It pisses me off when Europeans say things like: Eh, the brekkafast? Pfffft. It is noting. One cappuccino. Maybe square of dark-a chocolate. Maybe one biscotti I share-a with mi Nona, and even she say, “Giuseppe, you eat-a like hog in-a the shit. The minute you see-a da biscotti, your face become stupid. Not hungry. Stupid like farm animal hearing the bucket. No more biscotti for you, Giuseppe. It is time to make-a da ravioli for da village. One ravioli for entire village.” We are not like-a you Americans, with the pancake, the syrup, the Costco, the cheese from-a the can—it go spssssht, like this: SPSSSHT—onto what? Onto another cheese? You eat-a the brekkafast from the bucket, in the car, on the way to second brekkafast. This is Tuesday for you. The bread is cake. The cake is brekkafast. The brekkafast is soup. The soup is cereal. The cereal is blue. Why. What is this Costco you love? A city? A man? I do not know. You are always going there. You go to the Costco, you come-a back, you are crying, you don’t know why, you have purchased 40 pounds of shrimp. For what. For who.
@JimSmith9914@larroumecj Well no such thing exists out West, no Korean church style center. People actively push back if I answer French, even if we are clearly talking about ethnicity not place of birth, though they wouldn't do the same to English, Polish, whatever
@AuronMacintyre The only people I know that do this are doing it as a stress response to avoid work they hate that is kind of objectively lame and inhuman. They would all benefit from having more time with their friends, family, mental health, and whatever actually interests them.
@AuronMacintyre This eliminates exactly the people who have written books or have made a lot of art. Mozart died in debt. This punishes the exception for fear of the common denominator.
@larroumecj@prophet_na40829 AI will change education completely. Anecdotally, in America, there are both women and men on both left & right who are seriously yearning for the "trad lifestyle." Many recognize "education" has become a mill to turn women to martinets w expertise in mainly grievance studies.
