Sure, we could just be imagining the incest vibes, but I can't help but feel that it's sorta racist to claim Folgers as "real coffee" when he just got back from a foreign country where they probably grow coffee.

And look, it's a video with a Big Money Salvia comment:

quote:

His eyes moved to the red ribbon she had planted on his right pectoral muscle. He saw something in her eyes when she touched him. A recognition of firmness. After all, he was toned to perfection from weeks of rebuilding a church in Rokoray, along the northern banks of the Great Scarcies River. He had met a woman there who reminded him of his sister. He cared for her, taught her a fledgling example of English, had even found himself feeling love for her. That was not a sisterly love however. Then again… was this? He began to open his mouth. Any moment his parents would walk downstairs. The look on her face said they were on the same channel. Everything he had just thought, she heard it. He spoke. “Listen, when mom and dad go out to say hi to the Gelsons next door tonight, let’s hang back, go upstairs and gently caress the poo poo out of each other.” “What?” She answered, bewildered. “C’mon let's do it. Let’s gently caress. Haven’t we always wanted this?” He reached out to reassure her, but she pulled away, fear in her eyes. “Whoa whoa. Uh no I’m just happy you’re home from Africa. What the hell are you talking about wanting to gently caress me? Are you seriou--” And like a blade being hammered on the anvil, his father’s voice rang out from behind him: “WHAT IN SAM HILL IS GOING ON HERE?” “I can explain…” he stammered, but was cut off by the visceral scream from his mother as she began sobbing into her bathrobe. His father erupted, white morning spittle shooting from the corners of his mouth. “NO SON OF MINE IS GONNA DRINK loving FOLGERS COFFEE!” He belted his son in the face, knocking the boy unconscious. “THIS IS A PEETS COFFEE HOUSE!” Drink Peets Coffee.

There's a lot of stories about how everyone from bus drivers to teachers to factory workers in Nazi Germany found that they were at risk of losing their jobs unless they joined the Nazi party; this led to a lot of issues in post-war Denazification because they realized that you couldn't just eject every Nazi party member from their jobs without the whole country collapsing.


In my opinion they should all have been shot and Germany returned to the insane clusterfuck HRE borders.

Basically if you were a Goy and not already in a camp by 1938 you were basically probably a Nazi in practice.

I spent 2 years in Java and you couldn't get real coffee there, it was all exported to the west and all you got was lovely instant coffee. I'd imagine other coffee growing countries are pretty similar.

That was painful listening to Ira Glass give the retraction.

I don't know what happened in the background of all that, but This American Life really hasn't seemed the same since around that time. Maybe they couldn't manage the loss of Torey Malatia.

Neo-nazis are really into codes and dogwhistle poo poo that only those in the know will get. Like they love Lonsdale shirts because when you wear a jacket over them it blocks out the letters at the back and front leaving nsda which is just one letter off from being NSDAP. Also all that numerology bullshit with 14/88.

Yet at the same time a lot of them have obvious and highly visible Nazi tattoos. They like to have their cake and decorate with a huge swastika too.

Not sure if it's a coincidence, but the NSDA are the smallest letters in the Lonsdale logo.

I like this tweet. It's a good reminder to people that these large companies can and are tracking every single little thing that you do. Not much you can do about it really but like, just be mindful how much info/power you give them.
Spotify knows you've repeated Aqua's album several times in a row, Amazon knows you keep looking at that stupid kitchen appliance, your bank knows you go to the gas station every Tuesday afternoon, your phone provider can map out pretty much everywhere you've been over the last year.

A little late, so this might get buried. But one summer I was going through an episode of depression and I wasn't working as I was on break from college and waiting until I moved back to my college town to start again. I ended up doing nothing but watching Netflix, and after I finished the office in something like 5 - 10 days, I don't quite remember, I received an email from Netflix asking if I was okay. They had noticed that I had my account running non-stop for over a week and they wanted to check on me and make sure I was doing well since my viewing activities became so much more frequent than they used to be. Honestly made me feel better just knowing that someone, even a stranger working at a customer support agency, cared about my mental health.

The account was probably flagged for possible terms of service violations, like account sharing or screen recording.

On GA-400 that leads north out of Atlanta there's a city called Cumming, GA. Just off the highway, right before you reach the exit for Cumming, there's a Siemens branded water tower.

So how do you know you've reached Cumming? When you see the Siemens.


Down the street from the water tower there's an intersection with a BJ's Wholesale and a Dick's Sporting goods.



e: it's not the Siemens water tower anymore nooooooo
