Police are like a box of chocolates
They’ll kill your dog.
I don't know what I expected. Nothing can just be fun anymore.
I come into a comments section to read and maybe find something interesting and we have police brutality jokes, political bullshit, mean comments.
It confuses me that people are thinking about this stuff all the time and trying to jam their misery into everything.
Downvote me, up vote me, I don't care but I am just so tired of being forced to think about all the bullshit in the world every day all at once. It's inescapable.
Police are killing people. No one gives a fuck if you're sick of hearing about it you arrogant little shit.
Dude, there are thousands of people on this application every day. Someone is going to be thinking of something relevant to what's going on in the world at all times. Not everyone is thinking that all the time, but odds are someone is. Just like it's almost certain you won't win the lottery, but it's almost certain someone will. Lots of events happening all the time means even unlikely things are likely to happen.
Also, this was pretty funny. Comedy almost always has a political element to it. If you Rent saying anything meaningful or impactful, why say it at all, right?
You're sick of hearing about it, imagine the people who gotta get in your face and remind you of it because you can't empathize with the fact that they're the ones living it.
Welcome to the fediverse.
I'm not sure he was illiterate but he did play football at Alabama so it's a distinct possibility.
You just burned bama
Back in the day there wasn't maps when you got chocolate. Food allergies were not much of a concern back then and nutrition information wasn't required.
More to the point, the boxes weren't all the same. Sure, they only had ~10-20 different pieces, but they would be placed seemingly at random. You may (or may not) have had a card to identify them, but that wasn't tied to location.
It also doesn't cover the quantities. Does this box have 5 cherry cordials or just 1? What about honeycomb? Opera cream? Peanut butter?
You still see this from some of the smaller chocolatiers.
Most boxes of chocolate didn't have a card or map explaining which was which back in the 90s.
There was always a risky box of chocolates on grandma's kitchen table.
Each bite was a gamble: might be a delicious milk chocolate with a peanut inside, or it might be a bitter chocolate with some medicine-like cherry filling.
He wasn’t illiterate though. His character was just rather simple, and wholesome. I never thought his character was stupid, just perhaps autistic.
He is literate, it just took him longer to fully learn to be than most folks.
I think his mama was talking about how Boxes of chocolates were often sent to folks as a surprise, meaning they wouldn't know what's inside from being the ones to buy them originally.
Cops are like a box of chocolates: they'll kill your dog.
Well, I thought it was cute.
Even if you can read, it’s mostly just cheap praline.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
