Question for all: what is your current favorite chocolate/candy? Could be something unique to your country or a local specialty or just the first thing you think of when you want a treat.
My current favorite is śliwka nałęczowska, or chocolate covered candied plums from Poland.
I stumbled across them when trying to find Hungarian candies exported to my country (thank you to my dear friend and enabler, you know who you are) and I just want to state right here that Poland and Hungary Do Chocolate Right.
If you can get Polish chocolates imported, I recommend the chocolate covered plums x1000. They are the perfect amount of sweet, the candied plums taste like if you took dried cherries and removed the tartness, and the chocolate is milky and smooth and delicious.
If you are lucky enough to get Hungarian chocolates, oh my gosh, get yourself a Balaton bar. Or two. Or twenty. They are the BEST chocolate covered wafer bar I've had in my life. Crispy and delicate and delicious and they don't tear up the roof of your mouth. And if you dream of pure chocolate perfection, go for a Boci bar. I wish I could recommend the chocolate bar brand that had the plum bits in it (the one that made me wonder why my country doesn't do plums in chocolate), but I sadly forgot to take a picture.
So please share your current faves. I want to know what everybody's nibbling on (or horfing down à la I Love Lucy) this holiday season.
i feel like a lot of the 'i hate kids' crowd would be more tolerant if they understood that due to a kid's limited experience of the world that 4 hour flight might just be the longest they've ever had to sit still for or that trapped finger might literally be the most pain they've ever felt in their short life or they might not have ever seen a person with pink hair ever so of course they want to touch it or nobody's told them yet that they can't run around the museum and they only just learned cheetahs are the fastest animals so of course they want to put that to the test. how were they supposed to know etc etc.
I can't remember how much of this is implied canon or my own interpretation, but I fully believed that Chiron recognized Percy was a son of Poseidon from the fountain incident with Nancy Bobofit, knew that a child of the Big Three being claimed would be a total shit show, and simply chose not to say a word about it

I'm absolutely obsessed with Laios' logic that the other shapeshifters made mistakes the real party members were too knowledgeable/careful/wise to make
but for Marcille he's like "only the real Marcille would do something that fucking stupid"
I, a hearing person who likes subtitles just as a preference, shouldn't have to read a subtitle that's obvious nonsense, go back a couple seconds, and listen again in order to figure out what's going on. An accessibility feature should not be the most half-assed part of a professionally made production. Scripted media has absolutely no excuse for not having subtitles or having subtitles that aren't perfectly verbatim. Professional captioning services should be ashamed of the shoddy work that they put out. Captions should be treated as a part of the production, just like filming, editing, audio balancing, etc - and anything that releases with missing or bad captions should be seen as unfinished

It seems like I have become possessed. By some sort of demon.
It's insane how casually the calls to end a genocide, not just the students in Columbia University but pro Palestinian views in general, are labelled as terrorists. The audacity to still publicly support Israel's actions even after the horrific bombings these last months and then turn around to say that the ones who oppose it are violent anti semites is just baffling
