Ive never been sad in a… Restaurant.
If I’m sad I don’t go to one…
I have, my dad was there to celebrate my birthday, made it really nice, so much I just wanted to leave without even eating, thanks for the memorable birthday dad! I’ll never forget your rage!
Sorry about this. Your dad was a bitch I assume?
Would have still hit those chips, tortillas, and queso. Never miss a chance at that shit. That’s one of life’s few pleasures
I still did, but I needed to force myself to eat at the beginning to “appease” him and to not keep the mood down, but at least the food was really good
I have. I’ve been to Mexican restaurants in Croatia and London.
I was some time ago, trying to find a vegan option to eat.
Can’t go wrong with rice and beans
Those absolutely would not be vegan at a Mexican restaurant.
The restaurant I went to prepared the beans with pork fat and anyways refused to change anything about the menu. It wasn’t a genuine Mexican restaurant though since I live in Germany. The owners traveled to Mexico often though, got recipes from befriended Mexican chefs and imported some ingredients.
I know that because I used to go there often before I went vegan and was pretty sad that they went basically hostile when I carefully tried to order something vegan.
With carefully I mean without any preaching or judging or super complicated changes and custom wishes.
Refried beans are always made with lard. A lot of Mexican restaurants also offer whole pinto or black beans and those are usually made vegan. I would warn you that bullion is used in a lot of recipes though.
I mean, you could’ve just said you were vegan and we’d have known.
Can we cut it with the veganism bad boomer humor?
I’m not even vegetarian but this shit is getting old.
But I’m not any more
Ah.
If you’ve never had to urgently use the bathroom at a Mexican restaurant but when you get up to the door you find it’s occupied so you wait outside in desperation until the person using it comes out and then you go in and see that the toilet is absolutely disgusting so you resign yourself to holding it in and dealing with the stabbing pains of 3 bowls of refried beans with cheese and valentina sauce desperately trying to exit your body one way or another – then are you even capable of understanding the true nature of sadness?
In that scenario, we’ve already said goodbye to sadness. Regret, anxiety, self-loathing, and severe-bowel-discomfort just pulled up and are joining the party uninvited.
Well, at least it wasn’t chorizo guisado con salsa habaneros… most wouldn’t make the wait.
I have. I was not pleased about it, but I have been so sad in a Mexican restaurant that I once declined to eat.
if you ate, you wouldn’t be sad anymore
Well no shit, there’s hot ass latinas there. Who could be sad surrounded by latina babes?
I didn’t know Shadow the Hedgehog had a Lemmy account
Gay men?
There’s still tacos. Everybody loves them.
Based
Fr just try being sad when this is in the room:
I’d like to do the Konami code on that
Face buttons are all wrong, mood sufficiently killed.
Gonna need that @ broski

Come to Australia then
Lots of Mexican restaurants in Australia?
Oh no. I feel that from thousands of miles away.
@thal3s My depression: Challenge accepted.
Margaritas, queso, and whatever you want. Then see how you feel!
Hey, if you’re footin’ the bill… sign me up.
Challenge accepted I’m going to go cry into some mojitos.
“Salmon, Hank! They put salmon in the fish tacos! 😭”
I have … how the hell can you fuck up corn on a cob?
You’re missing out on that Mexican street corn
I gladly will.
With mayo.
Hey…
Tiktok screenshots aren’t memes.
Anything memetic is a meme. This has been shared organically with no monetary incentive by users for the sake of amusement. That makes it a meme.
You’re thinking of an image macro. You’re right, this isn’t an image macro.
you’re right, this isn’t an image macro.
Its not a fucking meme either.
Colloquial definitions are not prescribed.
A TikTok screenshot is just documentation of someone else’s context.
By any modern definition a meme requires some element of remix, juxtaposition, or intentional humor that turns raw content into a cultural shorthand
This isn’t that.
By your definition, a stop sign is a meme. Congrats, you’ve made the modern word useless.
Meme - noun:
an image, video, piece of text, etc., typically humorous in nature, that is copied and spread rapidly by internet users, often with slight variations.
-Oxford
an amusing or interesting item (such as a captioned picture or video) or genre of items that is spread widely online especially through social media
-Merriam-Webster
Seems to fit the definition of a meme to me.
New lemmy post
Title: this guy imirite? Content:
Hurry up and do it lol
What the fuck do you think a meme is?
Literally anything that isn’t a fucking tiktok screenshot.
Behold, a meme!
Good meme lol
At least its not a TikTok screenshot
How is a TikTok screenshot fundamentally different from a screenshot of a tweet or posting an image from instagram? Those are “accepted” definitions of a meme. We get it, you don’t like TikTok because that’s just the “company bad” flavor of the month. You need to adjust your own definition of a meme unless you just want to be the guy at the bottom of a post who was irrationally negative for a wholly arbitrary reason. Not tryin to argue or hate, I’m just sayin that I was that guy for a long time and it’s impossible to describe the relief I feel today knowing that I’m not that person anymore.
For what its worth, Instagram and twitter screenshots aren’t memes either.
This has nothing to do with whether tiktok is the villain of the week.
Also, I give no shits if I’m at the bottom of some arbitrary list. I’m gonna speak the truth, even if I’m hated for it by dumb shits who think ‘selfie with text’ = ‘meme’
Unfortunately, what you think does not have any bearing on what the consensus ends up being. What’s a meme? Go read the book Memetics by Richard Dawkins who literally invented the term and concept. Most people would agree that the modern usage has strayed far from its original intended definition, and yet the modern usage will ultimately end up defining it. Your definition may have been correct in a certain place at a certain time, but now it’s just meaningless and sticking to your guns only makes you look silly.
Just the block the poster if you really care
She looks kind of sad.
No, I think she’s focused.
on only using one hand and a fork as a knife
