why did the italian restaurant give him a gun instead of a meatball marinara......

They didn’t the meme is fake to trick people. he didn’t get a sandwich he shot himself in the news because he got accused that he was doing embezzlement and was in trouble so he just took out a gun from the bag and killed himself but not from an Italian restaurant he just brought it from home

i feel like he would’ve had a better time with a meatball sub to be perfectly honest

for real when you gotta choose between a gun and a meatball sub 9/10 you would have a better time with the meatball sub

Damn that’s fucking crazy. Hey quick question what was one of the most deranged narratives during the β€˜24 campaign, what bigotries did it synthesize, and what was the role of the NYT (and the media more broadly) in amplifying and legitimizing both those bigotries and that narrative. We’re all looking for the guy who did this I’m sure

You don’t hate journalists and editors enough

this is kind of exactly why these tests are bullshit lol. they’re not accurate, they’re based on loosely aggregated data and fundamentally DNA cannot really tell us much about things like ethnicity and CULTURE

when my aunt got one done it said we’re Indonesian rather than Chinese. But like. my family has cultural ties to China we can trace back centuries. that’s what I grew up with. We have understood ourselves as Chinese for generations upon generations. I don’t really know much about Indonesian culture outside of what I’ve learned from friends. On a personal level, I have no connection to it at all. Is it possible my family has some degree of genetic connection to Indonesia? Sure, I guess? It simply doesn’t matter though. It would be absurd for me to call myself Indonesian and stop identifying with my Chinese culture just because of the results of one of these tests.

Which, btw, also applies to identifying as Native off the back of these results! That’s not how that works, folks!

For what it’s worth, my aunt’s results caused no turmoil in my family. Everything else was more or less what we expected, and all of us agreed the inaccuracies were silly and would not impact our lives at all

If i may add on to this, dna tests present a very racist view of how nations actually work. Like dna tests work under the assumption that each nation is all full of the same, im not sure what term to use here, ethnicity maybe? It ignores how a lot of countries tend to integrate many different ethnicities. Like there are multiple ethnicities in china that arent han chinese people. Are they less chinese then? There are ethnic han chinese people who lived in Malaysia going back generations, are they any less Malaysian? Dna test can only at best twll you who you share dna with, it as ndnbutch said, cannot tell you what your culture and heritage is.

I can't believe Candles of Vienna caved to commercial pressure and added the Goku expansion.
