I've never had the pleasure of seeing anti-semitism in meme form before. Racism against black people and Muslims, yes, but never Jews.

When I was a bank teller I'd see tax refund checks from the 1%. Apparently if the government owes you enough money (like $60k) you actually get interest on it.

You probably get better at a CU with that kind of savings account though.

To be fair, few things on twitter are more cringe-worthy than an FYAD/weird twitter style joke that rips off the format but comes off awkward and sucks

Only because people take sports soooo seriously, and get annoyed if you don't watch it right or like the wrong team or something

I know enough about the sports people care about to always deliberately say I am cheering for the team nobody likes.

Racists like to blow the dog whistle at Cam Newton because he's black and has fun.

Other than that both teams were pretty cool and likeable. Aka not from Boston.

I've seen Holocaust deniers use memes as evidence. They also used Schindlers List, a FEATURE FILM with deliberate artistical choices, as proof that everything was made up because the movie wasn't 100% accurate, so clearly how could we know? I dunno they are literally the worst.

"Superb Owl" was a Colbert Report joke. It's probably disappeared since he's not doing it any more.

Tbh I find both of those chuckle worthy but maybe it's just because over here no one gives a gently caress about some US sport game airing in the middle of the night and thus I have never been bombarded by them.

I got invited to two different Superbowl viewing parties here in France last night :shrug:

I'm on vacation and I like football and all but I'm not staying up all night unless my team is playing and since I'm a Detroit fan that means it'll never happen.

I don't think I know a single person in my social circle actually caring about the super bowl :shrug: I think it gets a bit more popular in France over the last couple years but it's still very very far from mainstream and I'd wager your experience is more of an outlier.

"hey maybe it's a little alienating when everyone is talking about a dominant cultural thing that you know nothing about"

...FOR ONE NIGHT? This person can't tolerate being left out of the discussion of a cultural event FOR ONE NIGHT. I mean, yes, fine, there's discussion in the lead-up and all that, but uh, wow. Maybe it's just that I grew up Jewish on a continent that celebrates six weeks of Christmas, but surely you could just wait until the Super Bowl was over? Or follow the Audubon Society on twitter tweeting owl facts (A Good Superb Owl Joke) or the Royal Ontario Museum tweeting about historical bowl artifacts (A Good Super Bowl Joke) or do what I did and go to a Super Bowl party to eat snacks and hang out with friends?

Like, how fragile do you have to be that being left out of one event sends you into a tailspin of resentment?

Yeah, that got my goat, too. Trying to play the victim because you don't watch football?

gently caress, dude, just google it. Or ask one of the millions of people talking about it what it's all about. Or, I dunno, watch the goddamn game and see if you can figure out what's going on. Really, just do literally anything but pout because people are discussing something you haven't taken the (extremely minor amount of) time to learn about.

These are the type of people who feel proud of not watching sports like it's some counter culture thing at this point as opposed to a hobby or interest you just don't share with a lot of people.

I can understand feeling that way if you like grew up in a small southern town that totally revolves around highschool football and feeling alienated by that, but you can avoid the superbowl and people talking about it whenever you want. Unless the superbowl is in your city it's probably not going to creep up on you and force you to watch or discuss it

I need to be routinely reminded what a Grey Cup* is and can't remember if the Blue Jays are a hockey or a baseball team but that doesn't really impact my day-to-day. It's hardly alienating. On the other hand, I remember talking to my brother a while back and he lives in a super small town. He told me that some guys at work were talking about sports and one of his coworkers very sincerely called him a "loving human being" after my brother said he was more interested in Star Wars than professional sports, so maybe it's dependent on how aggressive other people are about knowing those sorts of things.

*: Is that what they win if they win the Superbowl? If I am right, I will be very proud of my own cultural literacy!

I was going to mention that, with just a few exceptions, sports fans are pretty happy to explain poo poo to you if you just ask. The only problem then is getting them to shut up before they feel you have memorized every statistic and detail of every play ever in the game.

There are the occasional assholes like that tho.
