this is in canada btw not the us. the analysis going in the notes of the us and capitalism and third world exploitation etc is true but i want people to know that this is happening in toronto canada because canada and canadian companies are not exempt from this, canadian capitalism is just as culpable in exploiting workers and imperialist outsourcing of labour, this is something happening in one of the so-called “most diverse and cosmopolitan and liberal progressive cities in the world” according to canadian liberal media. it’s important not to let canada off the hook for this kind of shit either

I think we should let Ron Perlman burn a house down. You know, as a treat.
Thanks @ingdamnit for bringing this to my attention.

“But I will say one thing before I get off this. The motherfucker who said ‘we’re going to keep this thing going until people start losing their houses and their apartments.’ Listen to me motherfucker. There’s a lot of ways to lose your house, some of it is financial, some of it is karma, and some of it is just figuring out who the fuck said that. And we know who said that, and where he fucking lives. There’s a lot of ways to lose your house. You wish that on people, you wish that families starve, while your making 27 million dollars a year for creating nothing. Be careful motherfucker. Be really careful. Cause that’s the kind of stuff that stirs stuff up.”
Whenever you find yourself in a situation of difficulty that makes you feel foolish and stupid, like if you lose your phone charger or forget an important appointment, or entirely forget when the War of 1812 took place, or beat meringue a little too far past the point of forming stiff peaks, or spill a glass of water in your lap in the precise way so as to make it appear like you peed your pants right as your crush is about to walk past, just think to yourself:
“At least I have the presence of mind not to think that carrots have too much sugar.”
“Unsure what went wrong”
There are times I wish I had the confidence of someone who writes a recipe review that essentially says “I fucked up this recipe, here’s how I fucked up this recipe, but it’s entirely your fault I fucked up this recipe. Tell me how you would stop me from fucking up this recipe again.”
Note that I don’t say forced you to or made you recite because it is your Constitutional right not to! If you are in school currently and your school tries to make you or anyone else do it who doesn’t want to, you should tell them this.
All of us kids who actively refuse(d) to say it or even just the “under God” portion are kindred spirits forever <3
Yes, non-Americans, if you think this is really weird and creepily nationalistic: you’re 100% right about that and a lot of us, especially on this website, feel the same way
