My best friend in junior high was a big angry lunkhead who listened to Korn (circa 1997 - he as an early adopter of bad taste), but he was willing to watch this movie with me and found it hilarious and endlessly quotable.

The AV Club

I was boycotting them for crimes against frying chicken.

two of the items which have been discontinued are “lightly salted Lay’s barbecue potato chips and reduced-fat Jif peanut butter,” neither of which seem like deeply important core products.

A couple of weeks ago, while I was standing in my grocery store’s potato chip aisle and I realized that I lived in a country that could have an entire aisle devoted to chips but which can’t make enough paper masks.

Does this mean I’ll have to go back to mixing my own ketchup and mayo, because if so, just kill me now....

I am always amazed how many varieties of middling crap there are at the supermarket. I will be singing a different tune when they cull one of my favorite treats.

it is a chocolate croissant.

Now playing

Pain au chocolat. We’re civillised people. Do they have a raisintine in the South West? Should have kept my trap shut on that.

Well, to further throw confusion into the mix, an almond croissant is called Croissant aux Amandes. You also have Chausson aux Pommes (bread-thing filled with apples). But then, Pain aux raisins (spiral croissant with raisins).

I know little of French pastries and really only know french food from what I’ve learned watching Jacques Pepin but here’s my admittedly American take on it.

That’s one of the reasons I’m not fond of the American term ‘Native Americans’. I prefer (and my indigenous friends prefer) First Nations. (I’m in Canada, there are differences).

You should never use the term “spirit animal”. Not because of cultural appropriation but because it’s a basic-ass term used by basic-ass white women.

When did this fucking comment section become reddit? Take that shit somewhere people will be impressed by how “edgy” you are bro.

For whom is “spirit animal” a cultural term, though? The Natives i know (Northeast north america, mostly) have clans with animal totems, but they don’t hold those animals in particular reverence, nor do they equate “clan animal” with “spirit animal”, as the former is familial, and the latter, personal.

I want to

“Spirit animal” sounds like something white Americans thought up in the 1970s, like having a Sicilian play the Crying Indian.

Wait, do I have to be Italian to say “pizza is my spirit animal”?

First of all, I don’t give a shit about my Zodiac sign.

This guy was arguing the other day that if women don’t want to be raped they shouldn’t get drunk ever

You don’t think maybe there’s a problem with a term that has serious spiritual and cultural connotations for a historically oppressed people being used flippantly by white people to describe, for example, pizza? (I’ve seen people say “pizza is my spirit animal” in case you’re going to suggest that never happens.)
