Get a rope…

Am I crazy, or was that the commercial where they made and released an “extended cut” to show that they had tied the guy up with the rope just to stop people complaining about the implied lynching? Or did my adolescent brain invent that story?

No I remember that too. A guy posted the one without the guy being tied up and I swore it was cut short.

I think you’re right. My mind’s eye is recalling him sitting there on a log all tied up while the rest of them eat Pace. I could absolutely be making that up though.

We make pretty good food. Lots of people from all over the world living it up in the city.

I’d bet you can get damn good salsa, but perhaps not as easily as just talking to some gente right there in Texas.

Never been to tx, no plans to, just saying the real mexicanos will know what’s up, whether in NYC or Texas.

Some Texas food is fucking good, but lots of it is shitty chain food, and garbage salsa has been had there as well.

There’s also really good (California level) burritos available in Boston if you know where to look. Anna’s Taqueria specifically.

Thank you. You’re doing the work of some lord or other.

“Lord” came from a phrase like “loaf warden” or “loaf guardian.” Because bread was the very important staple food, and someone had to be responsible for its safekeeping. Likewise, “Lady” comes from “loaf maiden,” presumably having something to do with the creation of bread from raw materials.

Absolutely correct. Lady stems from bread-kneader, in fact: https://www.etymonline.com/word/lord

Haha, oh my gosh… Pace tastes like the most disguising, sugary, boring ass salsa ever. It’s wild to see they ever tried to market themselves as authentic.

When it came to the pronunciation in that commercial, the very last thing they tried to market themselves as was authentic. Kinda hurt to hear.

It’s always funny to me that these billionaires have to cosplay as a badass. Can’t be your actual self, gotta always pretend to be a strong man.

And to make it worse, I’m like 85% sure that this is an AI generated image, so it’s him asking AI to show him what he looks like in cosplay.

Can I just say that as someone who enjoys dressing in the fancier western getups (think Tombstone) this more cosplay-rugged look screams insecurity when worn by people trying to look… Like they do manual labor?

Like he’s a billionaire. Where’s the tailored frock jacket, vest, and bolo tie, with a $3k hat. At least that way he wouldn’t be a poser

Or the regular, modern version: boots, jeans, belt, flannel, aaaaand $3k hat. In the summer, you swap your wool hat for straw, but don’t you DARE wear short pants or a t-shirt.

Personally I think we just need to collectively wear suit coats more often. It looks… Idk. Better than a lot of stuff. Maybe I’m just saying that because I’m fat.
