Admiral Snaccbar @Chris Mench Serving shrimp with the tail still on when it's already mixed into something (pasta, rice, etc) is insane.

We're fucked. We're probably witnessing the last decade of relative stability.

Blindly supporting the Two-Party System, and bullying those who don't, is anti-American. It will only lead to fascism.

EDIT - @chaogomu provided quality information on how to actually work with US voting and how to make a difference. Arrow's Impossibility Theorem and https://equal.vote

Do people blindly support it? I live with it and vote accordingly but I also advocate for alternative voting methods. People voting third party do not fully understand that our first past the post system makes it so their candidate has no chance.

Jesus, it's always "bullying" when people get told the consequences of their choice. You don't need to believe in politics, it will still fuck you over. A lot of people don't have the luxury of not participating because they aren't spoiled white suburbanites able to just hide from the consequences of ignoring how their country functions.

Right?? I love shrimp but I hate eating things with my hands. No matter the dish, I pull those tails off and I know how to do it without losing any meat. I can't stand tails on shrimp as I'm trying to eat

I pay excessive money at a restaurant to ensure I have to do no work and everything within reason is edible. If this is not the case when I get it, I love nothing more than sending it back, and if I don't think they'll not mess with my food or give me any attitude I will leave and they'll eat the loss (and maybe the tails).

Amusingly as I was reading this comment thread my room service arrived and it had shrimp with the tails buried in pasta.

As Americans, we should eat more meat organs. The amount of Americans who get excited by eating a chicken leg but then get disgusted at eating the chicken gizzard is too high.

I usually cut my spaghetti. It's just more convenient to eat.
