  • SUMMARY: The writing-directing duo of Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer return to their time-tested formula of actors wandering around aimlessly and spoofing movies that no one in their right mind would ever bother spoofing. Except, it's not really spoofing, so much as it is shouting out the names of other movies and hoping that alone will generate laughs. Out of all the films Seltzerberg have made that slavishly follow this formula, Disaster Movie is arguably their most recent.

    Is it bad that sometimes I call my cousin "Princess Mia"

    She's two months old, so I can't really get her opinion on it

    ok i looked it up and apparently "activating" almonds means soaking them in water for a while so they start germinating. i dunno if that's gonna matter if you're eating it but i have to admire the coolocity of it. fuck man plant eggs aren't enough. i gotta eat PLANT FETUSES. delicious
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    Activated almonds have been soaked in water for around 12-24 hours to begin the germination process; and then oftentimes slowly dried again, so they’re still crisp. Nuts are plant seeds, and soaking them for long enough can start the germination process, which causes changes in the seed.
    A germinating seed (now activated after being dormant) begins to break down some of the stored proteins, starches (carbohydrates) and oils [1,2,3,4] into forms of energy for the young sprout to grow roots and shoots. As well as some changes to these nutrients, other plant chemicals also begin to change [5,6]
    Phytate or phytic acid is a phytochemical that binds with minerals such as iron and zinc, making it difficult for our body to absorb these . There are numerous studies in grains and legumes that show soaking and/or germination decreases the amount of phytate in the seed [8,9,10,11,12,13,14], and some go on to show the amount of easily absorbed minerals increases [15,16,17]. However, some studies show an increase in the amount of phytase (an enzyme that breaks down phytate), but don’t find a matching reduction in phytate [18] or an increase in minerals [19]
    Unfortunately, there appears to be no published studies of exactly what happens in almonds or other tree nuts, as opposed to what happens in soaked and germinated grains and legumes.
    Studies also show that the type of seed and the length of time it’s allowed to germinate [10,21] has a big impact on how much phytate is reduced. There are no studies that look at how long you need to soak almonds or other nuts to get any phytate reduction.
    So there is very little scientific evidence to judge what changes occur in a soaked almonds (or other nuts); how long you need to soak them for these changes to occur; and most importantly, whether any changes that do occur make a nutritional difference to the person eating them. Phytate is also a known antioxidant, and may be important in protecting against cancer and other inflammatory diseases [22], so reducing the amount you consume may not always be desirable.
    We know almonds and other nuts – activated or not --have important health effects: a handful a day can help to protect against high-cholesterol, heart disease and diabetes, as well as help to manage weight and appetite. Any advantage that ‘activated almonds’ might theoretically have would relate to how easy it is for your body to access some of the minerals present – something that’s not likely to be very relevant to a person eating a mixed diet in Australia. In countries where a limited number of foods may be eaten, for example where the diet is based largely on staples corn, millet or other grains, the amounts of phytate can be high, and other food sources of nutrients like iron and zinc can be low. In these countries, the effects of traditional food preparation, such as soaking, sprouting and fermenting of grains to reduce phytate content can be nutritionally important.
    While we don’t know if the fibre content of activated/soaked almonds changes we do know the fibre in raw natural almonds may prevent some of the fat in almonds from being absorbed so it is excreted from the body. Nut eaters have more fat in their stools and this may be one of the ways nuts can help with weight management [23,24,25].  
    So whether activated or not almonds and other nuts are nutritious snack choices to make. For more information on almonds refer to our almond fact sheet.

    Huh.
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    Listening to some weird, fun, Vocoder-slathered funk/house music from... Japan, I think, on WFMU.

    Glenn, you god-forsaken weeaboo, you should be all over this.
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    Actually, I'm not sure if this is still the same song or what, because I think the bassline and beat are the same or at least part of a sequence, and the instrumentation is similar, but the whole vocal approach has changed, as have other things.

    Actually, as silly as they sound - and frankly ludicrously expensive - none of those things would be too weird in isolation or as occasional snacks or meals. It's just that this is all he eats. It's not pretentious so much as it is utterly health-nutty and phrased in a weird, admittedly slightly pretentious way.

    Even the vinegar water. I have heard so much weirder.

  • Back when the licenses were still a new thing and the required instructional classes weren't a joke, my dad's class was run through a host of scenarios: You're broken down on a dirt road in the middle of the night. A black dude in a Cutty pulls up behind you, gets out, comes out with a tire-iron. What do you do? Half my dad's class said to shoot the black man.

    im sorry but tire irons are deadly weapons not car fixing implements DON'T BELIEVE THE CAR MECHANIC PROPAGANDA

    "Hello, black man. I see you've got a tire iron on you. Perhaps you're skilled in the art of automobile maintenance and you'll help me fix my car?"

    Precisely.

    Granted, if you replaced "dirt road" with, say, "Diamond Street" (until relatively recently), I would say, "No-one gets out of their car there. Run like hell."

    But that's Philly for you.
  • now im reminded of this story my mom told me where she was pulling a very late shift doing some data analysis and she went to the bathroom and there was this lady there who was startled and said what basically amounted to "wow for a second i was afraid that you were a black person who was going to rape me"

    because that's what black people do, they break into government buildings with lots of security guards in the dead of night to have their way with middle-aged paper-pushers

  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    But then, the really scary people who operated out of that part of the city would be packing a lot more than tire-irons, so the guy would probably just be another dude with no common sense.

    In which case you tell him to run like hell.

  • racism is often very silly in a not even remotely funny sort of way.
  • Oh, you can make anything racist funny. Except for the Alabama church bombing. 

    Why do you think John Stewart had a job for so long?
  • well i meant that more as a clarification that i do not find it funny in it's natural "nobody's joking about it" state, not that one can't hypothetically make it funny.

    “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    Correction: You can almost always make (non-violent) racists funny, because they are fucking stupid and stupidity is easily mocked; and you can make racist acts funny if they are, again, non-violent and dumb enough; but racism itself is hard to make funny.
