Yep! The southwest of France says chocolatine. Also in QC, so it makes more sense for Americans to learn it as chocolatine. And it has less syllables...

Don’t cross picket lines, people!

Nabisco bakers across the US are on strike, potentially disrupting Oreo supply

Hundreds of workers at Nabisco bakeries across the country are on strike over a proposal to change their work shifts and health care benefit

Hundreds of union employees at three U.S. Nabisco bakeries that make Oreo and Chips Ahoy cookies and Ritz Crackers have gone on strike to protest proposed changes amid contract negotiations with parent company Mondelez International, Inc.

Approximately 200 workers at a factory in Portland, Oregon, have been on strike for two weeks and were joined on Monday by about 400 employees at Nabisco’s bakery in Richmond, Virginia. On Thursday, workers at Nabisco’s bakery in Chicago also walked off the job to go on strike.

Employees at a sales distribution center in Aurora, Colorado, also joined the strike on Aug. 12. All of the workers on strike are members of the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers, and Grain Millers International Union, which announced the Chicago strike on Thursday.

“This fight is about maintaining what we already have,” Mike Burlingham, vice president of BCTGM Local 364 in Portland, told TODAY Food. “During the pandemic, we all were putting in a lot of hours, demand was higher, people were at home, and the snack food industry did phenomenally well.

“Mondelez made record profits and they want to thank us by closing two of the U.S. bakeries (last month) and telling the rest of us we have to take concessions, what kind of thanks is that? We make them a lot of money. It’s very disheartening. How is that supposed to make us feel?”

The union is in the midst of negotiating a new four-year contract with Mondelez after the previous one expired in May.

Union leaders say that Mondelez has proposed switching from eight-hour shifts, five days a week, to 12-hour shifts, three or four days a week, without overtime, and with increased mandatory work on weekends without extra pay.

Is this about ww2 or am I just hyperfixating

One of my favourite genres of supernatural horror media might be described as bear-poking horror.

Basically, it’s horror media where the supernatural threat is a known quantity. Everybody – or at least everybody who’s involved – knows what it is and what it does, and there’s a specific, known, easily avoided act that will incur its wrath. All that’s necessary for nobody to get eaten is for nobody to do that thing. Typically there isn’t even any benefit to doing the thing, so there’s literally no reason to do it.

However, in spite of all that, absolutely everyone is going to die, because some fucker went and poked the bear.

Why, oh why did they poke the bear.

I’m free. I’ve wanted to be independent for at least 14 years.

Wait, now what?

say chocolatine. it does not have this problem.

for the love of viennoiserie do not say chocolate croissant.

Democrats and Republicans are completely cool letting you die so long as their corporate donations keep coming.

this reminds me of a collegehumor sketch where a guy brings a chest into the office with a bunch of fashy stuff and is like “my grandpa is a big fan of the bad guys from wolfenstein”

Look buddy, i’m just trying to make it to Friday.

sometimes when I listen to a song I get this really high quality animated music video playing in my head and I’m like “this needs to be shared with the world but I have zero expertise in animation and this would probably take a decent size team to make so this will remain Mind Cartoon”

my eccentric 91 year old mimi is staying at our house. if there is anything you’d like to communicate to or ask of this interesting character now would be the time. she enjoys astrology, Emanuel Swedenborg, making doll furniture, and drinking copious amounts of cheap wine. she got her blood tested. she has almost no hemoglobin, white blood cells, or platelets. we have no idea how she is still alive but we think it may be supernatural.

next to my high school there is a house that puts up inflatables for every season/holiday. they have introduced the summer inflatable. it is a rocket with “USA” on the side. my american teenager brain thinks “yay fireworks!” my marxist leninist brain thinks “imperialist nuclear warhead! I must destroy it to defend the motherland!”

I just noticed that the aroma joe's (that is, the only coffee shop in my hometown) has a no loitering sign. A coffee shop. No sitting around all day. If they enforced that, they would be out of business. The US is weird.

I mean they kinda have to call themselves central. It wasn't like there was a clear way to distinguish west from east for like 40 years /s

honestly is there a single thing thats more hilarious than “central europeans” insisting with all their might that they are not eastern european

everything is a vibe if you try hard enough

This is the reverse of getting a tattoo of the word chicken noodles in a different language

So I was in stats and there was a word problem where the teacher was the boss and liked to get wages out of a random number generator (bad idea) and some of the possible wages were obvious poverty wages ($1, $5 per hour) which we joked about. Over half the wages (taking up almost all the staff) were illegal. Next class was about giving them a raise. We could choose two options: up every wage by $10 per hour (removing the starvation wages) or double every wage (keeping $2 an hour a possibility). Apparently "you should pick the first option if you are in the lower half and pick the second one if you are in the upper half." wtf I don't want blood on my hands??? She said I was being "really nice" which is cool but it's not much to not want families to starve/go homeless???

eastern european countryside: oops! all ww2 monuments
