In the new Jurassic World, Chris Pratt uses a dark and unholy science to resurrect previously extinct forms of racism.
The Deep Ones grant him the dark power of communicating with the horrific entities known as "fredos"
When it comes to H.P. Lovecraft, it's always racism
Half the Elder Mythos stuff is just slurs with some extra letters
There's one monster thing that's literally the n word but lovecraft fans will say it had nothing to do with the fact that lovecraft was extremely, cartoonishly racist and named his cat "n----r man"
Me, as a kid: Oh wow, that's really close to the n-word, that's not cool
Me, now: Go ahead white boy, say it out loud and tell me that's not the n-word
How is "Yonkers" the name of a real place? It sounds like something Shaggy would say to Scooby Doo. Or the name of a third Warner brother in the Animaniacs.
even in 2012 Chris Pratt was too wealthy to need to find the post office by himself
the most italian-american guy i ever knew was back in my 20s. he had left NYC to come down to where i was (i always live in places that other places regard as "needing help" lol) to do some formal volunteer work coordinated through the catholic church. placements were like answering phones at a shelters, handing out PB&Js and water to unhoused people, reading to elderly people or children in libraries, etc. super basic stuff. non-evangelical, no preaching. the placement orgs weren't even catholic.... it was more like the church would cover housing and stipends for volunteers from around the US to come and volunteer at these places. regardless, i got the distinct impression he was pressured into it by his family, but he didn't want to say that part. to paint the picture of this guy, he literally would make women he was dating watch A Bronx Tale with him to "understand" who he was. thick accent, dumb, loud and just ridiculous as fuck. oh, and like routinely at the tanning salon. this was before jersey shore even.
anyway, in less than a month of a 4 month tour, he got into a spat with somebody at wherever his placement site was, because he was a hothead of course and got booted from his placement. so he then started "working" at a volunteer coordinating office. basically paper shuffle b.s., because none of the linked charities that took volunteers would take him. so this meatball decides to just start looking up pictures of hot babes on the internet all day and printing them out for himself. the boss/admin is like, "what are you doing? ink is expensive and this isn't a proper use of office supplies." the italian guy gets real heated, telling his boss to "back off" because it's not a big deal. it's not like they are naked, amiright? i think he even implied the boss was gay because who wouldn't want to put pin up girls around the office?
the guy had so little self-awareness, he is the one who told my friends and i the story assuming everyone present would take his side.
and that is the story of how an Meatball-American got fired and sent home from a volunteer job at a charity.
its like he saw the dictionary entry for "guido" and thought "that's me, that's got to be my calling"
There was an Italian American kid in my high school a year older than me whose nickname was literally Guido.
No joke, it was what he wanted to be called.
I don't even know what his real name is. Wait, maybe that was his real name.
Hawaii van living hippie turns into conservative shit stain
There's a lot of em here on the islands folks
He lived on the beach in a van for a few years before going back to holy woods
Is that tweet real?
It's extremely racist, obviously. Am I having a stroke?
I guess I understand if it was meant satirically, but even then, this obviously shows the dangers of satire. In that this is, or was, a very real and offensive stereotype. I'm not going to bat for Italy or Italians in general, but rather that we mustn't hold past sins against individuals. The current people of Italy are not to blame for past damages, just as descendents are not to blame for being Italian. We must judge each by the character and convictions, not by their spaghetti.
"The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb."
We are bound comrades. Skin, blood, flesh, all are meaningless. It is a consciousness of togetherness that binds us. Each of us toils away in our individual lives, but we each recognize the struggle we face individually as the same struggle, together we may conquer this for a better tomorrow. Our shared experience and knowledge will guide our collective future to true prosperity. This is our world and we will retake it.
It's obviously real, what do you think? that someone would lie in the internet?
No, that's impossible. You don't think someone would actually do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies? The immorality of it!
on my personal twitter half of my tweets are pretty just this
