Are you friends with Syt's extended family now? 

Nice to see how people value inanimate objects so much.

My family has its odd ones. Here perhaps a little unfair as my aunt (a naturalized American citizen from Mexico) has always been a slight bit off brain-wise since some seizures about 5 years ago.

I think non-native citizens have a tendency to overcompensate. Or ones that feel they have a heritage to compensate for. Like, almost all the loudest far-right leaders in Hungary have had obviously foreign last names (which is quite common in Hungary, but still it stands out when you are all about the thousands of years of magyar history of your ancestors)

What's weird is that her husband (an American who married her when she was 15 and fresh from Mexico) has a lot of anti-Latino/immigrant views. And I'm like hmm, but many people in your family are Latino and many people in your wife's family were at one point in time illegal immigrants...

I was really confused there for a minute since I think it has been proven the pyramids were not built by slaves...but then I remembered this is probably a Bible literalness thing.

That makes no sense at all.  OH I GET IT POOR NIGGERS GET TO HAVE EVERYTHING

I get it. It's cheaper to buy bulk, so poor people need to plan their shopping more than those who can afford to shop what they like.

Food assistance has been slashed so much, buying in bulk doesn't really work.  This month's meal is: noodles!

No it isn't cheaper...I mean unless these people are at different stores.

Yi said we pretty much ended welfare in the 1990s. That being the case why are people still complaining about it?

You don't do the buy 6 get one free kind of deals over there?

Well I cannot speak for the rest of the country but not commonly no.
