So I just watched it for the first time earlier this year and honestly it wasn't bad. It's cheesy (and by most measures not a great film), but it was genuinely fun to watch.

This is sort of beside the point you're making, but a lot of 1st/2nd generation Latinos still look down on immigrants. "We did it the hard way, so they should have to as well" similar to bootstrap mentality.

It's some real mental gymnastics, but I've had several latina girlfriends over the years and some of their families were poor or super well off, but they openly hated Mexicans and/or Puerto Ricans.

That number isn't really that surprising.

You should see a doctor for that.

Frozen burrito slathered in sour cream is vile. At least dip it like a civilized person 😂

If you're pounding one out that won't really save you. He probably games with headphones and just doesn't want to get jump scares by mom.

I always had a desk and a bed and I made a point to never have my back towards the door when I was at my desk for the above reason.

Ya, family holidays are stressful. If you smoke weed and know a relative smokes weed, it's tradition to "go for a walk" or have a "safety meeting" or "take out the trash" to break away from the main group and get some fresh air.

In my family it's my brother and his wife. Usually right after dinner.

I find this relatable lol.

The obvious one is an enclosure or latches door to prevent accidental falls. They might be wearing fall protection that we can't see but I doubt it.

There's a good chance nobody ever fell from one of these but those regulations exist for a reason.

Maybe less obvious is fail-safes for any elevator system so if the brakes fail it doesn't freefall into the ground.

 
 
 
 

I assumed just German memes but I was always afraid to ask on Reddit. Is there a specific style of humor, or jokes about things only Germans would understand?

Danke 🙏
