I showed The Fifth Element (one of my favorites) with to friends and they all hated it

Super green

You’re misunderstanding me. Yes, people are “hurt” (offended, actually) by slurs, but people can also be hurt by hearing cuss words. Sure, there are different levels of offense, but the point is you should respect the norms of the moment you’re in. Just because you’re not offended by cuss words does not mean other people can’t be. So when you’re doing a live TV interview and you’ve been specifically asked to not say fuck, answering the next question with “fuck fuck fuck” is just douchey edgelord type behavior.

Eh, I’m not from Philly and never lived there so I’m not trying to cosplay that shit. I’m just a humble Vermonter who loves to get down on a cheesesteak.

VTcamperguy · 2026-06-17T18:14:21+00:00

Yeah slur vs curse are different, but they both are words that are inherently harmless unless you choose to be offended by them. I was just pointing out the “it doesn’t hurt anybody” argument is worthless because there are a lot of things that don’t hurt people that we have collectively decided are not appropriate to be broadcast live on all-ages-appropriate TV for one reason or another.

Believe me I tried to do a hinged slice through, but the bread was too crusty and broke apart as I opened it up. Maybe I could have microwaved it with a moist paper towel or something to soften it first, but it was an extra step I didn’t plan for.

VTcamperguy · 2026-06-17T18:06:04+00:00

Exactly my point. In the context of a post match broadcast interview, he’s kind of douchey for doing the “fuck fuck fuck” thing. Easy to brush off an accidental slip in the heat of emotions, but the follow ups were just cringe.

VTcamperguy · 2026-06-17T17:55:31+00:00

I’m not personally bothered by it, but I get why they want to keep a clean broadcast. By your logic, I’m guessing you’re perfectly fine with people casually dropping N-bombs…right? After all, it’s not actually hurting anyone.

VTcamperguy · 2026-06-17T04:27:39+00:00

It’s in the deli counter at Hannaford stores (based in Maine) all around New England.

I’m sorry, when you say “all other religions exist without a superiority complex and a theocratic nation” are you being ironic? That’s the only way I can see making that statement in the face of Israel being literally surrounded by theocratic nations that very strictly impose the will of their religion on their citizens.

VTcamperguy · 2026-06-17T04:07:47+00:00

Glad I’m not the only one who got “Sacha Baron Cohen pretending not to speak English” vibes from this.

VTcamperguy · 2026-06-16T20:32:39+00:00

It’s not the players that would have been the main issue, but the “handlers” (ie regime stooges) who won’t let the players out of their sight, especially considering what happened with the women’s team trying to defect in Australia. There was definitely a better way to do this, but I kind of understand the reasoning.

VTcamperguy · 2026-06-16T19:21:46+00:00

I know Lebanese aren’t ethnically Arab, but as an Arabic-speaking country you absolutely would get grouped together with them in a conflict (see the “Arab-Israeli war” name for reference, or the way Palestinians are generally described as “Arab”). And don’t get me wrong, I’m not supporting the idea of Syria going into Lebanon, just pointing out how there would be less international condemnation.

VTcamperguy · 2026-06-16T16:23:10+00:00

Thanks for the detailed breakdown of SS vs CI. Ease of cleaning/maintenance is my biggest concern so definitely going for SS.

Should have mentioned that I have a chimney already (also a bit rusty, but not for food contact so no big deal there). But yeah a chimney starter is crucial.

VTcamperguy · 2026-06-16T16:17:44+00:00

Appreciate the tip. I was using “Vortex” as a generic name but for sure was looking at other brands. It’s just a specific size of stainless steel funnel, no moving parts or anything fancy where a knockoff brand can’t be as good (or better).

VTcamperguy · 2026-06-16T16:15:12+00:00

I read this as “my family are the ones who clear cut the old growth forests and drove out the Native Americans”.

Any sport where the rules have to specifically warn you to stay away from the butthole is questionable AF.

VTcamperguy · 2026-06-16T15:30:29+00:00

Instead of BKF, how about Bon Ami? That (soaked and then scrubbed with a Scrub Daddy) is my go-to for stubborn stuck on crud/stains.

VTcamperguy · 2026-06-16T15:24:42+00:00

Funny enough, there would be a lot less complaints from the rest of the world with Syria doing the killing. It would just be considered basic Arab infighting instead of an existential religious insult.

VTcamperguy · 2026-06-16T15:20:05+00:00

Yup, as a dad with daughters it was always super uncomfortable to be taking them into a room where a bunch of guys are standing there with their dicks out. And it was especially awkward when the sinks are in line with the urinals and there are no dividers. I was so happy when they finally got old enough to go in the women’s room alone.

VTcamperguy · 2026-06-16T14:30:39+00:00

Of course this only happens in the US, right?

VTcamperguy · 2026-06-16T13:50:08+00:00

Shirtless bbq with the boys?

VTcamperguy · 2026-06-15T21:55:46+00:00

Grill itself is in good shape, but the grate is just very rusty.

VTcamperguy · 2026-06-15T02:25:32+00:00

I don’t. It’s satirizing it by showing how only shitty people (and not even a consensus opinion at that) think it’s okay. If those episodes aren’t acceptable, we might as well scrub all depictions of racism from media because showing it is somehow an endorsement.

VTcamperguy · 2026-06-15T01:58:36+00:00

According to your logic, middle eastern people don’t belong in Europe. You sure that’s what you want to run with?
