Shit that you overheard during Thanksgiving (2021)

My father-in-law once told me about getting into street fights with zainichi (ethnic Koreans and Chinese) during his youth in post-war Japan. He was apparently a brass knuckles guy, because we found a couple when we cleared out his stuff after he died.
My grand-dad had a set of those, although they were steel. They didn't belong to him, but to his own dad, my great-grandfather, who was for a time a sheriff's deputy. They had a different style of law enforcement back then.

On-topic tax: a bunch of boomers at today's Thanksgiving dinner watched this commercial during I think the Michigan/Ohio game:

They all have Facebook and were universally of the opinion it was complete shit, and someone called Zuckerberg a hooknose.

Normally gotta tune out some Fox News (and I'm not kidding, it's always prefaced with "I saw it on Fox") talking points over the food while I just smile stupidly and keep eating, but this year was pretty apolitical. Guess my aunt having started chemo mellowed everyone out.

Wow that ad is... a real piece of work. Why of course, that's EXACTLY the demographic blend you'll see in a typical art museum. And the monkeys at 0:30-0:33 are totally racist in Current Year!

I think this girl's face sums up my reaction pretty well.

Take away the people and the fact that it's anything to do with that droid faced gimp and his bid to take over the world, it's alright.
The bit with the zoomers reminded me of the record shop scene in Human Traffic.
We did it better tho, obvs.
Fuckin' cultural appropriating twats
 
(Insert Eurorangutan Sperging)

Sometimes while searching through the archives of old Kiwifarms threads you find a fossilized piece of shit so rich in seethium and copium that you gotta resurrect the conversation like a digital Frankenstein just so the good people can see how not to live their lives.

The decayed remains of thousands of Elite Napoleonic War British Veterans, plus their ships, lay like barnacles under the shores of New Orleans and Plattsburg along with the economies, industries, and culture of Western European nations after 1918. Confusion as to why our soldiers don't all drop like flies during a war like their armies tended to do every half a decade, continues to perplex their Neanderthal minds. Hiding behind the American side of the Iron Curtain has also made them too impotent and out of touch with reality for them to even begin an attempt at reconstruction of their relatively short-lived World Empires—an inglorious end to such a brief off-shoot of stolen Roman culture. It gives me great disappointment to point out that the Indians managed to preserve their joke of an ancient civilization in a more intact modern-day state.

The Marshal Plan could rebuild your cities, the Federal Reserve could bail you out every five years, and even the Military protect you from waves of Communist bugmen. What we can't do is save you from yourselves. Self-immolation is just now a core part of the Euro character.

Don't call it a grave, it's the future you chose.
