Nobody whoās ever eaten Canada goose does so willingly a second time.
Had an entire shit-show over this one time at moose camp when my brother made some wild game stew that included goose. Couple of guys didnāt eat that night, and were quite vocal about it.

Iāve seen the documentaries.
Iron pellets in the bird seed and using a magnet;
Instant hole.
Painting a tunnel onto a rock face.
TNT
Other various and sundry ACME products.
Nothing works.
Also, cannot catch a rabbit. Super-Genius my ass.

Right on!
We ate Canada goose once when I was a kid and it wonāt happen again. The amount of plucking required was ridiculous for the resulting amount of crummy meat.
The only time I had Canada goose was as spicy goose sausage. It was tasty. Of course a good sausage maker can make anything taste good.
Yes. Goose is from the āits all in how you cook itā.family. which is code for nasty, cover in gravy.

Saw my parents over the weekendā¦āI watched this video of random online person talk about the debate and he pointed out how Harris didnāt really say anything the entire time and no one really knows anything about her, so I am just not going to vote for either of themā
Uhā¦did you watch any part of the actual debate? Trump seemed pretty crazyā¦oh, nevermind
Their vote wont matter. This āI am basing my vote on this youtube videoā is frightening but going to be the reality for the 100M+ voters that did not actually watch any of the debate or are happy outsourcing their decision to social media.

Iāve seen a lot of criticisms of Harris over her lack of policy details both in the debate and on the campaign webpage. Both are significantly greater than what Trump has put forward. And Warren and Clinton both had tons of detail and that didnāt help (people actually criticized Warren for being too detail oriented).

When does an immigrant community get to be xxx-American? I thought at least most of those Haitians they are talking about are immigrants allowed in the US under special rules that allow them to work legally with the right paperwork but are not permanent residents and could be sent back to their country if their country were to be reformed enough for them to be safe?

āA concept of a plan is so much better, and that is why Iām voting for him.ā
I read any criticism of her and think, āHeās still worse on all levels.ā Like that USA Today opinion/hit piece.
Like when do the folks in Springfield get to be Haitian-Americans rather than just Haitians?
Thinking back on my personal usage I seem to draw the line at whether someone was born in the United States or not.
My MIL is African; FIL is African-American. Both are U.S. citizens but only FIL was born in the U.S. Iām certainly not trying to be disrespectful and no one has ever corrected that usage. In fact, I think when I posted a random anecdote about them on AO one of yāalls (long since forgotten who) asked āout of curiosityā¦ are your in-laws African or African-American?ā That seemed to be that posterās dividing metric as well.
I also donāt know if the continental āAfrican Americanā or āAsian Americanā has different rules from country specific āHaitian Americanā or āChinese Americanā.
Iād probably use them in the same way as far as when to add āAmericanā on the end or not.
When I was dating a British guy who came to the U.S. as an adult he was āBritishā but my BFF whose parents came over from Germany before she was born is āGerman Americanā. I think Iām consistent when talking about white and non-white people too.
None of that is to say that Iām correctā¦ but that seems to be where I have drawn the line in my personal usage.
Iām definitely inconsistent about whether I hyphenate German-American or not. Probably more often than not I donāt but I know I do it both ways and havenāt noticed any rhyme or reason to when I do or donāt use a hyphen so if thereās some rule I can follow, Iām all ears. (Eyes?)
My vote is we just call all American citizens (and perhaps even green card holders) āAmericansā and leave it at that.

Agreed. Anyone thinking that their heritage, or where they or their family are from, is important to anyone else is deluding themselves.
I mean, thatās quite oversimplified: Israel - Hamas War October 2023
Clearly a lot of people assign a lot of value to ethnicity.
