Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Our food is really good, too. We have everything from all over the world and then some. One complaint I've heard about visiting Germany, for example, is there's nothing but German food. The US has German food, but also Italian, French, Chinese, Thai, Ethiopian, Columbian, etc.
Some of our major cities can also be a lot of fun. There's a bunch to see in Seattle and Washington DC, even if you don't want to go to historic sites gooning themselves over founding fathers. New York and LA are impossible to experience in one sitting. You have to live in them for an extended period or make several visits.
Then again, you could just go visit China or India or France.
Germany is cosmopolitan, it has many types of food from all around the world and a pretty big group of vegans spicing things up. Though when th3y "Germanize" a dish it always makes it worse.
That's nonsense. You actively have to inconvenience yourself to get German food, and it's basically only eaten by boomers and tourists. On the other hand, you can get genericized Italian, Turkish or Vietnamese food basically anywhere that's not a tiny village.
Admittedly, the quality is usually not the best.
I'm currently in Italy on vacation and it's hard to have a bad meal here - usually in tourist hotspots, or like take-away.
