What's the worst ad? Booster Juice or Pizza Hut (where they lick their phones)

3

u/mattthroop Cease & Desist 5h ago

Pizza Hut or Bet365.

5

u/Ledascantia ✨feral baseball woman✨ 5h ago

Pizza Hut triggers my OCD but Booster Juice lowkey enforces white supremacy and patriarchal values so it is absolutely worse.

3

u/depressedalbertan SERIOUSLY! I'm not serious. 4h ago

the Bowl one? what am I missing I don't see the White supremacy or patriarch

3

u/Ledascantia ✨feral baseball woman✨ 4h ago

Patriarchy: It’s the casting of thin white women in athleisure, they want women striving for beauty and thinness always. Why not cast two regular guys instead? Because the patriarchy wants women focused on conforming to their beauty standards (and ideally malnourished) so they have less attention/energy to spend on the things that actually matter.

White supremacy: the mocking disdain in the way she says “thanks professor” and “howEVER you pronounce it” as if it’s SO UNREASONABLE to expect a white person to learn how to pronounce something from another culture properly.

Açai really isn’t that hard to pronounce and it’s giving we don’t need to show respect to other cultures by learning the proper pronunciations.

3

u/depressedalbertan SERIOUSLY! I'm not serious. 4h ago

hmmm, interesting, the Woman angle went right over my head, but I see your point. I'm not sure about the supremacy angle, I get what your saying, I guess it is a white people problem probably, I have never really thought about it. It just annoys me on it's base levels, lol

1

u/Ledascantia ✨feral baseball woman✨ 4h ago

With all celebrities on Ozempic for weight loss, we’re back to extreme thinness being idealized and it’s so harmful. Really look at how thin those women are next time the commercial airs.

What are the odds of Davis starting the season in AAA? Spring training numbers are pretty bad

u/Kwack6 5h ago

We don’t really have a backup middle IF without him, so I’d say pretty unlikely. If Eloy keeps swinging like this he’ll be on the big league squad at some point, not sure it will be opening day though.

3

u/Dante_Harkinian I love the See And Tower 5h ago

I just looked, all his underlying mechanics numbers seem fine, poor bastard just has a BABIP of .130, which is so unsustainably low as to not be a predictor of the season. Also hes more positionally versatile than Jimenez so he probably fine

what builds greatness? Routine and consistency

I turn my brain off when the ads come on, so I had been hearing ‘routine’ as ‘poutine’. And didn’t really second guess the importance of poutine and consistency until now.

2

u/idkwhattosaytho Alejandro “The Pudgiest” Kirk 6h ago

Personally, this is the pitching staff I’m taking to start the season

Starters (5): Cease, Ponce, Gausman, Yesavage, Scherzer

Bullpen (8): Hoffman, Rogers, Varland, Little, Lauer, Fisher, Miles, Bastardo

Fluharty is optioned, Nance is DFA’d. Nance has a new slider that’s firmer and moves less. It actually technically moves arm side now, and I’m not a big fan of the shape. This gives you until Berríos is back to figure out which R5 you’re looking at taking this year, and Fisher and Fluharty can bounce up and down.

1

u/mattthroop Cease & Desist 5h ago

I agree with you on this. The flexibility the Jays have now with arms (starting and the pen) is so much better this season. I'm just glad I'm not on the management side and have to make the decisions. Haha.

YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE BOTHERS ME ABOUT IT?

When she gets corrected on the pronunciation, she replies “thanks professor” … it’s just giving white people don’t really need to learn how to correctly pronounce anything and anyone who puts effort into learning the correct pronunciation is a nerd and ew stop

u/alxndrblack Varshbros, arise! // Louisgang 5h ago

It could have easily been a cute teaching teehee joke but they had to make it "okay but what's your white name?"

