An obnoxious amount of spice on rotting meat is not "fucking great." French cuisine is the pinnacle of gastronomie.
An obnoxious amount of butter in everything is not "fucking great," either.

I'm lying, yes it is. I also like Indian food. The vast majority of "Chinese" food in the US is heavily Americanized and you rarely see it in mainland China.

Realizing I was just as guilty as the hood rats on TikTok going "whypypo don't spize deir fud, u kan stil tast chiken or bef and sheeet" made me realize I was doing the same thing and immediately slashed my sauce -- and sodium -- intake by several orders of magnitude. Felt great, man. And it turns out I actually enjoy the taste of chicken, beef, pork, etc etc. You don't have to smother them in orange sauce until they're literally candy with protein hidden inside.

Yes, the "Chinese" food we get in the US is not real. I was fortunate to have a real experience at a Chinese restaurant where a Han co-woker ordered off the secret menu. Nothing too exotic as Chinese will eat everything that moves, but still interesting. I have also had former Indian co-workers explain the various styles of cuisine as I tried them out. Unfortunately, without people who know at restaurants run by the correct natives, it's difficult for most to experience the authentic styles.
 
Ironically, they also have a feature to extend battery life by throttling the CPU when the battery is low, and this made people complain that Apple was trying to force them to buy new phones with a secret virus that made their phones slower by throttling the CPU for no reason.
Batteries are wear items, and they stop working as efficiently as they wear. That can mean reduced battery life, but also reduced battery stability where it has random voltage drops when the CPU activity spikes.

There are two methods to deal with this. You can go the Android way and if your CPU tries to draw more power than your battery can supply, your phone just reboots. The Apple way was to slow your CPU down so it CAN'T draw more power than the battery can supply, so your phone stays running and useable, but at a slower rate depending on how bad the battery is.

Did Apple choose to slow the CPU too much? Maybe. Should they have been more up front about the entire situation so it doesn't become a bigger conspiracy than it did? Absolutely. Nobody likes Apple's smug "we know what's best for you" but at the same time, that mindset is what allows them to polish their walled garden into a beautiful, golden prison.

What's worse than the iPhones is the Macbooks, where they don't let you run 32 bit programs on CPUs that absolutely can because they removed 32 bit compatibility in newer versions. They are even worse than Microsoft when it comes to making app developers use their newest OS methods for things so that something like Discord can no longer run on older versions once Discord drops the old methods.

Nothing like trying to open a program that worked yesterday, but doesn't anymore.
 
Luffy at the Easter Egg Roll, putting the Easter bunny in his rightful advisor place as opposed to being a Visiting Angel (this time seems like just a female staffer, Maybe Margo Martin?). Karoline Leavitt looking good as a tradwife:

I think one of the big things was that all iPhones of that year got slowed down, even if your replaced the battery so you didn't have low voltage problems.

that's the secret
even a stick of butter isn't able to reach "an obnoxious amount"
just taking a bite out of a stick of butter
 
And that’s a good thing.

Most “authentic” food sucks and is peasant slop. Only a handful of countries have ever developed a formal culinary culture.
Truth. Speaking as someone whose whole family comes from Naples (probably the most nigger of all Italians aside from Sicilians) and the fact that Neapolitans have always been a dirt poor nigger culture, I've watched with disgust as family members eat pig knuckles, chicken gizzards, and literally suck marrow out of bones.
 
Bruh.

First of all, how doez her wife's "conduct" negate the fact Garcia was never given his right to due process?

He was in America illegally, meaning he didn't follow the legal process to get in.

If he didn't follow the legal process to enter, then the only """"due process"""" he is entitled to is a plane ticket back home. (which he got)
