yeah, because they're different things. that's like half the jokes in one of the best episodes of the sopranos-- the italian culture that the mob guys idolize doesn't exist and they don't like actual italian culture or italy.

When looking up how the gently caress you get gabagool from capicola I learned that a lot of it (and by extension American Italian culture) is a snapshot of the culture and language of the immigrants at the time, which were from the southern provinces of the peninsula. I have to phrase it that way as the modern Italy we know of stems from the control of the richer northern cities/states/whatever over the southern, which partially explains the level of immigration to the west.

But of course that culture shock can be played for laughs when you compare a gabaghoul to a svelte European man with a purse.

I honestly dgaf about social media. I just want a good way to aggregate news from a ton of sources with public commentary that isn't hot diarrhea in a juicebox.

Chaos Motor posted:

You see I really enjoy reading intelligent commentary from informed observers and insiders. It's the detritus of braindead idiots that will say anything to get fake internet points, copy-paste the dumbest poo poo you've heard in your life, or vomit up the worst dredges of human trash-thought in existence that turn me off. That's why I pretty much stopped interacting on reddit back in 2016 or so, I just logged tf out but kept coming back to read without interacting.

Yes. Literally all of it. Could do with dialing back the weird insecure femboy/egg garbage that's infested reddit the last few years. I honestly do not give a flying gently caress what you want to do with your genitals or who you want to do that with - you do you. I do not care to such an overwhelming extent I honestly don't want to hear about it. Some things are simply not to be advertised, and your opinions about your own wiener, or lack thereof, are usually in that group.

You don't have to talk about me like I'm not here.

I'm just saying the overwhelming femboy stuff on reddit the last few years, or how heavily their algo promotes it, has not made it more interesting to me. I'm there for news, not learning about strangers genitals. Investigations of strangers genitals is for redgifs.com.

yeah, it goes so far out of its way to de-glamorize the mob and people were still falling for it, lol.

again, the sopranos isn't really a mob show, it's a really dark workplace comedy.

Oh God yes. I spent six weeks on an archeological course and the professor was shocked when towards the end I mentioned I had ancestors from the area. Not shocked I was Irish American, shocked I hadn't been shouting about it loudly for the previous six weeks.
