most of the talk on this website about Game Changer is how Sam Reich psychologically tortures his contestants, but I want to make it clear to the uninitiated that he's actually extremely ethical about it

He sends out a company wide email and asks them to choose episodes based on a chili pepper rating system

meaning he doesn't put 🌶️🌶️ people into 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ episodes

they're also big on consent ie cast and crew have to be okay with it before they'll do nudity or something like that in an episode

it's like the bdsm of psychological torture. safe, sane, and consensual.

the contestants know what they're getting into, and they're full down

really recommend getting a partner with a different religion than you and very little knowledge of your religion because the opportunities for explaining things to each other are just exquisite

yesterday she told me some story about the Buddha's wife and child and I was like. Wait. He fucked? And she was like yeah of course he fucked, why wouldn't he, he was the most attractive and loveable and and wise and etc. person who ever lived. why would he not fuck.

this morning she looked perplexed in the kitchen at me and said "did Jesus not fuck?"

i think the eclipse should be a paid holiday for everyone. even in places that cannot witness it directly. it's special. all places of business should be closed today out of respect,. for the sun. and the moon.

[ID text–

Various images of the smiling Pillsbury Doughboy with accompanying text:

Pillsbury Doughboy with arms raised joyfully in the air – "HE IS RISEN! HAPPY EASTER!"
Pillsbury Doughboy with arms raised joyfully in the air, but with his usual puffiness replaced by the mottled appearance of unleavened crackers – "HE IS NOT! HAPPY PASSOVER!"
Pillsbury Doughboy with one arm raised as though signaling – "HE IS OFF LIMITS UNTIL SUNDOWN! HAPPY RAMADAN!"
Pillsbury Doughboy with arms folded across his chest – "HE IS AN OFFERING TO THE ANCESTORS! GOOD WISHES FOR QINGMING!"

End ID.]

All these are references to some belief systems and their connections to food, around the world:

  • The Easter Doughboy's text is a play on the leavening of baked products made by the Pillsbury company, as well as the belief of Christ's resurrection ("He is risen") celebrated at Easter;
  • The Passover Doughboy's text is a reference to the practice of consuming unleavened cracker-like flatbreads (matzah or matzo) at the Jewish festival of Passover, when leavening is forbidden;
  • The Ramadan Doughboy's text is a reference to the fasting month of Ramadan, when Muslims are forbidden from eating anything (including, presumably, a halal Pillsbury Doughboy) from dawn to sunset;
  • The Qingming Doughboy's text is a reference to the practice of offering food to deceased ancestors at the Chinese Qingming festival (including, presumably, an edible Pillsbury Doughboy).

This year (2023) all four of the above religious observances fall within close proximity of each other, in the month of April.

Reblogging because it's that time of year again.

This year (2024) all four of the above are still in fairly close proximity to each other, although they cross over from March into April:

  • Ramadan – early March to early April (dates may vary according to region).
  • Easter – 31 March 2024.
  • Qingming – 4 April 2024.
  • Passover – 22 April 2024.

hey writers if you want to make a metaphor for racism, please maybe remember that racism is literally based on nothing. Africans weren’t enslaved en masse because the Robo-Musa threatened to destroy the world, they were enslaved because it was economically rewarding and politically convenient. If at any point your allegory for racism includes “so <oppressed group> did this major catastrophe and” then you have not only missed the point but you are literally reinforcing the ideas that racism have let racism self-perpetuate (that e.g. black people are naturally dangerous and violent and must be contained or begrudgingly accepted by the Nice White People)
