holy fuck you guys

after years of being vaguely confused when I came across the measurement “a stick of butter” in recipes, today I learned that in the United States they sell butter in these skinny stick things:

it is literally a stick of butter. A STICK OF BUTTER.

i have literally never seen butter sold this way. each stick one only amounts to ½ a cup of butter AMERICANS PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT MY WHOLE LIFE WHEN I SAW THE PHRASE “A STICK OF BUTTER” IN RECIPES I WAS IMAGINING THIS:

THIS IS THE ONLY “STICK” I’D EVER SEEN BUTTER SOLD IN. I THOUGHT Y’ALL WERE THROWING FUCKIN’ POUNDS UPON POUNDS OF BUTTER INTO THINGS HOLY JESUS THE WORLD MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE NOW FUCKIN CHRIST.

I love little foreign confusion things like this

I mean, we do still put a fuck ton of butter in and on shit, so.

erroneous-logic

From now on, any time a recipe calls for a stick of butter, I shall interpret that as “1 Pound”

hell is right-clicking to save an image and accidentally clicking ‘email image’ and having to wait forty years for some email program you didn’t even know existed to rise from its slumber like some lovecraftian ancient god, meanwhile the fans on your laptop are preparing for takeoff and you stare dead-eyed as the rainbow spirals, spirals, spirals. you wait and suffer this cosmic karma. days pass. “just a few more seconds” you slur. your laptop freezes and the concept of time is no longer comprehensible. your family and friends forget your name and you fade from existence.

Honestly my favorite thing about Vine as a storytelling mechanism is that people create these 6 second experiences that are cross culturally relatable and do not even need language to be successful.

Everyone I know that watches TWD is furious at Neegan for killing people and taking their stuff and I’m like yeah he has basically built a functioning government… THATS WHAT THEY DO.

erroneous-logic

God I fucking know right. He’s like “This is the new world order, this is how it works NOW” and I’m like wtf no this is exactly the old world order with less bureaucrats and paperwork.

Apple is based out of California, they generated 233.7 billon dollars in revenue last year. Yet Apple refuses to manufacture in the USA. Apple has continued to use Foxconn as their manufacturer, and America has continued to turn the other cheek.

failurepersonified

But everybody seems to forget that Apple isn’t the only company to have their products made by Foxconn. Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo’s major consoles, all made by Foxconn. They make TVs for Sony, Sharp, and Toshiba. Phones for Nokia, Huawei, and Motorola. They’re a major assembler of PCs for Dell, Acer, and Hewlett-Packard.

This is a lot worse than just one company.

This is what happens when you tax the fuck out of everything that moves and mandate minimum wages. It gets too expensive, so businesses cut costs wherever they can.

lainathewitch

No this is what happens when capitalism runs the world. It costs less to pay people sweatshop wages than a fair wage.

erroneous-logic

Yes and no. Wages for skilled, or even semi-skilled labor in the U.S. are so high, due to the rampant taxing of everything that everybody has to pay for, presumably from their wages, that not only is it cheaper to pay the sweat shop prices, it’s cheaper to pay the sweat shop prices AND the cost of shipping your goods back halfway around the world AND the import tariffs than it is to pay someone enough to do your job -and- give the government their cut of the money that they had literally no hand whatsoever in you earning, beyond being a hindrance to you earning it in the first place.

I honestly couldn’t tell if all of these were fake because #DraftOurDaughters sounds so real

eric1833

Females are exempt from the draft

tiffanarchy

They will be until 2018: http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/06/15/us/politics/congress-women-military-draft.html

there was bipartisan support for that regressive step.

pope-pius-xiii

Y'all are the most limpwristed whiners I’ve ever seen.

thepoliticalhippie

Based on what?

pope-pius-xiii

Aggressive anti-state ideology.

thepoliticalhippie

How is it aggressive to not want to be forced to go to war and give up your freedom and even your life for a government that has no interest in your well being?

pope-pius-xiii

Neo-Rousseauians pls

thepoliticalhippie

Big words for someone with a mouthful of the governments dick.

pope-pius-xiii

That hardly seems called for.

thepoliticalhippie

But calling the people in this thread/talking about this subject limpwristed whiners was super called for I see. It’s okay when you do it but when it comes back to you it offends your delicate sensibilities? My apologies.

pope-pius-xiii

Limpwristed meaning weak in terms of strength. Whiners in terms of complaining about the draft (presumably because it’s too much/not strong enough). Call me whatever you want but keep it germane to the discussion.

thepoliticalhippie

I know what the insult means there isn’t anything ambiguous about that. What I said is relevant. But if being against the draft is too aggressively anti state for you we are unlikely to agree with this actual subject. But if you are going to through insults particularly calling people whiners don’t go full whiner yourself.

falloutsettler-deactivated20250

My way of looking at it is that if you’re not willing to live and die for country then get out. The draft would only be called when it was needed. If you’re more willing to live under Russia and chinas boots than to fight then we don’t really need you breathing our air and eating our food anyway.

thepoliticalhippie

You are entitled to that opinion. My way of looking at is slavery is bad inherently and I don’t have conditions that justify slavery in any situation. And I don’t believe anyone owes their life to the state. I also don’t believe in kicking everyone that disagrees with me out of the country or that it’s my air and food they are taking up or that the options are either bow down to the state or get out. I do not owe the government anything most especially my life nor do I need to be willing to die in order to justify my place in this country. If you think that it is your duty to be ready to live and die for this country might I assume you are in the military currently? Where do you draw the line on this willingness to lay down your life for the government? Do you only support the draft because it seems unlikely or far off? Based on what you said you might also be in favor of mandatory military service as a condition of existing in this country so could you clarify your position? To what extent are you against personal freedom?

falloutsettler-deactivated20250

If you consider yourself part of the state, if you take up the states resources, and if you depend on the state for protection then you quite literally owe the state your life. If you don’t believe where you live and what you own is worth dying for then you don’t belong or truly want to be there. I believe that citizenship and all its benefits should only be given to those that truly want to be here. Or take the whole system down and let everyone fend for themselves. Because why should you get fat and live peacefully while others fight your battles

thepoliticalhippie

You are entitled to your opinion no matter how disgusting and dangerous it is. At least you don’t pretend to advocate freedom. Just jump right onto the authoritarian train. I’m going to assume by your lack of answers to my question that there is no line which is too far for the government to go. Since you owe absolutely everything to the government they are free to take everything including your life with no justification at any time. Slavery is fine, murder, corruption any crime is fine if the government does it because they can do whatever they want because you owe it to them to bow down and not ask questions. It’s your duty. It’s that invisible contract you signed upon being born in this country. And if you don’t comply no punishment is too harsh? Is that what you think? Also you are confusing where I live and what I own for the government. Those are not the same thing. The government owes us not the other way around. We give them power they do not give us rights. I do not owe a damn thing to the government especially not my life and neither do you. If you think we are living peacefully you are so painfully unaware my heart aches for you.

You are completely and utterly despicable honestly but at least you admit to being against liberty though I guess so at least you are not in denial about your horrendous ideology.
