I agree. And it was the only one of the season that seemed to revisit the original themes of the series

The Bear season 3. Season 1 was all about the working class and the conflicts of gentrification as demanded by capitalism and authenticity. Season 2 was similar themes plus struggling with maintianing a healthy life outside of work when you have crazy ambitions. And then season 3 was just… about how if you dont bend your will to capitalism and be a good cog in the machine of a fine dining establishment then you’re a shit human being? Idk man it really lost the plot
When I was a kid growing up in the Midwest, this is what I thought tacos were. And then a friend took me to a legit Mexican joint as a teenager and my mind was blown
Not enough ads in between sentences
Kinda disappointed the friend didn’t check with the driver at all and instead just wanted to leave the scene
And yet its collectivism makes it a much more cooperative society than America. People take care of the commons instead of taking as much as they can before anyone else
Walking in an American city is a great way to realize how totally fucked our transportation infrastructure is. So many people seem to have never even bothered to try walking anywhere
I agree. Some of the brightest most creative people in history took walks as part of their daily routines. I think it’s a great way to reset the brain and get in touch with your surroundings and your body
As long as the weather’s not too bad, walking is great. If I’m in a hurry, I bike, but that’s always a little stressful cuz you gotta deal with either cars/drivers or poorly-maintained sidewalks. Haven’t owned a car in 12 years
I worked for a guy back in 2021/22 who used to take us through the drive-thru of fast food places a lot for either breakfast or lunch. I always ate before work so I never needed anything, but he’d sit there in the drive thru and complain about the price and how employees wanting $2 more per hour was obviously the cause of the rising prices and how none of it was worth the cost anymore and blah blah blah. Then the next day we’d go right back to the same drive thru and he’d give the same shpiel again. I never understood why he couldn’t just buy some bread and deli meat or something and make himself some sandwiches instead of constantly bitching. He was a Gen Xer btw
Also, comparing this to the way Chicago cops handle shooting people is interesting. They are so incredibly methodical about finding everyone who was involved, telling them to STFU while the cameras are on, meeting with a supervisor and confirming they are clear to cut the cameras. It’s incredibly chilling how efficient they are. See, for example, the videos here: https://www.chicagocopa.org/case/2024-0003052/
Watching the longer version of the video and seeing the point where the officer’s hand starts violently shaking while he breathes heavily and then some guys ask him if he’s okay and he just says “yeah I’m fine”… (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSN0cqzl__4&rco=1&t=25m20s) Like maybe this is part of why men are responsible for 90% of homicides? Like maybe cops should be getting a little more training in psychology before they get handed a gun yknow?
The idea that Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk, two of the richest men in the world, are somehow prisoners in America is truly unhinged
I remember these from like 2008. A lost art in the age of AI
I feel like I first saw it in 2015
We pointed out his insane rants about Corn Pop and leaving the record player on for your baby, and the libs told us to stop making fun of his stutter.
It reminds me of when I got jumped and robbed by three dudes and someone called the cops cuz I was yelling for help. They showed up after the dudes fled and told me that even if they found em the courts would just let em back out on the streets tomorrow anyway. People really think the cops are just held on too tight a leash when really they’re lazy
I wore women’s clothes for years and I’m a cis straight guy. Women dug it because it showed confidence, taste, and style. I liked how flared jeans looked, since they were sort of a more muted version of bell bottoms. As my torso grew more masc I sort of abandoned that look, as I felt it was more fitting for slimmer figures, but I definitely agree that men’s clothes are just so much more boring unless you go out of your way
That’s a good point. Key difference
Look at what Nintendo’s been doing for the last like 20 years. PS2 level graphics but great game design
