Barbie (2023) really had Barbie say “hey. I know the reason you hurt me is because I hurt you. I’m sorry I hurt you, because you didn’t deserve that. I know you are a better person than this, and you are fully capable of being that person. I can’t change the past, and I don’t think we can be in each other’s lives anymore without hurting each other, but i am sorry and I want you to be happy. I want you to find your identity and love yourself and live.” and then she realizes she’s also talking about herself.

she’s saying “I deserve to live. We both deserve to live.” it is one of the kindest things I have ever seen done to someone and to themselves in any piece of media ever

For a while in my life I legitimately considered moving to Germany. There’s multiple reasons I inevitably ended up staying in the US but one of the big ones was that one time when I was in Germany and wanted some salsa the closest thing I could find was basically just tomato sauce.

[what-even-is-thiss]

You crave a burrito. You ask your aunt, hey. Can we make burritos? And she says, sure. But we can’t use tortillas. They don’t sell those here. And you learn to your horror that she plans to use flatbread. Which she insists is basically the same thing as a tortilla. It is not. It’s not. It’s adequate but good lord it’s not a tortilla.

[what-even-is-thiss]

There’s the near impossibility of dual citizenship, the pay toilets, my difficulty with the language, being really far away from most of my family, the difficulty of finding a job as a foreigner, the lack of diversity especially in rural areas. But also in there. Is buying a bottle of supposedly habanero “hot” sauce and it being so mild that I could drink it.

[what-even-is-thiss]

I know how to make tortillas, guys. Perhaps also read the rest of the post. With a lighthearted tone, preferably.

[what-even-is-thiss]

You have my deepest condolences.

[ineffable-writer]

Okay so I’m American and I live in Scotland and let me tell you about this fucking abomination:

I once found corn tortillas in a Sainsbury’s. Oho, you may think, that’s a lovely find! But no, my friend. These were flour tortillas… with cooked corn rolled into them. Individual kernels. Like one may find blueberries in a pancake.

I still see red when I think about it.

[what-even-is-thiss]

I have… no words. Beyond stunned.

[pamsssssss]

In honor of my tags passing peer review, i would like to inform everyone that when i make quesadillas my german gf dips them in mayo

[beggars-opera]

When I was in Ireland I distinctly remember seeing a commercial for "extra mild" salsa. I still don't know what that even means. Just chopped tomato and onion in a jar? My friends and I had to have pickled jalapenos shipped in. It was hell

[anyroads]

I am blessed to live in a corner of London where you can get canned refried beans at the local Sainsbury's. They're shitty, but if you add some garlic and cumin they're actually pretty decent, and it means not having to soak and cook them from scratch. I can also get decent avocados because British people have no idea how to buy avocados (they put stickers on them at the store that say "ripe and ready" to help people know which ones to get. The stickers lie. The stickers always lie). So I make my own guac and pico de gallo. I like to make loaded nachos because you can get decent tortilla chips (I add refried beans, cheese, guac, and pico).

The first time I made nachos like this for @thenameofsantiagossextape their face lit up like they just saw god. For weeks they kept telling me they felt wronged and deceived by what they had been told nachos were. Which I get. Because the last time I had nachos at a pub here, it was a stack of tortilla chips covered in once-melted re-hardened cheese, sour cream, shredded (like, minced. to a pulp.) sweet red peppers that met an onion once in passing, and jalapeno slices from a can. Y'all. I don't even make nachos that well. It is DIRE out here.

All y'all telling OP to make tortillas - you make your own EVERY TIME you want a burrito and tell me how you fuckin like it.

Hey quick question: Why exactly do you think it's called Mexican food?

people talk all the time about “primal instincts” and it’s usually about violence or sexual temptations or something, but your humanity comes with a lot of different stuff that we do without really thinking about, that we do without being told to or prompted to

your average human comes pre-installed with instincts to:

Befriend

Tell story

Make Thing

Investigate

Share knowledge

Laugh

Sing

Dance

Empathize with

Create

we are chalk full of survival instincts that revolve around connecting to others (dog-shaped others, robot-shaped, sometimes even plant-shaped) and making things with our hands

your primal instincts are not bathed in blood- they are layered in people telling stories to each other around a fire over and over and putting devices together through trial and error over and over and reaching for someone and something every moment of the way

[full-moon-phoenix]

~“Your primal instincts are not bathed in blood.”

My god this is beautiful. Such a refreshing change of pace to the constant glorification of instinctual human violence.

[thechekhov]

Primal Human Instinct pack also includes bonus instincts such as:

imitating weird noises made by other animals

playing with water

the urge to eat anything brightly colored and jelly-like

touching things that look like they will move in a funny way

seeing faces in literally everything, including toast

jumping up to see if you can bap the top of that doorway

saying ‘ow’ when something unexpected happens, even if it doesn’t hurt
