At the end of commercial about a cream where everyone is smiling, laughing, and a cheery jingle is playing, says someone at over 200bpm: “Side effects may include a rash that looks like you caught the Bubonic plague”

That's a third ingredient though, once you make it that complicated you need a woman to help.

Ignore the fact that I subsisted off rice & beans so that I could save more beer money. That part is irrelevant.

When I was young, I was disgustingly broke and lazy, but NO, it turns out I was #proteinmaxxing long before it was cool, except with beans instead of beef because I was a vegetarian.

Fortune Magazine: "Is this proteinmaxxing?"

Mixing "X" with rice when you're young is just called being young and poor...

I guess I do care a little. But, I can't pretend to even hold a candle to how much you don't care. Game recognizes game my friend.

I'm genuinely sorry for not understanding this guy's schtick before I responded. My sincerest apologies, or whatever...

The guy who quote-posted me 7 times for saying "calling people USian is weird even if there is some merit behind it" claims he doesn't even care.

Just... be slightly more normal on the internet guys. Please.

I mean, I said "I agree with you but if the goal is primarily to get a rise out of people with a term then no one is going to use it" and you're acting like you KO'd me in a round of internet discourse. I'm still confused what you think I'm trying to say.

I didn't know. I've never heard of the guy before he quote posted me three times. Was I supposed to know how "T. Ryan Gregory CA" operates on Bluesky before today?

I don't even mind the term, it's just weird to be quote posted so much because someone thinks they're being really cool or whatever.

The guy who made a thread of 10 quote posts in a row?

I didn’t say it bothered me? I’m just trying to understand why it’s important to “own” people with it.

By all means, people from the USA being able to own the term “American” is BS.

But nonstop quote tweeting people going “hehe” isn’t going to change that…

Most of the history I have studied has been about manufactured identities, i.e. fabricated nations, their criteria and demonyms.

Being pedantic with linguistic terms, even if you're right, is just a silly hill to die on. There are many more effective ways to be critical of the sins of the USA.

It just feels performative to say that a term almost no one uses, and which confuses people (on top of it being linguistically weird) is some kind of "own."

Like, yes, people from Latin America are also "Americans," but people in the USA have identified as "Americans" for a long time...

I understand the term, and I agree with the logic behind it. But, it really does make anyone using it seem unserious. Nation states are all fake constructs and the words we use to describe them and their citizens are illogical. Trying to provoke people with a phrase no one uses feels… pointless?

I understand all of the linguistic logic behind this phrase, but at the end of the day, I still call the “Governor Mario M. Cuomo Memorial Bridge” the Tappan Zee and if anyone uses the other name I’m going to make fun of them for it.

With him and Musk I have no conception of what their excuse could be other than “oh they’re white and white peoples can’t be antisemitic anymore, unless they protest on a college campus then they’re basically Hamas.”

Dude is on his what… fifth chance now? And he keeps fucking up in ways I previously hadn’t thought possible.

He’s a white dude though so I guess he’s got more lives than a cat.

Well, maybe not NORMAL. But significantly less isolated and absent of kids as Britain wants to be.

Or Children of Men, apparently it takes place in Britain as it is on track to be now and the rest of the world is just… normal.

Gettin’ real tired of waving this flag if I’m being honest:

Really getting tired of having to take out my “that guy ain’t it” flag.

“What do you mean Nigeriens aren’t from Nigeria?!”

"We're allied because we have the same fucked up goals" is apparently too difficult for people to grasp. Everything has to be "puppet-master web of intrigue" conspiracy nonsense because simply accepting that the majority of people in charge of the U.S. just suck is too hard.

What if, when you went to Vegas, and you won a big Roulette bet, the casino was just like "lol no."

But it's everything in the world and the people running it make billions off of blatant insider trading?
