As long as we’re talking about weird sibling texts y'all gotta see this completely unprompted banger my sister sent me the other day.
She didn’t even tell me where she got it.
SEVEN AND A HALF FUCKING DOLLARS??????
loo lbr thats just how groceries are these days
I fucking hate inflation we can’t even have canned tuna in this hell world!!!
So I looked up reviews of this specific tuna and I have several things to report:
1) Apparently it really is just that fucking good.
2) There’s an artisan version they sell made with tuna belly which is reportedly phenomenal and despite the $21 price tag I genuinely want to try it.
3) The youtubers who review canned fish are simultaneously the weirdest and most boring people who have ever lived and I’m completely obsessed with them.
Pfft, don’t threaten me with a good time.
Fuck it, 10k notes and I buy the $7 tuna and try it on stream. 50k and I’ll get the expensive stuff too. Have fun <3
oooh i’m down to help out for an expensive can of fish :)
Unsolicited info dump!
Folks, it’s not inflation. This a Spanish brand, and it’s the most expensive of the kind of brands you still find in supermarkets. That can is over 4€ ($5) here, and here it’s a local product (for reference, here it costs about the same as SIX cans of cheap tuna). So $7 in a foreign country is not even that expensive given it’s an import.
Also, technically speaking, it’s not exactly tuna, it’s bonito (which is very similar to tuna, but 🤷)
Do it. $21 tuna is the diamond encrusted amontillado for the rest of us.
“Americans believe in big portions! That’s so crazy.” Look at this European getting scammed into paying for 100 calories worth of food. Fool. Idiot. You wish you could have this 16 ounce Big Gulp and this serving of rice I will eat off for three days but you can’t. Cope and seethe.
I also love watching Italians get mad at Italian American food. You’re cranky because your hungry, aren’t you? Cranky because you don’t get that delicious olive oil and balsamic vinegar to dip your bread in before meals? Cranky because your pizza kinda sucks?
Beef? You aren’t eating, I just said that.
who has that one post that’s like “americans will lightly rib british people for their accents and brits will be like ‘your children will die in a school shooting’“
God I hate these fucking floating monoliths. They always go, like, 10mph below the speed limit and if you try to pass them they just fucking distort reality around them until you’re back behind them again. One of them cut me off on the highway once and when I honked it banished me to a hoary netherworld where I wandered, lost and alone, for untold centuries, trapped in the liminal space between what could have been and what never was, black stars dotting the bright infinity yawning out around me as I drove out of thought and time, through endless ruined cities and blighted lands unmarked by the sun’s cold rays, and when I finally got out I was more than 20m late for my dentist appointment and they had to reschedule me.
any anti-zionism that is not committed to fighting antisemitism and making the diaspora safe for jews to live in is not just counterproductive: it is worse than useless.
Also worth noting (for people who may be unfamiliar because use of the terms has ticked up massively in the last week) that making your commitment to fighting antisemitism clear is really important because there are contexts (a lot, in fact) in which calling Jews zionists is a neo-Nazidogwhistle which does not have anything to do with supporting Palestinians. Specifically using the word “Zionists” to mean Jews-in-general (regardless of their politics) is neo-Nazi talk. Assuming all Jews are zionists has similar connotations. So does arguing over Jews who have publicly stated that they are anti-zionist and saying they must be lying. For that reason, “Does this person conflate being Jewish with zionism and refuse to believe non- or anti-zionist Jews exist?” is an extremely basic litmus test for antisemitism and a huge number of ostensible leftists are failing it miserably right now.
Also while it’s true that there are Jewish-led organizations and publications which have described the extreme right wing of Israel as “Jewish supremacists” because of their open statements that Israeli Jews’ rights are more important than those of Israeli Arabs and Palestinans, the phrase has also been/is still used by white supremacists who are inverting the idea of white supremacy as a part of the greatreplacement conspiracy theory, and they and other antisemites use it as a rhetorical device similar to Holocaust inversion (“Jews are the real Nazis”). If you go in the “Jewish supremacy” tag you will find neo-Nazis in there! Context-free use of the term also reads as a massive red flag because of that.
People are mostly strangers on the internet. Strangers have no way of knowing who is and is not an antisemite unless they visibly, explicitly, stand up for Jews and against antisemitic violence and rhetoric.
Just like with Palestinian solidarity, if you want people’s trust you need to show that you are trustworthy, because a ton of hostility is being directed towards Jewish people worldwide right now and default assumption of good faith is not something that everyone can afford right now.
If you can recognize why Palestinians, Arabs (& their diasporas) and Muslims are especially leery of dog whistles and language which seems fine on the surface level but may have double meanings, and why they may not trust that strangers are supportive of their human rights or will stand up for their safety against bigots, you can do the same for Jewish people.
I think it should take longer to make tv shows and movies. I think shooting days should be shorter. I think AD’s lives should be longer. I think we shouldn’t have to be in a goddamn rush all the time. I think we should have the time it takes to make good art. I think fans should wait even longer than they do and be happy that everyone who made the art is getting full nights of sleep.
