Basically the family was in town shortly after Doug (the grandson's) Bar Mitzvah. I was friends with a lot of older kids, so at this point I had been to a Bar, Bat, or Bene Mitzvah once a month or so for two years and I knew most of the words, but Grandpa went over them with me. Aw, that's awesome, dude!

Im a born jew who was only semi-sometimes-religious. I loved being a jew but had so many questions. I am now a recently converted orthodox christian. Which will get me owned by someone I’m sure. But gently caress it. I believe. My church is staffed by a trans woman priest and has lgbtq orthodox kid meetups, we get threatened by armed evangelical gunmen sometime just like the ol Schulz back in Texas. Eh. Just wanted you to know, Hashem doesn’t care about your ethnicity or religion or gender or belief. (Hashem might judge you for all the shrimp, cheeseburgers, and mixed fabrics, but like not forever.) He will love you. And if I’m wrong. Even though he’s a dickhead. Theology is complicated and it’s for the Reddit atheist to land sick owns instead of understanding. And if Hashem does punish one of us, it will be me. He will definitely love being owned. Sorry if that lands too heavy but I just want to make clear, your rabbi is correct. E: Jewish holidays I found far far fancier than my goy friends trees and toys, except for really wanting the toys. Orthodox rite holidays are far fancier than the evangelical christian holidays I knew, because it’s a functional solemn event with food and not just waiting around for toys and dry nasty steak and Pastor Diddler to give his sermon about how Jesus is just like Anakin Skywalker. People take it seriously. It’s just different. And no uncles invited to go off about how we’re all about to become gay communists from twitch and the vaccine.

Wooden doors with panels. Our entry door was metal and the interior doors were flat, so paneled doors were super fancy.

Laserjet 4P posted:An aboveground pool like this in your backyard: I dunno how much much those things cost new, but we found a kit at a garage sale for not too much money. I guess it did require having some amount of usable lawn space and a lot of water, but it was definitely way more feasible than I ever imagined having a pool to be beforehand. It was great to have, though, even if it wasn't huge, it was great for cooling off or hanging out with a couple friends.

Buttchocks posted:Saturday morning anime shows. I kept watching them even though they were boring and incomprehensible because I thought maybe I just wasn't old enough to appreciate how sophisticated they were. Nope, they were boring and incomprehensible. Those shows turned me into probably the only goon who hates anime with a passion. I haven't seen these in years, but I envied the houses that had initials on their screen doors:  Ditto on house numbers posted in words rather than digits:

When I was a kid, Stella Artois had a series of ads pushing an upmarket image with the tagline "reassuringly expensive". And that's how I thought of it until I was old enough to drink and found everyone else called it "wife-beater".

Are you in the states? Apparently the image is complete different because the only ads I've ever saw for it were it being classy and brits have the opposite which is hilarious

the uk also gets "stella is classy" adverts. it's just it used to be stronger than other macro lagers (5ish% vs 4ish%) and thus got the reputation of being something that a) gets you drunker and makes you beat your wife, and b) is drunk by those who want to get really drunk and beat their wife after the big 2008 financial crash they reduced it to 4%, and now it's just A Beer

Heineken went the other way and tried to portray itself as the beer of the people by doing a My Fair Lady parody where a posh lady talks common after drinking it. At time of posting, Heineken is 29p a litre more expensive in Tesco. Britain is a silly place. e: the vid in question https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uz9_YfIQaz4

About ten years ago, Stella/their parent brand had a free massive event in DC that was basically “look how cool, trendy, and high class this brand is!”. They rented out The Building Museum which probably was like $50k at least just for the venue rental for the night, and had multiple DJs, photo booths, and a pouring competition where they highlighted that pouring Stella is a ritual, and has its own little knife to skim the head off as the final step or some poo poo. It was great and I got to drink a bunch of free beer and pretend I was fancy, but knowing that it’s a trash beer outside of America made it extra great

I remember being amazed too to hear that Stella is called wifebeater in the UK. I'm from Australia. On the subject of Heineken trying to be classy, I remember they started doing ads where loving James Bond orders a Heineken. I mean honestly. That feels like taking the piss.

Stella used to run some extremely cringeworthy commercials where the vessel it was poured into was referred to as a chalice.

Chalices are goblets made by the swamp Germans or swamp French. Fully accurate and like Stella only sounds fancy to a child. E. I think the swamp French are most to blame here with chalice being the Latin choice for footed mug. A swamp German probably more likely to remind you of their ancient dumbassery by giving you a tulip. zedprime has a new favorite as of 22:41 on Jan 16, 2024 |
