If you or someone you know doesn't fit each one of those, then they are at risk of persecution in the US.
That's me this time around!

I can't really speak for 41 million people
Of course you can! Just say it louder than other people, it works for politics in the US...
Yeah, I was familiar with, like, the nuts and bolts part. It was the emotional reaction, I guess, I was looking for. So most people just don't have a problem with it?
In the us, we used to not be able to vote for senators. We elected the house, and the house elected the senators, and that shit didn't fly. Lol. One thing about Americans, we want to have opinions on shit. Even when we shouldn't, we gotta voice ourselves. If we tried to switch to a Westminster system here, people would be up in arms about not being able to vote directly for the PM, like we were about senators. Even if it's a better system. It's not the greatest trait our country has.
Question from the American here. Does it ever bother folks that you don't get a direct say in who the prime minister is? It's a superior system to the bullshit we've got going on down here, and clearly, being able to directly vote for the head of state/government doesn't guarantee shit, I've always felt like it not being able to choose the PM was kind of shitty
Obligatory it's bullshit, will never happen, et cetera preface...
The problem with splitting it into multiple states is that each new state would get 2 senators. Our house is capped, the amount of reps we have is how many have, which means they can fuck around with the numbers a bit and potentially take democratic seats away to give to state of Canada, but with the Senate, if it were to split it into 10 new states, we'd have to add 20 additional senators, all of whom would be Democrats (or, at least, most of them). Some of the Canadian parties might last for a bit, but eventually the two party would take over, and they'd all become Democrats, and it would fuck the Republicans. Better to keep it as a single state, do some fuckery on who loses seats to add Canadian reps to the house, and only add 2 senators. Much easier to buy 2 senators than 20.
But honestly, the smartest route would be to make Canada a territory. No senators, no reps, no voting for president. But still citizens. Give it the Puerto Rico treatment.
Depends on what I'm doing with it. If it's something I'm going to be draining anyway, like making a cheese or a thick sauce, or in going to be drying it out, like with a baked yogurt chicken, then I'm gonna pour it out (probably into a jar to save for cooking with), if I'm just having, like, some fruit and yogurt, or making a smoothie, then I'm mixing it back in

I'm okay with this. I may be changing my username...
Years and years ago, I was really active on a forum, and one of the members did this world trip, couch surfing with different members of the forum and seeing the world. She and I weren't good friends. In fact, she irritated me a bit, nothing in particular, just... Didn't vibe. At all. But a leg of her trip was taking through my state, and she needed a place to crash, so I said fuck it, sure.
She stayed with her best friend from the forum in Boston, and it was a complete bust. They didn't get along, Boston friend found her irritating, grating, and overwhelmingly boring.
Then she got to my place, and I made a new best friend. We got along so well she stayed an extra 2 days, and we had a fucking blast.
