  • They had a complex relationship. Some episodes had them against each other, some, they worked together, some, they were doing other things.

    I watched many of them and was surprised it wasn't just Tom v Jerry.

    No, I've been wanting Tom to catch that little shit Jerry for years now. Smug little fucker.

  • Although I'm not a big fan of coconut I think I'm gonna give it a try. Thank you for an idea.

    Try coconut chicken curry. It's my absolute favorite.

  • The pie sounds pretty good actually. Do you think that this would be easy to make for an amateur like me?

    As desserts: cannelés, bretzels. As main meals I've got in mind: pie with apples and camembert, crumble of chicken, salad of wheat with tomatoes, limon, olives, onions (so fresh in summer).

  • Done.

  • Maybe? I dunno, maybe it's easier to find out that way.

    This is feeling very Hunger Games now.

    Some things we do.

    • Bring the extended family together. People sometimes travel long distances to do so.

    • Eat thanksgiving food: Turkey, Mashed Potatoes, Stuffing, Gravy, Cramberries, Pumpkin Pie, etc.

    • Have a discussion about what we are thankful for.

    • Watch or sometimes play American Football

    • Wake up early for Black Friday the next day, where stores hold special sales and we trample each other trying to get the hottest new product before supplies run out.

    • Take off for the rest of the weekend. In my experience, that weekend is often spent putting up Christmas decorations.

    Basically the beginning of the Christmas shopping season, where stores offer huge savings and people go completely batshit and loose their minds more than when Apple releases a new iPhone.

    Thanks! Uh, what is Black Friday?

  • Wow, this is so weird. Culture tells you when to buy things? Like corporations and companies organize to make people buy at certain moments of the year? Some times are specifically meant to buy? And this is part of a culture? Wtf

  • A day where stores offer huge discounts across all of their items. Which means an incredibly packed store with some of the shittiest human beings stealing carts and beating each other up over the newest HDTV.

  • I can't figure out why 95% of Wattpad writers don't know basic grammar.

    I can't figure out why cringy and cheesy pairing stories on Wattpad are popular but pairing stories that are actually good aren't so popular?

  • 'Consumerism'

  • Now just something strange came into my mind. Both Uncharted The Lost Legacy and Life is Strange Before The Storm share very similar details:

    • Both are spin-offs
    • Both protagonists are named Chloe and both are fan-favourites
    • Both games are going to be released in August

    Coincidence?

  • Tom did nothing wrong.

    No, I've been wanting Tom to catch that little shit Jerry for years now. Smug little fucker.

  • It's truly absurd. Saddest thing is that it's slowly overtaking the actual holiday of Thanksgiving and makes the whole weekend hell for anyone who works retail.

  • It's a holiday devoted to capitalism and everything that's wrong with it.

    OK so in some way my friend saw the Avengers Infinity War Leaked Trailer(yup she saw it alright) and i tried not to watch it but she begged me to watch it and I think I'm looking forward to this film and I CAN'T WAIT NO LONGER!!!

  • To be honest, I've never been a huge fan of Thanksgiving, so that's not the part about Black Friday that bothers me. The reason I hate it is because of exactly what we see in the videos I posted above, people attacking others trying to get the best deals on a bunch of consumer shit. I get it, you want to save money and buy some expensive shit, but is it really worth broken bones and bodily injury for a new TV or game console. South Park made 3 episodes completely mocking Black Friday and the fervor behind it, at first, it looks like a huge exaggeration, every year though, it looks more and more like a realistic interpretation.

    I would argue it more as people's own sense of materialism and consumerism more than it being a problem with capitalism. Now the argument can be made that capitalism thrives on using these human desires to its advantage (and that's usually what capitalism comes down to, it's success/failure ultimately relies on the worst parts of humanity to benefit society, while socialism's success/failure relies more on the best parts of humanity to benefit society), however, it's ultimately the individual at fault, not necessarily the system. With capitalism, we voluntarily decide to engage in these actions, and it persists year after year because of the high demand. There's a quote I love by a man called George Gilder that goes, "The genius of capitalism, and only capitalism, is that it channels self-interest intro altruism." So is capitalism partly to blame, sure as it encourages behavior such as this, but I feel the blame lies more with the people than it does with the system.

    Re-reading this, my thoughts seem to be all over the place, apologies. It's late, it's been a long day, and I'm just tired and ready to go to bed.
