i remember this happening to me in maastricht and i got so devastated... why is hot chocolate outside of spain like that :(
[translation of the tweet:
>I want a hot chocolate
>I ask the waitress if the chocolate they have is chocolate a la taza or colacao (idk how to translate this)
>She doesn't understand. I show her a diagram explaining what's chocolate a la taza and what is colacao
>She laughs and says 'it's a good chocolate'
>I ask for one
>It's colacao]
For reference, here is chocolate a la taza (what we understand hot chocolate is) vs colacao / nesquik (what they understand hot chocolate is in other countries, here is a very common breakfast)
#im so sorry for you in italy if i asked for hot chocolate and the barista gave me fucking nesquik id kill everyone and then myself#<- prev tags i'm cosigning#i love me some nesquik but if any bar tried to pull this on me i'd badmouth them forever

Laptops are always so much more Fucked than phones in my experience. A laptop is like a beautiful horse that wants nothing more than to break all of its legs. A decently solid android phone will act normal
#the upside is that laptops can be frankensteined into coming back to life. maybe they come back different but they can escape death#once a phone's dead it's dead#unless all they need is cosmetic surgery ig (changing a broken screen)

you’re telling me the term gerrymandering literally came from a dude named gerry and the word salamander?? because when he drew the boundary it look like a salamander?? that’s like how you name fucking pokémon what? evil weapon of non democracy and it’s called bobxolotl.
#i can imagine people looking at that saying 'yeah that's the gerry salamander. the gerrymander if you will'#very tumblr etymology except it's 19th century

Per il Capodanno di Cagliari avevano proposto un concerto della Rappresentante di Lista in piazza Yenne (target: IO) + altre piazze con Tazenda (per il target "mia mamma") e rapper sardi (per il target giovani nenni/gaggi/grezzi)
E invece hanno deciso di essere fedeli al target più importante, gli uomini che "la musica era meglio quando ero giovane io [quarant'anni fa]", e scongelare il batterista dei Police. Neanche una reunion con tutti i Police, o un concerto di Sting che è comunque un nome famoso e avrei capito, no solo il batterista.
#che per carità se sei un fan nello specifico dei police potrà anche essere un evento eh ma a noialtri francamente......#il concerto di un settantaduenne batterista di una band sciolta quando mia madre aveva vent'anni mi pare un po' fuori tempo massimo#ok che siamo nella periferia della periferia dell'impero però dai#puoi invitare qualcuno di più locale e meno pensionabile#sto rosicando perché è il secondo concerto di fila de LRDL nell'isola che salta? sì.

the first law of tragedies: the end is already written and inevitable. the second law of tragedies: your actions are all your own and you can choose to get off this ride whenever you want. the third law of tragedies: we both know that you are never going to do that.

Anyway, on fera jamais mieux que ce graphique du LA Times.
#this is funny#btw the unspoken rule is just 'vous is for signaling respect to an authority figure'#which is why you don't use it if you want to tell your boss to fuck off (no respect) or if you were a 60s hippie (no belief in authority)#and why you definitely should use it w/ your much-younger-than-you teacher!#(this is also 1:1 to Italian lei/voi)

What's that bro? You began interacting with a media from a different country than yours and/or was made in time period different than the recent present day? Haha that's sick bro! Keep expanding your horizons bro! You're remembering to take into account that sociocultural norms, gender roles and genre expectations are different from what you are used to and meeting the story halfway, instead of forcibly superimposing your ideals into the story, right bro? Right? Right?

One of the most important things to unpack and unlearn when you’re part of a white supremacy saturated society (i.e. the global north) and especially if you were raised in an intensified form of it (evangelicism, right wing politics, explicit racism) is the urge to punish and take revenge.
It manifests in our lives all the time and it is inherently destructive. It makes relationships and interactions adversarial for no good reason. It undermines cooperation and good civic order. It worsens some types of crime. It creates trauma, especially in children.
Imagine approaching unexpected or unacceptable behavior from a perspective of "how can this be stopped, and prevented" instead of "you’re going to regret this!”
Imagine dealing with a problem or conflict from the perspective of “how can this be solved in a way that is just and restorative” instead of “the people who caused this are going to pay.”
How much would that change you? How much would that have changed for you?
#this got MUCH worse in the last ~10 years btw.#coincidentally aligns w/ the worsened economic and political conditions and the rise of fascism#who'd have thought!#as if people can feel their social power slipping and go into this defensive/aggressive mode to feel in power again#feel like the victim so you can feel justified in your aggression (classic fascist!)#(note: i'm not saying ppl who behave like this are fascist - i'm saying the fascist m.o.s are spreading and it's really noticeable)
