I like the effort of themed sandwiches, but the actual sammich composition looks pretty goddamn sad. Packaged ham slice, american cheese, and miracle whip sad.



A friend went to a conference and the lunch menu said "deli sandwich" for the entree. When inquiring which toppings were included in a Deli Sandwich, they were met with an eye-roll "it's a deli sandwich (...idiot)" response from the kitchen staff. Is that what I'm looking at? Horse deli sandwiches with crust cut off? These are the things that keep me up at night.

I may be from a part of the country that doesn't know what a de-facto deli sandwich is but I'm curious.

quote:

This last injustice brought Contat to the theme of cats. They occupied a special place in his narrative and in the household of the rue Saint-Séverin. The master's wife adored them, especially la grise (the gray), her favorite. A passion for cats seemed to have swept through the printing trade, at least at the level of the masters, or bourgeois as the workers called them. One bourgeois kept twenyfive cats. He had their portraits painted and fed them on roast fowl. Meanwhile, the apprentices were trying to cope with a profusion of alley cats who also thrived in the printing district and made the boys' lives miserable. The cats howled all night on the roof over the apprentices' dingy bedroom, making it impossible to get a full night's sleep. As Jerome and Léveillé had to stagger out of bed at four or five in the morning to open the gate for the earliest arrivals among the journeymen, they began the day in a state of exhaustion while the bourgeois slept late. The master did not even work with the men, just as he did not eat with them. He let the foreman run the shop and rarely appeared in it, except to vent his violent temper, usually at the expense of the apprentices.

Among their most popular new services is the Pinkerton Dedicated Professional, in which agents join a client’s company like any other new hire, allowing them to provide intel on employees. By 2018, the agency said it could count among its clients about 80 percent of Fortune 1,000 companies.

You'd think they'd want to rebrand as something inoffensive and bland like "Burns Security Solutions" or something. Securitas is clearly going full cyberpunk.

It's gonna be funny as gently caress when they all get whacked by terrorists dressed like Die Antwoord.

Yes, as if delis do not produce lots of different kinds of sandwiches with different meats, cheeses, vegetables, condiments, and breads.

Unless you're in Brumbelch, Nebrahoma. There the only option is Wonder Bread, a Kraft Single, and some bologna.

My family is weird for sure, but no one in my family has had a baby shower. The women only thing is absolutely the tradition, to the point that MRAs rant about it on the internet and people will specifically say that a baby shower is co-ed.

So the MRAs WANT to be invited to baby showers? :psyduck: Because when I finally started getting invited to baby showers it was the only time I've ever jokingly thought 'maybe gender equality has gone too far'. Would be more than happy to let the ladies keep the exclusivity on that one.

At every baby shower I've been to the only guys were the ones forced along by their significant others and everyone was bored. There's usually some form of free food though so at least it isn't a complete waste of time

They want to be invited, but probably don't want to actually go.

And generally I think baby showers are a good and useful tradition. It's all about passing on experience and wisdom, and even the more consumerist side of it tend to result in practical gifts, unlike birthdays/Christmas/basically every other celebration

Yeah I don't enjoy going to them but I'm absolutely down for having one because baby poo poo is expensive and I'll take as many handouts as I can get. Not sure but do gender reveal parties come with free carseats and poo poo too?

I actually don't know, it isn't something that's caught on outside of the US yet afaik

Again I generally don't mind people finding reasons to gather friends/family and celebrate, since after most people are married the only time you really get everyone together like that is at funerals, but gender reveals seem particularly obnoxious to me for some reason. Maybe it's the aggressive heteronormativity of it idk

I guess it depends on who's coming and whether or not you use the opportunity to invite over all your worst relatives and replace the big reveal moment with a "PSYCH gender is a social construct bitches our kid is a person above all else"

All the ones I've ever heard about were put on by clearly very right-wing people (probably because they gently caress it up in funny ways so I hear about it but still) and the whole thing reeks of something, but I'm not sure what. Maybe some kind of het couple equivalent of toxic masculinity? A celebration of all the weird conservative gender norms they always seem to involve like blue / pink, or whatever the gently caress those fonts were doing with that horse one?

gently caress maybe I'll do this with our next kid. Everyone gathered around excitedly as I pull the cord to reveal the banner on which they all expect "it's a boy/girl!" but instead it says "seminar on the social construction of gender" and I ask them to all take their seats so we can begin.

I was about to say you could do it right by changing the big reveal to something like "PENIS OR VAGINA?" but then you'd have to call it a "sex reveal party" which is a completely different and much more fun kind of party

It's a reactionary ritualizing the imposition of gender norms on the kid before it's born (the polar opposite of a "no gender" birth cert eg) and celebrating the blood purity of the nation or some such on top of capitalist frivolity.