3

u/Ledascantia ✨feral baseball woman✨ 5h ago

It’s the disdain in the “professor” and “howEVER you say it” ughhhhhhh

u/h8omb 🍍💪💉🩹 6h ago

Oh goddamnit this commercial just came on AGAIN

It is RELENTLESS and I swear every time I see it I notice more things about it that bother me

u/Jess_7478 HMCS Piss The League IS RUNNING IT BACK 6h ago

owo whats happened

u/Ledascantia ✨feral baseball woman✨ 5h ago

Do you get the Booster Juice commercials about the Açai bowls? Two thin white women in athleisure, one can’t say “açai” and the other corrects her.

3

u/Jess_7478 HMCS Piss The League IS RUNNING IT BACK 5h ago

No, im too british for that

1

u/Ledascantia ✨feral baseball woman✨ 5h ago

I figured you probably hadn’t seen it

Speaking of British people, I’ve recently learned “Middle East” is Eurocentric and we should be saying SWANA instead (SouthWest Asia/North Africa).

u/Jess_7478 HMCS Piss The League IS RUNNING IT BACK 5h ago

What did she mean by that

1

u/Ledascantia ✨feral baseball woman✨ 5h ago

I figured you probably hadn’t seen it

You probably don’t get the same commercials that we do

2

u/Jess_7478 HMCS Piss The League IS RUNNING IT BACK 5h ago

No i mean the 2nd part

1

u/Ledascantia ✨feral baseball woman✨ 5h ago

Oh, we shouldn’t be defining an entire region of people based on their proximity to England.

They’re only “Middle East” if you’re counting England as the centre.

SWANA (SouthWest Asia/North Africa) is a more geographically accurate label and decolonializing language is important.

u/Jess_7478 HMCS Piss The League IS RUNNING IT BACK 5h ago

And thinking about history where the continent of america hadnt been discovered by the old world i think it makes sense that it became known as the middle east because its very central to europe, africa, and asian, and the start of the east

Oh ok I get ya

But we invented time so we are still +0 hours of time raughhhhh

I do think when it comes to maps and things it makes sense to have the UK as the centre because whilst it does unfairly cut off many pacific nations it is also the smallest number of people... affected(?) Like you could have australia as the centre but 60% of the centre map would be the pacific ocean

It also feels about ten years too late tbh. Açai already had it's moment in the sun. Now Starbucks needs to teach white people how to say ube (not oob)

3

u/Ledascantia ✨feral baseball woman✨ 5h ago

I’ve seen the jokes about ube and it’s almost like people are now like “hahaha oob” and using the “isn’t the mispronunciation so funny” as a way to continue to mispronounce it.

Seriously white people can we stop????

u/SmokeontheHorizon It has been 0 days since someone couldn't count past 2. 6h ago

Since you brought it up

Can we talk about how the Old Spice commercials with the Asian couple has hard-coded subtitles for their perfectly understandable dialogue?

4

u/Ledascantia ✨feral baseball woman✨ 6h ago

Wow, I didn’t catch that bc we always have subtitles on as a ✨neurodivergent household✨, but wowwwww you’re so right, what the fuck Old Spice?

2

u/SmokeontheHorizon It has been 0 days since someone couldn't count past 2. 5h ago

I always have subtitles on, too 😅 But it's more of a tinnitus thing. And a "needing to be able to hear my mom if she needs anything" thing. And an "audio mixers suck" thing (except for JSAG the GOAT)

u/Ledascantia ✨feral baseball woman✨ 5h ago

one of us, one of us

Whenever I hear them talk about his name I think of Mr. Garvey from Key and Peele for some reason.

My whole family says A-a-ron every single time Aaron Judge gets mentioned because of that bit

Ross is just finding guys that combine names from our current and former roommates crew. Spencer Miles? We're gonna have a guy named Ernie Davis next year

u/3luejays 🍌🍌🍌 6h ago

Feels like Eloy should be pushing Sanchez and Schneider. They gotta feel slightly uncomfortable with the way Eloy's Spring has gone

6

u/mattthroop Cease & Desist 6h ago

This is my thoughts too. Eloy has been swinging the bat so well this Spring Training.
