Is that a loving bank bag? Amazing, considering the people its going to have gently caress all cash. edit: Nah I'm not buying it, too insanely ridiculous to be real, clearly a psyop to discredit Jack Monroe. keep punching joe fucked around with this message at 19:01 on Jan 12, 2021 |

The Question IRL posted:The thing about the SaTC reboot is Samantha (British actor Kim Catrell) isn’t coming back for it. Millennials already remade Sex and the City, took out the poo poo bits. It’s called the Bold Type. And nicked the better storylines. The actual SATC reboot will have to compete in ways the original never did.

Blueshirt posted:S&TC started out pretty cool and then turned into "4 impossibly rich monsters whine about their non-problems" before launching into absolute insanity with the movies, one of which was so insanely bad, classist and racist that it made Mark Kermode break down and sing the Internationale at a perplexed Simon Mayo. Yeah, this 10000%. It probably won't shock anyone here to know that Hadley Freeman is being wildly disengenuous and wilfully distorting everyone else's opinions in order to look like she has a point to make. It's the overwhelming critical opinion AFAICT that SATC became utterly poo poo and started existing in a weird and uninteresting navel gazing bubble of its own tropes, especially in the films, and that the second movie is just a badly put together film as well as being straight up racist and offensive. Arguing that it's largely (or based on her wording, entirely!) misogyny that is behind people comparing it unfavourably to the sopranos doesn't hold up at all. Privileged rich people not noticing how offensive and detached from reality they are, unable to comprehend that they come across as awful to the rest of the world, and certain that their tedious, unlikely dramas and opinions are the most interesting and enthralling thing in the world, somehow resonates with newspaper opinion writer Hadley Freeman for reasons that escape me.

One of my friends describes SatC as "three prostitutes and their mum" and I haven't been able to take it seriously since.

The giant tin of beans is wild, like how much loving beans would you have to eat? I like beans but I have never wanted to eat nearly a kilogram of them because the tin's that big. Is it beyond the government's ability to supply several normal tins?

The government is full of people who think the Sun photo stories are accurate depictions of how most people live and therefore include the beans as a treat for the parent(s)

Most of the replies are spot on but there are so many "be grateful, you get what you given, you can technically survive on that, in my day we had half a cup of flour for lunch and were happy" types.

Part of the amazement I have with the shittiness of the packages is their lack of uniformity. Who is out there getting someone to manually slice a pepper and tossing a half into two boxes? Why the odd variety of fruit and veg? It's got all the vibes of a food bank meets a village fete packed lunch for lack of dignity and coherence and it's maddening that anyone who is supposed to be responsible for this and hopefully possessing some sort of shame thought it was okay to put out there. Absolute bastards the lot of them. Also the whole £30 price tag - £5 delivered perfectly demonstrates the dynamics of outsourcing. The whole point of any private company doing that is that they maximise the difference between what they get paid and the cost of what they deliver to the end user and whether it's as obvious as this or not, that's what's happening.

They certainly look the part. Well some of them. Some are definitely coin bags. And food hygiene courses have some strong words to say about repackaging tinned goods.

The US uses those too I think, hence the phrase "a roll of quarters". I suppose they are perhaps more necessary in countries which do not have a tradition of using the coinage as a system of weights? Though yes I also agree that they seem much more sensible because you don't have to count when filling them. OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 20:30 on Jan 12, 2021 |
