Retail doesn't pay much, she's probably just got 2 jobs.
maybe it doesn't pay much, but hey, at least it drains your soul
I can fix her...
Dutch beer brand Amstel had a long running commercial campaign that featured 3 friends enjoying their beer.
After that campaign ended, competitor Bavaria hired two of three actors and made a commercial with them enjoying a nice holiday and having them say Bavaria's tag line "Zo, nu eerst een Bavaria" (And now finally a Bavaria).
Trying to make my Dutch better, isn't that more like "So, now first a Bavaria"?
That's the literal translation, yes.
But in every day meaning, it would be closer to what you said? I'm struggling to understand where the "finally" concept came from, but I know some expressions carry further meaning than the words that compose it sometimes.
The word “zo” has a lot of different meanings. In this case it’s said at the end of a (difficult or long) task as filler word.
Like “zo, dat is klaar” (that’s (finally) done now), or “zo en dan nu tv kijken” (and now (finally) time to watch tv)
It doesn’t mean “so” in that case. It’s more similar to “hè hè” in that case. An expression of weariness and/or tiredness. And that’s why I translated it to “finally”. “Now this task is finished, I can finally relax with a beer”.
I hope this clears things up for you?
Aaah yes that definitely helps clear it up! And gives me a new perspective on "zo". Thanks so much for taking the time to type this up.
Speaking of beer commercials, who can forget an old classic https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1hYEKXE-4d0
I'm sorry but who is she for me and others that don't live in a*erica because I have no clue who she is
I live in the US and have no idea who this is because I avoid ads like the plague
Pihole and ublock origin for the absolute win
I'm guessing a fairly stereotypical cute gamer girl/nerd wet dream. The kind that gets a certain type of man autistically erect. Source: my colleagues in IT
But she's obviously a lesbian. Source: I know too many
Why are there so many of these doll-people that look like they have been preserved in wax?
I'm sorry not everyone has your rugged orc-like features.
So you admit you are plastic?
😏
I'm Asian, my people are notorious for looking like plastic.
And I keep accidentally pulling more femboys than women, try and figure out why that is, and goobye!
Turns out she's engaged to a man.
Sally Ride married a man. What's your point?
It's actually a cinematic trope, manic pixie dream girl. Basically the male version of dating a "dream girl"
yeah, she would get me
Just look at those pointy elbows, absolutely disgusting.

Why are we posting about commercials
Gurl hot
A true shit post one might say.
"In the twilight of bourgeois decadence, even the most trivial ornaments of culture shall be seized by the ruling class, for in latestage capitalism the elites will weaponize every spectacle - yes, even the egirls - to distract the proletariat from its chains." - Karl Marx
The worst part about this is that if Karl Marx was alive today he would 100 percent be posting shit like this online. You cannot convince me that Karl Marx wasn't the 1800s equivalent of that dude giving indepth historical economic overviews to his team in CSGO.
Based, this man would be added to my discord immediately

You wouldn't download a cute spokeswoman.. wait, yes you would
Fry already downloaded a cute movie star. I mean, will have already downloaded her.
Weird to think that there is some percentage of this world that still goes to BestBuy, GameStop, and watches ads on TV and that its big enough to be worth marketing to.
I’m often surprised when I hear how other people live. Conversation at work will go like:
Employee A: “Youtube ads are getting ridiculous.”
Me: “You still see Youtube ads?”
Employee B: “Yeah, just get Youtube Premium. Such a smart investment.”
Me: “Wait, what?!”
Several of my millennial friends have cable TV and Tivo or something just because they are creatures of habit and are too tired from raising kids to consider changing their process. Weirdly, my boomer parents are the most tech savvy media consumers I know. They just have terrible taste.

This reminds me of when the "can you hear me now?" guy from Verizon moved to Sprint, I think it was. How about them Epstein files though?
