Your furniture is nice, and your meatballs aren't anyone's first choice but no one really hates them. And all your people are either sexy blonde ladies or dudes in metal bands.

The thing about Canadian politeness is partly true. I've not seen other groups apologize for their foot being stepped on.

Karma Monkey posted:Oh wait, we're talking about food? Yea, Italian meatballs are ok I guess. A coordinated-looking (though maybe it wasn't) academic/corporate colonization effort successfully destroyed the "metal community" about a decade ago, and the events are invisible now. The colonial administration and what's left of the natives don't talk to each other—apartheid as unacknowledged status quo. There's no fight today because it was lost years ago. It's just denial and plowed-under bones. I mean, it's not tumblr obvious that for example this—what would become the source of the "folk metal is racist misogyny" story we saw here last week—was a victory dance on a mass grave. But that's what it was. The old culture is erased. The descendents of it don't know where they came from. How could they defend it? Defend what? Against whom? The metal press is uniformly anti-metal. All metalheads obediently hate metalheads. It's just suckers and grifters buying and selling silly music now, like the "native jewelry" trade in a tourist town. BigglesSWE posted:Do you attribute the destruction of the community to profit-seeking, or something else? Ideological and profit-seeking. This was not entirely relegated to metal, but rock in general. Ever notice the only thing you hear on the radio is either oldies or what I affectionately call "Bitch rock", as in whiny poo poo or Nickelback/Nickelback clones? In part this was because of how concentrated the power in the pop scene became, another part was a tool the critics employed called "rockism". Guess what they claimed it was rooted in?

 Doesn't allow "gun/killing/death game", calls husband "hubby". A loving turkey for the profile picture. Also probably allows them to watch wrestling despite this. Gee I cant quite conjure up a likely accurate image of that family, no not at all

Think you might be overreacting to that one. Wrestling probably isn't great for real tiny kids, but I can't really fault someone not wanting their kids below teen years to not play a game where you get extra points for headshots with a sniper rifle.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere, that Canadian law specifically says that apologizing is not an admission of guilt, because we just do it way too much and it was messing up court cases.

The stereotype I have of Swedes is that you are all blonde, naked, preturnaturally beautiful, and hanging around in saunas/hot tubs listening to ABBA after indulging in some wholesome wife swapping and everybody is friendly.

A parent actually paying attention to game ratings and content is kind of impressive. Granted we don't have context for any of that image, but I'd like to believe they're just trying to be responsible in not wanting to expose their kids to any overly graphic content.

Really Happy to have this thread back. Red is a constant stream of IOSM. Went to highschool with the guy, haven't really talked to him since graduation. All I know about the guy is he went to the military at some point, and now he is out and way too into crossfit.

WWE is lovely all together for many reasons and still isn't great in how it portrays women, minorities etc but it's been fairly PG for like a decade Edit: I will admit that people who call their husband "hubby" are the worst of the worst though.

He says he doesn't want to deport all Muslims, then agrees his metaphor means throwing out all the M&Ms. I was kind of disappointed the other person actually agreed with his sentiment, because the setup was perfect.
