>Royal will have the longest hole in Open history when the Ayrshire links plays host to the 152nd championship in July.

>The sixth hole will measure 623 yards - 22 more than it did when staged the 2016 Open - when it hosts the battle for the Claret Jug from 18-21 July.

Vote for me and I will use the tools of state repression (a reinvigorated Policy 39 system of state funding withholding) to devastate the suburbs (strongly incentivize them to build sufficient housing to foster socioeconomic diversity and prevent enclaves of affluence)

It's fairly obvious that both the British Empire and the United States have contributed to establishing English as the Lingua Franca. Anyone who denies that both are responsible is being bias and arguing in bad faith.

BAD FAITH aside, this is one of the less r-slurred takes.

We had a hard empire and a soft empire. We still have the Soft empire.

Some rocks off the coast of Argentina aren't really a "soft empire"

I wouldn't call the Falklands an act of colonialism. There was nobody on the rock til some British people moved out there

Que opinan, boludos ? !latinx

As a Bulgarian who learned English to be able to understand movies that have not been legally released in Bulgaria - this is it.

American culture did contribute a great deal and I'm not going to pretend that it didn't.

Other europeen chimes in that, yeah, it's because America.

Right, but where did the US get its language from? Did the English language there arise separately? The source of the language not one of its users, is the reason some of the world, speaks English.

As if Americans aren't just as much the descendants of the originators of English as Bongs.

An old man has a farm and many sons, one still lives in the farm, the others murdered and stole moved into a nicer new place, is the guy in the farm somehow more responsible for what the old man did than the other sons?

Yeah this is so obviously true i have no idea why this is on this sub.

Others agree that yeah, it's the US.

Because it's silly to credit an inheritor of a language (the US didn't create the English language) with spreading said language. The Brits spread the language to the American continent. It's like if Japan managed to make baseball popular in other parts of Asia, because it's popular in Japan. It's still an American invention. Not a Japanese one. The sport would be popular across asia because Americans invented it, not the Japanese.

This Scot is having a fricking meltdown.

It cannot unfortunately be denied that American culture plays a big part in the further anglofication of the world.

No shit, right? Not to Scrooge McCuck:

Except it's entirely based on what the British Empire did. And it's hardly as if the UK simply stopped producing content in 1775.

The biggest media properties in the world are all British, not American except for movies, of which the two biggest are largely filmed in the UK (SW and Marvel) and have a huge amount of British actors in them too. Even then 3 of the biggest movie franchises are British (HP / LOTR / Bond).

Biggest band in history? The Beatles, most popular book series in the world? Harry Potter, most popular author in history? Shakespeare, most widely watched television show in the world? Top Gear, most widely watched sports league? The Premier League, most widely watched sport? Football, followed by cricket, both British.

People overplay American influence and underplay British influence to an INSANE degree.

Lol and what are the other 7 on the Top 10? The top 4 are all American. It's fricking goyslop--but darn it, it's American goyslop.

English Empire did it. Not often in a good way, often destroying history and culture. All the US has done is distort the spellings, ruin jokes and populariise English as the choices for films.

Lol. You must be one of those creepy Americans, with a gun in your bed and a flag as your quilt cover. You have no sense of reality. If only you had a real education. One that involves experiencing many views and cultures. Enjoy your online anger, it's made me smile.

As if that isn't cool as frick.

Not even. A billion Indians and Africans spoke English before American culture had made a dent. The spread of English happened before 1920. American culture wasn't a real force until the 1950s. Americans speak English because of empire for gods sake

lol a Billion Africans and Indians didn't speak English before WW2.

Americans speak English because they're Anglos, lmao.

Do you think that British influence stopped after 1957? The UK is one of, often the most influential power in the world in terms of soft power. Still to this day this is true.

lololololololol

whole story might be made up tho lmao

You may have noticed that I didn't sperg my lane assist car video thing the last two Sunday evenings.

Well, I've really been putting my nose to the grindstone and getting some work done with it. Recorded the rest of the footage, even managed to install the darn mirror in the car and get it working again!

Isn't that exciting? Isn't it?

So now I have the video 95% completed. It's organized, trimmed, all I need to do is finalize the background music and record an outro.

Guess what?

I hate it.

I sound like an neurodivergent robot, the visuals are distracting, some parts go too fast, some too slow, and it's frontloaded with way too much

So I get to scrap it and try again, reusing as many assets as possible because holy shit I've been working on this for six months and have nothing to show for it. I do know that I'll move the 'print settings' to a separate video because really, how important is that for the average casual youtube boredbrowser?

I guess enjoy this "final failed draft" in its entirety. Idk.

So you might've heard of the recent thought experiment hitting the net of women thinking that men are more dangerous than bears, showing that women in general don't really understand the concept of a base rate fallacy. Not that many really long threads with infighting yet, but it's interesting to see it develop.

Why would anyone care about how others eat their food?

I do not care if people break spaghetti because they want smaller pieces.

I do care if they break it to "make it fit in the pot".

Because it softens enough in boiling water to bend and fit after a few seconds. So people who break it for that purpose, are blatently lacking in basic critical and logical thinking, and they need to learn so they stop perpetuating that nonsense.

For people who just want smaller pieces, that's fine. Since that type of pasta isn't available in all stores, and might even be more expensive based on where you are because of much lower mass production numbers.

Because Italian food is the only thing left of the Roman Empire.

most historically literate redditor

If you saw someone wearing shoes upside down with their laces tied around their ankles wouldn't you say

"Hey! There's a better way to do that! That's not how you use shoes!"

This is the same concept but with chefs and Italians

I mean if I live with them and they waste a lot of food I might care a bit.

I know cutting crust off is a waste of food, but how is breaking pasta a waste?

If you really want to put it that way, when you try to break a noodle, you'll notice it always breaks into three pieces, the middle piece can be very small if you do it with your hands close to each other, but you will always lose a small amount of pasta by breaking it.

I just noticed you can even see it in the post all the lil pieces flying all around the photo lol

That's why you break them over the pot, angled so the broken bits go into the pot. It's an easy fix.

Almost like basic reasoning can answer his problem.

"You break da pasta and it flies forward!" Hmm, maybe break it into the pot?

But why breaking it in the first place?

I think to fit it in the pot so one half isn't undercooked vs the side that's not in water

... are you all out there just yeeting pasta into a pot and leaving it to boil unattended

If I wanted to attend my food I wouldn't be making spaghetti

I don't see any issues with modifications on food. Do whatever for you to eat. Who cares

yeah! let me eat my bananas with ketchup in peace

As much as an abomination this is, if someone likes it then that's on them

I put Nutella and mayo on meat lovers pizza it's such a great combo

in conclusion: italians lmao

P.S.: Pineapple is good on pizza

/h/communism used to be my favorite place for discussion but lately it's indistinguishable from a MAGA hole. When will the mods step up?
