Btw, Puerto Ricans are US citizens. But don't let that stop them.

My favorite is habanero


there's no ñ, just n, but some will make a show of pronouncing it with the incorrect ñ sound.

Disgusting that this is who superbowl picked for their halftime show.. Claims to be a bunny, but turns out he's just some human dude. Typical.

[–] MBech@feddit.dk 79 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

So.... would you say he's pretty bad at being a bunny? Like he's a bad bunny?

[–] bilb@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The worst bunny I've ever seen!

It's actually impressive how insanely wrong they are.

You know what 'citizen' means now though.

[–] pachrist@lemmy.world 121 points 1 week ago (6 children)

I am, of course, disgusted with this choice of Super Bowl halftime performer.

The obvious choice was to have Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce get married during the Super Bowl halftime, during which Taylor will not take the Kelce name, killing everyone watching over the age of 65.

[–] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 70 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Travis takes the name Swift. Conservative men melt down so badly that one of them goes out and blows Erika Kirk's head off.

[–] Default_Defect@anarchist.nexus 23 points 1 week ago

Then we'd get "he followed Taylor Swift news, so he must have been a trans leftist!!"

I am, of course, disgusted with your proposed choice of Super Bowl halftime performer.

The even more obvious choice was to have Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce enter a civil union during the Super Bowl halftime, during which Taylor will not take the Kelce name while also announcing she is 4 months pregnant and the unborn child should be referred to as "they/them", killing nearly 40% of all viewers.

Rhianna is from Barbados? Huh, TIL.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Hmm, this got me to look up the demonym for people from Barbados. I hoped it would be something interesting, but the official one is pretty boring: Barbadians. But, the unofficial one is a bit interesting: Bajans. I thought it would be pronounced like the Spanish "baja", but apparently it's "Bay - jenz". Which is a bit cool. Not as cool as their flag, but still cool.

That's always what's happening when they want to use the N-word and remember they shouldn't and then try to say it with other words.

He would be following Hitler in doing the only good thing either one of them ever did.

Puerto Rico is only American when it's convenient to America!

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Trump didn't know during his first term, acted like giving aid for the hurricane disaster was charity to a foreign country.

Trump received backlash after he claimed during a series of tweets on Tuesday morning that Puerto Rico only takes from the United States.

It's upsetting that people can be colossally stupid and factually incorrect and face no meaningful consequences. Like, who is the OP? Why are they just walking around without a warning sign that says like "This person is stupid"?

Nature has a way of warning others, just look for a red hat or American flag

The US is trying to reject a part of their own territory as American.

Meanwhile, PRC is trying to claim territory not under the PLA's control as Chinese.

Ironic lol

Puerto Rico should just do a Taiwan tbh. I mean if they aren't treated like Americans, you might as well.

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (5 children)

They receive a lot of benefits as a territory. And whether the Hispanic media portrays it or not, they are a very impoverished community. Them declaring independence is never gonna happen.

"Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny appearing in the Superbowl"

Honestly, "Puerto Rican" is the most appealing part of that sentence for me XD

I knew Rhianna is from Barbados, and that British rock bands are generally British. But I had no idea Shakira was Colombian!

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

She is Colombian and half Lebanese, too.

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And that is how she gives 150% at her shows!

(Sorry. Bad dad joke.)

I always find it remarkable how trivial topics can be so successful on every social media platform—yes, even here.

This is basically proof that fascists have already won, because instead of dealing with the important issues—in the US, for example, the unbelievable corruption of the regime, the obvious establishment of a secret police force in the form of ICE, the completely illegal deployment of troops to oppress the population, which is actually very successful (+ many more outrageously important things)—people are focusing their attention on who will perform at the goddamn Super Bowl halftime show—and they even think they're outsmarting the fascists when they point out for the millionth time that their bullshit is just that—utter bullshit.

It's just sad that nothing has changed since Goebbels. The logic is still the same and people continue to fall for it: distraction from what's going on until it's too late—and in the US, it probably already is.

I would be more hopeful if at least the events in the States could serve as a deterrent, but that is obviously absolutely not the case. It's the same all over the world: stupid trivialities distract from the real problems— just as the fascists want.

The internet hasn't made things better, it's only made them worse.

I think it's way past time to admit what the problem is, namely ordinary people who simply cannot fulfill their duty as responsible citizens because they act completely irresponsibly—if this weren't the case, the problem wouldn't exist at all—especially in the US: an obvious criminal with known ties to organizes crime in the office of president, a proven rapist, a highly probable pedophile? WTF!

This is only possible because people let it happen. It's simple as that.
