Are poor people really gorging themselves on fine condiments? Of course not. Ridiculous.

That's not the same Sunshine that's on Lemmy, is it? 🤔
My Twitter account was deleted ages ago under a different name. Mastodon fulfils all my needs.
Oh yes, the classic “the poor people are secretly happy and that bothers me” argument. It’s like a cat call for stupid people. The whole point of it is to say “you’re not allowed to have anything remotely nice because I consider myself better than you.”
It’s mental illness made into a political platform.
Yellow mustard is not less fancy. It's yellow because it has turmeric in it. That's more ingredients and it's one of those fancy unique spices.
The reason it's cheap is because Americans like the flavor of turmeric in their mustard so some companies have made a cheap version of it.
Plus, different mustards for different foods. I like a yellow with a lot of things, but on a hotdog is pretty classic. I like a spicy brown mustard with some chicken. And maybe a stoneground for a deli sandwich. Chinese mustard from some restaurants, like with spring rolls, is also quite the treat at times, if you like the spice level! I'm hungry.
This guy mustards
😊
You're not allowed to call them that anymore
Sorry, that person mustards
And whole seeded mustard for honey mustard chicken, but use a fat mesh guard if your frying because those little fuckers like to jump out and land on your arms and it burns

They charge for the blue checkmarks? And...people do it? I haven't had xitter since years before nazi boy bought it.
Unpopular opinion but I think the blue checkmark as a way to show that you support the platform isn’t a bad idea, that it replaced a verification system was the actual issue.
Voyager shows usernames in purple when they are a contributor to their app.
Yes, it was one of the more contreversial changes he did. Before, you had to be "vetted" by xitter staff as being both notable and who you said you were. That wasn't a great system, and was effectively a nepotism/who you knew game, but you wouldn't see blue checkmarks for fake accounts.
It used to be a sign of trustworthiness.
Now anyone can get one for a monthly fee.
what I find shocking is that the website still exists and has so many users; I even know a user IRL who hasn't noticed it has gotten any worse since Elon took over ...
If someone using xitter hasn't noticed it got worse, it's probably because they don't think the Nazis are a bad thing.
Nah, it's probably because not everyone cares about the political stuff so if for example you only follow cosplayers or whatever, you never get to see the nazis. At worst you might notice more creeps leaving weird comments but I dunno, I don't actually use it. Maybe I'm way off.
Now, it just marks you as somebody stupid enough to give Elon money for no reason.

Grey Poupon is not fancy mustard. You can buy that shit in any grocery store, it was developed by food scientists and is mass produced in giant semi-automated factories. It's also not particularly expensive. If you can only afford yellow mustard but not Grey Poupon you shouldn't be buying any mustard because your budget is way too tight to be paying for condiments you can get free in a fast food restaurant.
The only reason people think it’s fancy is because of some dumb commercials made in the 80s.
Same reason people think "Corinthian leather" is fancy -- when there's actually no such thing as Corinthian leather.

Those weren't from the '90s? Am I so old that I'm now conflating these decades?
Yes, and I'm sorry. I'm also right there with you.
Also, don't forget to take your medication this evening.

They were referenced in Wayne's World in 1992 and I'm guessing that they were at least a couple of years old by then.
I always remember it from Biker Mice from Mars. And I’m not American 🤣

This is just a totally brain dead take. Maybe the SNAP recipient likes brown mustard and prioritizes it. And you don’t care that much so you don’t prioritize it. If it mattered to you, you would budget to get fancy mustard.
If you really do feel you can’t afford fancy mustard, you shouldn’t be mad at the person who earns food assistance and then uses it to buy fancy mustard, you should be mad that you aren’t making enough to afford fancy mustard.
It’s also like $4 to get a bottle of Gray Poupon, absolutely ridiculous to be trying to whip people into a frenzy over that to begin with.
that is how conservatives do it, tan suit, hot dog, djoin mustard, sipping from a cup. they always trying to find some thing they can complain about, which is anything.
This is not the first time Republicans threw an absolute shit fit over negligibly more expensive mustard...

Yeah, it’s not like SNAP users get a discount on “fancy” mustard, they just get use their government-given food money to buy whatever kind of food they want instead of the government policing how they are allowed to use their food money.
Oh the government absolutely polices how they're allowed to use the money.
This is just a totally brain dead take.
Well yeah, they're complaining about people who receive SNAP benefits, so that's a given.
According to Google, most SNAP recipients who can work, DO work.
A spokesperson for Google said that? Who even asked them?
