you. Do you come from a family of alcoholics or something? You’ll be shocked to know many people also have an alcoholic beverage at dinner and their kids are there! 🤯
No…kid-ding. See what I did there?
No one is going to comment on the name? Lol
Yes, people are saying this. Search any major social media site. Or Google the phrase for any number of articles about the rise of this and other similar sentiments online and irl.
Tell me you’re a white guy without telling me you’re a white guy.
Your mom is the easiest thot. Sorry, it was right there, I had to take the opportunity.
It’s rarely ever possible to fix something that is fundamentally and compositionally flawed. No one is arguing that it’s easier. They’re arguing that it’s necessary.
Always looking for what’s easy instead of what’s necessary is part of how we got here in the first place.
Imagine being upset by something as normal as different opinions about what is attractive. You’ll be shocked to know that some people find mustaches and/or beards disgusting too. The horror!
Because the person who said those things and to whom I’m responding is the “Trump voter” I specifically referenced? In case the fact that I’m directly responding to their comment and they’re the OP of this post didn’t make it clear enough for you.
