I generally dislike it as well because it’s usually an excuse for people who are not funny to try to be funny. And I mean, I like jokes/pranks. But I hate ineptitude.
LOL I think you just summed it up for me perfectly.

I also love bananas foster, mostly because they are related to caramelized plantains. They’re available at my local markets, I recall a friend of mine got confused and tried to eat one thinking it was a banana. That was pretty funny.
Mmm, love bananas foster so much too. Again, making me crave.
That really makes me laugh. I hear those kind of stories all the time. My husband was that way too. First time I made them for him he says “what are you doing with those bananas?!”

I could eat them every day, too. I think I’ll grab some the next time I go to the market.
I’m just glad they are finally popular enough to be at Safeway and the major chains. I used to hate having to hunt for them. I even saw plantain chips at Big Lots!
THE WORLD MUST KNOW THEIR DELICIOUSNESS!

AUGH. Caramelized plantains, one of my favourite foods!
I could seriously eat them all day, every day. So easy and so very delicious.
I just ate but I’m already craving them again.
dullscythe replied to your post: 1. How is anyone supposed to know that Nadira is Indian rather than Hispanic? There is no textual evidence saying she’s one or the other, so isn’t it up for interpretation what ethnicity she is? 2. I guess it might be seen as racist if she is in fact Indian, but casting based on appearance is done all the time in Hollywood. Look at Hawaii 5-0, for example. It’s a cast of Hawaiian characters being played by Asians. Is that racist as well? Why aren’t you raging over that show?
Er the Asian population in Hawaii is huge, it’s where I’m from

Yikes. I somehow assumed it was a man who said this (my bad). I get the impression this person is getting caught up in semantics. This happens a lot. See: people who don’t get what the term ‘theory’ or ‘privilege’ means in certain contexts.
I should have clarified, my bad.
The thing is…this woman…her last three discussion posts have just been mind boggling to me. I might have to PM you a few of the posts because I am not sure what is going on.
I hope, I really hope that it’s a semantics issue. I pray it is.

It’s interesting (and inane) that they can only see rape as an act of lust/sex/desire, which means they see it only from the point of view of the victimizer. The victim, of course, sees it as an act of violence, disrespect, and hate. Empathy failure.
The saddest thing to me is that this was on the context of reading Hodge’s book Gendered Hate. Her whole first chapter is how ALL crimes against women with male perpetrators are hate crimes, from date rape to domestic violence to murder. She spends TWENTY TWO PAGES discussing what a hate crime is and why violence against women is a hate crime. Like I can’t believe this woman read all of that and still was like well, this kind of rape isn’t a hate crime. Like as a woman, how can you sympathize with the victimizer? She is just that socialized to it, it seems. She can’t get over it.

Who can be that heartless and naive?!
She is an undergrad but she is also a Criminal Justice major. I find it unbelievable that either she hasn’t encountered this before or someone hasn’t said SOMETHING to her about it. I wish my professor was more proactive and would actually step in to say something to her. She has been posting things like this for the past three discussions we’ve had. It was too much for me today.

How did someone with an IQ of 5 get into that program?
You know how every state has that one state school where all you need to do is sign a check and you get in? That is what this school feels like to me. I mean when I applied for grad school, they took a copy of my GRE that was like 7-8 years old. A photocopy no less. With those rigorous standards for grad school, I only imagine what the undergraduate program is like.

I had beans, rice and falaffel. Some sort of comfort food like moussaka which literally takes 15 mins to make and 30 mins to bake sound good?

Eat all the things.

I’m eating leftover pasta at the moment (I always love me some pasta)
It sucks cause the only place I can get moussaka is like 35 minutes away and I don’t have the ingredients in the house. Though driving there is becoming more and more tempting.
Beasty, I am trying to eat all the things. The problem is that we don’t have things here to eat. LOL
And my husband took our leftover pasta from last night’s pasta florentine. :( That would have been awesome to have tonight.

oh my god! hahaha, in one of my linguistic classes we had a Tannen book along with many other books/articles. The professor actually liked it when I verbally ripped the text apart, because I found it so BAD. (I have an AA in Communications fwiw)

Churros! There used to be a restaurant nearby that made them fresh and served them with melted Mexican chocolate for dipping.
