Yeah, that

It turns out “Overconfident Americans try Colman’s, Suffer” is like a whole genre now?? Amazing. I love this for us. This was the funniest tho. youtu.be/ABtpC0DXUk8?...

Like at least make fun of how we’ll put basically anything in a sandwich or a yorkshire pudding, y’know? :p

I guess the main thing is you aren’t in the group you’re making fun of, you aren’t actually part of ‘us’ or ‘yourselves’, and you’re not making fun of a thing which is true or accurate, you’re just… repeating a myth. Which isn’t much of a skewering or a joke, really.

Yeah. We do. All the time. But also we know what we’re talking about because we do actually know White British culture and not just the myths-Americans-believe version.

Idk just feels like trying to make the same lazy&wrong national stereotype jokes but trying to find an acceptable target.

Okay. But what you say is “British food”, and Madeline has already covered that even “white people food” is not especially correct, so mostly it just seems like you want to inaccurately make fun of a nation using lazy, wrong stereotypes and have it be fine because white and British?

… I need to find that.

Stick a teaspoonful of Colman’s English mustard in your mouth and then get back to me on what you think British heat tolerance is like. :)

One of the very best to ever do it.

I really wish we’d stop acting like Cantonese cuisine isn’t authentic just because it’s different from Mainland food. Colonialism very much having happened aside.

Yeah, the only tomatillos I’ve seen here were in a tin and even then you had to order them specially online instead of seeing them in (most) supermarkets. It’s not easy!

Honestly I think some peeps are just twitchy after several years of British Food being an Acceptable Thing To Be Shitty About On The Internet (Facts Absent). But sometimes we aren’t amazing at something and that’s fine! Getting the ingredients for a lot of Mexican food is honestly a bitch here.

Feel free!

It’s surely a better use of time to read what was in fact only the second tweet in the thread than making excuses for not doing so.

And honestly the experience of being disabled is usually closer to living inside a kafka-esque absurdist comedy than anything like a grand and dramatic tragedy. Leaning into it is way more fun than feeling sorry for yourself, even if a tiny bit of a pity party is necessary every now and then.

I have questions about the estate agent that didn’t nix these.

Also when I want to tell a silly joke about how ridiculous something-or-other going wrong is I would like abled folks to appreciate the excellent absurdity instead of freaking out over the scary.

Personally speaking I feel this also helps with keeping my cool. The person I’m talking to might be unreasonable and awful, but they’re not who matters most, and so losing my temper with *them* just wastes time and energy I could be using to better express myself and reach those who do matter.

People who make music tend to like music. Music you love is fun to make whether you wrote it or not.

Deescalation is fine. But you can’t effectively deescalate when the situation is “you” and “several thousand anonymous people with whom you cannot possibly engage with individually”. It is, quite literally, impossible.

My partner had to quit because it was having intolerable interactions with a hiatus hernia and causing unmanageable constant nausea and boy has it not been great for their ADHD, so, sympathy.

(The current NHS attitude to pain management is AWFUL - they would like to take my pain medication away! I would like to keep what function I have left! We are not getting along! - but god I’m so happy I don’t have to add those tests too, you have no idea, and I’m sorry they’re making you.)

… just out of curiosity which are the two.

(Also if I had to do urine tests twice a year… Look, it’s not a big Medical Trauma, but I started refusing those without a good explanation that didn’t include “we need to check for pregnancy” roughly a year in to not yet getting diagnosed with POTS.)

I love mine but failed to predict that some vendors would make them with the tiniest heating rings imaginable, which some dickhead then sold to my parents, and thus will never recommend one again lest fate be tempted twice. At least not without twenty anxiety-induced caveats.

Screenshot of youtube comment: @gonzoengineering4894 • 1 yr ago When I saw Roth with Van Halen, he did indeed stop the show for a bizarre rant. Even put on a short film on the same subject. What subject? How much he loves his dogs. This is what you could've been, Kiddo. 1.3k likes

Screenshot of youtube comment: @gonzoengineering4894 • 1 yr ago @LittleGreenSoldier I want to reiterate here that he did not show us his pets. He showed us a professionally filmed mini documentary about his pets. 289 likes

Found it! Kid Rock Trainwreckords video.

There’s a comment on one of the todd in the shadows videos describing going to one of Roth’s shows and there being a pause in the middle of it so Roth could show everyone a professionally filmed short documentary about his dogs, and honestly what better use for fame and riches than that.

They’ve been making Maersk sets since the 70s, apparently, so at this point it’s almost a Lego fan insider baseball sort of thing, if rather more unexpected than Space or Castle.

I’ve never liked it as a measure because I’ll happily eat almost any ingredient in the right situation but absolutely nobody, not even one single solitary person, who has ever been responsible for feeding me would describe me as easy to feed and not picky. Including me.

I got really obsessed with hong kong action films when I was tween-ish for that exact reason. The action was just so much more real and exciting! (And actually horribly dangerous but uh. Well, I was young.) I didn’t see a Western actioner that felt like that til I saw a clip of Fairbanks’ Zorro.

Back when J Kenji Lopez-Alt started doing videos during lockdown he was still living in San Francisco and his video for Garlic Noodles (a specific type) pretty heavily implied that it (and rice-a-roni) were mostly California foods. But it’s not like I can *check* from here. :p
