Finally catching up on both seasons of the Witcher show if anyone here actually cares about old superman video game spoilers:

The bard character is loving insufferable. I cannot stand him. He's a grandstanding piece of poo poo. I used to waffle back-and-forth if, were I DnD character, would I be a bard? And no, oh god no, I hate bards. I'd be a warlock or cleric, patron Hashem, or some poo poo. I cannot stand that character. We're caught up to the episode that ends with him screaming and a broken lute sound, then a sad shot of his broken lute, and I pray that's the last we see of him and he's just dead.

We don't talk about Bruno is the most un-catchy song I've ever heard (I heard it today for the first time). It's the Macklemore of Disney songs.

Bonus: there is zero practical difference in all the various alleged American "styles" of BBQ. They all taste exactly the same to a normal adult human being: unpalatably sweet.

I like how every picture of a donut or whatever gets 40 000 American comments about diabetes but then they all actually do get diabetes from just their regular food, not desserts, because it's literally full of sugar. (That and they call burnt-coffee-flavoured sugar water "coffee".)

e: I don't like them getting diabetes, because in the US it's a deadly disease.

if they all taste identical to you, it's not because you're an adult, and you need to take a covid test friend.

PHUO: euros trying to dunk on US food is always hilarious.

my cousins from the land where you can buy packaged processed sliced brioche: ew american food is always so sweet

the same people when they come visit: oh putain can i get a second helping of brisket please?

my cousins in the USA: black coffee? can i at least get a latte? what is this? way too bitter.

French food and US food are both really good. So many yummy things. Alsace blasts it out the park by also having german stuff. The best food in the world is the merger of all of them plus west african into créole. There I said it.

Creole is hands down the best food. It’s not even a contest. Hearty, flavorful, well spiced. It’s the definition of “stick to your ribs” comfort food.

I’ve been meaning to try more Alsace dishes, but there’s no restaurants by me that specialize in it. Might just have to take a trip to France to try it out properly.

I don't care about student debt in the US. Sure, it should be cancelled, but it's faaaaaaaaaaaaaaar down on the list of things that matter. I'm really really sorry your six figures of debt means you live slightly less comfortably, my six figure medical debt (unlike the debt you voluntarily took on) is like that except I didn't choose it and I'm not getting an office job out of it. Student debt is the white collarest privilegest poo poo to complain about when people talk about cancelling debts.

There are a lot of good reasons student debt matters but that is a long boring argument

Mainly the gist of why student debt should be canceled is that the us government has literally infinite money and it makes no sense for anyone to make payments to it instead of that money going toward other people

You don't have to think it's some huge justice issue. You don't have to feel sorry for debtors. Just think of it as a free way to inject a trillion and a half dollars into the actual productive economy

btw if I read that right and you have a bunch of medical debt then that sucks and it should be canceled and also the entire concept of medical debt is bonkers

The credentials debt racket targets people whose brains haven't fully developed or have accrued experience about what those credentials are worth before saddling them with the debt, and I don't know what use it is to have poor debtors disparaging other poor debtors except to ensure that no debt on poor people is cancelled.

I'm pretty sure 99% of people who complain about student loan debt are also in favor of getting rid of medical debt too.

Also a lot of student debt is owned by the government so the President could just snap his fingers and dust it without even having to involve Congress or try to get a bill passed, like you would for medical debt.

But yes, forgive all debt.

The people who complain about “trauma dumping” are just the worst. A person opening up to you shouldn’t be treated as a burden, and it’s kind of sociopathic to declare that it’s wrong and selfish to tell people your past hurts

I'll agree with this with the caveat that it is a burden to dump that onto cashiers or bank tellers or any other retail workers that basically have no way out of a conversation with you.

Or people who just came in the pub at 16½ straight off the bus from work and are mid-way through their first pint of the day, while you have been sat there ever since it opened at 9.

I know this isn't what they meant, but I really don't want to hear a poo poo-faced racist taxi driver* telling me how they had to lie to their son that they were dying of testicular cancer just to get to see them** while I'm trying to recover from 7½ hours of SAP.

When I worked retail I just assumed the people doing that were really really lonely and would cap them off at about 3 minutes with a "well, it was nice meeting you" and either walking away or waving over the next customer. Never had anyone get huffy or upset about it, thankfully.

The person I saw most recently complain about trauma dumping was complaining that a family member talked about their past complications during pregnancy

I don’t love when I’m working as a cashier and someone wants to keep talking to me but that’s usually because I have a customer waiting behind them
