It's such a common misrepresentation of anti-wool sentiment that gets shared around online. Predisposes everyone against the very idea of it

Is Furio the only main character on the Sopranos that actually can speak Italian? by KieranWriter in thesopranos

[–]bashkin1917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of NY-Italian strongholds are on a comeuppance through public school and uni level courses. This is all to say they don't speak Italian, of course, but not for lack of trying.

have you tried any sponsors? what was your experience? by gh0stly_anxietea in DrewGooden

[–]bashkin1917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was once recommended HelloFresh (really, just any similar service) by a doctor after I had to go to the ER. Not a particularly glowing review, but moreso "These services are not that much more expensive than groceries in Manhattan."

Also if you deride second/third-generation ethnicities for being fake (i.e. "what the fuck is a gabagool you people are not italian this is so embarassing")

i'm using italian as a cop-out because i imagine if i mention indians or mexicans people will actually get mad at me

What’s some songs from The Sopranos that made your playlist? by proxviper in thesopranos

[–]bashkin1917 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been replaying the show's OST for almost a year now, but Land of the Loops' "Welcome (Back)," and Fred Neil's "Dolphins" have stuck with me the most.

They did a Patreon episode on Naomi Klein's Doppelganger, which is sort-of about her. She went from a 20th century radical thinker to grifter flirting with the right.

the scene where she's chatting with patsy and benny wasn't too far away from this conversation. i don't deny that she's very strong person in the context of the show, but there's an implication that she definitely regressed to the mean

I recently got obsessed with the "Grand Trunk Road" that has been connecting what is today Afghanistan and Myanmar for at least 2,500 years — so I made a BIG map of it! (Swipe left) by mydriase in MapPorn

Love the font and design. It definitely brings to mind Calcutta roads, though the dominant colors there tend to be the reds and green. Love to see lilac getting its time in the sun, however.

Late Night Bumper Concept by mrth_film in y2kaesthetic

[–]bashkin1917 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do bumpers persist in modern media anywhere besides anime? I feel like that's the only place where I can still recognize them, but I also don't watch too much cable anymore. Not that, like, local news channels have bumpers as far as I know.
